20 years ago
"so your telling me now your leaving me for LA like tomorrow and what am I supposed to do now wait for you to get back here" yelled Angela as she looks out Jordan's car window.
"Ange, what do you want me to do give up this opportunity for a record deal and just stay here and have some loser job that I don't want" said Jordan "so then what now? are you coming back Jordan" said Angela glaring at Jordan. Jordan looks away at the rain as it is falling on the windshield "no, if we get the record deal we are staying out there" said Jordan "that's just great you figured all this out without even telling me anything " said Angela.
"I am telling you now" said Jordan irritatingly "yeah now when your leaving tomorrow" said Angela crying "what do you want me to say we didn't expect this shit to happen it just did, okay and you're expecting me to turn down a record deal with my band " yelled Jordan "whatever obliviously this isn't going to work for us, I should've just never gotten back with you, I knew you would just do something to fuck everything up" said Angela madly, "yeah I guess I just fuck it all up right because I want something with my life other than just you" said Jordan regretting saying it right after he did "you don't want me Jordan, you're leaving to play famous rock band so whatever this conversation is over and we are done have a nice life in LA" said Angela and gets out of the car.
ANGELA V/O
He left me for LA and we never spoke again after that fight in the car. I am a single mom now. It's me and my fifteen year old son Justin in a 3 bedroom house. I still live in Three Rivers I am a writer I've put out several novels, my most popular series being my most recent teen series called My-So Called Life.
Rayanne and Rickie live down the street from us, Rayanne is a single mom too her son Trey Graff is the same age as Justin and they are best friends they grew up together she got pregnant around the same time as me meaning our sons birthdays are only a few weeks apart Trey's father passed away in a motorcycle accident, before Trey was born it was really hard on Rayanne and that's when Rickie moved in with her to help her with Trey and was planning to eventually move out as Trey got a little older but never did.
CHAPTER ONE
PAST AND PRESENT COLLIDE
"mom! You wont believe this!," said Justin excitedly as Rayanne and Rickie walk in as Justin is pacing excitedly "whats all the excitement J" said Rayanne as she stands in the door way of Angela's kitchen "I just won tickets to see Frozen Embryos live tonight! So last minute and all but me and Trey were sitting there in his garage and they announced they were giving a way tickets for tonight's show on the radio and we were totally bummed about not seeing them while they are here so we called to see if we could win and we did! ma can I please please go all of my friends got tickets but me and Trey. We have the best seats in the house !" said Justin excitedly.
"Please can I go" said Justin again "Ange let him go, Trey can go too" said Rayanne with a reassuring smile "alright fine but no funny business like last time with trying to sneak backstage" said Angela pointing at him "yes and tell Trey the same thing" said Rayanne with a smirk "okay thanks mom, I'm gonna head back to Trey's again we are having band practice first" said Justin leaving the kitchen, "I'll pick you guys up at 7 for the concert okay J" said Rickie "yup bye" said Justin as he closes the door.
Angela lets another sigh out "I can't believe he is like here in town I hope this is not for long just this concert and then they are gone" said Angela "Angelica you're not going to run into him, Catalano is probably staying somewhere in the city "said Rayanne "true, well I am going to my office to write" said Angela with another sigh "yeah of course you are Jordan Catalano is in town well I gotta go anyway work flow hopefully our children aren't too loud in my garage practicing because I don't really want to listen to my neighbors complain tonight when I get home" said Rayanne as she leaves with Rickie not far behind her.
JORDAN POV
I can't believe I am in Pittsburg on this tour I mean I'm not in my hometown but it's still like depressing and too close to Angela too tempting to look her up but by now she is probably married and shit. My life sucks, yeah I have everything multiplatinum albums, a lot of money more than I need and a nice big house in LA that I actually share with my band mates because what's the sense in that big house by myself right but we are barely in it a lot of the time because of tours and stuff but most people would say I have everything but to me it's nothing because I don't have Angela.
Would I say I regret leaving honestly I don't know, I mean all this success is great but not having her to share it with well that basically blows. The guys are like family to me but I spend a lot of time alone because they like partying after shows, they love this life I mean I love it to an extent. I did all the partying and all that when we first got big but it's gotten old. Now I just sit alone a lot in the hotel we just finished a meet and greet and later tonight is our show so I am trying to take a nap but it's like impossible because I am here and all I am thinking about is Red whatever guess I'll play around on the guitar being the fact that sleep isn't going to happen.
Jordan sits up on the couch and grabs the guitar and starts to play and work on the song he has been writing.
Livin' my life in a slow hell
Different girl every night at the hotel
I ain't seen the sun shine in 3 damn days
Been fuelin' up on heartache and whisky
Wish I had a good girl to miss me
Lord I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
I put your picture away
Sat down and cried today
I can't look at you while I'm lyin' next to her
I put your picture away, sat down and cried today
I can't look at you, while I'm lyin next to her
"O boy depressed already man" said Shane coming into the hotel suite and sitting next to him "guess so just thinking about shit" said Jordan "you mean thinking about Red" said Shane with a grin "yeah kinda I mean we are here. I feel close to her or some shit being here is fucking with me. I can't believe we are here for like 2 weeks break after the show tonight I think I might fly back to LA you guys could stay here and see your families" said Jordan "why? come see my mom with me she is like your mom too man and Brendan doesn't really have anyone here but his parents I mean he moved here in our senior year man he doesn't know many people keep him company too" said Shane "yeah because I'm great company" said Jordan with a laugh as he aimlessly plays his guitar "are you serious dude stop playing RED we play it every night" said Shane getting up " I'm gonna go lay down try and take a nap " said Shane as he walks away "see ya " said Jordan as he continues to play Red.
