I sat at home watching Nightmare Before Christmas yet again. Then I got to thinking of Chads tattoos of Jack and Sally, then I started thinking of how much I missed Chad.
I’ve been dating Chad for almost two years now. He is currently recording a new album for his band Farewell, My Love. I always had a soft spot for drummers.
'have you eaten yet? I was thinking of getting dinner and bringing it to the studio so I can see you' I texted him.
'that sounds great babe, I'm starving. And I miss you.' he responded.
'I miss you too, I'll be there in about an hour.'
I decided to change into simple shorts and one of Chads shirts that I stole and cut up. I don’t even think he knows I took it yet, oh well :)
I fixed my makeup, grabbed my keys, and headed to our favorite vegan restaurant in downtown Phoenix. Chads been a vegetarian for a long time but I had only been one for a few months before I met him. That’s one of the things we bonded over, our first date was to a vegetarian restaurant.
I ordered most of chads favorite figuring if there’s any left over one of the guys will eat it.
When I got back in my car, Just Another Soul started playing. That is my favorite song off Farewell, My Love’s first EP. Sometimes when I listen to it I think Chad and the guys wrote it about me. They never give me a straight answer when I ask about the meaning behind it.
"(Y/N)! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you!" Röbbie screamed when he saw me get out of my car as he was leaving the studio.
"I know it’s been so long, maybe if you stop keeping my boyfriend from me, we can go out sometime."
"that sounds great. We should be done recording next week, maybe then?" he asked.
"we can celebrate finishing the album!"
"fuck yea! Well I gotta get home and check on kupkake, I think Chads the only one in there."
"well give kupkake a kiss for me, see you soon," I said giving him a hug.
I entered the studio to see chad recording vocals. He’s been singing more on this album.
I sat next to the producer and watched chad sing.
’I sat on the bed trying to figure things out, but they didn’t make sense to me. I was burried in my feelings, falling further down, I forgot all of my sanity. I did everything that I ever could but I didn’t think that you could see, you were everything that took my heart and thoughts your water broke through, through my paper forts.’
I loved the sound of Chad’s voice behind Ryan’s. Something about Ryan’s accent makes it more noticeable
’I thought this was something to live for, more then anything to die for, believing somewhere that we can make a change. I could never bare the thought of leaving, I still feel like I did that evening, can you feel me still trying to keep you safe?’
Wow. I knew chad could sing, but I never knew he was that good. His voice is so beautiful on this song.
’I sat on the bed trying to figure things out, but it didn’t make sense to me, I was burried in my feelings falling further down, I forgot all of my sanity. I did everything that I ever could, but I didn’t think that you could see. You were everything that took my heart and thoughts, your water broke through, through my paper forts.’
As Chad finished the second chorus he finally noticed I was sitting there. He smiled at me and kept singing.
’you know it left me smothered, you know it left me covered!’
'it's still a little complicated, my heart no longer needs saving, I'm picking up my feelings from the floor.'
He put the headphones on the mic and left the little room.
"hey babe!" he said walking up to me. I jumped out of the seat and ran up to him jumping into his arms.
"that was so beautiful! You need to sing more!"
"right now I want a kiss from you, and some food!" he said before kissing me and spinning me around. He does the cutest things sometimes.
"is that my shirt?" he asked when he put me down.
"mayyybee," I answered running away and grabbing the bag of food. I ran into the kitchen place thing and sat at the table with Chad following behind.
"it looks better like that on you anyways," he said kissing my cheek and sitting next to me.
"I got your favorites."
"what’s the special occasion I’m apparently forgetting? Our anniversary’s in 2 months, your birthday was a few months ago, and it’s not my birthday," he said being his funny self. "Oh god, you’re not pregnant are you?" he added.
I just laughed and shook my head.
"I need an occasion now to see my boyfriend?"
"no you don’t, thank you though." he held my hand and kissed by cheek again.
We sat in a comfortable silence just eating and holding each others hand.
"what was the name of the song you were recording earlier?"
"paper forts, it’s one of the more mellow songs on the record."
"have you gotten a name for the record yet?"
"were thinking Gold Tattoos."
"I like that," I told him taking his hand on both of mine when I finished eating.
"me too."
