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

Fourty-Seven

To say everything went back to normal is an exaggeration. We have band practice again, our gigs again (Max told the club owner I had the flu.) Things didn't go back to normal completely, I was so quiet that you could only hear my voice when I sang. I become extremely quiet when Jake introduced his new girlfriend, the one that flirted with him and made me start this whole thing. The guys didn't seem to notice my reluctance to be close to them, or the reluctance to speak. It was like they just wanted their singer back, only worrying about the band. I had scheduled band practice for 2 times a week for 4 hours instead of 4 times a week for 2 hours. My excuse: homework. Though I am actually doing homework, I just couldn't stand being around Jake and the new girl. 2 weeks is all it took for him to get over me. I hate that I sounded like a snobby teenage girl, but I'm just miserable. "TY! AJ AND MAX ARE HERE!" I looked up in curiosity. I didn't invite them over, band practice isn't until tomorrow. The door to my bedroom opened and two pairs of feet are heard stomping down the stairs. I didn't look up from my laptop, all that could be heard was the heavy breathing from the two and my rhythmic typing. "Can you stop doing homework for 2 seconds to talk to us?" I sighed and looked up from the History paper I was doing. "It is Wednesday yes?" They nodded and I checked through things in my head. "Band practice isn't until tomorrow." "Yeah we know." "Then why are you here?" I reached for the third cup of coffee sitting by my leg and took a sip from it. Max walked over to my curtains and threw them open. A flash of lightning lit up the dim room and I winced from the brightness.

"We want to know why you haven't been around much. You're forgiven ya know, by all three of us." "In case you don't know, spring ACTs' are next week and finals are in two weeks. Homework is top priority at the moment." "That doesn't explain why you barely say a word to us. All you do is sing, glare at Alice, then leave." So that's the bitch's name. "I'm just stressed alright." That was only a part of it. "Tyler Elizabeth, we all know that there is more to it than that. Look we only want you to talk to us, not shut us out. Who was there to help you when Pete was acting like an asshat? Us. Who was there to help you when you failed that math test? Us. Who helped you create the band? We did." I sighed, my eyes going anywhere but their eyes. "It's just hard you know. I knew things with Jake and I weren't going to be a-okay, but he didn't have to show off his hot ass girlfriend and act like I was just some once week thing. I mean we did things that now looking back on, I regret ever doing with him. You don't know what its like. You have only ever dated each other." I rubbed my legs, trying to calm myself down.

"Is that what you've been keeping in this whole time?" I shrugged. "With every thing going on, my brain is caving in on its self. I have finals, the band, the whole Jake mess, which I wish I could just put behind me, I have to make the decision of whether I'm going on tour with the boys or not." I watched as the boys' faces fell. I didn't tell them about the tour because I knew they'd try to change my mind. "Who is it going to be with?" "Some band called Waterparks. I think, I meet them in 2 days." "We think that you should take a break from the band, hell we think we should all take a break. Jake barely pays attention anymore because he always has his lips attached to Alice's, or his dick in her. We all have finals coming up and you're beyond the point of breaking down." I looked down at my hands, they looked shaky. "You don't have to do that. I'll be fine and I know how much this means to you guys." "Ty, we love you. We really do. With you and Jake just breaking up, we think you two just need to step away from each other and breathe. Have time to focus on other things. Like you want to learn piano, take this time to start that. Sometime over summer, or when you get back from tour, we'll pick up the band refreshed and happier."
