"Emmy?" I woke up as Jay called out my name and rolled over in my bed with a groan.
"What?" I snapped at her, I usually wasn't angry in the morning but if you haven't slept more than two hours then you get a little picky, blame me.
"Ehm, Mich and Chris is here, you were supposed to throw auditions for that missing guitarist in your band, right?" Oh shit.
I pushed the covers off myself and rolled out of bed in a hurry.
"Tell them I'll be there in fifteen minutes, k?" I begged her, she nodded while choking a laugh before she closed my door behind herself, little fucker.
After quickly changing and fixing my hair and face, I grabbed my purse and keys before leaving my room.
"Hi guys" I laugh as I approach them, just to instantly be pulled into a hug by Chris, squeezing me till I could barely breathe.
"Hi idiot" Mich laughed and pulled me into a hug after Chris finally let go of me, whereafter he waved at my mom who were showing herself, standing in the doorway of my room. She returned it with a small smile and a wave in our direction. No one else but her, Mich and I noticed this of cause. They weren't able to see her and never would they be so.
Chris grabbed my wrist all of a sudden and before I knew it, they'd pulled me with them to Mich's car, waving goodbye to Jay and was now speeding by incredible speed down some road since we were late already. Oops...
I never told you about Chris, did I?
I didn't think so either. Chris was our lead guitarist and he was a friend of Jay's. About a week after Mich and mine meeting, we decided that we would aim for gathering a new band and of cause I went to my beloved best friend with a request for guitarists since she knew about everyone worth knowing. The short with the long, Jay sat us up with a guy whom I later recognised as a guy who went to the same high school as me... Before I ran away of cause. Any who, he was perfect for the job and now all we needed to find would be a rhythm guitarist. I mean we could do without a rhythm guitarist but we'd rather not.
Chris with his long blond hair and blue eyes had quickly turned out to be the band's hyper and unserious member, always up for a prank or a joke if he saw the chance but serous and caring if that's what was needed.
"Wonder if it'll be possible to find anyone..." Mich muttered from the front seat as he drove towards the venue in full speed.
"We'll find someone and when we do, that someone will fit perfectly in our group!" Chris responded from the passenger seat, turning around in his seat to look back at me. "Right?!" He asked excitedly. I simply shrugged as an answer, who knows? Maybe we won't ever find someone who'd fit our personalities. Oh bother.
My ears were screaming to get away, we'd wasted hours now, listening to the flock of bad guitarists one after one and no one was even close to the point we needed neither in talent nor personality.
That's when this guy stepped in, he was Asian looking, with shoulder length black hair and wearing a BVB tee and some ripped black skinnies. From what was visible, it didn't seem like he had any piercings or tattoos which was uncommon in the rock community.
"And you're?" Mich asked before I got a chance and to be honest, I probably wouldn't have asked anyways.
"Adam" he responded with a smile, staring directly at me, probably taking in my shoulder length green hair and lip piercing. Or maybe he was just laughing on the inside over my appearance, slightly messy hair, no makeup, clothes that clearly was thrown on in a hurry and a mug with coffee which was the only thing keeping me awake.
I felt my cheeks heat up at his intense stare so I quickly looked away, suddenly finding a great interest in my coffee mug.
He just kept staring omfg!
Luckily, he finally lost interest in me when Chris asked him to begin and he instantly blew us away. This guy was gold! Exactly what we were in need of according to myself and a quick gaze towards Chris and Mich told me that I weren't the only one thinking so.
"That. Was. Awesome!" Chris cheered as he stopped playing, he'd even been playing Set The World On Fire so that was just a bonus.
"Well of cause have to contact you tomorrow to give everyone a fair chance, but I won't be shy to say that you have a good chance" Mich laughed, Adam instantly lit up in a smile.
"Thanks man!" He seemed happy about it.
"No thank YOU man" Chris responded and I rolled my eyes at him with a giggle playing on my lips.
He left after that and I knew that we'd all chosen already so now it was just getting trough the last three people and home to the amazing quiet life with a Disney movie and yay!
My plans were ruined by people conspiring against me and my most of the time quiet nature.
I didn't even get home before I noticed that something was odd, Mich and Chris was muttering about something and Chris kept peeking back at me from time to time, which only indicated that they were plotting something. As we finally reached Jay's apartment, I instantly noticed all the extra cars that normally didn't belong here, this could only mean ONE thing; the idiots were throwing me a partly for my 20th birthday even though I'd told them NOT to do ANYTHING special for me.
I hate them... Yet I love them to death.
"My revenge will appear before you even suspect it" I mumbled and they both giggled at me as they dragged me along.
Why was everything so bright and loud? Why did my head hurt like hell? Oh yeah I remember, the guys drank me under the table... I think.
I opened my eyes slowly, blinking a few times before they were able to adjudge themselves to the bright light of my bedroom. Apparently someone had brought me here after I passed out, how awkward was that?
Everything seemed so peacefully quiet in the early morning hours and I just took my time enjoying the peace and freedom the morning brought with itself. I was just thinking to myself, it was hard to believe that I was twenty, I was old all of a sudden but still not old enough to drink. Bother. Nothing really changed between the age of nineteen and twenty, except for what happens every year on your birthday; you're one year closer to death and further from birth. I still don't get why people find the need to make anything big out of that, society should be based on mental age, not physical age. A forty year-old dude could have the mental age of a teenager and a teenager could have the mental age of a forty year-old dude. Age meant nothing. Neither did races, sexualities, genders and thus.
Society and equality in this world was a lie anyways, people kept saying that we were equal but that's not true and never will be, people are too fed up with their ignorance and conservative minds.
I was dragged out of my lake of thoughts by the sound of someone muttering to themselves next to me on the bed. I truly am really observant, ain't I?
"Where am I?" A weirdly familiar voice croaked next to me, making me peek at him quickly and giggle quietly as I instantly recognized him. Of cause I also checked if both of us were dressed which we were, luckily... I wasn't a fan of one night stands to be completely honest.
"You're in wonderland, Peter" I told him in a high pitched Wendy Darling voice "and it's so beautiful here!" I exclaimed.
"I hoped I'd get to talk to you again, Emmylin" Andy laughed and sat up in the bed, rubbing his eyes. I found myself wondering how he'd ended up in my bed and when he'd even arrived at the party but I didn't ask, he probably wouldn't even remember anyways.
I hid my face awkwardly behind the big stuffed Stitch that usually slept in my bed with me and a bunch of other stuffed Disney characters.
He chuckled, he had a nice chuckle, all warm and heart filled.
I noticed my mom appearing at my door and grabbed a pillow next to myself, tossing it right through her head, making her stuck out her tongue at me before she disappeared completely again.
Andy looked weirdly at me since in his eyes I'd just randomly thrown a pillow at the door. He didn't ask questions though, he just accepted it.
Our eyes met and we stared awkwardly at each other for a while before I looked towards the door again, feeling me cheeks heat up, wishing that he wouldn't notice.
"You're blushing?" He laughed, of cause he'd notice and comment it. It's Andrew fucking Dennis Biersack goddammit.
"No" I muttered and hid my face again.
He chuckled yet again, "you're adorable."
"And you're annoying"
"Ow, you're hurting my feels" he exclaimed in a loud, overly 'hurt' voice... Which made me giggle. I hated my giggle.
"This is probably weird but... Do-"
He was cut off by the door slamming open and Jay looked inside, probably checking if I'd had a one night stand or just being a nice 'older sister' and making sure I was still in the apartment.
I think I heard Andy sigh heavenly and mutter a "Never mind" before Jay pointed a finger at him.
"You better not have touched Em while she was intoxicated or you're a dead man, Biersack." She threaded him I laughed and shook my head.
"Don't worry JayJay, we both woke up fully dressed" I assured her and she let out a deep breath, before smiling.
"Well then, I guess you guys want some coffee and some breakfast?"
"Yes please!" I jumped out of bed and pulled Andy along by his wrist without thinking about it further.
I didn't even know him all that well, yet I still kinda trusted him, I'm sure he'd become a great friend in a short time now that his touring finally came to an end, for now at least.
As we ate the breakfast that Jay so kindly had bought us, I kept peeking at Andy, wondering what he was trying to say when Jay stormed in and cut him off. I knew for sure that I couldn't get him to say it now but maybe it was important and I actually really wanted to know. Argh stupid Jay, couldn't she have waited for just a few minutes before barging in?! Oh bother.
"What?" Jay looked at me, oops, guess I mumbled oh bother out loud.
"Nothing, just me and my mind" I replied her she shook her head lightly and grinned at me. Stupid, stupid JayJay with stupid timing.
I loved her anyways though.
"Do you even pay attention to the world around you, girl?" Jay asked all of a sudden, I looked up at her and Andy, slightly startled.
"Ehm... What?" I asked confused, having been too far away in my own world to even acknowledging their company for a short time.
Jay looked kinda annoyed with me while Andy simply chuckled at the both of us.
"I said that we needed to go shopping later, the kitchen is basically empty and also, I need a new pair of jeans for that interview tomorrow" she repeated herself, talking to me like I was a five year-old brat. People tend to do that a lot around me, no matter who they are.
I sighed with defeat, well knowing that no matter how much I tried, I wouldn't win and get to stay at home anyways.
"You're like a damn kid, Emmy, did you really turn 20 yesterday?" Jay mocked me.
"Well that changes everything, I'm now a 'grown up' so now I'll magically act all responsible and be mom-like, thanks Jay" I replied sarcastic, "that just enlightened my mind"
Andy who'd kept more or less (and rather unusual from what i knew) quiet till now, chuckled. I say chuckle since it probably would've evolved into a laugh if not Jay had stared at him like some owl in the air while he was a mouse on the ground without a single place to hide. He choked, maybe that's the word I should use instead of chuckle.
"Btw Andy, since you so kindly decided to please us with your existence today, then we shouldn't let you off the hook either, now should we, Em?" She looked towards me quickly waiting for me to answer, I simply shrugged, receiving a sigh from her before she looked towards Andy again, "no my dear friend, us girls need a handyman to carry our things" I think she found herself incredibly funny while both Andy and I were too hangover to find anything like that fun.
"I really fucking hate you, you know that?" He asked Jay jokingly.
"I love you too"
I hope they're not in some romantic-ish relationship... Not that I was interested in Andy, uh no, I just wanted to befriend him... Yeah, that's it.
Friends.
