Disclaimer: I do not own any band or brand used in this story
I was sitting on a stool listening to them play. They were good; they were called All Time Low. Alex claimed they were going to be famous, alright buddy, good luck with that.
They introduced me to Zack, their bassist who went to a different school than them. I was kind of tired of meeting new people I just wanted to be eighteen already.
"So what'd you think?"
"Cool"
"You say that a lot"
"That's cool"
"Dude seriously"
"Why do you have a problem with that?"
"Nope"
"Cool"
Alex rolled his eyes and they started to take their stuff upstairs to the van.
"So we have to be at the venue in like two hours so we must pack up our van"
"Shooey can you get that box?" Jack asked. I shrugged and picked up a box full of shirts and other merch. I brought it up to the van and we finished. We got in and drove to their merch and manager's houses to pick them up.
"Mooshoo this is Matt"
"Hi, cool shirt"
He looked down at his Mickey Mouse shirt then back up at me with a huge grin.
"You're not going to molest me or anything right now, are you?"
He chuckled and shook his head.
"No, he just has a weird obsession with Mickey Mouse"
"Cool"
"She overuses the word cool"
"I'm really that cool"
"See what I mean"
"Well we're off to Vinny's house!"
We drove to their merch guy's house and he got in the van. God, we sound like pedophiles.
"Mooshoo this is Vinny"
"Cool name"
"Thanks, yours is cool too"
"If one more person says cool, I will cut Jack's guitar strings"
"That's not cool" I said.
Alex glared at me with a playful glint in his eyes.
We got to the venue and they started setting up. I sat down next to Vinny behind the merch booth.
"So tell me about yourself"
"I ran away, I have a fetish for llamas, I love Star Wars, and I have a lot of issues"
He laughed.
"Well that's nice"
"No, it's cool"
"It's cool" I nodded.
They started playing and the kids seemed to love them. They could make it far, and I'd be left in the dust, as usual. What am I even talking about? They've known me less than a day and my parents would probably find me soon, I really didn't matter.
They finished their set and some other band continued to play. Fans came over and bought shit and All Time Low took pictures and partied and it was just something I wanted to stay out of.
"You alright there Mooshoo?" I looked up from my shoes and looked at Zack.
"Why?"
"You're just alone and quiet"
"I've always been like this"
"Well are you okay?"
"Yeah, just thinking"
"About?"
"How my parents will eventually find me and take me back home"
He nodded then I added quietly, "and how you will all forget about me like everyone else"
"Why do you think that?"
"It's always been like that"
"But we're different"
"But you all just met me"
"That doesn't mean we will forget you and can't help"
"Help me with what? Hide from my parents? Honestly I'll probably be back with them in less than a month and I just I don't know Zack"
"We won't forget, if they do, I won't"
"Thanks Zack, that means a lot"
He smiled and pulled me into a hug.
The rest of the band walked over and we started packing the van back up. We dropped everyone off except Jack and went back 'home' I guess.
"Mom we're back!" Alex yelled.
She walked in the room from the kitchen.
"Just doing some cleaning, Mooshoo, sweetie, I'd like you to meet my husband, Peter"
Peter was standing next to her. He put his hand out and I shook it.
"You're the daughter I've always wanted"
"You have two daughters though" Jack said.
"They're old now" He laughed and turned to me.
"You're welcome to stay as long as you want"
I smiled and thanked him.
"I went shopping today and I bought a few things you would need, they're in your room" Isobel said.
"Oh, thank you"
She smiled at me.
"So we'll be upstairs" Alex said. They nodded and he grabbed Jack and I's hands and led us to his room.
I lay down on his bed upside down while Jack sits cross legged in front of me and Alex walks to his closet and pretty much strips down to his boxers.
"That's a pretty nasty bruise" Jack says. I forgot about it.
"What's it from?"
"Got hit in the head with a vase"
"Seriously?"
I nodded and felt the bed sag. I sat up and looked at Alex.
"Nice clothes"
"What clothes?" I rolled my eyes and Jack came and sat down next to me.
"Wow, all alone in a room with two boys in their boxers, whatever should I do"
Jack wiggled his eyebrows at me.
"Well I'm going to go change and then go to bed"
"Aw"
"Please don't show up in my room in the middle of the night"
"I won't, but I'm not sure about that kid" Alex pointed to Jack.
"Alright well goodnight"
"Night" They said as I walked out of his room and to my new one.
On my bed were basically toiletries and some new basic pieces of clothing. I smiled and put them away and changed into a tank top and pajama pants. I turned out my light and lay down in the bed.
It might be hard, but they'll find me. I can be sure of that.
I woke up and the light was shining brightly in my room. I looked over at the alarm clock on the night table. It was 9 am. I rolled out of bed and looked in the full size mirror on the wall. My black hair was slightly wavy and my 5'7 body looked like I was hurt just last night. I grabbed a sweatshirt and put it on so it covered my bruises. I brushed through my hair quickly before walking into the hallway.
I heard music coming from Alex's room so I knocked on the door.
Alex opened the door in skinny jeans, a Blink-182 shirt, and a pink bandana around his hair. I raised an eyebrow but shrugged and walked in. Jack was lying on the ground with his cell phone in front of his face.
"Good morning sleeping beauty"
"Good morning"
I yawned and sat down in his desk chair. I started spinning around until Alex stopped me.
"What?"
"You're going to get dizzy?"
"And your point is?"
He rolled his eyes.
"You people are boring"
"Well thanks?"
"Yeah no problem"
"I'm hungry, Alex I'm going to go raid your fridge"
"I'm coming"
"Well I'm not staying up here alone"
"Scared?"
"Yeah of course"
We walked downstairs and started going through the cabinets. We found oreos and started eating them.
"Did you know oreos are vegan?"
"Whoa seriously?"
"Yeah"
"If I could eat only oreos for the rest of my life I would go vegan"
"Who wouldn't?"
"So tomorrow is Monday"
"Yes and?"
"Don't you have school?"
"You're coming too"
"I'm not enrolled in any school and how are we going to explain when I'm appearing out of nowhere?"
"My mom took care of that"
"Are you serious?"
"You start tomorrow and you're my half sister"
"That's really awkward; your dad had sex with your mom conceiving you, and then me with another woman. But yet your parents are still together, interesting"
He laughed, "Yes of course, let's go technical shall we?"
We continued our day by lying around the house in boredom and then Alex invited Rian, Zack, Rian's girlfriend, Alex's girlfriend and another friend I guess.
"This is Lisa" Alex said and the short blonde girl smiled.
"Nice to meet you"
"Um, yeah, nice to meet you too" She didn't seem so happy with the idea of me living here, but still, Alex and I? Haha, hell no.
"This is Kara" Rian introduced his girlfriend. She was pretty and nice, better than Lisa. Then there was their other friend, Maria.
"Maria is a stripper" Jack said.
"Well thanks for that introduction Jack"
"Yeah no problem"
"You're seriously a stripper?"
She nodded.
"Will you strip for us?" Jack asked.
She rolled her eyes.
"No, never"
"That's not fair"
"Of course it's not"
"Well Alex I've got to get to work, I'll see you later" Lisa said and kissed his cheek.
"Bye guys! Nice meeting you Mooshoo!"
I smiled at her as she walked out.
"So what are we doing?"
"Disney movies!" Jack yelled and pulled me to the couch. I sat down next to Zack, Jack on my other side, Alex next to him, and Rian Maria and Kara on the floor in front of us.
"What movie are we watching?"
"Aladdin"
"Of course Jack would choose that"
"I don't get it?"
"Jack is arab"
"Um okay?"
"I am the modern day Aladdin Shooey"
"Oh um okay"
"Be quiet it's starting!" Jack started squirming and then grabbed my arm in excitement.
Honestly, I could get used to this, but I knew I wasn't going to be here for too long.
You know how sometimes you stop doing something for months and you're just about to admit you did it, but then you end up doing it again? Skjdfsdgkhehf all the time for me.
I'm still unsure about this story. It's like… moving too fast? Well to me it is. I need to slow it down, you know? Yeah okay, whatever, cool, moving on, review.
