Who Are You?

Chapter 9

I was sat in a glass office. It had a mahogany desk and leather chairs occupied by my brother, friends, Brian and some guys in suits. Gerard was talking to the guy at the end sat in front of this little TV that had a picture of some album cover. The cover had a guy and a girl drawn on it. I was zoned out until my brother shouted “IT’S IMPOSSIBLE.” I tuned back in, jumping as his chair fell backwards as he stood up “We can’t record a new album at the moment. Our lead guitarist had a broken arm and our bassist has amnesia. We don’t even know if he can still play and we won’t know for another month. We can’t do it.”
“Mr Way, when you signed that contract you agreed to have an album out within the first three months.”
“When I signed the contract I didn’t know my baby brother and his boyfriend were going to be in a car crash.”
“Gerard, calm down.” Brian said.
“No I won’t calm down; we’re being given orders that are just impossible to carry through.”
“Gee, relax.” I said calmly. He sat down and I turned to the guy my brother was shouting at “I apologise for my brothers behaviour but it has been a hard couple of weeks for all of us but Gerard especially. I know you want your album but you have to see that we can’t do it right now.”
“Of course. We’ll have to put off the album for 8 months because that’s when the studio is next free. I guess I can set up some live shows on your old album until then.”
“Thank you.” Brian said standing up. We all followed and left, leaving me to go last. I got in the front of the car with Gerard, Frank in the back and the others in Bob’s car.
“Hey, remember to get Oli’s address.” Gee reminded me.
“Oh yeah.” I got out my phone and started texting him.
Hey Oli, just left meeting.
Alright Mikes, My address is 27 Arlington Street.
Kl be there soon.
I told Gee the address and we set off.

10 minutes later I was outside Oli’s house, Gerard by my side. The door flung open and Vic (?) was there.
“MIIIIKKKKEEEYYY.” He flung himself onto me and into a hug. I stumbled into Gerard slightly.
“Hey Vic.” “Vic, is that Mikey?” I heard Oli call from inside the house.
“Yeah, and he brought a friend.” Oli appeared behind Vic.
“Hey, I’m Oli.” He held his hand out to Gee.
“Gerard, nice to meet you. I can’t stay I just wanted to make sure Mikey got here ok.” Gee said shaking his hand.
“So you’re his brother. I guess you’re quite protective of Mikey.”
“Well yeah.”
“Ha!” Vic laughed.
“Like you can talk Vic, I’m surprised you let Mike out of the house without being wrapped in cotton wool.” Vic glared and walked inside the house. Gerard gave me a quick hug and left. I hobbled into the living room which had two sofa’s, one was occupied by Vic and Kellin, I sat on the other one with Oli sitting next to me.
“The last one of us is here, let the games begin.” Kellin declared. What did I get myself into?

Notes

I'm sorry this has taken so long. I had no weekends free and then I was away for two weeks with no internet and I have just been so busy, Please don't hate me. Be amused that the first step back into the internet after two weeks was, Franks new video. I forgot how weird the internet was.
