Slowly fading (Peterick & Trohley)

Chapter 5

Andy's POV:

It hurts to say that. But it's true. Fall out Boy is just not working anymore. We just need a break. I noticed that Patricks mood became worse the last couple of months. He also got really thin, really fast. First he looked healthy but he kept becoming thinner and thinner. He tried to hide it but I could see. For some apparrant reason I could always read him like a book. I don't know what happened which made him this way. But he had less energy which explains why he overslept so much lately. Whenever we had bandmeetings I could see these dark circles under his eyes which probably meant he didn't sleep or lack of nutrition. He's so quiet lately which I'm not used from him. I tried to ask him once what was going on but he shut me out. He just told me he was tired. I don't believe him.

We eventually all left the studio. Patrick didnt show up so I texted him that he didnt need to come anymore. But I didnt got a reaction back. I just hope he's alright. He's like this little brother I never had. I just want him to be happy.

I sat next to Joe in his car and we drove to his house.

'Andy, hello, Andy' I heard Joe slightly yell which got my out of my daze.

'Oh I'm sorry, I was thinking'.

'About what love?'

'Love' I love it when he calls me that. Yeah we're a couple. Who could have guessed. We've always been very close and we've always liked eachother. But for some reason we were both scared to show our feelings for eachother. Till we had a Party at Pete's. Joe was hammered. Haha. And well I was not. Since I'm straight edge. I sat outside, looking at the stars while everyone was partying inside. Joe stumbled outside and fell besides me. Just as me he looked up at the stars. And that was when he spoke up and confessed his feelings and he kissed me. Even though he was drunk, I knew he meant it. Which he proved the next day. So thats how came to be. We've been together now for 5 months. Only Pete and Patrick now and our parents. One day will go public. One day but not now.

'Andy, what were you thinking about'

'Just that, did we make the right choice? To take a break?'

'Yeah I think so, we were fighting so much lately which isn't like us. We need to discover ourselfs too you know. We've been in this band since we were kids. We never took a break. We can relax and do the things we love. We can still make music love. Just not as Fall out Boy' Joe reasoned.

'Yeah you're right' and he kissed me.

'Keep your eyes on the road, Trohman' I chuckled as we parted.
