And then the last day of Warped Tour arrives, where we all have to part our separate ways. The guys would either go on another tour or return to their family and friends or go into the studio to record new songs and I would leave for the rehab clinic down the coast.

I wasn't sure if they could come and see me on this last day so I didn't expect to see them all in my room, when I rolled back through the door from my now frequent excursions down the hospital corridors. All of Pierce the Veil and Alan and Austin were sitting on my bed and the available chairs and started to cheer when they saw me.

"Come here Easy," Alan starts "We have smuggled some booze in, we are going out in style."
And right there in this dull hospital room the most wonderful guys in the world threw a goodbye party for me.

We drink and sing to Alan's and Vic's guitar and soon we are deep in conversation with each other. Every now and then one of them comes up to me and says his own goodbye, always with the promise to not loose contact and to meet again as soon as possible.

So it's Tonys turn and he takes my hand and looks deep into my eyes. " Easy, I should have told you this before but I didn't know how. I just wanted you to know I have a girl friend back home."

I smile and shake my head. " Since you didn't make a move on me I figured you were either not interested or taken, but it's okay, we didn't do anything that you couldn't tell her and I am happy for you that you found that special someone."

"Sometimes I just wish I would have looked a bit further. But how could I have known that I would find the most wonderful person by giving out chicken wings." he hugs me close and speaks into my hair.

Alan is the last to say his goodbye when it is time for them to leave. "Hey Easy, come here." He pulls up my wheelchair and sits on my lap.
"You know me, I am not good with emotions and stuff, same as you. But I need to tell you that I had an amazing time with you.
I mean, I will never forget all the shit we did. I never had so much fun on a tour before. I don't know if we ever become more than friends but I definitely want you to stay a part of my life, can you promise that?"

"Alan, I am so grateful for all the times you were there for me, I laughed so much with you and I trust you with my life. We both are so much alike that I also don't know if we can be more than friends but I am extremely proud to be able to call you my friend. Thank you" with that I grab his face and give him a long kiss. He kisses back until the rest of the boys become aware of it and give us all their "Awww's" and. "Ooooh's.

So after we all say our final goodbyes the boys leave and I am alone.

I roll around the room trying to tidy up the remains of the party when there is a knock on the door and in come Danny and Ben.
I haven't seen them since my fall, so I am pretty surprised and say nothing just stare at them.

"Hi Easy, We are sorry we never visited you all this time but we wanted to say goodbye." Ben starts, shifting from one leg to the other. While Danny just stands beside him looking at me with an expression I cannot figure out.

"It's okay, I didn't expect you to, it's not like we are friends or anything." I say.

Ben gets all agitated "That's bullshit, Easy, we love you and you will always stay part of the crew, you belong to the band now, do you understand this?" He walks over to me, hugs me and kisses my cheek. He doesn't wait for my reaction but turns around to leave the room saying "I leave you two alone".

That leaves Danny and me, looking at each other.
He clears his throat asking "How are you, Easy?"

"It is getting better day by day, thank you" I say very formal feeling awkward.

"It is horrible to see you in this" he points at the wheelchair.

"I will hopefully not need it anymore when I am done with rehab" still awkwardness fills the room.

Danny takes a deep breath and comes over, pulls up a chair and sits beside me.
"I need to tell you this, Easy. I fell for you the first time I saw you.
It was so strong that it got me scared, that's why I kept my distance.
I got so jealous at every guy that got close to you because I couldn't bare the thought of you being with them.
I snapped at every thing you said or did because I felt like I was constantly drowning in the ocean of your eyes and I couldn't handle it.
I can never forgive myself what I did to you, that I hurt you and nearly killed you.
I love you but we are so extreme opposites that I can't be with you or you will be in constant danger. I will not let this happen.
That is why I came here today to say my final goodbye."

I had nothing to say to this but raise my hand and caress his cheek with a smile.

He leaned in and gave me a kiss that sent sparks through my body. It had everything in it, love, passion, longing and lust. I grabbed his hair and kissed back with all I had. I don't know how long it lasted, we got lost in time and space but suddenly he broke the kiss, stood up and left the room without even looking back.

The one time Danny fucking Worsnop shows me what he's got and it's a goodbye kiss.

Just. My. Luck!

I plug in my headphones look out the window and put on our song.

1, 2, 3, 4!

Come on, baby,
Keep it down.
Honey, hush your lips.
Clothes trailing
From the backdoor
To the bedroom
And I don't even know your name.
Give me all you've got.
Make this night worth my time,

Make this worth my time

What I would give to live this night again!
I knew when I first saw you,
You'd fuck like a whore!
You'd fuck like a whore!
I can hear you scream for more!

Your thighs were made for cheeks to graze.
My lips, your poison,
They bring you to your knees.

Ah, come on!

Girl, get down,
It's almost over!
Take it all the way!
Oh!

You stupid fucking whore!

And after all of all my dreaming being only you,
You're standing there, baby, oh,
The things that I could do!
Back to the wall with a drink in my hand!
Back it up, baby, ride, ride, ride!

One step too late
And I never told you
That I can't take
Another disappointment.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.
Breathing and grasping all leads to another messy ending.

Ten inch!

With your back against the wall!
With your face buried in the pillow!
I see you cold!
I feel you heartless!

Bitch!
You stupid fucking bitch!
You stupid fucking bitch!

Fucking bitch.
