Patrick
First day of college
I'm not actually starting college today.
"PATRICK YOUR FUCKING PHONE IS RINGING-"
Or ever for that matter, I think.
"FRANK SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
"GERARD YOU'RE SCREAMING TOO!"
Frank pops in my room, chucking my phone as me. He runs away as i watch Gerard try to tackle him from behind.
I chuckle. It's the first week of the three of us being roommates in Chicago, and I'm so ready for the shit storm of an idea this is.
I look down to see the contact of the dude with the heart painted on his cheek and the boy laughing at him in the background. Brendon's laughing face is everything.
"Hey, Dallon. What's up?"
"Patrick, guess what."
I inhale, "aliens are invading."
I hear him snort though the phone, "no idiot."
I chuckle, "then what?"
There's a point silence, then the booming of his voice scares me.
"ALL THE KINGDOMS ARE GONE!"
It only processes a moment later, and the biggest smile plasters across my face.
"HOLY SHIT THAT'S AMAZING!"
"I KNOW RIGHT??"
"AGHHH, DAL HOLD ON-"
I take my phone away from my ear and scream for Gerard and Frank.
"DAL GOT RID OF THE KINGDOMS!"
To which I received a 'FUCK YEAH' from Frank from another room.
I put the phone back up to my ear, "god, things are just working themselves out...it really does get better."
Dallon chuckles, "I know. First you, Frank, and Gee get the apartment; then your mom gets out of the hospital and moves back in to you and Darrin's house; and now this!"
I feel like I'm going to cry—happy tears.
"Holy shit, yeah." I chuckle.
"Okay, Patrick, I'm really happy for you. I'm gonna go now. Have a good day."
I smile, "you too, Dal. Bye."
"Bye."
Then he hangs up, and I sigh out shakily. I keep my eyes focused on my phone, it reading 'June 6th.' Dallon, Brendon, Tyler, and Josh's last day of school. Dallon and Bren are gonna be seniors and Tyler and Josh are gonna be Sophomores I believe? Maybe Juniors, I don't know.
Beside the date, my lock screen also reads 'Friday.'
I see Gerard, laughing and running into the living room slowly. He's panting. Then I see Frank tumble in as well, and i smile.
"do I want to know?"
Gerard snorts, "probably not."
"Okay."
Frank falls back on the couch, his feet landing in my lap. He breathes heavily. Gerard sits on Frank's stomach.
"fuCKING OW." Frank screams.
"Ah," Gerard sits back peacefully, "you guys wanna visit Pete and Travie today?"
I feel my heart sink a bit.
