“Hi guys, I’m Gerard Way from My Chemical Romance.”
“I’m Synyster Gates from Avenged Sevenfold.”
“We want to apologize to our fans for what happen on stage in Amsterdam last week. We’re not having a fight or anything, it’s just how we mingle.”
“And I’m NOT on drugs or anything so don’t assume that I am. Don’t do drugs, kids.”
“Well, let’s just say that what happened was just a minor drunken situation of me. I was being a human, having a hangover that day. Gates was just passing by, I said some nasty things to him, he pulled me by the collar and smelled my breath. He said to me, “Jack Daniels last night eh?” He even advised me to not take anything too strong while on stage because it will mess up my focus.”
“Yeah.”
“So, we just want to do this shout outs to all the fans and the haters of both of us, to stop the cyber war.”
“Or not, we’re not your parents we can’t tell you what to do.”
“Anyway, stay in school, or work, whatever. Goodbye.”
After that both of them hugged in the video. Michelle smiled watching it. The video had been spread all over the internet since the past two weeks. They were obviously acting but nonetheless it was convincing. She wondered whether Tona was forced being the camerawoman or did she volunteer to record this.
The cyber war gradually faded, though there were still some fans who didn’t believe the video but they were also minority, so Michelle didn’t care anymore. She reached for her phone and called Brian. She hadn’t spoken to him for two weeks. After the first controversial video went viral, Brian just stopped calling and texting her. She was anxious to know what happened. But after the counter attack video was released, he still didn’t call. She called him so many times before but it always went to his ‘Jimmy custom made’ voicemail.
“Hey you’ve reached Brian Pickled Liver Hane-dog, I’ll fucking kill you!!” BEEP.
Jimmy’s voice blared through her speaker loudly before the beep sounded.
“Brian, why didn’t you call? I missed you. Call me back.”
She figured that maybe he was too busy. Plus he didn’t know how to Skype so she forgave him anyway. She’d thought of calling Jimmy or even Matt but she didn’t want them to think of her as too attached.
The house felt so empty without him around. Though Pinkly was actively running and jumping and chasing her tail, Michelle still felt empty inside.
“Pinkly, come here. Come here baby.”
Pinkly obeyed and went running towards her. She picked her up and Pinkly’s tongue stuck out, panting.
“Mommy misses daddy so much, do you miss daddy?”
She barked.
“Aww, you do. Let’s get you something to eat.” She got up from the couch and went to the kitchen while holding Pinkly in her arms. She prepared for Pinky’s bowl and watched her chomped down the whole thing happily. Then she suddenly heard a ‘bing’ from her laptop. She took her time to go over, but when she finally reached there, there was a notification from her Skype that says;
guitargod77 wants to add you.
“Guitargod77? Now who the hell is this?” She approved it and then the person without the avatar immediately called her. She was a bit afraid to receive the call; in fact it’s a video call. But she picked it up anyway. It took a while for the person load the view but when it was done;
