Can We Escape From This Afterlife? (Synyster Gates fanfic)

2. A little piece of brownies?

When I got off work I headed straight home. I pulled out my laptop on the couch and looked up the tickets and how much they were. Yeah, Taylor's a roadie and gets discounts on tickets, passes and shit, but I still wanted to look. By the time the webstie had loaded I heard a car pull up in the drive way.

Brook was home and it was her dark maroon Jeep. She came in through the garage door and the first thing she called was my name.

"Makayla?? You home?" She yelled.

"Living room! & Get you're ass in here." I yelled back.

She plopped herself on the recliner. "Sup?" She was drinking a slurpee.  

"This is what's up!!!" I handed her my laptop and waited for her to process what was on the screen.

"Sweet! Oh and Tay's coming home too, so we'll get a discount! SWEEET." She exclaimed. She was excited, but no idea how much more excited I was. 

" I KNOW. IT'S FUCKING AWESOME!" I shouted. I then texted Tay.

"Hey, I'll pick you up from the airport tomorrow. You left your car home again btw. I have tomorrow off too." I texted.

"Sounds good. The bus is driving to the airport now, we'll spend the night on it then I get on the plane tomorrow." 

"Kay,"

After that Brook turned the t.v on to Grey's Anatome. I haven't seen this show in forever!

"So anything interesting happen at work today?" I asked Brook, starting a conversation.

"Nothing special. A kid fell of his bike, broke his arm. This guy almost died, and thankfully no blood!"   She answered. She normally doesn't like blood, but she was a great nurse. Well, she's a trainee nurse. 

"That's good." I replied.

"What about you?" She asked me. 

"Eh, nothing too exciting. We got new ferets and more dog beds I had to stock. Only like 6 customers though. It was mostly a groomers day." I answered. Working at a pet store was pretty cool though. I got to be around animals all day. I fed snakes, spiders, turtles and rodents. It was cool in my opinion. The only thing I don't care for doing is being a cashier. I don't necessarily like dealing with people. But I'll gladly help someone choose a pet. :) 

----------------------------------------

After about 2 hours of t.v. I decided to get some sleep. Brook decided she'd make some brownies then go to bed.

"Why brownies?" I asked before I headed up stairs.

"For Taylor's home-coming! And, I'm bored and craving brownies." She sounded like a mom who hasn't seen her child in ages. 

"Haha, okay. Night!" I called down the stairs as I approached my room on the right. 

I layed there on my bed in my pajamas. What to do, what to do tomorrow. It was mid June. My birthday was next month and I had no idea what to do. Taylor said she'd try to get me and Brook to the Warped Tour date on my birthday so I could meet this new band she discovered called Man Overboard. She sent me and Brook 2 of their albums and a poster so we could put it on her bed so she could put it up later. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty excited to see her again. I'm glad she's happy, being a roadie and all. She always talked about it when we were teenagers, now look at her! I remember one of the first bands she was a roadie for was Of Mice&Men. She dragged me along with her for the first 3 nights of that tour! I could barely last 2 days on that bus! I couldn't understand how she could last 4 whole weeks and even more tours after that.

Well, whatever. I'm happy with where I am. And I know Brook is too. She loves being a nurse. She was so happy that Orange County public hospital let her be a trainee there. She's close to home and lives with us. Not to mention she finally has a boyfriend too! Her boyfriend is this guy named Mick. They've been dating now, I think 5 or 4 months. I don't know. I just know she's finally happy. 

I, on the other hand, am in the middle. I' hoping that's gonna change soon though. I know it will. With Tay coming home tomorrow, and knowing her we'll go that concert and I have a pretty happy feeling about that. I finally fell asleep just laying there thinking. I hoped my life made a big change soon. Soon...
