Reunion

Realization

*ring ring*
I was thrown from sleep abruptly by the sound of my phone ringing in the middle of the night. "Hello?" I said groggily.
"Hey Mikey it's Frank. Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier."

"Oh hey man. I never thought you were gonna get back to me. Boy am I glad you did. So what do you think of the idea?" I said excitedly.

"About that, I don't think we should. Sorry." I was crushed. "What? Why?"

"It's been so long Mikey. I don't know if we should go back to that lifestyle. It was good while it lasted but that was then. And this is now." I started to cry.

"Wait, Mikey, are you crying?" Frank said on the other line.
"Yeah Frank, I am. I really thought I could do this. That I could get our musical family back together. I missed this. I missed our friendship with each other. Our music, the fans, the awesomeness of it all. It was perfect. And now it's not. And I couldn't get Gerard either. And you were my last hope of getting him back. You know he would if you joined." I said through tears.

"Wow, I guess I never thought of it that way. Ok man. I'll do it." Shocked by this, I said, "Wait really?"

"Yes. I'll join you. Hearing you talk about the band with such passion. I remember how great it was. And now that you say that, I realize I do want it. I'll help you get Gerard and we'll make this happen."

"Thank you so much Frank. You won't regret it. Please talk to Gerard for me. And update me when you do. Bye."
"Ok Mike. I will."
