Ch. 7
Patrick *POV*
My eyes slowly opened to the sound of Joe's snoring. A small amount of light was leaking in through the closed curtains. I lifted my head and grabbed for my glasses. I swung my feet over the side of the bed and rubbed my still heavy eyes. I sat there on the edge of my bed watching Joe sleep. He was sprawled all over the bed, his blanket twisted with his body. He was an ugly sleeper, his mouth was wide open and he was drooling. I feel bad for the wife that has to sleep with this monster.
Closing the door behind me I walked into the living room. I walked past Andy and Pete's room and heard someone talking, so I stopped and put my ear to the door. As I leaned against the door it moved and feel forward, it was open. When I hit the ground with a thud Andy shot around, he was talking on the phone. "Alright, see you at eleven. Alright, bye."
"Who was that?"
He got off the bed and helped me up, "That was an old friend of mine. Turns out she's in town and she wants to meet up. Her name's Sarah," he said getting up and pulling his pants on.
I smiled, "Oooo is she a special lady friend?" I asked wiggling my eyebrows up and down.
He scoffed, "No.. shut up. We knew each other when we were kids," he was blushing, what a filthy liar.
"Yeah okay. So when you getting married?" I asked with a smirk.
He returned with a sarcastic laugh, "I should be asking the same thing about you and Courtney. I saw you two sleeping on the couch last night when I dragged Pete and Joe through the door."
"Well relax, nothing happened. You remember that douche Gerard? He stalked her here and showed up last night, then romantically ran away through the rain with her," I said rolling my eyes. I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall. I noticed Pete wasn't in his bed, "Where'd Pete go?"
Andy pulled his shirt over his head and spun around, "Huh, I don't know. So Gerard's back huh? That dude gave me the chills."
"Yeah, so what's the plan for today?"
"We desperately need to go grocery shopping, before Courtney blows our heads off. So you guys can go shopping while I'm out with Sarah," he said passing me by.
"What? So you don't have to do anything because you have a little date?" I said following him to the livingroom. I expected to see Courtney still on the couch, but she was gone too.
"Well, yeah. Just take Courtney with you and you can have your own date," he said smiling at his little joke.
I glared at him, "I'm taking a shower," I mummbled.
Courtney *POV*
"Well where have you two been?" Andy asked from the couch.
"We went on a mystical journey, through rugged wastelands in search of Pete's long lost fashion sense," I said waving my hands in the air smiling and sitting down with him.
"Haha, very funny. Let me remind you I'm the one who's not single, princess," he said pulling off his scarf.
"Let me remind YOU, I'm not single anymore. I have Gerard," I said with a smile.
Andy and Pete shared a looked, "Of course you do. You two make an adorably-creepy couple," Pete said disapparing into the hall. "GAHHHHHH!"
Me and Andy shot up, "What?! What happened?"
Pete ran back out with his hands covering his eyes, "I'm blind! I'm blind!"
Then Patrick walked out wearing only a towel around his waist, "Shup up! Why didn't you knock!" he yelled, his face was beet red. I couldn't help but giggle at how embarassed he was.
"Aww did someone walk in on Pattycakes?" I said making a pouty face.
"Why couldn't I have walked in on you!" Pete screamed as he ran past me.
"H-hey!" I started to blush. "Gross. Not in a million years Pete!"
Andy just laughed at the scene unfolding in front of him. "I think we should have gotten a bigger apartment."
"We couldn't afford one though. Maybe I shouldn't have come with you guys," I said softly.
"What?! No, you're crazy," Pete stopped, "You're our muse, our inspiration! There would be no Fall Out Boy without you," Pete said smiling.
"Yeah, pretty much every song Patrick's written is about you. And those are the best one's we got," Andy said casually.
"N-not every one..." Patrick said, blushing even harder.
"Don't worry Patrick, I think they're adorable," I said putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Adorable?" he asked, his eyes looked a little cloudy.
"Well, yeah. What did you want me to say they were sexy and made me go wild!" I said with enthusiasim.
Patrick laughed, "Yes, that was pretty much the whole point. To get into that skirt," he said sarcastically.
Out of no where a pillow hit Patrick on the side of the head. "Hey, hurry up. We need to go to the store. Put some pants on!" Pete yelled from the couch.
"I thought Andy was going?" I asked.
"He's got other plans now. He's too cool to hang out with us now," he said pouting.
Andy cut in, "I'm meeting a friend of mine."
"He's got a date," Patrick said plainly, then walked into his room.
I gasped, "OMG Andy's got a girlfriend! What's her name! Have I met her? Does she like Star Wars?! What's her birth sign?" I asked excitedly, hopping over the couch and landing right next to him.
He sighed, "It's not a date, it's a... get together. It's just an old friend of mine, she's in town and we are gonna meet up for lunch."
"You hesitated! That means it's a date! Pete get the camera! Our little boy's all grown up!"
"Whatever, I have to go meet Sarah," he said getting up, looking annoyed.
"Awww her name is Sarah! Sarandy? Andah? I'll figure it our later," I said happily.
Andy let out a groan, grabbed his jacket, and walked out the door. Pete and I played a little mario kart as Joe finally got up and walked into the room. As he sat down next to me my phone started vibrating in my pocket. "I'm happy to see you too Courtney," Joe said yawning.
I made a face at Joe and answered the phone, "Hey Gerard, what's up?" I saw that Pete made a face when he heard me.
"It's not Gee, it's Mikey. I stole Gerard's phone so I could talk to you," I could hear a smile in his voice.
"Aww really Mikes! You're too cute. Wait, you're in Chicago too?" I said giggling.
"Well, yeah. What did you think Gerard came all by himself to just to see you?" when he said that my heart sank a little bit, "The whole band is here, we're here for awhile, on band business."
"Oh..." I said softly.
"What? Aren't you happy we're here?"
"Oh yeah, of course! I just- oh never mind."
"Alright, so Frankie wants to know if you wanna come over to our little condo and watch us practice?"
I glanced over at Pete who had paused his game and was listening as best he could to my conversation. "Uhh, yeah sure! Sounds great."
"Great! Make sure you wear something cute," he said in a dorky voice.
"Haha alright, see ya Mikey," and with that I hung up.
"What was that all about?" Joe asked, like he did know.
Pete frustratedly pressed play on his controller, "She's going out with the Adam's family," Pete mummbled under his breath.
"They are not the Adam's family! Just because Gerard dresses a little differently doesn't make him a freak. I thought you of all people would have understood that," I said crossing my arms.
"Now you're insulting me? I'm just protecting my little sister."
"From what?!"
"Vampires," Joe butt in.
"When did you guys become so judgemental? God, tell Patrick I can't go with shopping with him," I said getting up annoyed.
"Uhh, I don't wanna be the one to break the little guy's heart," Joe said with his eyes fixated on his twaddling thumbs.
"Don't be such a drama queen, just tell him I went out with friends. I know he doesn't like Gee but he's cool. Last night we talked and we came to an understanding."
"He's Gee now? Oh god," Pete said, s!till focused on the TV.
"Just, please, alright," I begged.
"Fine, just get outta here before I change my mind," Pete said shooing me out the door.
