I thought we would last forever. The band. Brendon and I. I guess things don't really turn out the way you want them to.
It was all going so well. We were gaining in popularity, and quickly too. People coming to our shows wearing our merchandise and singing the songs I had written. One great album became two. And then it all came crashing down around us. The band broke up, with Jon and I going our separate ways and Brendon and Spencer continuing the band.
Brendon and I stopped talking after a while. Things were rocky since he began sleeping with those groupies. Sure, I had groupies too, but I don't think it was just about image for him. 'There's more popularity if the girls think they can have you,' they said. And I don't even want to think about all the drugs.
I still think about him. A lot, actually. Our 'break-up', I suppose, still hurts me. We were never really official, just a silly little high school relationship. But it meant so much to me. God, I loved him. I love him...
