We Used to be so Close
Drew's POV
"Drew honey can you wake up Azalea?" I heard my wife call from the bathroom.
"Sure hun. What about Mas?" I replied hugging her from behind and kissing her shoulder.
"I already woke him up" she answered moving her face to kiss me on the cheek.
I tiredly walked down the hallway coming to the door marked Zee. I slowly opened the door and turned on the light. The light illuminated the room showing the band posters covering the black and white striped walls. I took a moment to look at the posters one was of a guy with blue eyes and either black or dark brown hair and 13th was written under him. "Looks familiar," I mumbled to myself before turning towards my daughter's bed. The lump under the red covers rose and fell steadily breathing.
"Zee" I started shaking her "Time to wake up baby-girl."
"Daddy five more minutes" she groaned
"What I have learned in my 34 years of life is that never works," I commented pulling the covers off of her.
"You just burned my retinas" she shrieked falling out of bed.
"Sorry sweetie" I apologized. "Get ready for school"
"Ugh..." She trailed off as I left the room. Not even a minute later I could hear the screaming and guitar riffs coming from the room. "Reminds me of Adam," I sighed sadly to myself….
Flashback
I finally graduated. I sat next to my girlfriend and sipped my drink. I was at the biggest party of the year… my girlfriend, Molly, pulled me to the dance floor when a slow song came on.
"I love you Drew" she whispered
"I love you too M&M" I replied "and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't have a ring right now but I love you and the only thing I want to change about you is you last name."
"Yes Drew I would love to be your one and only" she answered wrapping me in a tight hug.
O.o.O
A couple days passed and I started to notice her acting a bit weird.
"Molly-Bear what's wrong?" I asked determined to find out.
"You know I was brought up in a religious household," she stated
"Yes I do," I said from what she has told me if she associates with the wrong people her family will disown her.
"Your brother is the kind of person I not aloud to come in contact with" she said looking down. "and if you marry me you can't either"
I thought back to that morning when me and Adam were fighting… "Babe you're my everything so if it must be the so be it."
End of flashback
I remember fighting with Adam about it and the last thing he said to me was "I never want to see you again… I hate you." I never went to his graduation, I haven't seen him in 16 years, and I don't even know where he is now or what he looks like….
Adam's POV
Me and Eli were sitting trying to write so stuff for the new album
"So" he started "are you going to keep the name through the next album?" he asked referring to my stage name, Adam 13th.
"Yes, you don't understand I feel the need to hid…" I started before Eli cut me off
"behind the name. I get it… kinda… not really but I think we should do a ballad to begin the album and like tell a story through the songs kinda like the black parade ya know."
"Yes we should," I started "were gonna have time to write while we're on tour."
"Yes I cant believe we're kicking off in Toronto… our hometown. I can't remember the last time I was here. Now we're in a band." He enthused
"If you had told me my sophomore year I would be in a band let alone sing in one I would have not believed you." I commented. Honestly though it was a slim chance I was afraid I would run into Drew.
"Your worried about seeing Drew aren't you?" Eli questioned. That's why he was my best friend because he can read me like a fucking book.
"Yeah… I haven't seen him in 16 years I'm a little nervous about if I do." I answered shakily. Eli took a drag out of the cigarette I didn't even know he lit.
"It's his fault he gave up a perfectly good brother like you." He said with an apathetic manner.
"I guess your right," I replied looking down I was still deeply hurt by the day Drew told me that he couldn't see me anymore…
flashback
My phone rang and seeing that it was my brother I picked it up.
"Hey Adam" he said timidly into the phone.
"Hi Drew," I answered back
"I need to talk like in person. Meet me?" he asked with a kinda anxious undertone
"Um sure.. The Dot? Around five?" I suggested.
"Sure" he replied before hanging up.
O.o.O
"Hey Drew," I greeted when he entered the small café.
"Adam there's something really important I have to tell you," he started
"Okay spit it out already. What did you break?" I asked in a joking manner.
"A promise" he stated quietly "I'm sorry but I can't see you anymore."
"What?" I asked not believing what he had just said.
"I can't see you anymore. What you are is against my fiancés beliefs." He said a little louder.
"And what am I that is so unbearably wrong?" I seethed wanting to hear him say it.
"A tranny" he yelled almost like he was right an I was wrong in this situation.
"Ya know what Drew I never want to see you again… I hate you!" I screamed pushing my self away from the table and storming out of the Dot.
End of flashback
"Earth to Adam" Eli said waving his hand in front of my face.
"Huh… oh sorry I was having a flashback." I apologized
"You were out of it for about 5 minutes," he stated turning back to his laptop
"Yeah... let's just drop the whole Drew thing. How about a song about leaving someone you love or letting go for our ballad?" I suggested trying to change the subject to my career.
"Good idea Adam" Eli said before writing it in a notebook.
End Of Chapter One
Authors Note: Hi guys so… what did you think? And I know I made Drew kinda the bad guy but if you haven't noticed he has kind backstabbed Adam a couple times when it comes to girls. And who saw the Degrassi: Season 12 - Bite Your Tongue Promo… if you didn't look it up on youtube its really good. Well that's all I have to say. Review!
