*ALEXA'S POV*
I got up from my white carpeted floor and walked to my widow. I moved the curtains and saw Mikey. I held up one finger, signaling him to wait. I grabbed my purse and turned out the light of my bedroom and ran outside. "Mikey! What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Hey, you um, left your purse…" He said while blushing.
"Thanks," I said while taking it from him.
"Anyway, I thought you would like to see everybody. Ray and Frank are at our place, if you want to see them. I'm pretty sure that they would love to see you,"
"Yeah, I'd love to." I said while smiling like an idiot. We walked to the
Way household and I walked I after Mikey.
"Guys! I've gotta surprise for you!" Mikey said while chuckling.
"What did you do, now?" Frank asked.
"Just brought back our best friend,"
"Dude, we don't have any friends," said Gerard. They were all too focused on the game they were playing on their X-Box, to notice that I was here.
"Well, thanks, Gee. I feel so loved," I said sarcastically.
"What?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing. I just though that maybe you would remember me…" I trailed off.
"Oh, for hell's sake!" Mikey said unplugging the game console, "Would you three just turn the hell around? I didn't drag her out of her room for her to be ignored!" They all turned around and dropped their jaws.
"Hi again!" I said while waving and smiling.
"Alexa?" asked Ray.
"YUP!" I said.
Frank stood up and ran over to me. He grabbed me in his arms and hugged me.
"Hey, Frankie. Have you gotten shorter?" I said jokingly. He let me go, glared at me, and said "No, have you become bitchier?"
"Yes, yes I have," I said sarcastically. The room erupted with laughter.
"Well, I can say that you have gotten a lot prettier," said Gerard. The room broke out in "Ooh…"'s that you would hear in your average fourth grade classroom if a boy and a girl hugged each other.
"Oh, so I was ugly before? Thanks!" I said.
"No, now be serious, why are you here?"
"My mom got offered a job, so I asked her if we could move back into our old house…so we did." We all talked for about an hour until it got dark.
"I should really get going," I said.
"I'll walk you home," Gee said rather perkily.
More "Ooh…"'s erupted. I flicked off the room with a smile.
"Well then!" said Mikey leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
Gerard and I started to walk to my house.
"So," said Gee breaking the silence," Mikey, Ray, Frank, and I are in a band. We've got practice after school tomorrow at my place if you want to come."
"Sure! It beats hanging out with my Mom any day of the week!"
"What about your Dad?"
Tears started to roll down my cheeks.
"Um, my parents got a divorce…"
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I-I didn't know…"
"It's fine. It was for the best." I walked up to my doorstep and opened the door. "Bye, Gee."
"Bye,"
I walked up to my room and finished unpacking all of the empty boxes. I eventually finished and fell asleep.
NEXT DAY
*ALEXA'S POV*
School went by quickly. It sucked, obviously, but I really do not feel like talking about it. I got onto my bus. Bus #47.
Ehh…It didn't seem too deadly.
I looked for a seat. I was only the third person on, and there wasn't a line behind me. I looked at the bus driver. "Are we allowed to sit anywhere?"
"Yes, sweetheart," said a middle-aged woman. Her eyes were a dark brown and she had a nice smile. "Are you new?"
"Yeah, is it that obvious?"
She laughed. "Just a little." I noticed another kid come on so I walked to the very back. I saw Frank, Mikey, and Ray back there, too.
"Hey, mind if I sit with you guys?"
"Sure," said Mikey.
Gerard eventually came on and he sat next to me.
"Oops, sorry, well just move out of your way. We don't want to get in the way of the happy couple!" said Frank.
"Shut up! You guys are so mean!" I said while laughing. The bus ride was quiet. Only ten people came on, we were half of those ten.
When I got off, I walked over to the Way's house to see the guys perform.
They all got their instruments ready while I sat on an unused amplifier it the corner.
Finally, they were ready. They played there instruments perfectly and Gee sang like an angel.
You're just a sad song, with nothing to say.
About a life long,
Wait for a hospital stay.
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothin' to ya!
At all,
At all,
At all,
At all.
They sang more song, but the first one was my favorite. I kept reciting the lyrics in my head, writing them down in my composition notebook while they finished practice.
Disenchanted
Well I was there on the day It was the roar of the crowd Yeah, yeah, oh If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong) You're just a sad song with nothing to say I spent my high school career Yeah yeah, oh If I'm so wrong (so wrong, so wrong) You're just a sad song with nothing to say So go, go away, just go, run away. Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa You're just a sad song with nothing to say You're just a sad song with nothing to say At all, at all, at all, at all
They sold the cause for the queen,
And when the lights all went out
We watched our lives on the screen.
I hate the ending myself,
But it started with an alright scene.
That gave me heartache to sing.
It was a lie when they smiled
And said, "you won't feel a thing"
And as we ran from the cops
We laugh
How can you listen all night long? (Night long, night long)
Now will it matter after I'm gone?
Because you never learn a goddamned thing.
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya
Spit on and shoved to agree
So I could watch all my heroes
Sell a car on tv
Bring out the old guillotine
We'll show 'em what we all mean.
How can you listen all night long? (Night long, night long)
Now will it matter long after I'm gone?
Because you never learn a goddamned thing.
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya
But where did you run to? And where did you hide?
Go find another way, price you pay
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya, come on
About a life long wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong,
This never meant nothing to ya
Gee's voice was so perfect. Their instruments contrasted with his voice, to make the perfect sound.
Gee looked at me.
"Well, how were we?" He asked.
I got butterflies in my stomach.
"Amazing," I said with a smile.
Oh god, I think I'm falling for Gee, I just hope not…Why?
Because, if we start dating, it will be pretty hard for me to tell him that I'm also in love with his brother.
