A/N: ok, let's just pretend that you is the lead singer for PUP and substitute all the bands member's actual names with fake ones ok? All rights to the original PUP btw this is JUST FANFIC also.. Brendon in here is from the Pretty. Odd. era (above)
So, I've been hiding this big secret from my dad ever since it started about six months ago. I've been in a band with my friends, Alex, Jake, and Cory. I was the lead singer, Alex was the guitarist, Jake was the drummer, and Cory was bass. We had posted out videos on YouTube and we're somewhat popular but we still have to work harder. Today was garage practice at Jake's place.
I told my dad that I was going to Jake's to do homework but I was really going there for rehearsal obviously. When I arrived I saw Alex, Jake, and Cory setting up the equipment. "Hey, sorry I'm late, my dad was drilling me with questions." I laughed. "Why don't you just tell him?" Alex asked. "Cause I wanna tell him when we actually get there.. ya know.. famous?" She nodded and plugged in her guitar.
We forgot to shut the garage door while we were playing and a couple of teenagers came to watch. I smiled at that and continued singing. About fifteen minutes later, there was a whole crowd watching and cheering! Some were even wearing MCR shirts and that meant this was gonna go wild considering I am Gerard Way's daughter. At least half the crowd was recording.
Finally we ended the song with Pine Point, a song I dedicated to Brendon. We used to be so close and we loved each other but.. things happened. When we were done with rehearsal- I mean the show, I guess you could call it that, we packed up and all of the "fans" gave us hugs. I checked my phone to see twitter notifications everywhere.
The band was tagged in a video while we were singing Pine Point and the caption read:
@gerardway Y/N IS IN A BAND AND YOU DIDNT TELL US?!?!?
I laughed at the tweet and saw that my dad replied with:
I DIDNT KNOW EITHER!! @yourusername WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?!?
I tweeted him back and said I would tell him later. I looked back at the video and thought of Brendon. It was hard for me to sing that song without crying. I kept thinking about Brendon until a tear dropped from my eye and hit my phone screen. I wiped it with my pants and sniffled. "Hey you ok?" Jake came out of no where and asked. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Just thinking about..."
"Brendon, I know. Hey, maybe he'll see the vid and text you." I smiled hopelessly at the thought. "Hey! It could happen, cheer up, Buttercup!" He hugged me and I thanked him.
I got a ride from Alex and she dropped me off at home. When I opened the front door I was ambushed by my uncles and dad. "YOU NEVER TOLD US YOU WERE IN A BAND!!!" Frank yelled excitedly. "YEAH, WHATS THE NAME?!?" Ray questioned. "Umm PUP! Sorry about not telling you, we just wanted to get more popular before we told our parents, and we stared about six months ago!" The guys were in shock. Suddenly my dad hugged me and I squirmed playfully.
"Daaaaaad! Stop it!" I laughed.
"My baby can sing!!!" He said quite childlike.
After I spent about half an hour talking with my uncles about my band, there was a knock on the door and my dad went up to answer it. "HEY!!! ITS OUR LITTLE MUSICAL BABY!!" My uncle Pete screamed, I laughed and ran up to hug him.
"I haven't seen you guys in forever!!" I said.
"Yeah, we don't see you for a month and you're already part of a super cool band! Nice job, kid!" Joe said, high-fiving me.
Pete of course brought pizza and the rest of the evening was spent by talking about my band and hanging out with family having a good time. I'm proud that I can say that cause most teens don't like their family now a days. I checked my phone and the time said 10:47pm I yawned and put my phone back. "Are you guys sleeping here?" I asked my other uncles, Pete, Joe, Andy, and Patrick.
"Yeah we're probably gonna sleep here, why you going to bed, kiddo?" Patrick said. I nodded my head and hugged him then trudged off to my room upstairs.
