Drowning In Love And Sorrows - New Chapters!

Keep It Awkward

GERARD'S POV

We woke up the next morning tired as hell. Three shows in a row and a crazy ending to a long day yesterday. Exhaustion rushed over me as I opened my eyes to Jalyn on her knees next to me at my bunk-side.
"Get up asshole it's our day off" she said pushing the curtain back.
"Frank? Frankie? C'mon babe wake up" Hannah said trying to be sweet to Frank.
"I got this" I said remembering how I used to wake him up at sleepovers when we were younger. I shoved his curtain back and stuck my face directly over his.
"Frankie Frankie Frankster. Get up fatty" I said in spite of his twiggy figure. The whole thing backfired when Frank threw his head up and slammed me in the forehead.
"Ow you little fucker" I said putting a hand on my head and sitting back on my knees.
"How do you think I feel" he said sitting up and rubbing his eyes.
"Come on. I've got things planned for today we're going to a festival today and lunch at some cafe downtown" Kaitlyn said walking up the stairs and onto the bus.
"Are you serious?!? I thought a day off was supposed to be OFF" Ray said laying back down. Mikey still lay asleep snoring his head off.

I got out of bed and went to the little couch we had on the bus. Hannah was sitting on the couch with Jalyn in her they were looking at Pinterest pictures of band guys.
"Hey. You have band guys right here" I said sticking my face in front of the screen.  Jalyn slid her hand in my fading red hair and looked straight into my eyes the way only she could. Her big blue sad eyes right into mine.
"Yea, but with no band members to stalk, what kind of fangirl would I be?" She said still looking at me. I moved her into my lap facing me.
"The super cool one who's always WITH the band" I said back. She looked at me thinking.
".... stop being smart it's hard to argue" she said frustrated.
"Gwahhhh" we heard a voice say from the back of the bus.
"Mikey has arisen!" Ray said pushing Mikey into the front of the bus.
"Finally. Everyone go get dressed" Kaitlyn said getting up from the floor.
"Females come. Makes stay." She said leaving the bus to go to their bus.

After we were all dressed we left for the flowers day festival they were having in the big part of town. Music was playing and people were dancing and drinking. I start to look around and Kaitlyn already has a Budweiser in her hand walking around.
"Where did you- how did-.... I don't even wanna know" Mikey said confused at how fast Kaitlyn had found the booze. Me and Jalyn found a spot in the crowd and I spun her in circles and picked her up. She's so gorgeous, graceful. Her flannel shirt spun around her in waves and her nirvana shirt gave away her personality as soon as you saw her. The black shorts she was wearing made her look fun and the red ends in her hair gave off a don't mess with me vibe. She's my everything. The music that was playing was unfamiliar but it was drown out by the song stuck in my head. It's one of the band's songs, The Sharpest Lives. It always seemed to pop into my head when she was being goofy.

Give me a shot to remember
And you can take all the pain away from me
Your kiss and I will surrender
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead.

I thought of it when we played it on stage all of the time.

Juliet loves the beat
And the lust it commands
Drop the dagger
And lather the blood on your hands
Romeo.

Mikey walked back towards us with a unicorn stuffed animal and cotton candy.
"What even are you?" I asked looking at him.
"A child" he said walking towards the crowd.

FRANK'S POV

Me and Hannah walked towards the fun house mirrors and walked through them making funny faces at each other. She was almost skipping she was in such a good mood. Can I see your face? She said looking up at me. It was kind of weird to be with someone shorter than I am considering I'm the shortest of all the boys. I bent my knees so our faces were level. She ran her finger on the rim of my eye. She pulled her finger back and I stood as she wiped her finger on her pants.
"What was that for?" I said looking back at her.
"Your eyeliner looked dusty so I fixed it"
"Damn. You got my hopes up" I said putting an arm around her and walking around people.
"Ohhh you thought you were gonna get a kiss didn't you?" She said as if she was proving a point.
"Maybe" I said back.
"Well too bad!" She said grabbing my hands and facing me. She walked backwards and dragged me into a corner that wasn't crowded.

We stood there laughing at other people until it was time to go to the cafe. We all sat down and ordered drinks and food. We were talking about tomorrow's show in Colorado. When the food got there Ray and Mikey were playfully arguing about something. Only five minutes later Ray stood up and threw his water. He must have terrible aim because it soaked Kaitlyn instead of Mikey. Kaitlyn just laughed and threw water back on Ray. Gerard threw his water on Mikey and Mikey threw his water on Hannah. Hannah threw her water on Jalyn and Jalyn had Dr. Pepper so she couldn't really throw it on anyone. Being the only one dry I felt left out. I stood up and threw my water on myself... not a good idea... I'd rather be dry. The waiter came over and told us to leave because we had caused a commotion. Whatever. We all went back to the bus and spent the rest of the day on the couch watching Ellen and The Flash.

Hey! Sorry that was a crappie ending but I had a little writer's block anyway. Love you Killjoys!🖤🕷
