How did we end up here??
Next step forward
*Almost four months later*
"What do you mean My Chemical Romance isn't a "real punk band"??!?!" I screamed basically centimeters away from Rick's face. "Have you never listened to Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge??"
"Yes, sadly, I have." Rick laughed and gave me a sly grin. I swear this kid really liked to test my patience. Ever since I met Rick about three months ago we've almost never agreed on anything. Yet we were best friends. He was only a couple of months older than me where as Ryan, his brother, was almost two years older than me. I had just turned 20 and they were already talking about when I turned 21. They wanted to take the *baby* of the band to vegas for a kick ass time.
"Hey! If you're done arguing about a band that broke up YEARS AGO, can we get back to recording??" John, our drummer shouted over our yelling match. I glared at Rick before turning to smile at John and sit down on a couch across from the recording table. Rick chuckled and plopped down on the opposite side of the couch.
My parents knew what I did with my time, well sort of. I still lived at home because I had an agreement with my parents that as long as I was in school they would let me live there rent free and so far it was okay. I was almost never home. I was almost always at work or at school. And when I wasn't doing either of those I was at Ryan's house recording our first album.
We finished editing the last song and we all just clapped for ourselves. How we accomplished this so fast none of us knew. Basically, as soon as Ryan introduced me to his brother and the rest of the band, we started writing and recording. It was instant. We had some sort of connection where we could edit each others lyrics super well and perfect it to our satisfaction.
"Seriously Amy," Ryan said sitting next to me and smiling huge at me. "I don't know if we would have ever gotten this far if I hadn't met you at school and forced you to join the band." He was right. On both parts, they did need me, and he did force me to join the band. I always wanted to be a singer but had serious doubts of my abilities. Also, I knew my family would kill me if I didn't finish school and persued something they thought was a waste of time.
"I know kid." I said standing up and walking to the door. I turned out and smiled at them. "Well guys, Over Done officially finished their debut album. What are you going to do next?"
Cameron, our main guitar player shouted "WERE GOING TO DISNEYLAND!!!" and we all laughed but stared at the same time. I was basically dating my job. I never got a vacation.
"I doubt the queen of coffee could ever get time off, so sorry Cameron. But..we could go out for a fun night?" He smiled at me then everyone else. Rick and I aren't old enough to drink. So for us a fun night is either John or Ryan buying some alcohol and coming back to Ryan's to play Cards Against Humanity. Which is exactly what we did for the rest of the night.
