I sat on the back of the bus sewing up Gee's new tour jacket listening to my iPod, when I heard footsteps coming towards me.

It couldn't be Gee he was out with Lindsey even though he usually tries to shower before we head off to the next venue.

"Shit!"

I tried stuffing the jacket in between the couch cushions.

"Sawyer!"

I let out a sigh of relief when I saw that it was just Frank.

"Geez Frodo I thought it was Gerard for a second I am not done with his jacket yet."

"Oh sorry. How is it coming along?"

"Good just about done should be done for the Irvine date."

"Cool. If I was evil enough I would have you make me one."

"Oh gosh you can't be serious."

"I'm just kidding. I know how intricate you get with your projects."

"Ha ha but its true. Now what can I help you with?"

"Nothing lil' blue just checking in, making sure you're okay and not binge listening to the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack is all."

"Shut up. There is nothing much to say or do at this point Frodo. He is already a goner and I just have to suck it up and accept that he will never see me. You know?"

He sat down next to me and I resumed sewing.

"He is my best bud but you are my original girl and you deserve someone who sees you. Okay?"

He kissed my temple and left me to work.

"Hey Frank."

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for being my best friend. I don't think I would be able to make this in one piece without you."

"Anytime. Oh by the way you have a visitor."

"Who?"

"Oh just a little nobody."

That face I haven't seen in ages and made a grin appear on my face that I didn't want to leave.

I dropped my work and jumped into his arms.

"BRIAN!!!"

"Hello ma petite beauty."

"Oh my goodness I haven't seen you in years."

"Well Mike asked and we couldn't resist and I was hoping to see you again."

"good or else I would have had to make a trip out to your country and demand an explaination."

He chuckled

"Still making Gerard's jackets I see."

"Yup. You know I am a sucker for a good project."

"I know that jacket you made me for my birthday is one of my most prized possessions."

"You're welcome."

I sat back down and continued to stitch pieces together and Brian sat beside me.

"I popped in to see if the rumors were true."

"What rumors?"

"That...that this is it for you... No more road, no more touring."

Okay note to self: guys are freaking chatty Cathy's

"I should have known everyone would talk. The rumors are true though."

"Just please tell me that this isn't about Gerard."

"That's part of it."

"Come on just because he is an idiot doesn't mean we can't see you anymore."

"It's not that it's about me just taking my life back now. Putting me first from now on, not waiting for him to show up at my door and hoping he says those words. I can't live like this anymore Brian. I am sitting here stitching his jacket and he is out there falling in love with his crush and I can't take anymore. I just want to be real to someone."

"You are real. You will always be real. You will be with someone who just wants to be with you. Even when are being a pain in the bum."

"Shut up you know you adore me bel homme"

"You're lucky you're adorable Sawyer."

I have a feeling I am going to get a lot of shoulders to lean on this tour.

It will make everything a bit easier.

Hopefully.
