My Vermilion

Chapter 10

*Corey's POV*

Today were going to talk about the next album. Without a doubt, this will be difficult. There's no denying that. Without Paul and Joey things are going to be drifferent, and just for that were recording in Des Moines. For now. We're talking about possible album names.

"Alright guys, we need to prove we can do this without Paul and Joey," I told the guys. "Any ideas for names, songs or album?"

"All hope is gone," Shawn chimed in. "I saw an abandoned school with the those words on it. I never understood it, until we lost Paul." It stayed silent for a minute while everyone was thinking.

"Yes," is all Craig said. The rest of the guys agreed and it was settled. The album will be called All Hope Is Gone.

"Oh! I have to show you guys something. Stay here," Sid said, running to his room to grab something. He came back down with a robotic looking mask on. "What do you think?" The eyebrows on my mask moved up and down and the eyes glowed red.

"That pretty great Sid," I said and smiled at him. He's always full of energy and it's overwhelming. He's like a little kid. "We have some stuff demo and the plan is to go into the studio Friday. You have 2 day to relax and then it's back to work. Got it?" Everyone nodded and went their separate ways. The meeting was way shorter than I thought it would be.

*2 months later*

Today we're wrapping up in the studio. The album is set to release on August 28. Jenna's birthday. I plan to ask her out on her birthday. We've been friends for awhile so I thinks it's about time to ask her. I know she likes me and I like her too. The last 2 months were normal. It was a little weird not working with Paul and Joey but we did it and made a pretty good record. Jenna and I shared a bed here and there when she couldn't sleep. I understand that it's hard to drop everything to live with 9 guys in a house 3 times the one you live in. She's getting used to it and not sleeping in my bed much anymore and I'll admit, I miss he company. I hope when I ask her out that she'll accept and we can share a bed once more. Next tour I'm thinking of finding a bus with a bed in the back she we can share it, instead of sleeping in separate bunks.
