1495 Chapter 1495
The yacht docked and docked in Malibu. The private beach of Hugo's villa came in handy at this time, and the group went ashore quietly. Under the arrangement of Rick, Carl and others, everyone continued to He left the villa and ended the carnival of the night.
Originally, this should be a night of celebration, joy, and harvest, but the golden man's curse struck suddenly, without any warning, and without any pause, which caught Hugo by surprise, and was completely defeated.
Hugo sat quietly on the edge of the open-air bathtub on the roof of the third floor, looking at the sea where he could not see his fingers. At this time, it was getting closer to the morning, but the closer to dawn, the darker the night, and even the little stars at midnight could not be seen. , only the boundless darkness remains.
"Hugo..." Neil called out aloud, and the fluttering voice was suddenly swept up in the sea breeze, and then dissipated without a trace.
Hugo turned around, his face had completely recovered, but the bright eyes were completely hidden behind the hazy eyelashes, and there was no brilliance at all under the cover of darkness, "Oh, Neil. It will be more troublesome to go back tonight, or just stay."
Neil and the others often come to Hugo's house to play, and often spend the night here. There is almost no free time in the Hugo's guest room. At this time, Yuguo was really normal, as if nothing had happened just now, he kindly and friendly invited Neil and the others to stay.
But Hugo's attitude made Neil feel uneasy. Neil looked back at Fukuin, who was standing beside him. At the door of the French window in the distance, Alfonso and Pedro stood there awkwardly, thinking about it. If you want to get close, but you can't move your footsteps, you can only stay in the same place like a sculpture.
Fujin frowned slightly, "Hugo, don't have such an attitude, you know we don't mean that, we need to talk."
Fokjin is not a self-expressive person, but his words could not have been more clear. Fukukin and the others clearly knew that it was because they cared too much and cared too much that Hugo lost control. If Hugo just treated them like normal band members, like Slash and Axl in Guns and Roses, Hugo wouldn't be angry at all, much less angry.
Because as the soul of Hugo, Hugo brought glory to death alive, and he has done his job well. He didn't need to care what Pedro and Alfonso thought at all. To put it harshly, even if Hugo leaves Glory to his death, he can form another band; even if Hugo stops rocking, he has no worries about his future livelihood.
However, Hugo cares.
There was a light smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, "Well, indeed, we need to talk. I already have some ideas about the new album. I will sort it out during this time. Let's gather together to discuss and discuss. If Sheeran was asked to come to L.A., the third album should indeed be ready."
"But you didn't say about the new album..." Neil frowned and said in confusion, has Hugo broke through the bottleneck? But Fookin patted Neil on the shoulder, stopped Neil from speaking, and said, "Hugo, you know, this is not the time to talk about this, and we are not talking about albums."
In the face of Fu Jin's aggressiveness, Hugo's smile was even bigger, but the eyes hidden in the night still couldn't see any expression, "This is our problem, Fu Jin, you should realize it. , that's our only problem."
Originally, Fukukin wanted to discuss the internal affairs of their band, about Alfonso, about Pedro; but hearing Hugo distort his point of view, he felt very awkward, but Fukukin couldn't say anything to refute it. Say. Of course, the biggest problem with Glory to Death is that there has been no activity for a long time, the new album has been missing for a long time, and the new tour is still in the future... But, compared to the career, the internal problems of the band are the most important, right?
Fujin looked at Hugo who was always smiling in front of him, but the rebuttal words in his heart were stuck in his throat. No matter what other people don't know, as a member of Glory to Death, they should know better than anyone what Hugo has gone through along the way, Uma's betrayal, Joseph's original misunderstanding, from EMI Records On the road of music dream and rock dream, not only Hugo, but also the band, and the people around them, have been facing all kinds of temptations. Confused, the big dye vat of Vanity Fair is eroding them all the time.
And the idea that supports the glory of going all the way to the death is the kind of madness and perseverance that sacrifices one's life for the music. As the name of the band says, it is either glory or death. This is the fundamental reason why the band has achieved what it is today. But now that Alfonso has fallen, Pedro has fallen, and it's even more ridiculous that even Fokine and Neil themselves can't say definitively that they haven't changed.
The situation that Hugo has been afraid, has been worried about, and has been rejecting is still coming. Recalling the countless injuries he has suffered, this time Hugo chose to escape, or chose to self-isolate. He did not want to face such a situation again. The situation is over, and he doesn't want to tear his face with his friends again, and he doesn't want to face the harm caused by betrayal, disputes, and trust again.
Looking at Hugo like this, Fu Jin couldn't speak, and he couldn't force Hugo. Fu Jin couldn't bear to look away, he didn't even have the guts to face Hugo's smile.
Suddenly, Fukukin remembered the song "Hollywood's. Not. America", which is not well-known among fans, but has an irreplaceable status for the band. At this moment, is it glory to death or glory to death? They seem to have lost their name unknowingly.
This is the bottleneck of glory to death, and this is also the bottleneck of Hugo. They have been shackled since a year ago. Even if they subconsciously perceive this abnormality, they are still uncontrollably deeper and deeper in the big environment of Hollywood. , and then exploded on the night without any reservations, leaving the entire band torn apart.
Glory to death needs to find the power that brings the five of them together, but... things are different, can they really find themselves? Helena-Jenny, her shattered soul has been scattered in the California sun, and she can no longer find the bright smile in blue jeans, and glory to death?
Foggin is silent, he needs a little time to rearrange his thoughts; Neil is silent too, he needs a little time to figure out what is going on in all this... Although on the surface, it is Alfonso or Pedro's problem , but each of them clearly knows that this is a problem within the band, and one cannot simply blame one person.
Neil looked back at Alfonso and Pedro. He suddenly remembered the quarrel that broke out not long ago over whether to attend the Grammys. Although it has been more than a month, it seems like it just happened yesterday. . Since when did they become increasingly distant?
Alfonso avoided his gaze, he couldn't look directly at his teammates, he couldn't ignore the guilt that was rolling in his heart, and he couldn't forgive himself...
"Neil..." Pedro took a half step forward, trying to say something, but his voice got stuck in his throat, and the chaotic brain didn't know what to say at all, it seemed that it was other than "I'm sorry" There was nothing left in his head.
After realizing this, Pedro couldn't help shivering.
Then Pedro's eyes met Hugo's. Hugo still had that gentle smile at the corners of his mouth, dimly from a distance, as if he was giving Pedro friendly encouragement. It seemed that nothing had changed. , But Pedro knew that things had changed completely, because he couldn't find the familiar kindness and banter in Hugo's smile, he could only see strangeness and courtesy.
This smile made Pedro at a loss, but he opened his mouth, but he was speechless, all the language became pale and weak, and even the sentence "I'm sorry" became extremely ironic.
Once Pedro told himself that he was an adult capable of independent behavior, suck. Poison is his personal choice and has nothing to do with other people, not to mention that almost 90% of the people in the entire rock circle smoke it. Poison, he is following the trend, there is nothing wrong at all. So every time he can convince himself with peace of mind.
Now it seems that there is still nothing wrong with this reason, but Pedro has no way to convince himself. He can only stand there blankly and stare at the endless night in front of him.
The balcony fell into silence again, and this intermittent silence revealed an endless cold. Fu Jin turned around, left the balcony straight, and walked downstairs alone, without greeting anyone. Afterwards, Alfonso and Pedro also hesitated, and went downstairs one after another.
Neil stood where he was and looked at Hugo, wanting to say something. Neil knew that as the leader of the band, this was not a false name. Hugo always respected his decision, and the band members depended on him, but at this time, he felt a burning shame split in his back. A wound, and in the end, Neil still couldn't say a word, he could only turn around in embarrassment, and left the balcony as if he was running away.
Looking at the empty balcony again, Hugo's smile gathered little by little, then turned around again and looked at the boundless sea in front of him.
Dazed, only a daze remains. Hugo had no way to blame his teammates, not only because he had no position, but also because he himself fell into confusion, that confusion was like a giant beast in the depths of the sea, directly swallowing him. So, Hugo also needs a little time, needs a little time... to be alone for a while.
