In The Mourning
Part Twenty-Two
I miss Blair.
The band will be leaving tomorrow for our last tour for a month and instead of practising, Blair was the only thing that I could think of. I kept on messing with the chords and lyrics and Bob was getting tired of me not getting my shit together. Luna has been calling me since the day she saw Blair. I am positive that the baby isn't mine but I was drunk. How the fuck can I remember what the hell happened that night.
"Get you shit together, Frank", Bob hissed.
I just ignored his comment and continued playing 'Helena'. This sond reminded me of her. It was her favorite song. Whenever she sleeps over, she'd ask me to sing the chorus until she fell asleep. My bed feels a lot bigger now. Everything in the house reminds me of her.
After rehearsing for what it felt like 100th time, we decided to call it a day. Well.. Bob did. He gave up after I messed up with The Ghost Of You. Gerard just shook his head and kept quiet and as for Mikey.. We just stopped talking after Blair broke up with me.
Our first stop was in Argentina for Lollapalooza. Everyone was so busy socializing with other bands while I just sat in the tour bus and listened to music. I wasn't in the mood to meet anyone or talk to anyone.
"Dudeeeee, Frank. What the fuck. Why aren't you outside?", A familiar voice said from the entrance of our tour bus. I instantly knew it was Adam from Taking Back Sunday.
I stood up and walked towards him before giving him a high-five.
"What's up, Adam? Good seeing you, dude", I said.
"Good to see you too, dude! Anyways, congrats Frank!", he said.
I was confused. Why was he congratulating me?
"What do you mean?", I asked.
Adam's smiled vanished after my question, "I heard about Luna.. Everyone has been talking about it, man!"
"Oh", that was the only thing I could say. I didn't know how the news spread but I quickly changed the topic. We agreed to meet up later with the rest of the guys to have some beer. After half an hour, the rest of the guys entered the tour bus and I quickly asked them who tell everyone about Luna.
"Dude, don't look at us. Luna has been parading her pregnant belly", Ray replied
"Wait, she's here?", I nervously asked.
"Yeah man, we thought you knew", Gerard replied and took another sip of his beer.
"She told everyone that you knocked her up just before you met Blair", Bob added.
I looked at Mikey. He was sitting on his bunk bed. He didn't even bother looking at me. He just played with his cellphone and occasionally smiled. I wonder if he was messaging Blair.
"No, I didn't know."
"Get your shit together, Frank.", Bob coldly replied and left the tour bus.
That night, we had dinner at a local diner with the rest of the guys. As usual, Mikey wasn't talking to me but he had his hands and eyes glued to his phone. I was getting curious of who he was contacting. I know it was none of my business but next to me, Blair was really close to Mikey but after a while, I gave up and just figured I shouldn't care.
"Who the fuck have you been texting, Mikes? YOU BARELY JOINED OUR CONVERSATION!", Gerard said while trying to grab's Mikey's phone. Mikey obviously was surprised and snatched it before anyone else could see it.
"Fuck off, Gerard. I caught Bob flirting with Juliet from Automatic Loveletter", Mikey quickly switched subject.
"What?! You tried to flirt with Juliet?", Gerard said.
Bob looked at Mikey and said, "What the fuck Mikey?! I was just talking to her okay. Nothing more than that", Bob blushed.
Mikey chuckled and put his phone down. After a while, all of us started joking about the things Bob do. One thing about Bob, he looks like a serious person but he's far from that. We were talking about the tour when I saw Mikey's phone lights up.
