Johnny lay beside me on the couch. His head tucked into my chest. His hands clung to my shirt. The room was silent aside for the soft and even breathes coming from Johnny.
  "Johnny." I said. He shifted. Not looking up but to hear me.
  "Hm?" He said softly. I looked to the phone.
  "Have you talked to Angie?" Johnny did not move. "Johnny?" He shook his. "Johnny, she is going to think something is up. You went to me instead of her after...after what happened." Still no movement. I thought for a moment. "How about I make a deal with you?" He poked his ear out. "How about...if you call Angie you and I can... go on a road trip." I looked down at him. He turned his face to me. "What do say?" He pondered the thought for a minute.
"A road trip?" He questioned not taking the bate.
"Yeah a road trip. Or just a trip in general. " he nodded. He smiled and looked to me.
"Alright. Sounds...fun." I smiled and stoked his hair.
"Good. We both need to get out of the house." Johnny nodded. I leaned down and kissed Johnny's head. He wrapped his arms around my waist.
  "Can't we just stay here. It's nice and warm." He nuzzled my chest.
  Finally an hour later I got out of Johnny's grip. I made my way home. Of course only when I walk home does it ran the hardest. It was still some what sunny out so the rain looked golden. I had decided to wear my glasses today. They were blurred and foggy from the rain and mist. I finally arrived at my home. By now I hoped Johnny would be talking kindly to Angie on the Phone. His face seemed to brighten when he talked to her. I couldn't tell if he was just faking being happy or he really was. It was probably the second. Angie meant a lot to him. And I knew that well. And I know that Johnny would never leave her. And I would never want him to have to choose.  I unlocked the door to my house and walked over to the record player. I put on one of my favorites and later down on my couch. I closed my eyes. What will Angie say to Johnny? What will he say to her? My mind was swimming with thoughts. My eyes shot open from the things I pictured. I decided I need a drink of water. As I walked to the kitchen the phone rang. I walked over to it and picked up.
  "H-Hello?" I said as I picked up the phone. I heard a familiar voice on the other end. 
  "Hey Moz, I know you were just over, but I just got off the phone with Angie. " he was silent.
"Johnny? Johnny what did she say?" He cleared his throat.
"Sh-she sounded happy to hear from me. I think she was just mainly concerned on how I was." He laughed. "I told her that you and I were going to take a trip and just clear our heads. But then... then she said we should bring Mike with us too. I agreed." He sighed. "I'm sorry Moz I should have talked to you but I was so nervous." He sounded like he wanted to cry.
"Johnny! Johnny,Johnny I'm not upset with you. I think it would be nice to take Mike along with us. He needs to get out of his house too. I'm he needs the air. Angie is right." Something I wished were not true sometimes." It's fine that you were nervous I understand." I tried to sound reassuring.
"Oh thank god! I was worried you would be upset because...well." He stopped. "Well-well I thought you would want it to just be-you and me..." my cheeks got hot. I didn't think Johnny saw it like that.
"I-I would like -I would like for us to maybe be alone some time but...but uh... Mike! Mike needs us right now!" I said trying to change topic.
"Yeah your right." Johnny said sounding defeated.
"Okay then. So tomorrow then?" I said searching for an answer.
"That's sounds great. I guess I'll see you tomorrow Moz. Good Night~" Johnny said. I wish I could stay on the phone longer but I knew I had to let him go.
"Good Night Johnny~" we both hung up the phone. As I climbed into an empty bed. I thought about what will come tomorrow. I closed my eyes thinking about...Johnny.

I woke up to the sound of knocking. I reached over and grabbed my glasses from my table. The room became clearer. As my feet touched the cold floor I made my way down stairs. A familiar figure stood in front of the door. I opened it.
"Morning Mozzer!" Johnny said with a glowing smile. It seemed a bit forced but I did t mind.
"Morning Johnny. Why don't you come inside." I gestured to the living room.
"If you want you can sit in there. I just woke up so I'm not ready yet. I'll be down soon I said as I went up stairs to get ready.
Third person Pov:
Johnny made his way into the living room. He could hear Moz up stairs walking about. His eyes scanned the room that he had seen so many times. They landed on the recored player. He walked over to wear Morrissey kept his Music. He pulled out a familiar recored and placed it on the tape. Johnny made his way to sitting on the couch as the Cookies sang.

"Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la sha la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la sha la la
I want a boy for my birthday
That's what I've been dreaming of
I won't have a happy birthday
Without a boy to love"

Johnny sang along. The sound of foot steps were heard has Morrissey came down. Johnny sat up to look at Moz. Johnny had decided in that very moment that he loved seeing Moz in his glasses. Moz awkwardly came in holding his bag.
"I'm ready." He said pushing up his glasses. Johnny couldn't speak for a moment.
"Um right. We have to go pick up mike and..." Johnny trailed off.
"And?" Moz did not understand.
"I might have also invited... Stephen. And also maybe Craig." He said with a winced pain on his face.

Morrissey pov:
I looked at Johnny has his face made an expression that meant ' please don't be upset'. I sighed. I walked over to him. "That's fine." I said trying for a smile. Johnny smiled.
"Thank god. I thought you would be upset with me."
We walked out to Johnny's car. I sat up front with him. On the way to the diner, where we planned to meet up with the rest of the gang, Johnny sang softly.

"I won't share you, no
I won't share you
With the drive
And ambition
The zeal I feel
This is my time~"

I leaned my head against the window enjoying the sound of his voice. I don't know how he does it. Pretends it's alright. None of what happened recently is alright. We lost a frie-we lost Andy. Andy didn't deserve to die. Not for any reason. I found out the story between Liam and Andy.
Before Liam and Noel had left our group. It was Andy and Hectors gang. Each gang was completely different. From what I understood was Liam, Liam had walked in on Mike and Andy together. Andy asked him to not tell anyone. Liam left him and took Noel with him to join Hector. Liam convinced Hector to get in a fight with Andy. Durning the fight Hector and Andy were fighting. Hector had a knife and... he tried to killAndy. So to save Andy, Mike had to ... kill Hector. Andy was saved but Hector. After that "Hector's" gang has been after Andy ever since but now...Andy is gone.
  I was jostled from my thoughts when I heard Johnny say. "We are here." We pulled up in front of Mike's flat. We both got out the wind waved our chairs about. As we got to the door Johnny stepped forward and knocked. The door was opened.
"Hey guys!" It was Stephen with a grin. He turned his head "Craig!!! Johnny and Moz are here!!!" He yelled. He turned back to us opening the door all the way. "Come on in guys." We followed him in. There were foot steps coming down the hall.
  "Hey guys." Said Craig. Mike followed behind him. He looked like shite. As they got to us,Mike leaned on the wall.
  "Alright. Is everyone packed and ready?" Johnny said with a smile.
  "Yep. Got everyone ready." Said Stephen. We all walked out I helped Craig carry something and popped them in the trunk. As we got in Johnny leaned forward and turned on the radio.
  "Right lets head out!" He said trying to lighten the mood. I smiled to reassure him. We drove off not really sure where we were going.
