We took our seats on the second row, with some complaints from Mikey, as he kept getting sat on by everyone. Why he'd brought popcorn to a gig, I'll never know.
I'm gonna admit it, I was kinda excited. The Eagles had been one of my favourite bands for a long time, and I had never seen them before. This was there farewell tour though, so it was a bit sad. Steph loved them too, which I was a bit suprised at, she seemed to have a hell of a lot in common with me.
"So what are these guys like?" Gerard whispered to me, fidgiting in his chair.
I guessed he wasn't used to accoustic rock gigs.
"They have a really intresting live performance." I replied, "Usually the singer switches instruments loads, and the guitarists just sit on the side of the stage, unless they're doing back-ups. Its all really relaxed"
"Right.....I thought you'd never seen them live?" he raised an eyebrow.
The lights went down and the stage lit up, making the audience hold their breath.
"I have a dvd....." I admitted sheepishly. He laughed.
The band came on, all wearing jumpers and jeans. They were about late fifties, but were all in pretty good shape for their age. The singer took his seat, along with the rest of the band. He had greying hair, and the start of a grey beard. He was amazing at singing though, and I loved all the guitar melody in their songs.
He intoduced himself and the band, before they started playing. They started with their most famous song, one that I knew all the lyrics too. Before I knew it I was singing along with Steph.
Gerard started to relax, occasionaly pinching Mikey and Lindsey's popcorn. I knew he'd like them.
It lasted for about two hours, each song better then the one before.
They eneded on a really great song, before the lights came back on.
We all stood up, except Frank and Jamia, who were busy kissing.
They seemed to be doing that a lot recently, ever since Frank gave in to his impulses.
He left Jamia a bright red after that, before taking her out for dinner.
Right now though, I grabbed his jacket sleeve and pulled him up, with Steph doing the same to Jamia.
"Come on prince charming," i said.
He shoved my shoulder, before taking Jamia's hand.
Jamia, Steph and Lindsey were all really good friends, all of them being super easy to get on with. None of them were ever negative, but were all really nice in their own ways.
Steph was always fun, and never really stopped smiling, except when someone pretended to be dead.
Lindsey was quiet, but always really nice and thoughtful towards everyone.
Jamia had opinions on everything, but each one was debatable, and she accepted others opinions. She was really fun to debate with.
I just hoped Mikey and Bob found someone soon, so it wouldn't be so awkward when we all went out.
We all headed home early after the gig, as tommorrow recording began.
We had fourteen awesome songs, that all made up a pretty good album. We also had the artwork, that Gerard and Steph had worked on together. It was awesome too.
Me and Steph went back to my flat to watch a movie, something we did a lot. It was fun every single time, usually because we made fun of it together. Plus somehow, we always ended messing up each others hair.
But tonight, halfway through the movie, the phone rang. She answered it, pulling a face at me, as I was winning against her in a game of monopoly.
I was the top-hat, as always.
'Its Gerard' she mouthed at me. I nodded, before sneaking a two-hundred away from her cash pile while she wasn't looking. She nearly always managed to catch me though.
She looked worried as the converstaion went on.
"Okay, just get some rest......" She hung up.
"Whats up?" I asked, putting my arm around her shoulders.
"Its Gerard. He's kinda lost his voice....."
