I wake up and sit up. I stretch a bit and look across from where I was sitting at the mirror and look at myself. I was a mess, I look down… hang on… I don’t have a double bed and I don't have a dark blue bedspread. I look to the other side of me and I definitely didn’t share my bed with someone else either. It was Frankie and he was sleeping … shirtless. I look at myself, I was shirtless too … and … Oh crap. I look around to room for my jeans, I find a pair but they weren’t mine … way too small … oh crap he must be … I finally stop my pants and get up and put them on quick. A pain in my head begins to release, It feels as if I had been hit in the head with a brick.
I hold my head and whine a bit in pain.
I continue looking for the rest of my clothes trying not to disturb Frankie. I find all of them including my briefs I quickly change into them and go into the living room. I then go into the kitchen and get myself a glass of water.
I didn’t … play around with Frank that much last night… did I?
I look around for some Panadol. God where the hell did he keep it? I search all the cupboards and draws in the kitchen.
“Second cupboard on the right with my other painkillers” Frankie says.
I jump when I hear his voice.
“Umm Hi” I say to him.
“Hey” he says with a smile “By any chance do you know where my shirt is?”
“Umm no” I reply trying not the look at his bare chest.
“You might wanna try the stuff in the yellow packet” he says “It’s stronger, I use it for hangovers so yeah”
He leaves the room.
I decide to take his advice and use the tablets in the yellow packet. I read the directions. ‘Take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours’.
I pop two tablets out the packet and take them with the water I had got myself. I put the tablets back and place the cup in the sink.
My head feels a tad better after taking them.
“Wow those tablets work quick” I say aloud so Frank can hear.
“Yeah well when I’m jamming you know you can’t have a headache or everything seems to sound like shit to you” He says “And serious where’s my shirt?”
“I have no …” I say and see his shirt on the TV.
I laugh.
“What?” he says entering the room and sees his shirt “Wow must have been some night”
He gets his shirt and puts it on.
“Do you remember it?” I ask.
“Vaguely” he says with a smile.
“Well I can hardly remember it” I say.
“Well, it was fun” he says and walks to his bedroom.
“What happened exactly?” I ask.
“Well … I’m guessing someone doesn’t want it to happen again” He says.
“Please tell me” I practically beg.
“Well love was made” he says with a giggle.
“Me and you?” I ask.
“Yep, and may I say your awesome but not my type” he says with another giggle “Too kinky”
“I didn’t mean it” I say sitting down.
He enters the room and sits next to me.
“You were drunk, not your fault, I took advantage and I’m sorry” he says.
“Huh?” I say.
“You had a boner the size of Mount Rushmore” he says with a giggle “And I took advantage of you”
“What the fuck?” I say with a laugh.
“Serious I’m sorry” he says.
“It’s okay, just keep your prying eyes away from my penis” I say with a laugh.
“Lets forget it all okay?” Frank asks.
“Okay” I say with a smile.
I look at the clock it was 11am.
“Damn I should go see Mikey” I say.
“Yeah I’ll see you later, I’m late seeing Hambone” he says.
“How did John get that nickname?” I ask.
“Long story” he says with a smile.
“Okay, I’ll see ya later” I say and get up and walk to the front door.
“Don’t forget your lyrics” he says coming up to me with paper.
He passes me them and I take them from him.
“Thanks” I reply.
I open the door and then close it behind me. I walk to my car and go home I don’t think I will ever be able to look and Frank the same way again. I shake me head trying to get rid of images I was having of Frankie and continue driving home.
(Mikey’s POV)
‘What is with Gerard and getting drunk all the time?’ I ask myself sitting on the couch staring into space.
I shake my head as I hear the door open.
“I’m sorry Mikes, …slept in” Gerard says.
“It’s okay” I say “Did you finish the lyrics?”
“Yep, we were trying to make some more but didn’t” Gerard replies.
“Okays, well I invited Ray and Matt over to help us a bit with, like, the name and stuff like that” I say.
“Okay cool” he says “But I need a shower”
“You're gonna have to wait they will be here soon” I say.
“I won’t be long” he says walking into his room.
No point arguing he could be stubborn sometimes.
He leaves his room and enters the bathroom.
I shake my head and turn on the TV and watch it a bit when I hear a knock on the door.
I go to the door and let Ray in.
“Hey” he says coming in.
“Hi” I reply and close the door.
I go to the bathroom door and knock on it.
“Rays here” I say
“Okay won’t be long” Gerard replies.
I hear a knock at the front door.
I walk back and answer the door.
“Heya, I gotta six pack” he says showing me the beer.
“Okay cool” I say and close the door after him.
Gerard comes out.
“Did I hear six pack?” Gerard says with a smile on his face.
“Yeah” Matt says throwing Gerard a beer.
Gerard catches it and opens it immediately and takes a long drink of it.
“Thanks” he says and goes into his room.
“Beer?” Matt offers to Ray and I.
“No thanks” I say.
“Nah, I’m fine” Ray replies.
“Suit yourself” Matt says and gets one out.
“I’ll put them in the fridge” I say taking the rest of the beers off Matt.
I take them to the kitchen and put them in the fridge.
I walk back into the living room and see everyone is sitting down, including Gerard.
“So” Gerard says.
“What’s the band gonna be called?” Matt asks.
“It’s … I have no idea” Gerard says.
“I got one … Nameless” Ray says with a laugh.
No one joins in.
“What?” he asks.
“So Mikey have you got an idea?” Gerard asks me.
“Umm I don’t know, why are you asking me?” I ask.
“Well your creative when it comes to names” he replies.
“Black Fire?” I say nervously.
“Now I know you're not trying” Gerard says with a laugh.
“Well … no, you're right” I say “But we don’t need a name right now”
“True” Ray says “Do we have any lyrics?”
“Yeah” Gerard says getting up quickly and going to his room, obviously getting them.
“They are really good, he was over Frank’s last night perfecting them” I say.
Gerard enters the room again and passes them to me.
“So what did you add?” I ask skim reading.
“A chorus pretty much, Frankie said that’s all it needed” Gerard replied.
I pass them to Matt.
“That’s awesome” I say, “It ties in so well”
“Yeah, I guess” Gerard replies “But we need more”
Matt passes them to Ray.
“Dude did you write that?” Matt asks.
“Yeah” Gerard replies.
“It’s … wicked” he says.
“Thanks” Gerard replies “But serious we need more then just one song, also we need to have like sound”
“How about we write a couple more songs then put music to it?” I suggest.
“Yeah, good idea” Ray says, “Also mad work on the lyrics, and what’s it going to be called?”
“Thanks once again” Gerard says “How about Skylines and Turnstiles?”
“Sounds good to me” Ray replies.
We get out some more paper and begin to work on some new songs.
