Adam's POV

"-Hey give me one more bottle!!!"
"-There is no more beer for you Lar! You're still underage!!!" Edge says with a really serious look on his face like he is speaking to his daughter. Larry makes a funny look, sticks his tongue out at him and grabs the bottle from Edge's grip drinking it all at once.
"-You are really a serious pain in the ass!!!" comments The with a pout on his face as Larry grins full of delight.
They are not gonna grow up never ever I think to myself as I take a sip from my beer. It's like the old good times but clearly something is missing... There where though times in the past for all of us. We've been through thick and thin together. We have disagree a million of times, we have fought with each other but we overcome all of this to become a family. We don't have the same blood to connect us but we have something as strong as this, we have ideas, we have experiences we've made together! I feel like I have three more brothers to count on while they can count on me!
"-Stop messing around with me Mullen" said The with anger.
I turn my gaze to them as my train of thoughts stops and I come back to reality to see Larry who is now over The Edge pulling his beany and screaming some crazy things which reminds me of the first attempts of their children to talk.
"-You two!!! Calm down! We can't complete our album without a guitarist or a drummer. It would be a disaster!" I try to explain to them but their only reaction is more childish than their altitude:
"-He was the one who stared this!!!" exclaim the two of them pointing with their fingers one another.
"-Just stop this thing!!!" I almost command. I put my bottle on the ground and run to their direction trying to make them stop as now they are fighting for real. I grab Larry from behind his back and I make him stop pulling him away from Edge's grip but The is still free to continue his "game". I thought that Bono would come to stop The while I would take care of Larry but Bono is nowhere to be seen!
"-What's going on with you B? I need you here!!!"
"-What's going on?" I hear him say, his voice not upon a whisper!
"-Bono, are you ok?" asks The as he seems to drop his previous attitude.
"-No. Not really..."
"-Here take a beer. Everything is gonna be better with a pint of beer." suggests Larry as both him and The are back to their normal behavior.
Bono takes the bottle in his hands peering at it like is the first time he hold something like this. After a minute or so as we are trying to understand what happened to him he exhales heavily drinking all his beer at once. He was the something that was missing, his energy, his positive altitude and his cheerful voice! If the guy standing right in front of me wasn't Bono I would say he suffer from some kind of depression. As I am lost in my thoughts and Larry is trying to understand what happened to our crazy front man Edge seats down close to Bono hugs him and whispers only three words:
"-We can't!"
"-It's not fair! Do you even realize this!!!"
"-You are not a superhero Bono! You can't save the whole world!"
"-I know I fucking know this Edge but I want to do something, anything to help!"
"-Don't underestimate your efforts! One, Red our co-operation with Amnesty International..."
"-Did you see that bullet in the morning? Did you see that young man and the policeman? It wasn't a game!" he says and buries his head within his hands.
Edge hugs him tighter as Larry and I seat by his side as well. I don't know how Edge manages to understand what was going on through Bono's mind but one thing is for sure he is in a terrible mental state... And I know I owe him that I am who I am right now when he helped me out with my drinking addiction and now I can help him 'cause I know how tricky our mind can be and I know some times it drags us to very dark and nasty places...

"-You know what B? Life is not a game but... Oh God we have to understand that every one of us is in this world with a reason!" I say to him as he turns his gaze to look at me

"-Which is my reason? What can I do?"

"-Music is our reason! That's our weapon against everything! We make music to change our selves and through this change the whole world around us!"

"-You know why the policeman was chasing the young man?"

"-I assume that he was..."

"-No! He wasn't a thief or a criminal!"

"-He wasn't?"

"-He was a refugee! Just a man who couldn't stay in his country that his life was in danger and he abandoned his whole life to come there and that's the way we treat him!!! It's unfair! I have everything while some other people have nothing at all! I am a fucking idiot!"

"-No you are not!" I exclaim but he is not listening

"-How do you know he was a refugee?" Asks The as the smart and logic one of the band

"-He was speaking some kind of Arabic dialect and the policeman didn't asked him to stop him he was trying to get rid of him!"

"-You are full of range but I know that there is no one in this world more capable than you to transfer his range and his pain into music, into art! That's who you are! That's what your purpose in this world is!" I say to Bono and I believe every single word I said to him.

"-I need to do something big! I want to make a change and this time I need to do it on my own!"

"-Sometimes you can't make it on your own! These are your lyrics!!! Remember?" I ask him and he buried his head once again into his arms

"-Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
But...

Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone" The starts singing as I hear Bono exhale heavily and after that he whispers

"-The bring your guitar! Larry give me a beat, a really strong and good beat like the ones only you can make and Adam if you had your bass with you it would be a blessing but..."

"-I got it! I always do! You know I don't really like rehearsals but this is not a rehearsal anymore" I tell him with a big grin in my face!
