chapter VI

song: bed of roses, bon jovi

10 minutes after Luke left, I hear a knock on my door. In front of the opened door is Luke but now dressed in black skinny jeans and a blink-182 shirt.

"You had to, didn't you?"

"What? Wear my blink shirt? Of course I had to. We are going to the record store you were talking about. You work there, don't you?", he asks and I nod. I indeed work there and it was sort of a escape for me. Music had always been a way for me to escape my problems and my life. Everything is so much easier with music. I take my bag with my purse, phone and some other things and take Luke with me out of the apartment.

Suddenly my phone starts ringing.

"You like Panic! At the disco?", he asks, irritated by my ringing tone(Let's kill tonight) and I nod, answering the phone.

"Hello?"

"Is this Elle talking?"

"Yes it is. Who are you?"

"I'm sorry, I'm Michael. I'm Luke's friend. Do you remember me? The one who asked where Luke is and well I may be about to ask you this again"

"He's at my flat. He stayed over and we found out that he lives next to me. We just never met each other"

"Thank you, could you tell Luke that I want to meet him at 5pm at my flat? I have to talk to him!"

"Of course. Bye"

"Bye"

"Who was that?", Luke asks, looking confused.

"It was your friend, Michael. He wants to meet you at 5pm at his flat"

Luke nods and I put on my shoes. We leave and Luke nearly stumbles down the stairs and I laugh at him. He seems to be very clumsy.

When we arrive at the record store, we automatically walk to the punk section looking for blink-182 CDs. I already have most of them but one is missing.

"I looked through your collection and I saw that you were missing the newest album, Neighbourhoods", he said and waved at me with the album in his hand.

"I really missed that one. I listened to a few songs the other day and wanted to buy it anyways bit I just couldn't find the time"

"So... You like Panic! At the disco?", he asks and walks over to another section to find Panic! At the disco CDs.

"I love them but I just recently found out about them. God, I don't even have three CDs. I have like one but I just love it"

"I have all. Do you want me to give them to you?", he asks and I stare at him like he's an alien.

"You would do that? I never had a music buddy. Everyone always listens to pop music. I used to but o gladly got on the right way. I don't even understand anymore how I could listen to this... Shit"

"Of course I'll give them to you. And I know what you're talking about", he says and laughs.

"Okay what are your favourite bands?", he asks.

"You do know that you just asked something that will take 8 hours to answer?!"

He nods, waiting for me to answer.

"Panic! At the disco, green day, blink-182, Queen, Coldplay, The 1975, Arctic monkeys, All Time Low, Mayday Parade, Fall Out Boy, The Killers, The Fray and then I like some songs from various bands. I also may have forgotten some names because I just like so much music"

"We are soulmates", he says and I smile. He's just cute and I might develope a tiny crush on him.

We wander around the record store for about one hour until we leave to go home. I really liked this day with Luke and we even bought some CDs to listen to together.

"I had a nice day Elle. I hope we can do this again some day. Michael is waiting, I netter leave now", he says, smiling.

I close the door and sink down on the couch.

Bed of Roses is plating softly in the background when I suddenly hear cries coming from a direction that means nothing good.
