Today was the day I got home from college. No more classes. No more professors. No more ex. I am free. The moment I stepped off that plane I looked for my brother. I looked and looked until I saw that long hair. I was stopped in my tracks when I saw a huge pink streak in it. 'Oh well.' I thought to myself.
"Alexis!" I screamed while hugging my brother.
"Emily, I swear if you keep calling me that I'll kill you "his face got all serious and I fake pouted.
"I'm sorry Alex but your hair…. Just so feminine" I tousled his hair and smirked at him.
"This is the Alex gaskarth trademark sissy" he winked at me and I just scoffed. How did he get girls like that? Ew.
"Hey I'm meeting up with your husband and the other two today for practice. Wanna come?" he said while punching my shoulder.
"He isn't my husband!" I said defensively. "Oh no but you just dream and fangirl about him don't you?" he winked again and I punched his arm hard. "Jack barakat is the hottest guy in the band! Sorry if his skunk hair is adorable. He should've never taken it out." I said shaking my head disapprovingly "I'm sorry to disappoint my wifey" jack said with a burrito in hand. "Oh my god." I said and buried my head in my hands. I looked up again with my face all red. "Wait! The skunk is back!" I ran up to him and gave him a tight hug. "I still think you should be my wife" he smirked. "I want a damn good ring!" I laughed. He got down on one knee and held out his burrito. "Emily Rae gaskarth. Will you do me the honor of taking one very small bite out of my burrito and then be my wife?" I sat on his knee. "Of course my dahling" I said all fancy. I unwrapped the burrito and started to take a bite. "wait, you didn't fuck this did you?" I winked and he laughed. "alex made me not to. Sorry" I laughed and took a bite. "Yummy" I said and stood up.
"Dude. I'm ready to practice. And zack brought his skateboard" Alex said picking up my bags. "I saw those lyrics you put on your wall. They're really nice Emmy." Alex whispered in my ear. Only he knew how much I loved music. And my reasons why. But he knew I could never sing them. That's why he whispered. Jack would have been jumping up and down and screaming "SING FOR ME MY WIFEY!" I nudged Alex in his shoulder "thanks" I said back.
We finally got to the car and it was a silent car ride back. Well I wouldn't have known. I fell asleep right when we left.
I was woken up by "miserable at best" by mayday parade on the stereo. I started singing along when the "and I got the point that I should leave you alone" part came on and wiped a tear that rolled down. "Shit. I'm sorry em. I thought you were sleeping." Jack said and changed the song "its okay. It just always makes me cry." I said and sniffled and a smile came across my face when jasey Rae came on. '' we listen to our own songs… we aren't self-centered" Alex said laughing. "Why did you use my middle name?" I asked. "Because it rhymed…." Alex said like a 'duh…' comment. "Oh okay" I said laughing. Alex pounded on the brakes. "ALEX WHAT THE FUCK"I screamed. "Hot girl….. And were at rian's" he said staring at the girl. I got out and tiredly walked into rian's house. "DID YOU MISS ME" I yelled and I saw zack come around the corner. "Oh my god. Emmy! You're back!" he came and he hugged me." damn boy. You got ripped "I said and I poked his arms. ''thanks'' he said and smiled. I poked his nose and we laughed "where rian?'' I said frowning. "He got new drums. He doesn't trust a potentially naked jack around them." I rolled my eyes and made my way down to the basement. "Emmy….. Is that you!" he got up and gave me a huge hug. "oh my god. You look so different. I see two new tattoos? Beautiful." He said as he spun me around. "Awwwh rian" I said as I blushed. "You were always the nicest." I said and winked at him and gave him another hug. I walked over to the microphone and sang. "I would like to hear someone else besides me down here boys. With that they all came running down the stairs. "Good now play for me my boys" they got into their places and played jasey Rae for me. The rest of the practice went better than expected.
I brought them all waters and we all watched mean girls. I looked around and saw a suitcase by the stairs to the second floor. "Rian… who's bags are those?" I pointed to them. "Oh they're mine for warped…. Alex didn't tell you?" I glared at Alex. "No. he fucking didn't." Alex held his hands up "I under estimated your fangirling abilities sis." I slapped him on his arm. "So I'm just stuck here in Maryland while you guys go tour!" I said and got up. "LET MY WIFEY COME'' jack protested. ''Fine. She can come." Alex said after about 8 min. "well then I'm going home to pack…." I laughed and gave everyone a hug and a kiss on the cheek and walked home. It wasn't that far and I was surprised I remembered how to get home. I got the spare key from under the mat and walked inside. I was about to say "hey mom and dad." But I remembered they were on vacation for their anniversary. I ran upstairs to my old room and took a deep breath just taking everything in. I looked outside my window and saw someone inside the house… that house has been on the market for a long time. Had they finally sold it? I opened my window to get a better look. It was just some party a highschooler was having. Ha-ha I remember those days. But I'm a sophomore in college now. I have my own sorority mixers and formals and such. But who says a girl can't have fun? I plugged in my phone and put dashboard confessional on full volume and danced around my room while packing. I didn't need a party… I was going on warped :)
