*C's P.O.V.*

Something's wrong with Patrick. He's too distracted to even focus on his performance and I know that this is definitely not him.

I immediately made my way to the backstage and asked to give the guys a three-minute break, fortunately, they did. The moment the boys are backstage, I ran towards Patrick.

"What's wrong?" I eagerly asked him and he's already looking around like someone is watching us. The others have joined the conversation too.

"The drummer. Don't you see something familiar?" He asked and I'm afraid that he would ask that.

Since the time I bumped into him, I already got scared...this person might be the person that I saw last night, the old me. My breathing got shaky and I'm sure that my face got pale because they are now worriedly looking at me.

"You do see it, Chasity. Of course, because he's acting like...moving like Chase." He explained and the goosebumps hit me more.

"I agree with Patrick, but, so what? Maybe it's just coincidence?"

"He's been looking at us...suspiciously. I think this might be Matthew's doing, he's here to confuse us, but we're not falling for it. Just keep yourself ready. I think that person will probably do something soon." He seriously said, but I'm honestly not paying any attention to him anymore.

I'm already busy trying to think of a way to talk to that person, if Patrick is right...that person might have the perfect answers for my questions.

"Chasity! Stick with Allie and Elaine, okay?" Patrick worriedly looked at me and I mindlessly nodded at him.

Their stage manager i already calling them again and after that they walked back on stage again...and now it's time for me to make a plan.

**************

*Patrick's P.O.V.*

I was beginning to think that I might be wrong about my intuition because the drummer didn't really do anything bad on stage, in fact, he even seems so happy and excited about playing there, but he just kept on glancing at us. Maybe I just became too paranoid for now?

"Good job, everyone!" I said while trying to act normally. I high-fived my friends and then I came to the point where I high fived our drummer for the night. "You're great out there." I honestly told him.

"Thank you. I'm a big fan of your band and it's an honor." He said it's just weird that he's still not removing his costume. "But, um, can I talk to you for a while? Alone?" He suddenly said and I can see the determination in his eyes.

My heart beat raced after that, maybe I really am right about him. I pushed myself to smile and nod at him and I saw his eyes lit after that.

"Hey guys, wait up, okay?" I told my friends as a warning and Pete gave me a reassuring nod. I'm sure they'll be ready to save my ass if I ever messed up.

I and the guy walked towards our dressing room and he locked us in, I can somehow feel him.being nervous about something, but I think that's just how he want me to think.

"Who are you?" I bravely asked him with my serious tone. I leaned against the table as I look at him. He immediately looked at me and his eyes shows panic.

"Please don't get the wrong idea, Patrick. I'm not here to --

"W-who are you? You've been suspiciously looking at us the whole time. Your name and gestures are too much for a coincidence, and now you fucking remind me of a girl that we just found days ago. So, if ever Matthew sent you, I can say that y-you'll neve--

"You don't know how much that thought of yours made me happy." He suddenly said with a voice that was way too familiar to me. "But please, Matthew didn't send me...I...this is, I can't fucking explain this without making you think that I've gone crazy or that I'm on his side. But please, don't panic." He said and then slowly removed his mask and the moment it was fully removed, I stared at her, dumbfounded.

She' Chasity, the old Chasity, having the same face, but a lot thinner. I want to say something to her, but the shock was too much on this one. She was sadly smiling at me while holding her mask.

"Patrick, please believe me. I'm the real Chasity, Matthew already fooled you. That Chasity is not the real me! Look, I still have the same fucking face on and I have the memories of that one year --

My eyesight black out and the next thing I know is that I'm pinning this girl against the wall by her costume and her expression says that that move really shocked her.

"I don't believe you. Whoever you are, tell Matthew that we're not going to fall for his fucking tricks again!" I said with a gritted teeth, I'm really shaking in anger here and I don't even know why.

"P-Please, b-believe me." She pleaded I realized that I was choking her and the shocked me, I let go of her and she coughed. "I fucking have the advantage here, Trick. Same face, complete memory! I'd be dying to tell you anything you want to here because this is who I really am. I'm Chasity. I can explain why and how that girl --

"And that's the same reason why I don't believe you. If you knew all about this, why would you just show up now? It's almost been a year after 'your death', but now you just showed up after we found the real Chasity? And how the fuck would you know all about this? Do you want us to believe that you spent so much time spying on us instead of making an effort to be noticed by us? That's not how the Chasity we know would think." I told her with a smirk.

"Yes! I know that is how Chasity would act, but how can I? I've been locked up by Matthew! Can't you physically tell that, look at me!" She said she's beginning to panic too because her voice is getting louder now.

"Sorry, but I'm not buying it. You may have her old look, the memories, but the way you think is not like Chasity..." I told her.

I tackled her again and held her hands at her back, I was shocked because she's not even fighting back.

"Hoe naive can you be?" She murmured and made a sound between a laugh and a whimper. "I thought you're the first person who'll notice the difference, but I guess I was wrong. This really had corrupted you." She sadly said and my grip to her just got tighter.

"I noticed that you're working with Matthew. One crew told us that the real drummer for tonight mysteriously canceled for this and before he completely left, he mentioned the name Matthew. The real Chasity WOULD NEVER work with that guy. And another thing, I did notice the difference, and I know you're the fake one, because if you are the real one with the memories of us. You would have fucking made every effort to get to us in the fastest time possible...which you never did." I told her harshly and she looked at me like I just stabbed her right in her heart.

*****************

*Chasity's P.O.V.*

"You would have fucking made every effort to get to us in the fastest time possible...which you never did." Patrick said to me and that's the moment I realized that words are indeed knives and will always leave a scar behind.

I wanted to shout at him, tell him every effort I made! I would have cut my own hands just to see them again if I can. Scratches are all over my wrists that show how hard I struggle every day to break free from that fucking prison! I shouted at the top of my lungs and I think that my voice box is so angry at me at that time. I fucking made every effort just to be with them again...and this is all what I get?! Him saying that I didn't do my best?!

"If you only know, Patrick...your last words HURT me more than seeing you kneeling in front of Elaine, asking her to marry you." I told him and that got him in surprise.

I took the opportunity and broke free from his grip. I was able to pin him down on the ground with my shaking hands. My sight is going blurry too because of the tears that I'm producing while I look at the person that I love who can't even bring himself to believe me.

"No matter what you say...I will never believe you, the fact that you're working with Matthew is a dead give away that you are not her." He murmured while he struggles to break free.

"And no matter how stupid you are...I-I will always love you, and that's just want I've been dying to tell you every day." I said sadly and that made him calm.

I noticed that the others are now trying to enter the room, meaning I had to find a way out soon because if I don't, it'll be a big problem.

"I guess, this is really it. Bye, Trick." I said holding back all the tears.

I let go of Patrick and ran towards the other exit. I escaped the venue faster than I can think of...but I really can't believe that Patrick didn't believe me despite all this. Matthew is still winning.
