Don`t make me jealous, Gerard.
Rehearsal
Beep....beep....beep.
Slamming my hand down on my alarm clock, I stretched and rubbed my eyes. I glanced at the corner of my room, flash of red hair. Huh? I rubbed my eyes once more and peered into the corner.
"Aw man, Frankie, Your breathe smells gross. Drinking won't solve anything." Gerard stood in the corner of my room taking a swig of my beer.
"Gee!" I ran at him, I went to hug him but...he disappeared.
Ding ding.
I jumped on to my bed and stretched over to reach my phone. 5 new tweets and 1 message, from Bob.
'Frank, where are you?'
'What do you mean?'
'I mean what I said, where are you? Rehearsal started 10 minutes ago!'
'Be right there!'
I fumbled with the keys to the studio trying to balance my guitar and my folder and my backpack. I scanned round the room, no Gerard.
"Hey guys, where's Gee-I mean Gerard?"
"He's off sick, flu or something, he wouldn't let me in his room." Mikey sighed and plucked at his bass.
"Oh right."

I’d be interested in an updated version...I like rereading fics when the writer's come back after a long time, it’s nice to see how people have changed/grown as writers.
I reread my own old fics on occasion...but they just make me cringe and want to delete them.
