I feel like I have something important to share, but there is nothing in my head. I guess I'll just say hi. How is everyone? I'm doing pretty good, got a business competition tomorrow for the next few days in Hershey. Wish me luck, I'll probably not make it to the next level though anyway. That's also the reason I won't be posting The Only Hope For Me Is You for any one that cares to know the reason. If anyone wants to talk, about anything, message me. I'll always message back no matter how long it takes. Noe enjoy these random pictures!

After practicing all day Friday we felt confident about playing for Mikey, Frank, and Ray on Saturday. I was actually really excited too. We had barely finished cleaning up from lunch when I was practically pushing Ray out the door with me.
Surprisingly enough we weren't the to arrive at Leo's house. Kat and John were already there. They were standing outside chatting with Leo. As we walked up they greeted us, expressing their thanks for Ray coming.
It wasn't long until both Mikey and Frank came. With everyone here. we didn't hesitate to get started. I walked next to Kat as we went to the basement.
"What should we play first?" I whispered into her ear.
"Let's give what we're all about. Heroes Become Angels." She whispered back.
As Leo was tuning his guitar I told him the song i wanted to sing first. He nodded in agreement.
"Alright. What's first on the line up?" Frank asked when we were all ready.
"Heroes Become Angels." I said.

We spent a good hour together until we both realized that we should go home. Kat rode on the handle bars of my bike until we got to where had chained up her bike. Then I rode with her to her house. Before leaving her for the day I gave her another kiss. Finally, I rode my bike home.

When I got home I made quick calls to Leo and John. They were both excited, yet understood the difficulties. Plans were made on for us all to meet at Leo's on Saturday. Ray, Mikey, and Frank would be there too.
Leo also told me that he and John came up with some riffs for Heroes Become Angels. Kat and I were to go to his house tomorrow to practice it some before Saturday. I told Christa and Ray I'd be gone tomorrow, than called Kat to tell her. Afterwards I went to my room for the night.

Sleep came and went fast. It felt like I'd only been asleep for minutes when the rising sun signaled Friday was here.

I took a break from calling people. I could call Leo, John, and Kat later. Right now I just wanted to relax a little. So, I grasped my notebook, and some cash, and put them into a bag. Took my bike, and rode to the Quick Shop in town.
At the Quick Shop I got my favorite flavor of Sun Chips, garden salsa, and an Arizona Iced Tea. I took my purchase to the park nearby.
I found a nice spot in the sunny field to sit, and enjoy myself a little. While snacking on my chips, I started to write. Not exactly lyrics, but just a little something.

'Shout Hallelujah
Pray for you hope
Forgive all the vain
All without answers
Nothing will work
Help will not come
Just give it all up
We're already gone'

That was it. I stopped abruptly with the disappearance of the idea. I couldn't rescue it, at least not now.
Instead I sat, and just enjoyed simplicity. I kept trying to rescue the idea, and continue writing, but just gave it up.

I originally clicked on that link(above) because I saw the Billie Joe tattoo. Then scrolling down I saw the MCR one. Just thought I'd share because it's an awesome tattoo. There are some other really good ones too.

After a few hours I decided it would be a good time to call either Frank or Mikey. I called Mikey first.
He picked up on the second ring. "Hey. Ray or Christa?" He asked still a little sleepy.
"Actually, it's Zane."
"Oh, hey. What's up?"
"I have an idea," I began before diving into Leo, John, Kat, and I becoming Drop-Dead Lovers. How, no matter what he or the others said, we were going to do this.
When I finished talking he or had one thing to say. "I love it, and I'll help you do it."
I was ecstatic to say the least. I wanted to say thank you a million times over, but thought I'd sound like one of his obsessive fans. "Thanks so much. I can't wait to tell Leo, John, and Kat. Oh, and I've still got to call Frank. I'd better do that now."
"Yeah, and call Lindsey too. I'm sure she'll want to hear about all this." Mikey said before hanging up.

Finally! I've spent the past few nights trying to find the perfect photo to edit, but couldn't find anything, until now! What do you think? It's just some simple color changes(The original photo was in complete black and white), but I think it looks awesome. Kind of like a killjoy house wife is how I'd describe it.

I left Leo's house that night with a mission to fulfill. I had to talk to the guys about our band, Drop-Dead Lovers.
When I got home, I found Ray in the living room watching the news.
"Hey, I've got a question." I told him.
"Shoot." He said.
"Leo, John, Kat, and I have named our band. Drop-Dead Lovers."
"Great, but that's not a question."
"I know. We want to create an official album. In memory of Gee."
"Oh," Ray sighed. "I see. You would need our help with that. It's not as easy as it sounds, and you're still in high school. We'll have to talk about this some time."
"Leo, John, and Kat said Saturday would be good for them. I'll call Mikey, and Frank tomorrow to ask them. This is something we all want, and something I feel needs to be done."
I explained.
"I understand, and think it's great. It's just not as easy as it sounds."

"Zane!" I heard Kat call with a tinge of worry. "Where did you go?"
I didn't answer, just continued to cry. I guess she must have heard my sobs, because she was sitting next to me.
She put an arm around me, and cooed "It's okay. He didn't mean to upset you. The lyrics are beautiful, but they have a sad meaning. Just like Skylines And Turnstiles. You know that song. That song started My Chemical Romance, and they started all this. My Chem may be gone, but that gives someone else a chance. What do you think? Do you want to start a new legacy?"
I thought about this for awhile. Skylines And Turnstiles was the song that started My Chemical Romance. Gerard wrote about 9/11, about all the people that died, and all the people that were affected. Now I've written a song about Gerard's death, and how it affected so many people. I know what I think, and I'm definitely ready.

I lifted my head to look at Kat, wiped the last tears from my eyes, and nodded.

Morning came quick, and the flight back to California went even faster.

I had planned to just stay at home for the rest of the day, but a call fro Leo changed that.
"Hey. I know you just got back, but we're jamming tonight. We were wondering if you'd like to come?" Leo told me.
"I'll have to ask, but I don't think it will be a problem. If it is a problem I'll call."
"Cool. Also, if you do come don't forget your lyrics." He reminded me.
"Gotcha."

After hanging up i went to find Ray or Christa. They happened to both be in the dining room, having coffee.
"Hey. Leo just called. He and the others want to know if I can jam tonight?" I asked.
"It's up to you. We don't have a problem with it." Christa said.
"Thanks."
After getting my lyric book, I went to the garage to get my bike, and headed over to Leo's house.
