So at last nights rehearsal, I noticed something a little weird. Well, more then a little weird, it was kinda driving me insane.
Me, Frank and Mikey were strumming in the middle of the room, playing 'Our Lady of Sorrows'.
Fun song to play.
Bob was listening to his headphones on the sofa in the corner with his eyes closed, his head going to the beat. This was what usually happened at rehearsal. But then I noticed Gerard.
He had pulled Steph to the side of the room, an they were talking very quietly and intensely.
They talked for a good half hour, following a weird repetative pattern.
Every so often he would put his head down, as if he was ashamed of himself.
Then she'd say something that would make him smile at her.
Then they'd both burst out laughing, almost crying.
Then it would happen again.
What the...?
I knew Steph had gone round to Gerards house....But that was to dye his hair.....
It was looking pretty good, to be honest. Short and black, no longer in his eyes.
But was that the real reason she went round....?
Was there something going on there....? Or am I just really paranoid?
I shook the thought out of my head, and continued playing my guitar.
I looked up every so often.... to see them laughing together.....
I was suprised at how much it stung.

"Are you sure she would've enjoyed herself?" he asked me intensley, keeping his voice low.
"Yeah, Gee, " I rolled my eyes, "I'm posotive she had an awesome time." He looked down.
"Your absoloubtley sure?" he repeated. I found his eyes and made him look at me.
"Am i ever wrong?" I raised an eyebrow and he smiled.
"No, your right most of the time...." i raised the other eyebrow at his reply.
"Really....? I'm actually wrong most've the time...." I said. He laughed and I joined in, his laugh was pretty contagoius, something I'm sure Lindsey would have learnt by now.
"You did take her to the field I showed you, right? Its the perfect place for stargazing." It was one of my favourite places in the world.
I was truly proving my friendship with Gerard, letting him know about it.
"Yeah...." he smiled dreamily. "That was fun..." I laughed, bringing him out of his daydream. "What?"
"Nothing, just your facial expression there was kinda funny...." I said smirking.
For some weird reason he put on an italian accent. "My facial expressians do tend to be vunny...." He looked at Ray for just a sec while he said it. I followed his gaze.
Ray, who was staring at Gerard before, quicky turned away and continued strumming.
"Now madame, I fink we better go, or somevone's boyfriend vill get suspicious...."
"So when are you gonna bring her to rehearsal?" i asked him one last time, running through our plan.
"Tomorvow morning...."
"And how are you going to enter?"
"Lauving casually, having told LindZ, a joke...." I laughed at him this time.
"Vot are you lauving at?" he asked.
"The way you said her name there, sounded like you said Lind-Z instead of Lindsey...."
"Mayvee I vill call her that from now on....If I can get rid of zis accent, its incredivly hard to stop...."
We went to join the others in the middle of the room, laughing.

So I'd had a pretty weird few days, but at last we were back to some kind of normality.
Or whatever we considered normal.
In that case not normal for most people.
But normal for us..... Sort of.
We were in the warehouse, reahearsing on our usual schedule. It was half ten in the morning, we were still half asleep, but able to strum a few notes. Me, Ray and Frank were in the middle of the room, practising 'Welcome to the Black Parade' and considering other songs for the album.
I swear Steph was drawing a portrait of Bob in the corner, as I had never seen him sit as still. And he didn't usually pose with drumsticks, unless he had a drum kit in front of him. Even then his facial expressions were a bit wild.
She was a very talented artist, possibly better then Gerard. I hated to admit it, but my brother could almost work miracles with a pen and paper. Or at least work comic books.
Gerard was late today though, a rare occurence for him.
We had been through almost six songs with just back in vocals and the occasional song sung by Ray, when Gerard burst through the door, laughing.
He was pulling an embarrased red-faced girl in the door by the hand, bringing her into full view.
I was sure i'd seen her before somewhere.
She had a lemon yellow top on, with dark skinny jeans and knee high boots. Her hair was brunnette and was tied into a very short pony-tail, her arms were host to a bunch of plaited leather bracelets.
"Hey, guys" Gerard said, waving at us from across the room.
He seemed very happy. I'm guessing this girl was his new girlfriend.
Not that he mentioned he had a new girlfriend.
"This is Lindsey."
She waved at us with her free hand. Ray got up first, being the politest of all of us.
I swear I heard him sigh in relief....
"Hello." he shook her hand.
This was turning out to be kinda awkward.
She replied a small "hi"
We all followed Ray's example with Gerard introducing us.
Frank was of course slightly less gracious towards her then the rest of us.
We all shoved our butts on to the three sofa's in the corner.
"Soooo....." Gerard said after a while, "Lets get down to buisness....'The Black Parade'....."
Suddenly Steph's eyes widened.
"Did i mention i got us a video deal?" She sounded a bit guilty.
We all looked at each other.
"No.... I don't think you did...." Bob replied.
"Well my uncle owns a studio in LA, and he's offered for you to record the album, and get the videos shot there." She paused. "Well if you guys want too its an option...."
"Are you kidding?" Frank raised his eyebrows, "Of course we'd bloody love too, girl!" Steph smiled at him.
"So uh, what video would you want to do first, and I'll send the song demo to him..."
Everyone thought for a bit.
I spoke first. "Well i think we should do I don't love you. I have a pretty good storyline for that song, involving stange looking people, a train station and a tree."
Everyone looked at Gerard.
"Sounds good to me...."
IF ANYONE HAS READ THIS FAR, JUST WANNA SAY THANKS FOR READING....
