‘don’t get yourself arrested and… Don’t forget I love you’ ‘I love you too rach, I’ll try not to’ ‘bye’ ‘bye rach’ as I hung up the phone I felt even sadder, I hated leaving her. I felt so guilty. She was staying with some ancient uncle who lived in sydney, purely because I couldn’t leave her with my family. It’d be far to awkward. Especially Andy.
After being on tour I liked eating actual food, stuff that was decent. But here I was, sitting in an RSL club with jumpnow eating chips and waiting until it was late enough to put our new plan into action. Belinda hadn’t taken our initiative to get ims well, as a result kicked us off the property.
But after hearing the voicemail and not even getting to see her I wasn’t leaving. After so many years of being the sensible guy, creeping around and not getting in trouble I was deffinately ready to take a risk. I regretted letting her go, jumpnow had told me about the cut on her arm, I knew it was our fault even if it unavoidable.
We sat around until after 12, when they closed up, I was driving us back so I’d was ready to leave the atmosphere of the club. A night of hardcore softdrink drinking I was used to, but at the moment I was to restless.

I so much preferred being asleep, Belinda couldn’t hurt me in my dreams. I could be with the ones I actually cared about.
But peaceful sleep never lasted. Just after half past 12 I was woken by a tap on the window, followed by another and another. I opened it to see jumpnow smiling stupidly and holding rocks. He gestured at his phone and I checked mine.
It said to open the door. Quietly. Within 30 seconds I was in his arms again, he smelt like vodka again. Which wasn’t my favourite taste to kiss. I’d never been properly kidnapped before but there’s a first time for everything and just 5 minutes later we were upstairs stuffing my suitcase.
Then we were shutting the back door behind us. It was such a blur, it felt like a minutes ago I easing bed dreaming and I started to wonder weather I was still dreaming. It only started to sink in that I was really leaving this behind when we got to the end of the street and Bradie pulled up and let us in the car. By the time we were about 10 kilometres away I could finally relax and stop looking back, and let go. jumpnow was half asleep by then, I guess he had a fair bit to drink before coming and resucing me. Then I remembered how he got my attention, I poked his leg ‘please tell me I was imagining you throwing rocks at my window. That’s like classic romeo and Juliet shit there’ he cringed and pulled a face ‘sadly yes, I was actually, can’t we call it romantic instead of classic?’ I missed this, the stupid things he said and faces he pulled simply made me smile no matter what.
