Chapter twenty two
Quick A/N: If anyone knows anyone who makes story covers, could you give me the hookup? This story is on twenty two chapters and I feel like it needs a better cover than the crap I've got at the minute. Thanks!

Josh arrived fifteen minutes later, as promised.
"Hey josh! How's it going?" I asked excitedly.
"Eh, it's alright. Sup, Oli. I heard you're going through some shit right now"
"How did you know?"
"Oh, y'know, my Oli sense was tingling" josh said with a completely straight face.
"You mean me, I'm the Oli sense" I laughed. Tony looked totally confused,
"Tony, this is josh. Josh, my friend Tony. We are going down to the stream, we'll leave you to catch up" I said, grabbing Tony by the arm and marching down the hill.
"You okay? Youve been quiet ever since we left the others yesterday" i asked, dipping my toes in the tiny stream.
"Can I tell you something? You really can't tell anybody"
"Of course! My lips are sealed"
"I-ah, this is awkward. I-maybe-kindOfLikeMike" he word-vomited.
"You what?" I asked, even though I knew what he said. I just adored the shade of scarlet he had turned.
"I-like-Mike"
My lips curled upwards involuntary, soon giving way to a full on grin.
My hands covered my mouth as I started to freak the fuck out.
"How do you know? What made you realise?"
"Well, your friend Oli, his wife left him and it made me think how Mike makes me feel. The room lights up whenever he walks in, my heart starts beating really hard, his smile makes my day, I would do anything for him"
My hands moved up to my hair and I grabbed my roots, silently screaming.
"What's wrong, are you okay?" He asked me.
"I'm fine, just fangirling, it'll stop in a second" I squealed.
A tear slid down Tony's face and I sobered up immediately.
"Whoa, honey, what's wrong?"
"It's just, what will this do to our friendship? It will mess up the whole band" he cried.
"No, it won't. For now, stay strong. I will fix this" I said, silently vowing to make perrentes cannon.
He nodded and stared out onto the water.
"Make a wish on our sorry little hearts
Have a smoke, pour a drink, steal a kiss in the dark
Fingernails on my skin like the teeth of a shark
I'm intoxicated by the lie" I sang gently to myself.
"In the chill of your stare I am painfully lost
Like a deer in the lights of an oncoming bus
For the thrill of your touch I will shamefully lust
As you tell me we're nothing but trouble" Tony replied.
"Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war
Heart's on fire tonight
Feel my bones ignite
Feels like war, war
Feels like war, war
We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all
We go together or we don't go down at all, whoa" we sang together.
"Y'know, we got the duet bit totally wrong. That was abysmal" I giggled.
"Everyone's a critic..." Tony sighed.
I looked at him sideways to see a small smile on his face.
"This view truly is amazing. I missed England. Although, hull is a total dump"
"I wouldn't know, never been" Tony remarked m
"No? I'll have to take you some day. There's a pretty cool aquarium there"
"Should we get back? The sun is starting to set"
"Yeah, come on then"
"Do you wanna bring josh and Oli? The sofa-bed is double"
"Please! Also, I've had an idea of how to calm everyone down, y'know, after all these breakups and stuff"
"Oh yeah?"
"I'm going to get a puppy. There's a breed called an Alaskan Klee Kai and they are like huskies but miniature! There's someone selling one just down the road, it's the toy variety and the biggest it will grow is fifteen inches tall. I think it will bring everyone together"
"Yes Oh my god, a puppy on tour!" Tony squealed in excitement.
"Yeah, that's the plan. I will drop Oli and josh at home so they can pack, then me and you will go and pick it up and get its bed and food and stuff. Don't tell anyone though"
"Okay then! Come on, let's go!" He exclaimed, sprinting up the hill.
We arrived back at the picnic blanket to see Oli and josh, sat with their shoulders pressed together.
"You wanna tour England with us?" I asked casually.
"Yes! Oh god, yes. Josh?" Asked Oli.
"Eh, don't see why not" josh replied, shrugging.
"Right, we're going to be gone for three weeks. The bus has a washing machine. I'll drop you at your houses where you will pack everything you need" I said, packing up the stuff and shoving it in the back of the car.
Everyone climbed in and we drove off, leaving josh and Oli at their houses with the promise of picking them up in two hours.
I drove to the pet shop, bought food, a bed, a crate thingy, toys, treats, a collar (black leather with studs), a lead, a brush and a ground stake (to attach the lead to when we are picnicking). Me and Tony shoved it in the back of the car and drove to the house of the owner of the puppy I was about to buy.
There was a litter of four, each three months old.
There was a black and white girl, a ginger and white girl, a gray and white boy and an all-black boy.
"Aww, Tony, I can't pick! I want all of them!"
"How about the black one?" Tony suggested. He currently had the black one in his lap while I had the other three.
"Yep, alright then. What shall we call him?"
"What about Gabriel?"
"Perfect! Let's take him" I said, paying the owner and leaving with Tony and Gabriel.
We went to pick up josh and Oli while Gabriel sat on Tony's lap in the car.
"Right, it's nine pm. I say we drive through the night, get back to the busses at around midnight where I will get you sorted on the sofa-bed. I'll call Vic and let him know''
"Okay, that works. Let's stop at sainsburys and get some food though, I'm starving" Josh asked.
"Okay, we will stop, you guys get food, I'll watch Gabe and call Vic"
I parked the car and Tony, Oli and Josh ran into the shop, leaving the tiny ball of black fluff in my lap.
"Hi Vic! I'm on my way back, I've got Oli and my friend Josh"
"Yay, more friends! I thought you said Oli wouldn't come"
"Yeah, well, his wife just left him. Josh is coming for moral support"
"That's fine, I look forward to meeting them. Any idea what time you'll get back?"
"Yeah, about midnight. Could you please set up the spare beds?"
"Of course! Anything else?"
"No, that's it. How is Kellin?"
"Still having nightmares so I shared a bunk with him last night, he slept better that way"
"Okay! That's good. What about Mike?"
"He seems a bit down, actually. Jaime is trying to cheer him up"
"I've got just the thing to cheer him up. Tony just got back, I've got to go. See you tonight" I said before hanging up.
"You want me to drive? I've got chocolate and crisps and coffee and I need you to distribute it all" Tony asked.
"Thanks babes! I get to keep Gabe in the car" I squealed, climbing into shotgun.
We set off back to the camp site and arrived at twelve-thirty.
Vic had waited up for us and I quickly introduced Josh and Oli, before taking Gabe and climbing into my bunk. I curled round him under my blanket protectively and went to sleep.
I was woken up by Gabe, who was wriggling for freedom. I got dressed quickly and ran out of the bus, climbing through the open window of My Chemical Romance's bus with Gabe. I put Gabe on Franks bunk and watched the scene unravel.
Gabe licked Frank's face a few times, waking him up. Frank sat up and squealed at the sight of the tiny puppy. He scooped Gabe into his arms and pressed his face into the soft fur, grinning like mad.
"I see you like my puppy then?" I asked, startling Frank.
"Yes. What is it called?"
"He's called Gabriel! Get dressed, I'm taking him for a walk and you are coming"
I took Gabe outside while Frank got dressed, clipping his lead on.
Frank sprinted out of the bus with Gerard in tow, before picking Gabe up and handing the helpless puppy to Gerard.
"Hello, step-father" I said, greeting Gerard.
"Huh? Never mind. Is this yours?"
"Yep, he is called Gabriel. You wanna take the lead for a bit?"
Both Frank and Gerard squealed and I handed them the lead before setting off across the field.
Twenty minutes later, Gabe was shivering and soaked in morning dew from the grass.
I'm gonna carry Gabe, he is cold" I said, trying to grab Gabe. I was too late and Frank had scooped Gabe up and was cradling him close to his body. Gerard had a look of pure adoration towards Frank and I was laughing after having my dog stolen.
"Come on, let's go" I laughed and walked back to the bus.
Mike was stood outside with Jack, looking significantly pissed off.
"You have a puppy and you didn't tell us" growled Mike.
"Yeah, sorry about that. He's called Gabe"I replied.
"Gimme the dog, Frank" Jack squealed, doing grabby hands towards Gabe.
"Fuck off and get your own!" Frank laughed.
"It's my dog, for fucks sake! I'm going to get him some breakfast"
"Aww can I feed him, please please please" Gerard asked in a mock baby voice.
"Yeah, he will eat out of your hand and stuff, me and Tony learned that in the car last night"
I handed Gerard the food and set Gabe down on the ground.
"What's all this noise abou-THERES A PUPPY" Alex yelled, running over to Gabe.
"Yeah, it's mine. Look, I'm going writing in a field somewhere with food in about an hour, anyone want to come?"
"Sure, I will" Mike replied.
I walked into the bus, to see that everyone was up.
"Hey, Ol-free!" I addressed Oli using a nickname I had thought up years ago.
"Yo"
"Wanna come writing with me? Mike is coming"
"Sure, I'll grab my portable keyboard and shove it in your car"
"Okay. Tony, you coming?"
"Yeah, alright! I need some inspiration for a song"
An hour later, I had bought food and shoved the instruments into my car, including two acoustic guitars, a portable keyboard, a set of drum pads and my laptop. I was driving and Oli was in shotgun with Gabe. Tony and Mike were in the back.
"Hey, Oli, you need to play 'Roger Rabbit', I need to see the psychological reaction from Tony" I whispered.
He did so and both Tony and Mike started blushing, me checking in the rear-view mirror. Their fingers were brushing against each other in the car awkwardly and I smiled like a fool. After a while, they were holding hands and I felt surprisingly proud of myself.
We arrived in the fields which turned out to be surrounded by forest.
I set out the picnic blanket along with some bean-bags from my car.
"So, what are you writing about?" Oli asked me as we were all settling down with our instruments.
"I don't know, love, heartbreak, meeting someone better..."
After three hours, me and Oli had come up with this.
"It has been some months now
I can't really have time notion
I lost my balance and fell down
So I completely drowned in the motion
This life is so meaningless
When there's no one to share it with the train of true love was fearless
We were near it but we just missed it
Its good to know you don't know who I am any more
That you forgot my name since you walked out the door
That I didn't mean a single thing to you, no
You moved on like a lightening bolt
Its good to know
I lost the most shining star
I was spinning in my galaxy
I could swear the end was so far
It was around the corner waiting for me
Now i'm in my bed, its late night
I hold onto our many memories
They're vanishing when I hold tight
They're haunting what's left of me
Its good to know you don't know who I am anymore
That you forgot my name since you walked out the door
That I didn't mean a single thing to you, no
You moved on like a lightening bolt
Its good to know
They say true love
Does not fade away
But maybe this love
Isn't love actually
We thought too in love
And shots were fired
And baby this love
Is ready to say goodbye
Its good to know you don't know who I am anymore
That you forgot my name since you walked out the door
That I didn't mean a single thing to you, no
You moved on like a lightening bolt
Its good to know
Its good to know you don't care about me anymore
That this great love was lost when you ran out the door
That your biggest wish since we made the first scar was to go
You moved on like the word 'us' had never been told
Its good to know
And if it feels so wrong to bother you now
Again try to make it work somehow
But this one thing I know
And you have shown
That if I get hurt
That's good to know" I sang softly.
"Right, now we need instruments to go with. I've had some piano ideas" Oli stated.
"Yeah, I've hot a few ideas for guitar. Let's go" Tony said, scribbling into a notepad, Oli doing the same.
(A/N creds to mindless-dreaming for the awesome song, thanks Hun!
