I Guess We'll Never Know (adopted by fob)✔

Thirty-Two

"You're sure you're fine. You don't have to go to school if you aren't up to it." "Patrick I'm fine. If I stay here, I'm just going to end up throwing myself off the roof. I can't skip school because of a stupid sleeping condition." Patrick had called me during first period, while I was painting, and he was so frantic, people could probably hear his panicking if they were standing next to me. "Okay okay. Just be careful and I want you to come home tonight okay? Pete is done with his mood." "Not that it did anything for me. He ignores me either way and I'm scared out of my mind he's going to hit me again." "Ty that was an accident." "Doesn't make it any less scary. I would've been fine if he spanked me as childish as that sounds. Him slapping me is not okay." I heard him sigh from the otherside. "I just want you to at least and try to get over your fear of him. The guys and I are working on breaking him and his whore up. All they do is fuck on the couch and I'm going to have to replace it." "I can try but it's not going to be instaneous. Pat I gotta go, Max is here to help me paint." I turned to Max after hanging up. "He wants me home right after school." Max nodded sadly and picked up a paint brush. "You're good at drawing. I've seen it. I want you to paint your favorite music people and I'll do inspiring band lyrics on the other wall."

We're allowed to have anyone help us paint and Max has student aid 1st. He got the okay to help me paint everyday until it's done. "I love this. Painting and drawing are my go to relaxtion." I smiled to myself at this bit of information. "Do you think we should start a band? How dope would that be? To become something we'd always idoled." "I think that'd be cool. Just the three of us. Like Paramore." "What would be our band name?" "Something short but catchy." "How about When Romance Fails?" "I can dig it. I never thought you'd want to make a band." He shrugged and turned toward me. "I've always loved music. Maybe we could add another person but I don't know." "Doesn't Tyler give that kid singing lessons? What's his name?" "Jake. We could ask him. He also plays guitar. I play bass and AJ plays drums." I was going to say something but the bell rang. "Well he's in our second period as well right? We could ask him then." We silently cleaned up all the paint and brought it back to the art room. "Are we late?" "Nah. Mr. Byers'll give us passes." I was right, as soon as we walked into the art room, Mr. Byers handed us each a pass. We took our time walking to Chem. "Mrs. Wentz and Mr. Sanchez, you're both late." "We have passes. We were working on painting the music mural for art." She pursed her lips and snatched the passes from our hands. "Go sit down. I don't have a lesson today, just read or talk quietly." I looked at Max and we both giggled quietly. We sat in the back, the table behind Jake. "Jake can we talk to you?" He turned his chair to face us.

"We have yet to talk with AJ, ut we think he'll be on board. We want to form a band and we want you in it. As a guitarist and backup vocalist." "That sounds fucking cool! Do you guys have a name yet?" "We were thinking When Romance Fails or maybe Dies." Max looked at me and I shrugged. "Rolls off the tongue." "I like the dies part better. We can ask AJ and see what he thinks." Max smiled and we looked at Jake again. "I'm in. Ty are you the lead vocalist?" I blushed and shyly nodded. He patted my hand and my face heated up even more. "This is going to be so fucking epic!"
