Light On (Alan Longmuir Fanfiction)

Chapter 28

- April 30th 1975 -

Y/N's POV

As time goes by my job got more and more boring but that was okay. I made it work since it was what I got my degree for however I was thinking of switching places I was working for. I just wanted to be more comfortable in the things I was doing and as the boys were moving forward in the music scene I wanted to be happier to be with them.

"What are you thinking about my love?" Alan asked as he looked at me.

"I mean after I got back from work I realized I am not as happy as I once was," I said as I looked at Alan.

"You are not happy at your job?" Eric piped in.

"No, I am not and I am thinking of finding another place to work at. I have been working at the same place for quite some time now and it is sucking the best of me out of me," I said.

"Well I guess that is one way to put it," Les said.

"Will you let her manz speak to her?" Derek asked with a chuckle.

"Whatever is going to make you comfortable my love," Alan said as he sat down next to me.

"I don't know. I just want to be happy you know? I am happy in every other part of my life but my work life is just like eating at me," I said.

"And it is okay to change the thing you are doing with your life. I mean for me it took a bit of time but I eventually got out of the job I was in. It is not like I did not like it but the whole thing was it was not the only thing I wanted to do," Alan said.

"And changing jobs is normal in life. You are still so young and it is going to be okay to change jobs while you are young," Derek said.

"I like how you are acting like you are old," Woody said with a chuckle.

"I am not but you get the whole point," Derek said with a chuckle.

"I have no idea what I would do without you guys to be honest. I mean I know I sound like I am coming off spoiled like "oh I want to change jobs," I said.

"You are not acting spoiled but it is normal to be talking about these kinds of things," Derek said.

"And I don't know who would be better to talk about these things with then you guys," I said.

"I mean you could talk to your parents but I know they are like never around and stuff. Or so I heard?" Eric commented.

"Yeah, they are busy with their lives and it is kind of hard to even see them. It has kind of gotten worse as time has gone on but I am not too sure why," I said.

"Are they really busy or do they just not make any time for you?" Les asked.

"I think it could be a mix of both but it is not something I choose to think about often. I see them every now and then which is enough for me to be happy with," I said.

"Makes sense. I see my family quite often but not like I did when I was younger. I think it is just something that changes with time," Woody said.

"Of course. I feel like time changes how close we are to our family and it is kind of hard sometimes to think about it but you know," Les said.

"It is just how time changes us and we have to change with it to match the kind of things we are dealing with in life," Alan said.

"I am glad I am still close kind of to my folks. I am scared one of these days I won't be so much but I do know the day is going to show up and I am going to be like woah," Eric said.

"It might but it is going to be okay. You will always have us near so it is not like anyone here is going to be alone," Les said.

"That is one thing I love so much is how close we all are. It is something that is not going to break and we are always going to have so much love for one another," I said.

"I still love how we have made a good amount of memories together already. I just wish Y/N would be able to do more things with us you know," Derek said.

"Maybe you should find a job that lets you do more things on the road rather than so much in the office?" Alan asked.

"That is what I want to do you know? Maybe I should switch to photography but I do not think my degree qualifies for that since I have a degree in English," I said.

"Mmm, I do not think it would be the same thing. I think it is kind of crazy how we change the way we think and what we want as time goes on," Alan said.

"We grow up and life changes us in that way," I said as I laid my head in Alan's lap.

Alan played with my hair and kissed my head.

"I need to find someone like that," Derek said.

"You will one day," Alan said.

"I hope so and it is going to be a nice and lovely day," Derek said with a chuckle.

"How come you and Y/N never got together Derek?" Eric asked as he looked at Derek.

"Because me and her became like brother and sister and never anything else. We knew from the start that nothing would ever be between us so like yes," Derek said.

"Oh, okay that makes sense. I guess it is a good thing because Alan and Y/N have never seemed so happy," Eric said.

"I like how you say that as if you have known them for a long long time," Les said.

"Well I have for quite some time but nah I get what you mean," Eric said.

"I think it is interesting how time shows us the people we need in life," Woody said.

"Do you just randomly pipe in being poetic or something?" Les asked.

"Yes, yes I do," Woody said.

We all chuckled.
