"I want a divorce." Those words still rang in my head like a gun shot whenever I had a moment to myself.
My wife-ex wife- Jeanette was unhappy with marrying a rock star. I don't know why we even dated then. I cried when she told me. Tried to make excuses for us to stay together, but she still packed her bags and left. I had a lot of support from my band though. Though they were not too happy with my decisions.
Flashback
"Hey guys, can we talk for a moment?" I asked stepping into the living room where they were all playing video games.
"Yeah sure." Gerard said leaning over and turning off the game. They all sat there looking at me. It was kind of unsettling.
"You know how me and Jeanette have marriage problems?" I asked they all nodded, it wasn't that much of a secret. "Well last week she kinda asked for a divorce." I said lamely and hung my head. I heard collective gasps. They all knew we had problems but never thought Jeanette would divorce me. She is a gold digger.
"I can't believe it." Mikey said.
"Me neither," Said Frank. I didn't move. I hate this.
"What do you need us to do?" Gerard asked, touching my shoulder.
"Is it okay if I take a month or two off after the divorce is finalized?"
"Of course," He said before we all just sat in silence.
End Flashback
It took three months, but my divorce is now finalized, which is why I'm on this plane back to my hometown. I'm rooming with some of my old friends. As the plane gets to the runway I realize that coming home may change my life and keep me from leaving the band. Well, we'll have to find out.
