~The Adam Nightmare~
~The Adam Nightmare~
Twas the night before my first and only Matchbox 20 concert, and I was
so excited it's not funny. I live in Mississippi and it had taken me a year
to convince my parents to take me to see them when they came back to
Memphis, Tennessee. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep(or so I thought at the
time), and all I could talk about was Matchbox 20. Hopes ran through my
head of meeting my favorite people in the entire world. And then there was
the never ending fear that something would go wrong and I wouldn't get
to see them. After putting all the cd's and about 200 pens in my purse, and
laying out my clothes for the following day, I decided to try and sleep. I pushed
play on the cd player, and the familiar sound of "Real World" filled the
room. I pushed repeat as I do every night to listen to the sweet sounds
of their voices and music talent. I stared at the poster over my bed and
thought..."I am going to see them tomorrow...I will be in the same room
with them..." before I started freaking out over the thought, I closed my
eyes and listened to the music. Not to long after that, I fell asleep, and
had the worst nightmare I can every remember having...
~We were on our way to the concert and instead of listening to my discman,
I was listening to the car radio and my parents talk about which way would
be the best way to go. We were running late and I just kept saying, "Thank
goodness Semisonic and Soul Asylum aren't opening for them anymore, or I
would be throwing one major fit." Then 3am came on...and I though what
luck, must be a good sign, and before I even asked my mom knew to turn
up the radio full blast. I was singing a long to the words as I always do,
not paying attention to anything, just in my only little world of MB20Land,
when in the middle of the song...this newsguy interupted it. He said something like this "We interupt this to bring all of you Matchbox 20 fans
some sad news, The rhythm guitarist Adam Gaynor, died an hour ago. All
concerts have been canceled for the rest of the year, and what will happen
to the group, we don't know yet....Now back to our regular program."
All I can remember was that I started screaming and crying and going no
it can't be true. I was going crazy losing my mind. I am not sure what
exactly happened after that, but I do know that my parents had to take
me to see a psychiatrist . And that everyone in the U.S. heard about
me, this girl who had lost her mind because of Adam Gaynors death. I was
in the hospital and the door to the room opened and in walked Rob, Paul,
Brian, and Kyle. I started to freak. "Do you know who you are?" And Rob
said, "Chelle, that's not important, there is something you should know.
Paul would you like to break the news to her?" Paul gave Rob a look. And
then he said, "You see Chelle, we heard what had happened to you and we
felt really bad, so there is someone here who would like to see you." I was
puzzled......not to mention still freaking out because Kyle was like standing
right there, but I looked at the doorway, and in walked Adam. I was like
what is going on? I don't understand. Rob Said, "Chelle, Paul and I....well
we kind of....." "We faked Adam's death," said Paul. I don't know why,
but Paul was standing right beside me, so I reached out and started choking
him.....I was so mad...Rob was trying to get me to stop choking Paul, and
Adam was going let them explain......so I was thinking I have got to hear
this one.......and then...~
Chelle wake up breakfast is ready.......talk about wanting to choke someone,
I really wanted to finish the dream........And to this day......I still try
to dream that same dream.....but all atempts have failed.....
And that is my nightmare. ~chelle aka rana~
