The Third Way

2006 - Age 23

The last few years my life have been very hectic but amazing. The whole sleeping with Ray incident I managed to get over with, took me a few months but I managed it. Luckily that didn't ruin the boy's friendship either. 

Me and Cindy was out one evening 2 years ago and I met my now current boyfriend Tyler who is amazing may I add and he's a soldier so yeah our relationship is tough on times but we always manage to make it work. I'm also the drummer for States Mojo too which is great and we're due to go on our first tour next month. 

"Evelyn get out of bed we're going to be late, again" 

"Evelyn....Evelyn.....EVELYN.....EVELYN.."

Splash

"What the hell? Dude I was asleep" 

"Well, now you're awake" He smirks 

"Now I'm wet"

"Cheeky" He winks 

"Ugh you're so immature"

"It was a glass of water, now get ready we gotta go"

"Fine"

I get dressed and look for my suitcase but see it's already been taken downstairs so I go downstairs, frowning when I see Tyler's stuff. We're going to see MCR's first show since the release of their new album; The Black Parade. Then Tyler is off for 7 whole months which is going to be hard. 

"I'm not going yet" Tyler speaks as he hugs me from behind 

"I know, but it's still gonna be hard"

"I know but just like the last 2 times it will go quickly I promise. Now come on, we got to go"

I nod ok and help him load the car then we finally set off, collecting Cindy and her Boyfriend Jake on the way. We reach the venue and go straight to their dressing room where we find only my brothers in there getting ready.

"Where's everyone else?" I ask as I hug Mikey

"waiting to go on stage I think" Gee replies then hugs me

"Well you guys look great. I'm proud of you" I smile

"Thanks shortie" Mikey smiles

"I'm only shorter than you by a few inches"

"Still short"

I poke my tongue out at him then we make our way side stage where the band is about to go on. Of course they kill it with every song they perform except Helena. This is the one song by them I struggle to like, it's a great song but it makes me remember our Grandmother who meant the world to me. She actually helped me get over the whole sleeping with Ray situation, I couldn't go to Mom about it cause she would've ripped my head off and grounded me for life so I went to Gran instead and she was as always amazing with helping. I miss her.

"So long and Goodnight" I quietly sing along

"You ok?" Tyler asks

"Yeah, I'm fine"

He wipes my tears away and kisses my head, when the guys come off stage Gee immedietly comes over and hugs me.

"You're all sweaty" I giggle

"Ah well, You know she's up there proud of you"

"I know" I smile pulling away.

"Pizza party?" Cindy asks

"Hell yeah" Frank cheers

We go to the hotel where the guys are staying in tonight before they go to the next venue, about 40 mins later the food arrives, all 12 pizzas. Frank went a little overboard with ordering the pizza there. A lot of pizza and a fair amount of vodka and coke later it's safe to say tonight was a good night and thank god I'm not driving home tonight cause we all know that won't end well. This is where my life really begins, no brothers to help me as they're on tour and my boyfriend away for work. Of course there's Cindy but she's with Jake the majority of the time but in a way there was always going to be a part of my life where I'm alone so it's good to have the practice now.
