House of Gold // Adopted by Tyler Joseph

Commitment

        It all happened so suddenly. The end of a tour, this album and era. Even me getting my first boyfriend happened so... quickly.

"Lily, babe, could you maybe move your legs?" Jack chuckled, I removed my legs from his lap, I was clingy now that everyone was leaving. He'd flown out to see the last show, well, his dad flew out, and he came along.

"You're not still thinking of Dallon are you?" He grumbled, jealousy evident in his voice.

"Of course not just him. But yeah, I'm thinking of every band boy, and how I'm going to have no life after tour." I sighed, picturing dad using that as an opportunity to further my education.

"Your YouTube channel? You're more social media famous than me after all."

"Gee thanks." I rolled my eyes, we get it, Mark Hoppus was currently more famous than Tyler Joseph. I felt that wouldn't last, as Dad was actually gaining fans, he said he wouldn't.

"You know what I mean. You're smart, setting up a career for yourself so young."

"And your photography skills isn't talent?" I caused a blush to appear on his face. "Because I think so."

Just as he took my hand in his, laughing softly, my Dad had to burst in. "What're you kids doing in here?"

Of course, didn't he know we never kissed nor talked about that one time we did? "Nothing sexual Dad." I was bluntly honest, Jack cringed as Dad blushed.

"Language." He pointed at me.

Since when was sex a bad word? Right I was thirteen. "The language is English, yes." I responded back.

He sighed, shaking his head and laughing. "Last show is tonight. Any sassy remarks you want to make before we go on stage?" He crossed his arms.

"No I'm afraid I'm all out." I held in a giggle. Jack face palmed.

"Well let's head to side stage, Josh is waiting." He motioned for me to get up, I did and grabbed his hand, to show him I may be a sassy snarky teenager, but I still loved him.

"Good luck Dad." I reached for his face with outstretched fingers, giving him a good-luck kiss.

Jack went to his Dad, who was patting Josh on the back before he ran out too. I smiled at them, finally seeing Jenna since we'd both arrived two days ago. And to think we'd be on a plane again to Columbus.

During the end of their set, I noticed Brendon and the rest of Panic! charging out, balloons in hand, 'Holding Onto You' playing.

Dallon motioned for me to come out, I did, Jenna running to Tyler as he finished his last note, she kissed him with her hands behind her back.

I clapped as the audience screamed some more, Josh bowing and waving with my Dad. Confetti flew as we ran back in, Panic getting ready for their set.

It was amazing, the thrill of just being on stage, I'd love to perform one day like my Dad does. Fall Out Boy had finished their very last song, more and more pranks being played as it was the last time we'd all be like this together.

Pete handed me a pizza, I sat next to Jack and celebrated the end. A girl with a pixie cut of blonde hair came up to us, introducing herself.
