"Please Gerard, it would be amazing!"
"I don't know Mikey, it's been so long. It just doesn't seem tangible anymore. I've got a new life now. Sorry bro."

I was angry at my brother. How could he not want to do this with me? The band was our life. And he was treating it as if it meant nothing. I said the last thing I could think of to convince him.

"Well hey, look at it like this. You always looked up to the smashing pumpkins. They departed as a band for 6 years after 12 and then got back together. It's been 6 for us and we already did the previous 12. Come on it's perfect!" I said.

"I did always like that idea. But I really don't think it'll happen. Plus it's not like Frank and Ray probably even want to do it anymore. So, I'm sorry Mikey but no." I was torn at this part.

"Fine Gerard, when I get them back you'll see. And you will want to join us again." I then hung up angrily. I was gonna do it. Even he didn't believe me but it would happen. It had to. I had realized it had just been too long without them. We were a family, us and the fans. And it was great.
