I Still Feel That Rush in My Veins (Chapter 1)

(Pete's POV)

"September 14, 2015!" Stacy giggled, clinging to her beau. "Why so long until the wedding?" I asked, stuffing my hand in my pocket & clutching onto my coffee cup. "There's just so much effort that has to be put into wedding planning, we're going to Puerto R-R-R-Rico first!" She rolled the "R" to emphasize her enthusiasm.

"That's.. so great!" I lied behind clenched teeth. "Do you have a special lady these days?" She asked, squeezing her hunky finacee's arm. "Uh, yeah! This .. coffee is for her! She's .. pregnant!" You just made up two life forms in 20 seconds, Peter. Good thinking. "Oh, Oh my God! Congratulations!" She hollered.

"Well, I gotta get going. You know, those hormones." I really don't know, because there is no pregnant woman in my hole of an apartment. Only a couple dozen empty pizza boxes and my thrift shop bass. "Well, I hope I see you around, bye Pete." She waved, I waved back and walked out.

Stupid ex-girlfriend and her hunky Ashton. And her fucking .. Puerto Rico! I groaned and walked in the frigid air. This sucks! I'm grieving over her while she's going to tan on a beach drinking margaritas with her her soon-to-be hubby. I'm such a fucking loser ..

I know it's been 8 months, I need to get over it. But how could she move on so quickly? We were together for a fucking year! What a bitch! God, I miss her. I need a girlfriend.. or a dog. How about both? Fuck it, I'm getting a dog.

Hope you liked it! Anyone else pre-order "AB/AP"? I am so in love with "The Kids Aren't Alright". I'm gonna be totally honest though, I don't like "American Beauty/American Psycho". I'm sorry! I just don't.. Great album so far though! I'm sure I'll get used to it.

"But the songs you grow to like never stick at first"

Title comes from "The Kids Aren't Alright" by Fall Out Boy, from their upcoming album "American Beauty/American Psycho" (2015)
