What A Catch.

Chapter 55

Pov Beth

I collect up one of the baskets. Wearing a skintight black dress, my hair in curls, I grab Petes hand and we step outside.

Everyone is outside, looking quite smart. I grin, walking besides Casey as we walk up a hill.

We settle on top of the hill and sit around in a circle. Florence sitting slightly more forwards than the rest of us, leaning on Patrick. Its a shame he had to meet her now in the tour.

I bite into a soft sandwich, being careful not to spill crumbs.

"This is it." Mikey whispers.

"It was great." Gerard continues.

"Fucking awesome." Frank says through a mouthful of chicken.

"A few months go by so quickly." I say, admiring the sun as it descends.

I notice a small amount of tension between Casey and Mikey, although I dont comment.

"When will we see you next?" I ask, to MCR.

"Well, we were planning another one of these but around the world in like... 6 months?" Gerard tells me.

"Yeah, tickets go out in two weeks, we are telling everyone tomorrow. I cant wait." Pete says.

"I hope to come along, unless you dont want me to." I say.

"Nah, bring Casey too, if she wants that is." Patrick says, "Flo, here, will probably come with too!"

"Ah, how nice." Joe says, with a slight edge to it.

The sky turns a deep redish orange colour.

"Remember the banana game?" Gerard says suddenly.

Everyone agrees.

"I have a shit ton of bananas and no way to rid of them... Whos in?"

"Thats convenient!" Casey laughs.

We all grab a banana. Gerard peels his and looks into Franks eyes. He composes himself. Slowly he bites down on the banana.

"Suck that dick." Frank whispers.

Gerard promptly spits out the banana, erupting into laughter.

"Suck it real good." Frank continues.

"Stop it! Ive lost!" Gerard squeals, lying on his back, clinging onto his stomach.

"I always win." Franks smirks, returning to sit facing the circle.

I turn to my right, facing Florence. I slowly take bites out of my banana and she just looks at me in disgust. Just looking her in the face makes me uncomfortable.

"This game is really immature." She says once I finish the banana.

"We never said you have to play." I reply, dropping my banana skin in the centre of the circle, by Gerards.

She huffs before dropping her banana on the floor. I share a look with Joe across the circle before we continue.

"I love spending time with you guys. Im going to miss the banana game when we leave." Mikey says quietly.

"Im going to miss Gerard blowing a banana." Frank says, smirking.

"Fuck you." Gerard says, punching him lightly. "We still have band practice..."

"I wish we could stay like this forever, I am perfectly happy." I say, looking up at Pete.

I suddenly stop. In the distance someone is standing, watching us. They slowly walk towards us and I wonder who it is. I decide to keep quiet as they are all in a conversation at the moment and enjoying it

The person walk steadily, slowly speeding up.

"Guys." I whisper, "who is that, and why is she running towards us?"

Everyone turns. The person is only a few hundred meters away now. Its a woman, a familiar woman. The woman holds her hands out and seems to be shouting.

"Beth, Beth."

The sound of her voice familiar...

"BETH."

Sounds like my mum.

"Beth, is that your mum?" Pete asks.
