My parents came home to watch Jakob graduate and then returned to tour, missing my birthday. It sucked a little bit, but my two brothers took me out to dinner with grandma and it was pretty fun. After dinner, they took me to go see a movie and then hung out with our friends. Joey offered me a beer, who was I to say no. So we chilled on the couch in the garage, drank a little too much and had a really good time.

The next morning my head hurt like hell, but it was solved with breakfast and lots of water. Somehow someone got the idea to go to the beach, and we ended up in Santa Cruz a few hours later. Walking around the board walk was really fun. I dared Jakob to eat a fried Twinkie, and he made me eat a fried Oreo. The best part was the roller coaster. The big dipper is this really old wooden roller coaster and one of the best things that they have there. By the time we got home, we were all exhausted. Traffic was literally the worst, but it was worth the day we had.

Most of Summer went by like this, I'd do my homework when I had the chance, I always worked ahead and got it done, somehow managing to keep it from my brothers, and keep up with their adventures. Just as my classes ended, Jakob wanted to go on a road trip. So, I convinced him we should go to disneyland. Being the best big brother ever (the younger big brother), he reluctantly agreed, and that's how I found myself in Disneyland about to ride space mountain for the very first time.

The three of us got closer, and had a good bond. We could go to each other for anything, and had each others backs. By the start of the school year, it was weird knowing that Jakob wouldn't be in school with me anymore, and that he was an adult. Joey began to do a bit more touring and was constantly on the road. He left just as mom and dad got home. I missed them a lot, but had a lot of fun with my brothers. They felt bad for missing my birthday so they let me get my nose pierced. Our warped tour date was also at the end of summer, just a few days before school started, and they reluctantly let me go. I went with Cassidy, Megan and a couple of Joey's friends who were going.

It was a really fun day. I got to see The Maine play, and meet them again. John remembered me and was like, "what's up punk?" It was pretty cool. Megan was problematic all day however. I let her throw her fits, and let her be in control since I didn't want to make a scene. At some point I said screw it and purposely got lost from her and Cassidy. The both of them were getting to be too much. Walking around the venue, I sat in the grass of the amphitheater and watched bands play on the stage.

I hadn't put too much thought into what I wanted to do after high school, but I was seriously now debating things. Originally I wanted to be a teacher, but now I wasn't so sure. Music seemed to seep into my life at every stop, and it was something I was really passionate about. Everyone had their own band- Joey, Jakob, Dad, hell even mom was in the band that they did when they made a christmas song when the boys were little.

Like my brothers, I didn't want to be associated with my dad, when pursing my own career. As I watched all these band play, it made me want to join in. Cassidy and Megan began to spam my phone trying to 'find me', but I let it ring. As time went on, Cassidy and Megan became better friends, and began to exclude me from plans. Cassidy also changed, Megan made her more manipulative and not the girl I befriended.

Danny, one of Joey's friends found me and sat down next to me.

"I could see the drama between you three from the start of the morning, its not you're fault. There's people out there who understand and are your friend because of you, not your parents. I don't care that your dad is Billie. I care that Joey is a good friend, has my back, and is funny. I may be more of Joey's friend, but I extend my friendship to you and Jakob too. Its harder since we're both so much older than you, but I can assure he loves you regardless. Jakob too. Those girls may dim your day, but warped is something special, its once a year, once in a life time. There's moments that define you, and make you. I sat watching you for a moment before I joined you. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I graduated. I could get into any university I wanted to with my grades, but I didn't know if that was what I wanted. I learned that I was good with a camera, and now I am a professional photographer.

you'll find your way, don't worry. Friends come and go, but you'll find a friend and they'll be there for life."

His pep talk really helped.

Helping me up, we walked to the main stages and watched sets until the sun set.

"Where were you? I was calling you all day." Cassidy bitched at me.

"Sorry, my phone died. I was at the left and right foot stages."

"I thought you said she could get us in to meet bands." Megan bitched.

"Um excuse me?" I asked.

"She said you could get us connections." Megan repeated.

I rolled my eyes and said, "I don't have any so..."

"But your dad is Billie Joe."

I rolled my eyes once again and said, "literally no one but you cares about that. So what if he's my dad? I'm my own person. I'm not going to use my dad's name to get me into places, one its pathetic, and two, its just wrong." I said as I tried to remain calm.

Megan got bitchier and bitchier as we walked back to the car, and Cassidy was taking her side. Danny who was driving, said, "Berkley gets shot gun." The others didn't really care (Robert, Vanessa and Mikey). As we got in the car, we turned the radio up and jammed out, I ignored my two 'friends' and texted Jakob about what happened.

The closer we got to home, the more I wanted to cut the two girls off and out of my life for good. So when we dropped them off, I as politely as I could, told them to not talk to me again, and that our friendship was over.

Once I was home and in bed, I let the tears fall. It'd been a long day, and while it had its ups, it ended on a down.
