~Pete's POV~
I was sitting on Julia's couch with my arm around Anna. Us and Joe, Andy, Patrick, Pete, Julia, are all watching Batman. Everyone else from the party went home, and honestly I like it better with just us. I may come off as a party guy, but nothing compares to a quiet evening alone.
Patrick's cell phone started ringing, and he motioned to us and walked out of the room. I wondered who was calling him this late? I exchanged a look with Anna. She raised her shoulders and snuggled in closer to me. That would've been nice, but got interrupted by a yelling Patrick.
"THE ALBUM HAS SOLD OVER 2000 COPIES ALREADY! AND ITS ONLY BEEN A COUPLE HOURS!"
"W-what?" I choke out, sitting up.
Joe starts cheering like crazy, and Andy asks Patrick the details.
"Did Bob call you?" Andy asked. Bob was our manager.
"YES!" Patrick replied, laughing crazily.
"That's so great babe!" Julia said, throwing her arms around Patrick.
"Pete?!" Anna shook me.
"Yeah?" I replied faintly.
"Are you alright?" She said, sounded worried.
I laughed and snapped out of it. "Yeah! Just super shocked and surprised and happy all at the same time!"
"Thats so awesome, Im so proud of you guys!" She said, putting her arms on my neck and kissing me.
"Get a roooom!" Called Joe.
"Woah guys check it out!" Andy said, and the screen on the TV changed to the ITunes page of From Under The Cork Tree.
"2110 whole albums sold. The most popular song is Sugar, but following closely is Dance Dance." Andy said.
"WOOOO!" Patrick yelled.
I grinned. "2111!"
We watched the number go up, like grown men watching a football game. Cheering loudly every time the number grew, eating a ton of pizza, and fist bumping constantly.
Patrick's cell phone started to ring again. "It's Bob! Everyone shutup, Im putting him on speaker!"
"Hey Patrick." Bob's deep voice called.
"Hi Bob! You're on speaker." Patrick said. "Pete, Joe, Andy, Julia, and Anna are here."
"Oh hey guys! Listen I just got news from the record label and they want Fall Out Boy to go on tour in a month! How awesome is that? You guys will finally get the recognition you deserve." Bob said excitedly.
"W-wow.." Patrick began. But none of us could really get a word out. I mean it was TOUR for crying out loud.
"Yep. More details to come tomorrow. Well I'll let ya go. Night everyone!" Bob said disconnecting.
"Tour." Joe repeated. "We're going on tour."
"HECK YEAH!" I yelled and we all had a huge group hug while screaming our lungs out.
"W-wait a sec.. You guys are gonna be gone in a month?" Julia asked, her voice suddenly filled with worry. Everyone's happy faces immediately transformed to horrified.
"Y-you can't just leave.." Anna's voice and facial expression broke my heart even more than the night of the dance.
~Anna's POV~
Julia was the first one to realize the reality of the situation- Yes, they were going to become famous and go on tour and everything awesome like that. Don't get me wrong, I was overjoyed for them. But the only thing was.. We were in highschool. No way Julia and I were going to be allowed to completly ditch school and go with them. We would be left behind and... forgotten.
