Just a Shadow in the Night (Mikey Way / OC)

Chapter 22

  We packed up as much as we needed into the boys old trailer that they used on tour. They painted over it with black, so that nobody would suspect anything. It was better, price wise to fit us all into one car and since Bob wasn't coming along, that was the plan.

The boys explained that we couldn't bring Tula along because she would add to the stress, and I doubted that she enjoyed travelling. So, a man named Brian picked her up and explained to me that she was going to his home with no other animals and a loving family. He added that if we ever came back, that I could see her anytime I wanted to.

It's been three hours since we left, and I had no idea where we were going.

Gerard was driving, and by the look on his face, he didn't really know where we were going either. Mikey knew where to go; he was in the passenger seat, telling Gerard where to drive.

I was in between Ray and Frank. Ray was showing me some of the music he liked with his iPod, and Frank ended up falling asleep. I swore I could hear faint snoring.

I took out the earphone in my ear, and I turned to face Ray.

"Mikey told me about the band" I told him quietly

"Our band?" He asked surprisingly

"Yeah... What were you guys called?"

"My Chemical Romance... My Chem or MCR for short. Mikey came up with the name."
My face lit up, and a smile spread across my face.

"How many albums did you have out?"

"We have three out, we were gonna make the third but we decided to call it quits." He answered sadly

"Why?" I asked after a short pause

"Pete's band, Fall Out Boy. I'm sure Mikey's explained that story-" He looked as if he was thinking.

"- Bob is also a problem now, I guess" He sighed with a sad chuckle

"Did you enjoy it all? The fame, the fans, the music?"

"Oh, I loved it. I can safely say we all did. The roar of the crowds, the thousands of people singing along to our songs, the support from millions of fans. It was everything I could've asked for." He was smiling now, and so was I.
