Roommates

Tuesday.

It's Tuesday, 3:35am. Me and Mikey are awake and lying in bed staring at the ceiling. I sighed. I had this weird melancholy vibe. "What do you do when you're sad, Mikey?" Mikey shrugged. "I hang around you or do something I like." He answered. I nodded. "Why?" "I dunno. I feel a little sad. I don't know why." I whispered. He looked over at me then pulled me into a hug. "It's okay. I get like that sometimes." I shoved my face in his chest and wrapped my arms around him. I felt like I could cry but I had no reason to cry. I just felt like doing it. "I feel like crying." I mumbled in his chest. "Then cry, let it out." "But I have no reason to cry." "You don't need a reason to cry. If you feel like crying, cry." He whispered. I sighed and closed my eyes. I tried not to but I did it anyway, I cried. He squeezed me tighter and rubbed my back.

I stopped sobbing but tears were still rolling down my cheeks. "Are you okay now?" Mikey asked. I shrugged. "Okay." He whispered. "Hey Brie?" "Yeah?" "I've noticed you haven't sleeping at all lately. Is that normal?" Mikey questioned. I thought for a moment. "Not really." I whispered. "Especially since I'm half human, it's not normal." He pulled back and gave me a worried look. "Have you even tried sleeping?" I shook my head no. "You need to try." I giggled. "What?" He asked. "You sound like a parent telling their kid to go to the bathroom." He gave me a weird look. "Well let me be more specific then, you need to try and go to sleep." He smiled. "But I'm not tired." I groaned. "It's been almost a week since you've slept. How are you not tired?" "Well I'm a little bit tired but not sleepy." I said. "What?" "I feel worn out, not sleepy." "Oh. Well I'm sleepy so if you don't mind I think I'm going to sleep." He whispered. I nodded. "That's fine." He kissed me and fell asleep almost immediately.

Now that everyone is up, I'm feeling sleepy. I don't want to sleep because the boys could be planning on going somewhere or doing something and I don't want to miss out or ruin it.

I was right when I thought they'd go somewhere. But they didn't just want to go they needed to go. It was dealing with their music is all I know. "Come on, we have to go. Brie you want to come?" Gerard said. "Where?" "We have to go to a meeting for our new album." He said. "I guess I'll go." I shrugged. "Cool, now come on." He said, rushing out the door.

*Frank's P.O.V.* (I have it in his pov because I'd be the only way to work)

We arrived to the place we were having our meeting at. I've been through this before but I'm still nervous. What if they don't like the songs? Gerard would have done all that work for nothing. He'd be disappointed and that's never okay. If he's disappointed we're all disappointed. Brie might even be disappointed. "Frank, come on!" Someone said. I looked over and saw Ray standing at the door, holding it open. "Coming, sorry." I mumbled.

We all sat down at a small oval shape table. Bob was already there. Every one of us looked nervous yet excited. Except Brie, she looked tired but also a little bit excited. "So, you guys are working on a new album yes?" Our manager said. The five of us boys nodded. "Well of course you boys..." Brian trailed off. He was looking a Brie who looked as if she was in a different world. "Who's this?" Brian asked. "That's Brie, Mikey's girlfriend and our roommate." Gerard answered. "So she's not a new member of the band." Brian made sure to confirm. We all nodded. "She does take photos and stuff of us because she's a, uh, she's a photographer." Ray said. Brian nodded. "Anyway, you boys know that we need to hear what you've came up for your album." Gerard has written a few songs. We've only played Welcome To The Black Parade though. Brian led us to the music room so we could play the song. We grabbed our guitars, went to the drums and stood in front of the mic's. "So, Welcome To The Black Parade?" Brian asked. We nodded. He gave us a thumbs up and Gerard started to play.

They loved it. They loved the song. They loved how we put our hearts in everything we did. Brie sat at a couch still looking tired but with a big smile on her face. She was looking at all of us but her eyes would linger on Mikey a bit longer. I laughed at that. They are cute but just too loud, if you know what I'm talking about. The five of us piled out of the room and sat down on the leather couch with Brie. Too bad I was sitting beside her and not Gerard. She probably thought the same with Mikey. Brain and some other people were talking in a different room. I felt something lightly fall on my shoulder. It was Brie's head. I looked over at her to see what she was doing. I softly laughed when I saw her eyes closed. "Hey Mikey, your girlfriend is asleep on my shoulder." I said. He looked over at us from the other end of the couch. He sighed. "At least she's asleep. She hasn't slept in almost a week." "Isn't that normal for a vampire?" Gerard said in a quiet voice. Mikey shook his head. "She said it wasn't especially since she's half human." I looked over at her. She had dark bags under her eyes. Brian and the other people came out if the room. He looked at Brie then said in a quiet voice, "We love the song and can't wait to see what else you come up with. Keep writing, keep practicing and call us whenever you want to meet again about the album." I looked over at Gerard who had a huge smiled on his face. His smiled made me smile. "You guys can go now. I think someone needs to get to a bed." Brian smiled. We nodded and all stood up except me. I didn't want to wake Brie up. That would be rude and she'd probably bitch slap me. Mikey walked over to us. He shook brie awake and let me get up. "Come on, we're leaving." Mikey told Brie. She groaned and threw her head back. We all laughed at her stubbornness. "Brie come on, we aren't leaving you here." She closed her eyes and whined. "Oh my gosh." Mikey mumbled. He picked her up and turned to us. I held back my laughed and followed behind Ray.

*Bries P.O.V.*

I woke up being carried up stairs. I lifted my head and realized Mikey was carrying me up to our apartment room. "Mikey." I whisper. He looked over at me and smiled. "How long was I asleep?" I asked. "Maybe twenty or thirty minutes." He said. "Not that long." I nodded and laid my head back on his shoulder. When we got inside our apartment Mikey carried me straight to my room. "What are you doing?" I asked when he laid me on the bed. "Letting you go back to sleep." He said as he put the covers over me. "No!" I tried arguing but a yawn stopped me. Stupid sleepiness. "I don't want to go back to sleep." I whined. "You need to sleep, Brie. You need more than just thirty minutes of sleep when you haven't slept in almost a week." He was right. "Fine, but only if you stay in here with me." I said, crossing my arms. He rolled his eyes. "Fine. I'll just sit at your desk, now go to sleep." I nodded and shut my eyes when he sat down, falling asleep as quickly as Mikey fell asleep last night.
