    It's Thursday today and I'm so sick of just sitting here twiddling my thumbs. Frank was meant to come today but couldn't make it because of another of his stupid band rehearsals. I texted him asking whether he wanted to meet up later instead but he still hasn't replied  so I'm just left here in my one bedroom apartment all alone again. I lost my job last week. I loved my job. I was a sales assistant at a record shop but the business went under due to unpaid bills and the like.

Frank has just replied with "K". I'm not surprised to be honest, he never seems to pay much attention to anything else when he's with the band. His band hasn't got a name yet and he said I'm not allowed to listen to the band until they do.

It's  now 11am on Friday and I've just been woken up by a huge noise outside. I wipe my sleep filled eyes and draw back the curtains. I look outside and see Frank, Gerard and Mikey standing in the middle of the road outside my house. Frank and Mikey have have their guitars and Gerard has a mic hooked up to a loud speaker. Gerard shouts," We are My Chemical Romance and we are going to change the music industry forever!" Mikey starts strumming a tune on his slick black guitar. I woop and cheer like a fan girl and then Gerard flicks his dyed black hair to one side and pulls the microphone to his mouth. He starts singing the lyrics "You're not in this alone; Let me break this awkward silence". I am amazed. I almost feel like I'm going to faint. Gerard has one powerful voice. I've never heard him sing before but wow. What a voice. The song went on for about 3 and a half minutes and the entire time I just couldn't believe what i was hearing. It's one of the greatest things I've ever heard and I'm not just being biased because they are my friends. When the song ended, Frank grabs the mic from Gerard and says, beaming with pride, " That song was Skylines And Turnstiles, I wrote it. What do you think Meg?"

"That was one of the best things ever!" I shout down. I run down the stairs, out of my front door and give Frank a big hug. Gerard and Mikey both make heart shapes with their hands and Gerard gives me one of his big cheesy grins.

He tells me that the band isn't complete yet as they feel they need a drummer and another guitarist.

I ran out in my bed clothes (Smiths T-shirt and shorts) so I'm rather cold. I invite them in for tea or coffee. At the mention of coffee I see Gerard's face light up. They all except the offer and come in.
