Chapter 2

Tom sat there, looking out his window. He felt lonely, especially without him. Mark was his everything. They were best friends forever, but his new family was Atom, David, and Matt. He has to forget about Mark. "Mark," he whispered to himself, "I'm sorry. I really am." After a long pause of silence, Atom yelled for Tom. "Tom! Where are you?"
"I'm in my bedroom!" He yelled out in response.
"There you are. We have to start writing if you want an album out by next year."
"Okay, I'm on my way."
"Don't tell me you're starting to doubt this. It's too late to quit."
"I wish I could say that, Atom."

Meanwhile, Mark and Travis…

Mark picked up his phone and dialed Travis's number excited and hoping that he would pick up. "Hello? Mark?" He picked up the phone! "I have a rad name for the band; +44!" "That is a rad name. I like it." He liked the name. Things were going better than expected. He felt a smile on his face but quickly wiped it off remembering when Tom came up with blink-182. "Mark, you still there?"
"Oh, yeah. Sorry about that."
"You were thinking about him weren't you?"
"Yeah. Yeah I was."
