The Old Beginning (chapter 28)

*Victoria's POV*

Today I was finally getting my cast taken off, it was a long 2 months of having my cast on. I couldnt play any instruments or swim. But my birthday was in one week and I was probably the most exited I have been in awhile.

Everyone still regretted to tell me what the sticky note meant but I knew that they all knew.

Gerard and Lindsey's relationship has been pretty good, she's going to move in sometime and she is super cool but I really don't know too much about her. All I know is that she has a collection of mini skirts and loves making tiny prices of art out of thick paper.

Everytime I try to get to know her just a little more she either has to leave or do something else. She leaves a lot thought and I know she doesn't go to her house like at all.

Today Gerard had to go to the studio because the band is trying to come up with a new album and Gerard asked Lindsey if she would watch me. So while Gerard way away doing band stuff I was here with mysterious Lindsey Ballato.

"So Lindsey." I started "what else do you do besides collect skirts and make art." The amount of skirts she has is crazy and I don't even know when she finds the time to wear them.

"That's all I do." She said cutting peices of paper.

I hesitated then went back to my room. I messaged Lex for a little while and told him about all the cool things that have happened over the week. That's normally what we did, we talked for about an hour or two over Skype or messages. Its hard not having your boyfriend live right next to you and for them to be miles and miles away. Its quite upsetting and the next thing I knew I was crying and I didn't even know why. After about 25 minutes I calmed myself down and I heard some sort of sound filling the house. I cracked open my door and stepped out into the cold hallway. The sound kept getting louder and louder and I itched closer to Gerard's office. There was a song being played rapidly on a bass guitar. Gerard didn't play bass and mine were getting fixed.

I thought to myself 'is this what Lindsey does?' It had to be. I slowly cracked open the door just enough to see Lindsey playing the guitar. And she was good. Immediately I wondered if she was in a band or just played for fun, all I knew is that her talent was to good for just fun.

I heard the front door open and footsteps down the hall. Lindsey stopped playing and put everything back and I ran to my room before Gerard opened it and said hello before leaving. He was also dropping in to I form me that my birthday was in less then 24 hours.

As I layed in bed that night I thought about the sticky note and what it was all about and about why Lindsey would ever want to hide her ability to play the bass. I'm sure it was nothing too big she was absolutely​ amazing and the tune she played would not detach from my brain.

I fell asleep humming the tune of the notes and happily thinking of whatever floated across my head.

There was one voice

Then another

And one more

Plus another one

Oh and one more

Why were so many people over?

Just go to bed I told myself but honestly I couldn't. I rolled over to me side and the clock read 10:46. Who has people over this late? Why didn't anyone tell me?

I slipped on a pair of slippers and wrapped my fuzzy black blanket around me before going down the halls. Once I was into the kitchen I his behind the wall that separated the living room and the kitchen hoping to catch a glance of whoever was here.

'I've been a really nosy person today.' I thought. Eh its my house.

I leaned in further to see but failed and fell right in front of the door frame and 10 pairs of eyes were on me. I hurried to the floor and started to make my way upstairs like nothing happened when someone shouted.

"You have to be Victoria or maybe your the person that lives in Gerard's basement, who ever you are come in." The guy with brown hair said. I liked is twisted mind. I just met him but I knew I liked him.

"Well I for sure know that I don't live in a basement so that makes me Victoria."

"Nah your the basement girl, I remember you know." The one with dark black hair said.

I took a seat on my favorite part of the couch and looked at everyone. There were two hoys and one girl I have never met. They looked really punk and cool.

"Victoria?" Lindsey asked. "I'd like to introduce you to Jimmy." The one with the brow hair waved "Steve." She said as she pointed to him. "And kitty." Kitty had black hair with little color streaks.

"AND WE ARE MINDLESS SLE-"

"JIMMY!" Lindsey shouted punching him in the arm.

"Mindless Self what?" I asked.

"Indulgence." Jimmy finished his sentence. "Were all one big band, except for Gerard he's got his famous big band while we have our small underground band.

Everything started to click. Lindsey must leave for band practice and shows maybe. And she was playing the bass because she's in a band... That I never knew about.

After a few hours of talking I grew tired and headed up to bed. I didn't even try to process what just had happened to was so tired.

Tomorrow was my birthday anyway
