Mikey and Gerard sat lined up in the back of the glistening white car with Finley, who brushed his hair softly from his eyes as they were squished together as if they were sardines in a can. Finley often fell into Gerard when they swerved round the corners on the way to their new home but Gerard said it was okay as it wasn't his fault for being so god-damn lanky. Alex and Nick sat in the front of the car laughing and chatting gently as they whizzed down the motorway.

"Listen...." Began Finley, his voice hiding behind the blaring of the radio and Alex and Nicks conversation, "I wanted to give you this. A new start in live is difficult to get used to. Trust me, I understand...if you ever need to talk then you know where I am..."
He passed Gerard a cd case, the strange thing being that there was no colourful album artwork, just a simple plastic cd case. Mikey peered and a look of confusion formed on his face as Gerard opened the case to find a blank cd staring back up at them.
"Some people say write your own story..." Began Finley as he cleared his voice and pretended to make the inspiring speech to a huge crowd of waving fans, "but what if you're too lazy or simply cant write a good plot?"
The two boys shrugged.
"That's why I say...write your own music. Turn that blank cd that means nothing at the moment and make it mean something special to you."
"Oh," muttered Gerard taken aback a little, "um, thanks Finley."
"Ha!," laughed Finley as they pulled up onto the driveway, "I also got you these..."
He threw Gerard a notebook and tons and tons of coloured pencils and paints before turning to Mikey and handing him Paranoid by Black Sabbath and a Royal Blood album.
"Some pretty awesome bass in there to learn Mikes."
Mikey smiled but still confusion stuck to his face, "why are you giving us all of this stuff Finley? I mean, you hardly even know us."
"But I know and understand the situation that you guys are in and I want you to know that you are not alone and I am here. Okay? I work with Alex at the care home so....if you guys need then come and visit and we can talk..."
"Thank you..."
"It's okay.." Finley smiled as he opened the car door and hopped out onto the driveway.

Gerard took a deep breathe as he felt his feet touch the ground of the gravel driveway that led to his new home that stood towering and staring down at him from above. Alex and Nick were already inside so with Mikey and Finley in tow, he walked cautiously up to his new home and stepped inside.

Notes

Hello. Sorry, I said I was going to try and update regular and then I write this chapter and accidentally delete it: selecting the entire thing to copy and paste across but accidentally clicking paste (instead of copy) and deleting the entire chapter to paste: "sardines sardines" so sorry about that, this is the chapter re-written so its not that good. Thank you for reading though. :) x
