On our way to band practice, Kylie was doing her best to put on her happy face and I felt so bad. I pulled into the lot to the the flat and put the car in Park.
"We don't have to be here you know?" I say and she looks up at me.
"Yes we do. This is the band we're talking about brad. I don't want to take that away from you just because some shit is happening at home. You always support me. Now it's my turn." she smiles and opens her car door. God, I love that girl.
We made our way up two flights of stairs and when we walked into the flat it felt like home. I've spent so much time here in the past 5 years. I can hear tris drumming already.
"You're still alive?!" Con jokes with me.
"Yes, mate. Get off of me you twat" I say as I laugh and push him off my shoulder. I can't help but glance around to try to find Kye. I see her blonde bun bouncing around over by Bri. I'm glad she's getting some time with her friend. I would much rather be at home with her but I know she'd rather be here right now and I'm fine with that.
Kylie's POV
"I'm so glad you decided to come! The past 2 practices have been really weird without you here." Bri said as she hugged me.
"I know. I've just been going through some stuff and Brad wouldn't leave my side." I'm honest with her. I told him to go to both practices but he wouldn't. He wanted to be there for me.
"That's what you've always wanted though? Someone that doesn't leave when things get hard?" She smiles.
"I already had that," Her puzzled look Cassie's me to explain further, "I've always had this amazing best friend that held my hand through everything." He smile was from ear to ear as she pulled me in for another hug. "So what have you been up to? I feel like it's been so long since I saw you last!" I say once she releases me.
"Tris and I have been hanging out a lot, but I've mostly been working. My mo-" she stops herself and covers her mouth before she can finish the sentence.
"Your mom what?" I ask letting her know it's okay to talk about, though the word stings rolling off my lips.
"My mom is back in town. She got an actual job and she's really trying this time!" Bris mom is a recovering(not so much) drug addict.
"I'm so happy for you!" As I finish my sentence I am cut off by the instruments and vocals coming from the boys. Bri walked over to a chair about 10 feet away from tris and watched him drum. I chose to stay where I was, brads eyes still met mine, though I was across the room.
I've stood in this spot listening to the boys play for about 20 minutes. I text brad that I'm going outside for some air and then walk out the door. Before walking down the stairs, I try to scope out a place to sit, but there doesn't look like their are any, so I decide to sit at the bottom of the stairs. The sky is so dark tonight. Normally around this time, the stars are lighting up the sky along with the moon, but there were no stars in sight. I kind of like it though. There were just a few stars, kind of how I like my life. I only have a few stars that I care about, the boys and Bri. Other than that, everything and everyone else that surrounds, doesn't really matter to me. I lay back on the stairs and stare at the sky.
"Hey, are you okay?!" The voice scars me and I jump up.
"Landon? What the hell are you doing out here?!?" I yell at him, holding my chest and catching my breath. His blonde hair and blue eyes are shining in what's left of the moonlight.
He does the same and replied "I live down the road! I was going on my nightly jog but I saw someone laying on the steps and wanted to make sure everything was okay! I'm sorry to scare you."
