I wake up to my phone going off next to me and i answer it, not even looking at the caller ID.
"Hello?" I answered sounding groggy.
"Charlie! Where the hell are you! We have a band meeting that started an hour ago. Melvin is getting pissed." Alice screamed in my ear. I had to pull the phone away from my ear to not damage my ear drums. I looked at the time and sure enough i was late.
"Shit! I'll be there soon. Tell Melvin to hold his horses." Melvin was our manager. I hung up the phone and looked next to me and see a sleeping Chris. Thoughts of last night pop up in my mind making me smile. I slowly slipped out of bed careful not to wake up Chris. once i successfully got up out of bed, i got dressed and dashed out the door. I usually never miss a meeting. Im always the first person there, but today i wanted to sleep in.
Once i arrived at the studio i hopped out the car and ran in the building to our studio. Melvin looked pissed and gave me a stank eye as i sat down. I like Melvin. He can be a good manager sometimes, but other times he seems like an angry old grandpa.
"Now that your all here. I would like to announce that you guys will be playing a festival this weekend. They have a bunch of big name artist playing as well and i signed you up." A festival? Didnt we just get off tour?
"Whos the main headliners?" Nathan asks. That is a good question. When we played warped tour two years ago, there wasnt many big names there. Mostly new up coming bands.
"Well lets see." Melvin looked down at at shit flyer and looked through it. You can tell he knew who was going to be there already and he was stalling. "Well your pals Motionless In White are going to be there. We got Sleeping With Sirens, Peirce The Veil, Falling In Reverse and Black Veil Brides." He blurted out the last band and my heart sank. Im cool with all those bands, but Black Veil Brides?
"Why did you put us on the same festival as them?! You know Charlie's problem with them." Alice blew up in Melvin's face. She stood up for me knowing what happened last with Andy.
"Well im sorry. You are going to have to suck it up because this band needs this and the fans want you there." Melvin walked over to his big calendar on the wall and marked when the festival is. Im going to have to sit through an entire three day festival knowing Andy is running around. What if he finds out where i live?
"Are they playing the same day as us?" Anthony asked. Im glad i have my band mates to stick up for me.
"Yes. You go before Motionless In White who are before Black Veil Brides on the main stage." Melvin didnt even look up from his calendar.
"Is there a way to change the day?" Alice spoke up, trying to come up with a way to not see them at all. Before Melvin could speak, i spoke up.
"Guys! Its fine. I'll do it." Everyone looked at me shocked. I appreciate that they tried to save me but i have to face Andy at some point. Im going to try my best to avoid him at the festival though, to make sure i dont see him.
"Are you ok? You actually want to see that loser?" Nathan said sounding very concerned and disgusted. I nodded my head.
"No i dont. But i have to face him at some point. Besides. Why am i even hiding from him in the first place? Cause i love him and i embarrassed my self? It wasnt his fault i left. Hes still my best friend and i think we can still be friends." It felt good to get that all off my chest and i actually meant it. I do believe i can be friends with Andy. I may not be able to be with him but after all hes still my best friend. What have i been hiding for, for these past seven years?
"Alright. If shes in, im in." Nathan said, finally agreeing on the festival along with the others.
"Good. Its in two days so we need to practice. Go get in that studio and practice." Melvin ordered. He can be very bossy sometimes but we get the work done. Right as i was walking into the studio, my phone started to ring.
"No phones during practice Ms Broho." Melvin said. I look at the caller ID and saw Chris. Melvin held out his hand for me to hand him my phone.
"Im sorry. I really need to take this." I stepped away from the studio, earning a glare from everyone in the room and i stepped in the hallway to answer the phone.
"Hello?" I answered. He probably woke up wondering where i am.
"Charlie. Where are you? I woke up and you were gone. Are you mad at me?" I was right. Its sweet of Chris to check in though.
"No im not mad at you. I was late to a band meeting. Im assuming you know about the festival in two days?" He had to know.
"Yeah. I know hes going to be there. But youll be with me and the boys. I'll protect you." That was sweet of him but how come he didnt tell me about Andy being there?
"Thanks Chris." Melvin came out and yelled at me to hurry it up.
"Come back home. I have something to tell you." He begged me to come back.
"I cant Chris. I have to practice. Melvins being an ass today." He sighed. He knows not to get on Melvins bad side.
"Alright. I'll see you when you're done." We said our goodbyes and i went back into the studio and we got straight into practicing. I want this festival to be the best we ever performed. To show off to my old band and manager.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After practice i was extremely tired. I just wanted to go home and sleep. I said goodbye to my band mates and headed home. The car ride home felt like 10 hours when really it was only 30 minutes.
Once i walked in the door i smelt food. How the hell was Chris still here? I walked into the kitchen to see Chris making spaghetti.
"Wow. It smells amazing." I said, scaring Chris so bad, that he almost punched me in the face. Once he realized it was me he laughed.
"You scared the shit out of me." He gave me a plate of spaghetti and i took it to the small dining room table to eat it. Chris Joined me shortly after i sat down. We began to eat and let me tell you, it was the best damn spaghetti ive ever had. Like way better than Amy's. I ate the whole plate in under 5 minutes.
"So what did you want to tell me?" I asked Chris, suddenly remembering he wanted to tell me something. He finished chewing and swallowing before wiping his mouth to talk.
"It was more of something to ask." I nodded my head. "I uh....." He scratched the back of his head and fiddled in his seat. He was nervous. "I wanted to know..... If you wanted to be my girl friend?" He looked at me and smiled, hoping i say yes. I didnt know what to say. I just went with what my gut was saying.
"Yes. Id love too." I liked Chris. I would like to see where this goes.
