The sudden knock on my door woke me up. I leapt from my bed and ran downstairs. Swinging it open, revealing Mikey's enthusiastic grin. Gerard appeared from behind him copying his expression, my eyes widened at the realisation that I was still in my pyjamas. My cheeks flushed and my eyes drifted to my feet.

"What are you guys doing here so early?" I asked, trying to distract them from my outfit.

"I've already snapped a picture of you in your unicorn pyjamas, do you want one of your flying pigs as well?" Mikey chuckled and my cheeks brightened again, I sighed,

"Come on in", I muttered and moved aside from the door. Mikey smirked and Gerard smiled awkwardly while he shuffled into my house. I was about to say make yourself comfortable, but they had already collapsed on the sofa and turned the TV on.

"I'll just go and get ready" I mumbled, when I realised no one was listening. I wasn't entirely sure what to wear seeing as it wasn't a fancy do, neither was it a lazy walk to the supermarket to get comfort food. I pictured what Gerard and Mikey were wearing, (black jeans and t-shirt with a leather jacket on top), and decided normal casual clothes would be fine. I wore my black jean shorts and a grey sweater, with a beanie and some converses. I hopped down the stairs after putting on some mascara and eye liner with 5 minutes to go until half past 9. The boys were still relaxing, unaware that I was behind them. I quietly moved like a ninja until I was a few centimetres away from their heads. I stood up ready to make them jump but a hand grasped my waist and hoisted me over the top of the sofa. I screamed in surprise and Mikey and Gerard laughed hysterically. Then I was being tickled madly, Gerard holding me down so there was no escape. I struggled furiously as our laughs got louder and the tickling became more unbearable.

"Okay, Okay you can stop now!!", When there was no reaction, I yelled, "STOP!". The boys released me, still chuckling while I caught my breath.

"Never sneak up on the Ways!" Gerard grinned, and I raised an eyebrow. Mikey had stopped laughing and was giving me that weird look again. He stood up and offered me a hand. I gladly took it, brushing myself off and re-arranging my beanie. Gerard stood soon after and we made our way to the door.

It was only a short walk to Starbucks. We talked non stop the whole way there. It was mostly about the band before it had to stop. They were so enthusiastic about telling me all about the other members, the music they performed and the instruments they played. I listened intently and smiled when I saw their cheery faces.

We reached the café and Gerard opened the door for us. There was suddenly a loud cheer and 3 men all rampaged towards us. My eyes widened as Mikey and Gerard were nearly tackled to the ground. I chuckled as they all greeted eachother and struggled to get back on their feet. They continued to talk and I stood awkwardly by the counter.

"Millie! Come over here", Mikey shouted eagerly. "Guys, this is Millie, the girl I was telling you about. Millie this is Ray, Frank and Bob", there was a small murmur of greetings and friendly smiles plastered on their faces. I gave a slight wave and squeezed into the booth between Mikey and Gerard.

"So Millie, are you going to the college in town?", I think it was Ray who asked.

"Yep I'm starting tomorrow actually, with these two clowns.", they all chuckled as I pointed to Mikey and Gerard. "What about you guys?"

"We're going to the same college, our parents allowed us to move up here together for a bit so we can do more with the band. We all live together on the estate next to the mini bingo hut."

"We all know why you chose that particular estate" I winked, and the guys laughed.

"Yeah yeah, old ladies are really our type!", Frank said sarcastically. "So where do you live Millie?",

"On the next estate actually, I live next to Gerard and Mikey".

"You poor thing!" Bob patted my arm with a sad expression on his face. I heard him groan as I realised Mikey had kicked him under the table. We continued to chat for an hour, endless cups of coffee and 6 slices of cake. The guys mainly talked about how they were going to work. Me occasionally being brought into the conversation. They also played me some of their music. I sat quietly, slurping on my Caramel Latte. My phone buzzed, showing a text from Bronty, I ended up having a whole conversation with her about how nice all the guys were. She was desperate to meet them, and probably wanted to see Gerard again. I told her they lived near us and were also going to the same college. Her extensive use of exclamation marks after, told me she was excited.

Billie's other band members didn't live close enough to go to our college. Meaning he had to go quite far to meet them, but he could drive so he didn't mind. We finished in Starbucks and I was invited to Frank, Bob and Ray's house. We all were hyper as a result of the caffeine, and 5 guys when they're hyper is not great fun to be around. The amount of times I was thrown up in the air, and caught by someone else was endless. The loud squeals from Gerard as he tried to sing Celine Dion's classical music. It was as if they were all drunk. I was just wide awake and that was a good thing because in the café, I was almost falling asleep. We turned a corner and walked up the drive way to their new house.

"Welcome to the -"

"When I was, a young boy, my father, took me into the - "

"No Mikey, it is not called the black parade house.", Bob chuckled, shaking his head.

"Well I think that sounds pretty cool.", I mumbled.

"So do I, that was a very successful song of ours and we should name it after it", Ray said and the rest of the guys nodded.

"So guys, welcome to The Black Parade house!"

Hey it's an authors noteeeeeee!

Yeah the name for the house was probably quite cringey but I couldn't think of one, so there it is.

Also I'm sorry its taken so long to update, but I am back at school now and will probably struggle to update everyday. THEREFORE, I am updating every Friday and maybe some other random day if I don't get much homework ;)
