The only way I'll really smile is if you cut me ear to ear.

So. It's been 6 months since that... Happened. And I'm glad to honestly be back. I took a deep breath, inhaling the butter-y smell of popcorn. Microwaveable popcorn is awesome. Um...
Why don't we catch up on a few things?

I got my job at DC comics back. Best decision of my life. That and the decision I made to say 'Yes' to being Gerard's girlfriend. I moved into Gerard's house. Finally. And when I say 'finally' I mean it took us so long to get all my work into a suitable room, as well as clothing and important belongings (i.e. storm trooper suit). Chelsea and Oliver have visited more often now, bringing there bundle of joy with them. Ugh! Daniel! He's so cute!

Continuing on...

Frank met a new girl and fell in love (I tease him about it). Her name is Jamia. She's absolutely gorgeous and adorable! Ray had his fair share of women as well, including the photographer from our previous photo shoot together. I think he might like 'Lauren' a little too much. But he's cute when he has that dazed 'fresh in love' look, so I don't trouble him about it.

And finally.

The news you've all been waiting for.

I'm rad. Just... Uh kidding. Sorry.

Mikey and Taylor are going to be married in May. Around the time Spring ends. Which will be perfect. I have happily taken the role as 'Maid of honour' for Taylor. The bridesmaids were chosen from, Chelsea, Hayley and some girl named 'Veronica' that Taylor knew from work. Okay. So she isn't just 'some' girl. She's pretty cool. I met her before we started picking out dresses and wedding cake, so everything was cool.

I sat on my couch and sighed, silently eating the bowl of popcorn I recently made. My eyes searched the living room and landed on a small remote control. It was connected to the speaker. I snatched it from the coffee table and pressed a few buttons before soft music came on. I smiled and reached down to grab my laptop.

I checked the time. Ten at night. He should be on. I signed into Skype and combed my hair out of my face, checking the camera to see what I looked like. Presentable. A little cute? I got my fringe done and recently had to start wearing glasses. I rearranged my cardigan slightly and smiled when a familiar name popped up.

'Your baby' is calling...

I giggled at the name, small tears pricked my eyes. I miss him. It's been almost 5 months since I've seen him.

I answered the call and waited for his face to come up. And once It did, I felt my heart jump out of my chest. "Hey beautiful" he smiled, one side of his mouth lifting a little higher then the other. "Hi" I bit my lip and blushed. "I miss you" his eyebrows drooped down and he kept the smile on his face.
"I miss you too" I placed my hand on the screen and frowned at the contact of cold glass. A cute 'meow' was sounded beside me. I looked down to see Angel rubbing up against my legs. "Angel misses you too!" I lightly laughed and picked her up. Her soft white fur poked out from between my fingers. She was a munchkin/Persian kitten.

I heard Gerard's cute laughter through the computer. I placed the tiny kitten onto the cushion next to me. "How are you going?" He asked. "Well, Ben is working me to hell! I don't get any lunch breaks anymore!" I huffed out. "That's outrageous!" He said amusingly. "It is!" I agreed. "You're so cute when you get angry" he commented. "You're damn right I am!" I smirked.

"Well, enough about me! How are you and the guys?" I placed my chin on top of my hand and looked at the screen. "It's been... Busy" he looked around his bunker. "Busy? That's all?" I raised an eyebrow. He opened the curtain to his bunk and looked around. I frowned at his weird actions. "I think Mikey and Taylor had a disagreement" he whispered. "Wha- why!?" I exclaimed. He shrugged. "I hope it isn't serious" I mumbled looking at my lap. "Me either. But he's been really distant lately and everyone is worrie-" he stopped talking as the curtain to his bunk opened.

"Just because the curtain is closed, doesn't mean I can't hear you" Mikey's voice angrily spoke. My eyes widened and I looked at Gerard's horrified face. "Sorry Mikes" he whispered. Mikey pulled the curtain back further and looked at me. "Hi Charlie" he lightly smiled before disappearing. Gerard slowly looked at the ground before facing me.

"Uh-let's talk about something else?" I asked. He nodded and closed the curtain. "My, um, my comic is finished" I looked at the draft sitting on my coffee table. "It is? Do you have a spare copy?" His golden eyes were wide with excitement. "Yeah, I actually have two. One for DC and one for my use. I could send it to you?" I bit my lip, a habit of mine now.

"That would be amazing! I'd love to read it" he gushed. "I really want to see you" my heart felt like it was wrapping itself into a ball. "Me too. I mean, for me to see you! Not for me to see me... That'd be weird, because I could literally just look in the mirror and I'd be there-"

"Gerard honey, I understand" I chuckled. "Huh? Oh-Um, I'm being weird" he rubbed his face and groaned. "No you are not! You're being absolutely adorable" I said, making him look at me lovingly. "You lie" he squinted his eyes. "Does this look like the face of a liar?" I asked, drawing an imaginary circle around my face. "I don't know, I think it is" his smile was contagious.

"Wow, I might as well end the call now" I pretended to end it until he called out. "No! Wait! I was joking pumpkin!" He placed his hand out. "Pumpkin?" I blushed. "Ha, yeah" he smirked. He sounded out of breath, his white flushed face was filled with relief. "So where should I send my comic to?" I picked up the copy I had for my own use and showed him. "Uh, well we're travelling to our next destination so I guess you can send it to... Dallas?" He stared off into the distance and opened his mouth to say something before closing it. "Hey Frank!" He called out, poking his head out of his bunk. "Hey yeah!" Frank retorted.

"Where are we going next?" Gerard shouted. "Uh- I think we're going to Dallas" he answered. "Yeah, so send it to um... The house of blues" he sounded very uncertain. "Are you sure you're playing there?" I asked "Yeah! Of course I am!" He exclaimed. "Okay" I said, unconvinced. "Fine, I'll prove it" he poked his head back out of his bunk. "Hey Frank!" He called out once again. "HEY YEAH!" I flinched. "Are we- what are you wearing?" Gerard stopped and I could see his eyes looking up and down. "What? Not you too" Frank groaned. "Hey! I'm not judging you. It's cool for guys to wear dresses" Gerard shrugged.

"It isn't a dress! It's called a Nightie thank you very much! And it's comfy" Frank huffed. I rolled my eyes. "Whatever, can you tell me which venue we are playing at?" Gerard dismissed the dress. "The house of blues, why?" He sounded bored. "Just wondering" he said, a smug look on his face. He closed the curtain, completely ignoring Frank and looked at me. "I told you" he grinned. "Yeah, you still needed help finding out though" I poked my tongue out.

He brushed the hair on his face away and watched me through the computer screen. "What are you thinking?" I asked after a couple minutes of silence. "You. I-I just wish... I- forget it" he flicked his hand up. "No no no! Tell me what you were going to say" I rushed, giving him a concerned look. "I wish you were here" he sighed. "I wish I was too, but I have work! Plus I kind of have a wedding to plan" I mumbled, my eyes travelling to the massive piles of wedding magazines and folders. I could feel the procrastination running through my veins.

"I know! I just, wish we weren't talking through this. I want to actually see you" he pouted. "I guess I could go to Dallas and hand the draft to you..." I thought out loud. "Really!?" He sat up straighter. "But only for a day or two. I need to do more stuff on this wedding. Besides, I kind of need to ask Mikey a few things" I looked down at Angel. "Chelsea can look after Angel for those few days I'm away" I turned to look at the computer to see he was missing from his bunk. I frowned.

"Don't worry sweet heart, I'll be back!" I heard him call out. I chuckled and started giving the cute cat beside me a pat. "Finally. Jeez" I heard Frank's voice. The laptop was lifted and I couldn't help the grin that grew on my face as I saw my best friend. "Hey bud" I greeted him. "Hey cutie" he jumped into his bunk and placed the laptop down. "How are you?" I asked. "Pretty good, considering" he shrugged. "What does that mean?" I interrogated him. "It means that I- awe kitty!" Frank changed the topic once my cat appeared. I smiled and looked at the cat on my lap.

"She's a cutie, isn't she?" I smirked. "Hell yeah she is!" He agreed. "I can't believe you haven't met Angel before" I muttered. "Oh well, next time. Huh?" He smiled. "So, what were you going to say before?" I raised my eyebrows at him. "Oh, it's nothing" he sighed. I stared at him through the screen, showing him my 'Don't lie to me you dramatic fool'. He let out a long breath and pulled his hair. "It's- it's Gerard. I love the man. Seriously. But he needs to stop talking about you. Like its cute and all but I just- I can't. Are you coming to see us soon, please tell me you are. Because that boy needs to stop pouring his love onto us!" He raged. My eyes were wide with confusion.

"You know what he did to me last night?" He whispered, coming close to the laptop. I shook my head, telling him to continue. "He came into my bunk and kept on kissing my face! I thought he was messing around with me until he started whispering your name. He doesn't seem to remember it but I do" he looked out of his curtain. "That's... Actually really adorable" I blushed. "You're weird" he mumbled. "You love me though" I poked my tongue at him and he grinned. "You got that right!" He chimed.

"Hey, where's my girlfriend?" I heard Gerard's voice. "I'm over here, Gee" I called out. "No she isn't" Frank said after me. I giggled at his sudden reaction. "Give me my laptop back, Frank!" Gerard pulled the curtain back to Frank's bunk. "No!" Frank bundled the laptop into his arms, blocking my sight from everything but his ink covered shoulder. "Give it back!" Gerard whined like a little boy. Suddenly, the video before me started shaking. They were obviously fighting over the laptop. I sighed and rubbed my forehead.

"Charlotte's my Friend too, ya know" Frank pouted. "Well she's my girlfriend!" Gerard argued. "Fine! Take your stupid laptop! I love you Charlie baby" Frank shouted. "I love you too baby!" I giggled.
"Sorry, I had to tell our manager about you visiting for a couple of days" Gerard sat back into his bunk. "Right, that would probably be a good idea" I replied simply.

My phone began to ring. I looked over at it and sighed. "I better get going, I need to pack and apparently someone is in need of my attention" I told him, studying his features through the computer. "Oh. I'll see you tomorrow?" He asked. "Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow" I grinned. "I love you" he said. "I love you too" I clicked the end button and went after my phone. Just as I picked it up it stopped ringing. I groaned in annoyance.

"I gotta call Chelsea anyway" I dialled her number into my phone. "Hello?" Oliver's voice answered immediately. "Hey Oli, just wanted to call in to say that I need someone to look after Angel" I chimed. "Uh- sure, I guess we can look after her. Why?" He curiously asked. "I'm going to be away for a couple of days, is all" I shrugged. "Alright, do you want to talk to Chelsea?" I could hear Daniel crying in the background. "Baby, Charlie is on the phone" Oliver called out. "Charlie!? Oh my gosh. Take Daniel" Chelsea's voice shouted. I giggled quietly and waited.

"Charlie! Hey baby girl! How are you?" She spoke. "Hey Chels, I'm great! How are you and Danny?" I got off the couch, taking the bowl of popcorn with me and sat at the kitchen table. "Oh, we're great" she sounded happy. "Well, I was calling to tell you that I'm leaving for a few days-"

"Where?" She cut me off excitedly. "Just to Dallas, but I was going to see if you could take care of A-"
"Angel! Uh-huh, now back to Dallas. Why are you going there?" She seemed pretty uninterested about Angel, so I answered her questions. "Gosh, when you said you weren't going on tour with them, I thought you weren't" she said disappointedly. "I'm not going on tour with them! I'm just spending a day or two there. I need to ask Mikey some stuff about the wedding" I explained. "And to see Gerard" she added. "Yeah, but I'm mostly there to see Mikey" I rolled my eyes and started eating the bowl of popcorn. "Pfft and I'm not incredibly in love with Oliver Sykes" she sarcastically chided. "That's a lie" I muttered. "Yeah, just like when you said you were there to see Mikey. I bet you just finished a Skype call with Gerard and he begged you to come see him" she huffed.

"You're wrong" I lied. "Oh am I?" It was silent for a few minutes. I let out a long breath. "Fine! So we did Skype!" I gave up. "See! And he begged you to come, right?" She guessed. "No, he just said that he missed me" I pouted. "...look, I don't know about this... Trip? But you better not do anything bad. I swear every time you go on tour with those boys, something bad happens!" She chuckled.
"I'm not going on tour!" I argued for the last time.
