I made you want to cry...-Chapter 15
Back stage someone cues Darren,he's fidling with his costume. He dosent
want to go on. He feels like doing anything but singing. He walks out slowly
with his head down. He walks to the mmiddle of the stage and stands there. He
was supposed to have been singing and be in mid verse of 'Tears Of Pearls' by
now. He signaled to the band and said "Stop stop." Daniel looked at him with
confusion and sympathy and the crowd fell Silent....Darren walked out to the
end of the catwalk and Sat down indian styale. Then he spoke "I Cant sing" The
crowd began to stir a little bit, and someone yelled out "WHY NOT" form
somewhere in the crowd. Darren replyed "Because Ive lost something." Another
voice yells out "YEAH YOUR MIND" Darren lets a slight grin slip and then
returns to his emotionless state again. Someone near the catwalk asked if he'd
lost his voice and he said No..."What ive lost is more inmportant to me than
anything in the world. And without it I cant go on, much less sing. Ive lost
my heart..my heart and my inspiration. All in one bonehead night I lost
everything." A hush went over the crowd. "I......I lost Colby, without Colby I
can not go on sionging. She is my inspiration and encouragement. The sparkle
in my eyes the skip in my step, the beauty in my voice. Without her Ive lost
everything, without Colby I am nothing." He pauses and looks down. " I did to
her what no man should do to his wife. I Hit her..." and Darren went on to
explain what had happened. "I do not expect her to ever forgive me, or look at
me or talk to me. And I would beg heer forgiveness if I thought it would do
any good. But what I did was wrong. If only she knew how much she ment to me.
How much I love her and how sorry I am. I am surprised she even picked up the
phone when I called. II have lost everything, I'm sorry, but I can no longer
sing, nor live." with that he burried his head in his hands. Daniel walked
over to him and pu his arm around him, but Darren hardly noticed. He was in
tears by now.
In the audience Colby leaned over to Michelle and asked "I thought
he didnt know I was here." and michele smiled and said "He dosent. That was al
from the heart. No one knew, I dont even think he knew it would happen this
way. You better do something."
With that she got up and walked toward the stage. Daniel saw her coming up and
slowly left Darrens side to go back to his post at the Keyboard. He waved his
hands at the security guards as Colby approached them. She climbed up on the
stage un-noticed by Darren, Nelt down and put her arms around him. He moved
his hands away from his face and looked into Colby's eyes. He couldnt belive
she was really there. He could see the red mark on her face and grimmaced. He
stroked her other cheek to make sure it was real. And anaged an "Oh Colby.."
Before he buried his head on her shoulder and let the tears flow. "I'm sorry
too Darren." He looked up suddenly confused "what do you mean? For what?" And
he put his hands on her shoulders. "I hit you it's not your fault, it's mine."
"I know, but I love you and love should provail over all obsticals." "Colby I
love you...." before he could finish she kissed him delicatly on the lips. and
she whispered "Thats all I needed to hear."
In the back ground, Daniel
sarted up Truly Madly Deeply and Darren put his arms around Colby and
serenaded her to the song he wrote for her. She smiled and let a tear roll
down her cheek. Wich seemed to make the wound disapeer. Darren didnt let go of
her for the whole song. She lay her head on his chest and let him hold her
tight.And at the end he said, "Maybe I can sing now that I have my jewel
back." Colby rested her Head on his shoulder. "I know this has been a short
concert and I appologize, I'll make it up some day. Good night everyone!!!"
and then to Colby he said "Say good night Colby." and she looked up at him
with a smirk and said "why? I'm not going to sleep yet, and neither are you
mister."
