You're Never Just A 'Nobody'

When 6 weeks came in, I decided I wanted to stay in Australia for another month. My art work was selling incredibly fast, I didn't have an opportunity like that in the U.S, and really, I didn't realize how much I missed it here. The beaches, the people and the calming atmosphere.

After having the talk with Gerard, we kept in touch with eachother, but about a week ago we didn't call or check up on eachother because we were just so busy. He was getting caught up with his job and so was I.

My job went from 9am-5pm, and then occasionally I'd have to go out and sponsor my artwork, bur when I didn't I just crashed on my bed and went to sleep when I got home.
It was extremely lonely without Maggie here, she's the only one at our apartment, but I could imagine Frank would be 24/7.

I felt slightly guilty about not keeping in touch with her; I mean we were best friends. I picked my phone up from me bedside table and dialed her number,

"Hello?" Her voice interrupted nothing.

"Hey, Maggie. It's Ava."

"Ava! My god it's been forever!" She exclaimed, we agreed that it had been forever. The conversation continued to flow, I told her about my art work, how long I'll be here for and when I'll be going back. She told me about her and Frank, and the band, mentioning a few things but the one that struck me most was that they were touring.

"Really? Gerard didnt tell me he was touring..." I said, my voice very quiet.

"Wait you and Gerard still talk?" She asked, sounding a little surprised.

"Yeah, well we did. He told me he was getting caught up with his job, nothing about touring."

"Job? He quit about 3 weeks ago when My Chem was getting out there."

Wait. Why wouldn't he tell me this? I left and he just doesn't want anything to do with me?

"Oh. Okay. Well I hope they're enjoying their shows and shit."

"Yeah, I'm actually with them right now-"

Whut.

"-And their shows are fucking fabulous. You have to come once you're back over here." She continued. I didn't notice it but you could hear light muffles in the background.

"Yeah I will.." I made sure she could hear the annoyance in my voice. We continued talking for a while, and then she had to leave.

I laid back on my bed and felt loneliness kill me.

--------- 4 weeks later bc nothing happened ---------

"AVALON!!"

"MAGGIE!!!"

Tears welled up in my eyes as we took eachother in out embrace.

"Your Australian accent is stronger since the last time id spoken to you."

"I guess that's what happens when you're away for 3 months." I say, taking my suitcase in my hand as we made our way to the parking lot. Maggie had ordered a taxi to take us to our apartment. She had caught me up on all the gossip around N.Y, most of what I wasn't interested in but pretended to listen anyway.

The late summer air filt the area, the sun was just starting to set, creating a yellow-orange colour in the sky.

When we walked through the door, the first thing that caught my eye in the apartment was the size of the mother fucking lounge room.
It. Was. Huge.

Maggie had explained that she had moved out of the small affordable one we had and changed it to this.
I wasn't complaining.

She helped me unpack my things into my room, it was a very large room.
Take it back.
The whole apartment was huge.

"Okaaaaay lets go get dinner and watch some movies!" Maggie beamed. I followed her into the lounge room and awaited for my pizza.

"So," I started, "How's um, the guys going?" I asked.

"Good, good. They have a new drummer though, he's pretty fucking cool though." She went into further conversation on how they were.

"We can visit them tomorrow if you'd like?"


"Yeah, that'd be great actually" I smiled at her.

We continued watching television and eating most of the night, but there was one thought distracting me from it all,
I'm going to be seeing Gerard tomorrow.
