Frank P.O.V
School sucks. I think I would have killed either myself or someone else if it wasn't for 'Lena. She was the only interesting thing that had happened in my whole high school career. And she was just a new girl. Sad really, don't you think? At least I had band practice at Gee's later. That was the only time I could really let go, when I had Pansy, my electric guitar in my hands. All of us channelled our feelings through the music. I was just thinking about how we really needed a drummer when I heard frantic knocking on my front door. I went downstairs to see my mum greeting a rather hyper looking Helena into the house.
"Frankie!" she yelled when she saw me.
"Hi 'Lena." I quickly introduced her to my mum before she squealed exitedly.
"Frankie! I was talking to Ray on the way home today and he said you needed a drummer for your band, right?"
"Umm, yeah. Calm down though, 'Lena, I can hardly hear what your saying, hun." My mum just watched on in awe as I tried to calm her down.
"Sorry! But, I think I found you a drummer!" Now it was my turn to watch her in awe.
"Your kidding me?"
"No!" she squealed, "His name's Bob Bryar, I was partenered with him for music today. He's an amazing drummer and a really nice guy!"
I looked at her in disbelief.
"Can I bring him tonight Frankie, please? He doesn't have any friends." she pleaded.
"Of couse!" I turned to my mum, "Can we borrow the car?" I asked her.
She sighed, "As long as your carefull."
"Great, " I said turning back to Helena, "You go get in the car, I'll just go grab a jacket."
I soon met her in the car and we sped off towards this Bob guys house.
Bob P.O.V
Eat, nap, gamecube, homework, nap, eat... that was my daily schedule when I got home from school. Boring, huh? Thats what you get for being one of the unpopular emo kids with no friends. I was about halfway through stage three, aka gamecube (Mario Kart to be exact) when the doorbell rang. It took me a cuople of minuites to realise that I should probably answer it befor I finlly made my way downstairs. Feeling like I was in some old spy movie, I hesitantly opened the front door. What if it was a rapist? Or a zombie? Or, even worse, a ninja hobo? But nope, it was just the pretty girl from music, Helena, and another one of teh kids bullied by Brett and his gang of jocks. Fred was his name? Or was it Hank?...
"Hi, I'm Frank." Yep, Frank. That was it.
"Bob? Hi, Umm, we were just wondering, you know because I heard you drumming today? Well, we wanted to know if maybe..." She was cut off by Frank.
"You wanna join my band? You know that guy, Gerard whose called vampire boy by Brett and his gang? Yeah? Well him and his brother Mikey, you know, the kinda geeky one and this other guy Ray and me, well, we have a band and we need a drummer."
I stared at them both in disbelief.
"Please Bob?" Helena asked.
"O-of c-course." I stuttered. They had just asked ME to be in a BAND! "I'd love to!"
The two on my doorstep did some random happy dance hug thing before telling me to get my drum sticks and get in the car, aparently there was a practice tonight. I agreed exitedly and ran up stairs. They'd just aked me to be in a freakin' band!
Gerard P.O.V
Frank beter have a pretty darn good excuse for being late. We, thats Mikey, Ray and I, had been waiting for half an hour now. Mikey was sat on one of the amps in our garage, Ray on the floor randomly strumming his guitar and I was pacing around the room.
"Gerard for god sakes, stand still!" Mikey began, "Your giving me a migrane. I'm sure Frank-"
"HONEY, I'M HOME!" Frankie's voice rang through the house. I rolled my eyes as he entered the garage but I got worried when I noticed the huge grin plastered on his face.
"What the hell did you do?" I asked him.
Frank looked smug, "Actually, I've not done anything. It was all Helena's idea."
"Helena?" I questioned. What could she have done? It was then she walked through the door, closely followed by a very scared looking blonde guy I'd seen a cuple of times around school.
"I, ummm found you a drummer?" She said, looking somewhat scared.
"A drummer?" My eyes widened in surprise.
"Yeah, thats if you still want one, I mean-" She stopped in surprise as I went up and hugged her rather tightly.
"!" I repeated, picking her up and spinning her around.
"I- your welcome Gee." She smiled up at me when I put her down.
A cough and chuckle from Mikey and I let her go, blushing. For a quick escape, I went over to Bob to teach him some simple baets so we could get on with practice.
I walked over to a grinning Mikey to try and get my heart rtae dopwn. Gee hugged me. And I've known him a day. Oh my god...
"Hey, 'Lena." Mikey looked at me knowingly.
"What?" I asked. I was just shocked because I hadn't known him very long, right? Yeah, that was it...
"Come on Mikes, leave 'Lena alone and get your lazy bassist's ass over her!" Ray yelled.
I shot Ray a thyankfull look and settled myself on an unused amp. Gerard had given Bob some music to follow so he cuold play with them and I watched as they all got set up. Mikey was readying his bass, Ray was wainting with his electric guitar, frank plugging his into a near by amp. That left Gerard to... sing? That surprised me. Then the guys started the intro to a song I didn't recognise, probably one they'd written themselves. They were really good, but nothing prepared me for when Gerard started to sing.
'And if they get me and the sun, goes down into the ground,
And if they get me take this spike to my heart, and,
And if they get me and the sun, goes down,
And if they get me take this spike, and,
You put the spike in my heart.'
His voice was beautiful. The band awesome playing teamed with Gerard's voice formed the perfect combination. That probably sounded really cheesey, but it's true. They were incredible.
Mikey P.O.V
We finished 'Vampires Will Never hurt You' and all immeadiately looked at Helena for her verdict. We found her staring open mouthed at Gerard. You couldn't blame her, he was an amazing singer.
"That bad, huh?" Gerard chuckled.
"You guys are amazing!" She exclaimed.
"Having a drumer really changed us that much?" Ray joked.
I had to admit, Bob was a great drummer. Helena and Frank had really exelled themselves with that one. We layed a few more songs before all just milling around and hanging out. I looked aroud at all my friends. Having Helana and Bob added to our group made it seem so much more complete.
"So, how long untill thosse two are together?" Ray asked me. He was looking at where Gerard and Helena were laughing about something. It must of been pretty funny stuff, as they were literally holding on to each other for support.
"I Think it's gonna be a while yet." I stated.
"No way, look at them! It's gonna be sometime soon." he argued.
"Nope. I'm telling you. Those two are gonna become really awesome friends, and then go into a massive stage of denial before they get together." We turned to see Bob and Frank stood behind us.
I just looked over at where my brother and friend were looking through Gee's sketchbook. There was something there, whether they knew it or not. I just wished I could have that with someone...
Awww, poor Mikey! Please review.
