COMET CHAOS P.O.V.
'let smiles consume us,
Sometimes it's the only thing we have left in us.
Hide our wrists like its something to be ashamed of.
Show them, show the world,
What you're really made of…'
When we got to Robby's parents house, his parents were out front! What?! What's happening?! Robby must have the same mind cause he said the same exact thing.
He parked and got out of the car. "hey mom, dad. What's up?!" me and hatter stayed in the car just in case they told us to leave. They smacked his across the face. I gasped.
"why didn't we know about this band nonsense?" Mr. Topps yelled. Mrs. Topps stayed quiet throughout the whole exchange.
"you never asked. How did you just figure out?" Robb asked. Yeah, I mean we've been pretty local and even went to other states for gigs. How did they not notice that their oldest son has been gone for long periods of time?
"look. Robert. I know we haven't been the greatest parents but you had to know we'd figure out somehow" mrs. Topps finnaly spoke up.
"yes. I know. Your not stupid. But this has been going on for 2 years. And now were going on Warped Tour." Robb explained.
"yes. We know about that! Some person called Jessica called to tell us what you've been doing this time," Jessica, we don't know any Jessica. "this riff-raff isn't going to get you anywhere! So therefore, you are not going." Mr. topps said in a stern tone.
I got out of the car. "you cant do that! Hes 18! He can do whatever the fuck he wants okay!" his parents looked at me, shocked that I would swear. "yes. I fucking swore. Get the hell over it. Hes coming with us. Youre staying here." Gosh. Two fights in 1 day. opened his fish mouth. "NO EXCEPTIONS! Its final." They all stared at me like fish out of water. The image made me start to smirk, then really smile.
Me, robb, and hatter walked up to robs room 2 pack his things. I sat on his bed, fiddling with his picks.
"you are 18 right?" I asked. I had to! Because if he wasn't id be made a complete fool of.
"yeah, of course. Aren't you?" he asked me.
"duh. So why did they freak out like that? Your parents I mean." I asked. Its not like I never acted out. Hatter was sprawled out on the bed, with his eyes closed.
"oh." He blushed a little under my watchful gaze, "I talk about you guys all the time, I guess they thought more like classmates more than band mates though."
"I have a question for you." Hatter said suddenly.
"Jeezus! You scared me, ginger." I put ginger there to get back at him for almost killing me.
He opened one eye and raised a brow. "what did you call me?"
"nothing." I said quickly and quietly.
"okay then. My question is, what made you smile? I haven't seen you smile like that since forever, or joke around like this for a while…you're not on your meds are you?"
"when you all stared at me, you looked like fishes. So I imagined you like fishes, with suits and top hats. But then a hammerhead shark came and ate you," I paused for their reactions.
"was I at least a cute fish?" Robb broke the silence.
"no. you had a moldy eye. So the hammerheads left you alone. And I guess that emotion stayed, and no. im not on the damn happy pills. You will cover for me right? When Jez attacks, right?" I looked at both of them until they agreed.
"so your naturally happy right now?" hatter asked, as if it was too good to be true.
"I won't be if you keep asking." But it was already too late. I felt the gloom come back over me.
There was a knock at the door. It was Alice. Robs year younger sister, she was real sweet. Although they look nothing alike, as I often reminded rob, they were quite similar in personalities.
"I didn't tell mom. Even though I saw you guys online and in the bar. I didn't tell. Just thought I should let you know." When nobody said anything, she in her reserved way, waved goodbye and backed out the door.
I lept of the bed, and ran out to the hallway. "hey Alice."
She turned. "yeah"
"thank you. For not telling. You know he would have been in big trouble. Thank you, again. And I promise. When I become all rich and famous," I said that sarcastically, "I won't forget you. I'll make songs out to you one day. I will." I met her serious blue eyes. And gave a short curt nod.
I thanked her more than just not telling on Rob. I owed her my life.
When I walked back into the room they were just done packing. "ready?" I asked. They both nodded.
When we got back to the apartments we found complete and udder chaos. My clothes were strewn about the apartment. Someone opened my closet, jezebel, how many times have we been over this. Don't open the fucking closet unless I'm home!
Jez came out looking like she just fought off the zombie apocalypse by herself. Her eyes widened when she saw us in the middle of my clothes. She ran up and hugged me.
"I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! I love you so much! I know that this dried peach is yourself! I'm sorry I act more like a mom sometimes than a friend!" she started crying in my arms. I tried wriggling out of it, but each attempt made her grip tighter.
'HELP.' I mouthed to my band mates. They shook their heads and started picking up clothes. Great. I narrowed my eyes at them. Just perfect.
