MASQUERADE - Bad Omens

Pizza Night - 2

"Let the moon teach you the art of being a beautiful and mysterious woman." - Alexandra Vasiliu

Every other weekend everyone would get together and have a pizza night that always turned into a sleep over. Echos house was the designated movie house but sometimes it was Noah's or Folios house. Most of the time it was hers though. Maybe because of the warm atmosphere she always had in her house. Even in her dark mind she had warm and comforting house. Maybe it was the lack there of she had as a child or maybe it's just what she liked since she designed her entire house based off her Pinterest board.

The house always smelled like vanilla and lavender, or some kind of baked good her friend Samantha was always bringing over. Everyone that's friends with echo knows food is the key to her cold and locked heart.

It was around 8:30pm when all of the guys got to the house. Bringing in pizza boxes and different kinds of drinks. They supplied the food and echo supplied her tv, cozy blankets, and living room.

Jolly and Noah would always move the coffee table out of in front of the couch so they could make a pallet on the floor with blankets and pillows for them to lay on during the movie while echo and folio would hog the couch.

Nick always took the recliner, every time they walked in the house Nick would yell "dibs" on the recliner, folio would belly flop on the "L" shaped couch taking up the longer side with echo on the other end and Noah and Jolly would just laugh and make the pallet on the floor.
The pallet always ended up being the most comfortable with the amount of blankets they used.

"So party people what are we watching tonight!" Folio asked as he stood in the kitchen making himself a drink. "It's echos time to decide on the genre" Jolly said as he helped echo get plates from the cabinet for the pizza. "Tell us echo what are we watching for pizza night!" Nick asked with excitement lacing his voice. "I was thinking a good horror movie, give us a good scare before bed cause that's always fun" Echo laughed as she flopped on her side of the couch and took a slice of pizza.

"You always pick horror movies! Why not something funny!" Noah groaned with a laugh as he fixed his pillows that were resting against the bottom of the couch. "Horror movies are funny, there so clique with the murder your just uncultured in horror movies" Echo laughed as she grabbed the remote from him. "Okay fine what about a funny horror movie like "the visit", it's either that or "the conjuring" you guys pick" she said as She clicked on the movie.

All of the guys agreed to watch "the visit" and got comfortable in their spots around the living room.
Passing around the pizza box and handing out white claws for the movie cause who doesn't want and buzz while watching a humorous horror movie.

Throughout the movie the guys kept arguing over the plot and trying to figure out what was actually going to happen. Each time they brought up something echo stayed quiet and laughed at each theory since she had already seen the movie. She had seen a lot of horror movies and always loved seeing how her friends reacted to them. Honestly she loved horror movies because they were based on fiction and her real life was an actual horror movie, but she never shared that.

Jolly chose the next funny scary movie and of course he chose to watch "Jennifer's body", echo had no room to judge because she loved that movie for more than just the plot too. Pretty much all of the guys did too. After the second movie ended it was only around 11pm. Everyone was beginning to get tired but no one wanted the night to end. Because this would be the last pizza night for a while since the guys were going on tour and leaving in two days.

Meaning once they got up the next day and everyone had breakfast together, the guys would leave to go pack and make sure they had everything for the tour while Echo stayed home and worked on her new designs for the bands merch and on her own for masquerade. It would be two months before another pizza night. Possibly longer because of the weather.

It was a bit odd they decided to do a winter tour but made since because more people would have time off because of the holidays. Echo was saddened because of the tour and knowing she wouldn't be able to see her friends for a while but she knew it would be okay.

Them being on tour meant she had time as just masquerade, and she was able to work on her songs and possibly a concert. She hated not being able to talk about all the things she wanted to with her friends but knew it was for the best. Especially for her mental health... or so she thought.

Noah was the first to notice that echo was lost in thought while the rest of the guys were arguing over who got the last white claw. He knew she wouldn't share her emotional feelings as easily as they wished she would but he could only try. So he leaned up from his spot and tapped her knee, nodding to walk out onto the porch and she nodded back, standing up grabbing her blanket and walking out. Noah followed behind her, after telling the guys they needed a minute.

"You seemed lost in thought in there, penny for your thoughts?" Noah asked at he sat on the swing next to echo. "I was just thinking about pizza night, how this one will be the last for a while" echo said as she held her knees to her chest with the blanket wrapped out her as Noah slowly pushed them both on the swing.

"You know things will be back to normal in no time, plus we have our FaceTime pizza nights" Noah said trying to ease her mind some. "You know it's not the same Noah" She said with a small laugh as she looked at the moon from her spot on the swing.

"Yeah they might get a bit crazy without you there to straighten us all out" Noah laughed. "Your going on tour, it's already gonna be crazy especially with all those fans fawning over you all" Echo said sarcastically with a laugh as she raised her eyebrows in a teasing manner. "Shut up" Noah laughed as he shook his head. "You know I'm right!" Echo laughed along with him.

You both kept laughing as y'all saw the rest of the guys walk out with confused looks on their faces. "What's going on, hm?" Folio asked with a smile as he leaned against the railing on the porch.
"All of your fan girls that are just waiting to see you all on tour" Echo laughed. "Makes sense, you okay echo?" Jolly asked as he sat on the bench that was beside the door. "She's just gonna miss us while we're gone" Noah sighed with a small laugh.

"Well of course she will, who else is going to keep her sane and not all dark and twisty" Folio smile. "Yeah she needs us, or else she's just gonna stay home the entire time and binge watch the walking dead and work!" Nick laughed. "That sounds quite pleasant actually, nice and quiet with my show and computer!" Echo laughed then yawned. "Folio picked the last movie of the night, it's finding Nemo, let's go end pizza night with a bang!" jolly said with a smile.

"Let's go guys" Echo said as she stood up from the swing and walked inside going back to her place on the couch and each of the guys following.
