★Josh's POV★
"Do you think Aurora's gonna be okay all by herself?" I was crouched down in front of her cage that her bed was in.
"She's already asleep, Josh. I'm sure she'll be okay."
"But how do you know?" Tyler laughed at me and I turned to look at him.
"She's been home alone before. She'll be alright." I turned back to the cage and sighed. "We need to go if we wanna be on time." I agreed and stood up to join him.
"Okay. Let's go."
We got to Gerard's apartment and he let us in. Almost everyone was already there. Patrick and Pete were on their way. I congratulated Gee before going towards the others who were gathered in the living room.
"Tyler, Josh, this is my brother, Mikey. Mikey, this is Tyler and this is Josh." We said hello and I congratulated him as well.
"Thanks. It's so crazy. I never thought we would make it on the radio, let alone this quickly," Mikey gushed.
Someone knocked on the door and Gerard hurried to let them in. Patrick came in followed by Pete. Pete had a bag in his arms.
"What's that?" Gerard asked. Pete just winked before setting it down on a table. He pulled out a bottle of vodka and a six-pack of beers. We all just looked at Pete, some with surprise and others with confusion.
"How did you get that?" I asked.
"Fake ID," he replied simply.
"I'm surprised they believed that thing. You still look like an emo 16 year old." Patrick said. We all laughed but Pete just rolled his eyes.
"Well, do you want a drink or not, Patty?" He nodded and Pete passed him a beer. "Anyone else?"
I said 'me' and Tyler looked at me. I took the beer from Pete and popped the cap off. The smell filled my nose immediately and I was taken aback by its strength. I took a sip of it and gulped it down. The taste was strange but not bad.
"Josh, are you sure you want to drink?" Tyler whispered in my ear.
"Yea, I'll be fine. I'm not gonna get drunk or anything. It's just one beer." Tyler nodded and grabbed my hand. We walked to sit on the couch and he rest his arm over my shoulders. I took another sip as other people got drinks.
Hayley sat across from Tyler and I and sipped her drink. Gerard politely declined Pete's offer and grabbed two Red Bull's. He handed one to Tyler before sitting next to Hayley. Mikey walked over holding a beer and Gerard stopped him.
"Pete! Are you crazy? He's 18!"
"I'm 17," Frank said, sipping a cup that I assumed contained vodka.
"Well, you're not my little brother, Frank." Gerard took Mike's beer from him. "You know mom would kill us both if she found out that I let you drink."
"Fine," Mike sighed, sitting down on the ground, his back against the couch.
I finished my beer and got up to throw it away. Tyler kissed my cheek before letting me go.
"Do you want another drink?" Pete asked. He held up the bottle of vodka.
One more won't hurt..
"Sure!" He grabbed a cup and poured a red bull into it. He added vodka to it before passing the cup to me. I took a sip and winced. "Jesus that's strong."
"Sure is," he laughed. I took another sip and struggled to swallow it. The vodka made the beer seem so tame. "Isn't it nice?"
"It kind of burns," I admitted. "But, like a good type of burning." Pete pat me on my shoulder before following me into the living room with everyone else.
"We should do something fun," Marina suggested. She wasn't drinking tonight. "Do you guys have any games?"
"We have rockband," Gerard said.
"Yes!" Patrick exclaimed. "Let's play that!"
So, we formed teams. We decided that it would be unfair for My Chemical Romance to be together so we spilt them up. The teams ended up being Gerard, Patrick, Mikey, and I against Tyler, Frank, Ray, and Marina. Pete and Hayley said they would sub in for the next round.
For our first song, we did Wanted Dead or Alive. Gerard did vocals, Mikey and Patrick played guitar, and I drummed. We ended with a nearly perfect score. I had missed a few as my eyesight grew less stable. When I got up from the drums, I felt like I was gonna puke. I sat down carefully on the couch to watch the next group go.
They other team chose Say It Ain't So. Tyler was on vocals, Frank and Marina played guitar, while Ray was on the drums. I watched as Tyler let loose. He sounded amazing and looked amazing. Watching his lips move as the lyrics escaped was hypnotizing. I wasn't sure if it was my slightly drunk state or reality, but Tyler looked hotter than usual as he sang the chorus. He clutched the mic tightly and shook with the beat.
I applauded loudly when they finished. Tyler laughed as he sat next to me. I placed a kiss onto his pink lips. He pulled away and I frowned.
"Did you get another drink?"
"Maybee," I said, smiling. Tyler just frowned back at me.
"I thought you said you were only gonna have one."
"What's the big deal, Ty? I'm fine!" I was talking loudly and a few people looked over at us. Tyler shushed me lightly.
"It's okay," he sighed. "I just don't want you to do something you'll regret."
