“Jack”!!! I grunted and threw a pillow over my head. Why is it that in the morning your mothers voice can seem to always pierce your ears.

“Jack” I heard her scream again! Then I heard my door open I looked and saw my newly 12 year old sister peek in.

“Mom is not gonna stop until you come down stairs” She said with a sweet smile. I grunted and sat up.

“You are right. Is Angel up yet” I asked, Angel was my youngest sister, she had turned six this past April.

“Yeah she is already sitting down for breakfast, we are the only ones left” Lena said with a smile. I got up and threw a shirt on. We both began to walk down the stairs.


“It is about time” My mom smiled.

“You know Jack is not a morning person” Lena defended me as we sat down.


“Dad is”? Lena asked.

“Dad is with your Uncle Mikey” Mom said as she buttered Angels toast.


“Doing what” Lena asked, she is still quite a daddy’s girl.


“He didn’t say” My mom said smiling. I looked over at Angel who in every way lived up to the name I had given her. She was beautiful, blonde hair, fare skin, blue eyes. She had looked like dad at birth but grew into a spitting image of my mother. She was very sweet and quiet, nothing like Lena at her age. Lena was sweet but crazy hyper and outgoing and well she still is. She was a social butterfly, she wanted to cheer and have boyfriends. Angel would be different, she would be low key. The silent beauty.

“So you all excited for the first day of school” my mom asked. I was gonna be a Sophomore this year. Man I though Junior High was gonna be tough but high school turned out to be worse. I have now officially grown in to the twin of my father, I still had his eyes, I dyed my hair black at 13 and never turned back, I wore it longer. I loved to wear band t shirts, I was a loner and still hated school and the people in it. My anger was better, I had my dad to talk to since he always understood. I still love to draw, it was still my past time, my room my hiding place. My thoughts were interrupted by my father entering the room. He still looked like he was in his twenties, not a damn wrinkle. His hair still black but he kept it shorter these days, still rocked his black nail polish.


“So I think we are gonna record a little” He said before he kissed my mom. They grossed me out still. They were so touchy feely.


“When” I asked interested. “I dunno, whenever we can get Bob back here for a visit longer than a few days” He said and took a bite of bacon. My Chem had started up their Black Parade tour again once we came back from Hawaii. They toured for another year. After that they all thought a long over due break was needed. Bob moved back to Chicago where he is now happily married to a women named Becca, they have a son who is probably 3 now, Carter. Frank finally married Jamia and then about 4 years ago he also finally gave her the baby she always wanted, Fender was his name and yes it was after a guitar. None of us were surprised. Mikey and Alicia had a baby girl Reagan whom is the best of friends with Angel and they have a 2 year old son, Harley, Alicia picked it. Last and certainly not least my Uncle Ray, I have become extra close to him over the years, he is sorta my mentor. He taught me how to play the guitar. He is Married but he and his wife Robin have yet to have any children. He says they are still young.


“You think you will make another album now that all of you are ancient” Lena said teasing.

“Maybe, I mean it wouldn’t be an epic tour or anything, we all now have kids but I would like to go on the road again” I saw my dads eyes changed, they always did when he spoke of touring. He missed all of it, the recording, the performances, touring, being with the guys all the time. I felt bad for him some times.

“What do you think Angel” my dad asked her with a grin.

“I think you should do it” She said and smiled back. They still had there connection. I still can’t believe that 6 years ago my dad almost died. He had his memory completely back now, took me a while to warm back up to him but I eventually did.

“Jack” He said looking at me for an opinion.

“I think you should definently record. I would love to see you guys back in action. Still my favorite all time band and not just because you are my dad” I said.

“Man you talked more in that sentence than I have heard you say in a week” My mom said with a laugh. She was still mom, Em Way as her friends called her. She was still beautiful, she was still an amazing mother though I would still never tell her that. I dropped my smile and looked back down to my plate.

“Bus is here Jack” my dad said. I rode the bus because I couldn’t handle my parents driving me to school. My teachers always seemed to flirt with my dad, it was humiliating. I began to walk towards the door but my mom caught me in a hug.

“Good luck, I hope you have a great year” She whispered.

“Yeah don’t let em take you alive Jack” My dad said, he said this every year. He gave me a shove towards the door. I almost made it out before I felt both sisters hugging me.

“Bye Jack, I hope this year is better. I do” Lena said, she would be starting junior high.

“Bye” Was all Angel said, I gave her a smile and headed towards the bus, the ride from hell. I slipped my hood over my head and pushed play on my I pod. I loved music, I had loved it from a young age. It kept me going, that and my art kept me breathing. I received the same looks that I had the year before, some things never change I guess. I didn’t care, I hated them all. I sat in the back alone, the way I liked it. I got to school, walked through the big doors and immediately dreaded the coming year. I walked with my head down and my hands in my pocket as usual. I found my locker with the number on it I had received in the mail a long with my schedule which sucked by the way.

“Hey fucker how was your summer” I heard someone say, I turned to see my only friend. Deek, or Deek the Geek as most other people would call him. He was a nerd but he loved music and comic books so he was alright by me. We had met my first year in Junior High, he was the smelly nerdy kid who wore star wars t shirts. No one spoke to him but me, I don’t know if I would have gotten through Junior High without him.

“Summer was good. How was yours” I asked grabbing my algebra book. My first class of the day, I sucked at math.

“Well the parents finally split” He said casually.

“It was about time” I said. His parents hated each other, he had begged them to divorce.

“They finally got smart” I said as we headed down the busy hall. Deek was taller than me, he was a bit lanky with reddish brown hair, he had glasses and a Metallica shirt on. He reminded me a lot of my uncle Ray actually, minus the fro.

“So did she write this summer” Deek asked. She, Amy. She had left in 8th grade, her dad had a job offer in Vermont so they had moved. We had written back and forth since then.

“Yeah a few letters” I said, I didn’t like to talk about it.

“What about you, any summer romances”I said jokingly.

“Oh yes, I had tons of sex with hot hot women” He said sarcastically.

“The flock to me you know” He said, I laughed.

We reached math, we sat in the very back. I immediately laid my head down and he slipped a comic book between the pages of him math book. I am surprised we had passed any grades thus far. Math was horrible, I slept. The teacher was this ancient old guy, he had a mono toned voice and the classroom spelled weird. The bell rang and woke me from my nap.

“That was a interesting class” Deek said with a confused look on his face. The next few classes went by slowly, I only had 2 classes with Deek. We were meeting outside for lunch. I spotted him sitting at a picnic table alone and looking through a comic book.

“All my classes blow” He said and shut his comic.

“Mine to” I said and took a seat. I pulled out the lunch my mom packed.

“What did her hotness pack you today” Deek said smiling, he thought my mom was a MILF as he would call it.

“Okay seriously let up on my mom” I said feeling nauseous.

“So my dad and the guys are thinking about recording some” I said knowing he would be interested. He had an older sister who loved My Chem, she had been one of the hard core fans and through her he grew to respect and like them too.

“No way, Katie would freak” He said taking a bite of his tuna.

“Yeah I hope it happens” I said staring off into space.

“Jackie Way my you have grown up” I heard from my side. I looked up and couldn’t believe my eyes.

“No more fights? No one to defend” She said with a smile. I could barely speak.

“Amy” Deek said.

“What the fuck” He said. She didn’t break eye contact with me.

“Am what... how” Was all I got out.

“My family moved back. The branch my dad transferred to got axed so we came back” She said.

“Cool, welcome back” Deek said and took another bite of his sandwich.

“Why didn’t you” Was all I said.

“I wanted it to be a surprise” She said smiling, that smile God.

“I don’t even get a hug” She said being a little pouty.

“Sorry, I am just surprised” I said and stood up to hug her. She squeezed me tight.

“I have missed you” She said against my ear. I didn’t say a word, she pulled back.

“Well I am gonna go see some more people, but thought I would say hey to you guys and let you know I am back” She said and walked away.

“Dude she is back, you okay” He asked. I had, had a crush on her since the second I saw her. She was my first kiss. We had only shared a casual hand hold and a kiss or two on the cheek since that first kiss. We were friends, she was different from us but she didn’t judge us. She was still beautiful.

“Earth to Jack, you okay” Deek said waving his hand in front of my face.

“Yeah, I am fine” I said and peeled the crust off of my ham sandwich. I didn’t see her the rest of the day and I headed towards the bus. Deek’s mom insisted on picking him up daily so I was yet again forced to take the bus alone. I couldn’t wait to get my licence. I had my permit, I always drove dad around. He said I was a good driver. I walked off the buss and through my front door. I immediately heard Lena chattering.

“Mom it was so great, I love my English class and my math teacher is so so cute. Oh and there is this guy in science who is so hot....” I would avoid the kitchen and head up to my room. I shut the door and fell onto my bed. I had one picture of Amy and I and I kept it in my night stand. I barely ever took it out. I was tempted to, then there was a knock at the door. I didn’t answer, maybe they would assume I was sleeping.

“Jack it is me, I know you are not sleeping” It was my dad.

“Come in” I said and sat up. He came to sit next to me on my bed. “I am not even gonna ask how school went” He said with a grin.

“Oh it was great as usual” I said sarcastically.

“How’s Deek, his parents finally split” He asked.

“Yes, he was excited offcourse” I said grinning. I loved talking to my dad. He got comfortable and leaned against the wall.

“So any band updates” I asked.

“Yes, we are all getting together tonight. Bob is in town. We are gonna try some stuff out. See where it goes” He said with a dreamy look in his eyes.

“You know I hated the whole fame thing and the un wanted attention but I loved the music, the stage, the fans. I miss it sometimes” He said seriously.

“I know you do, I miss it for you. You were amazing. Well you still are” I said, he smiled.

“Glad to know your still a fan” He said with a laugh. Now that I was older I feel like he and I could really talk, I could even be there for him. I only really talk to him and Deek.

“So you know what direction you want to head in” I asked curiously.

“Nope, we are just gonna start writing and jamming and see what happends, I mean we might not even release it but we need to create together again” He said.

“You talk to mom about it” I asked.

“Yeah as always she is supportive and well since we can’t seem to have a fourth child, right now seems like a perfect time to start again” He said. He and my mom wanted four children, but it seemed to be more difficult than they anticipated.

“You know your mom is great about all of this. She is amazing” He said with the goofy smile he still gets when he talked about her. I admired my parents, their devotion and commitment to each other no matter what. I would like to some day have someone like that.

“Hey hot stuff what you two up to”I heard my mom say from the door.

“Talking about you” My dad said and stood up and walked over to her. He pulled her into his arms.

“You have a good day” She asked, I know she wanted so much for me to say yes just once.

“It was school” I said, giving my short answers as usual.

“Okay, dinner will be ready in about 20minutes” She said and headed out. Dad smiled and watched her walk away.

“Amy is back” I said quickly. This caught his attention, he walked back over to me.

“Amy Amy?” He asked.

“Yeah, she moved back. I saw her at school today” I said nervously.

“How did that go” He asked.

“Fine, she gave me a hug then she was gone” I said biting my nails.

“You okay” He asked.

“Yeah, it was just weird to see her again. I mean we write but I didn’t think we would ever see each other again” I said truthfully.

“Well you two were good friends, now you will have someone else to talk with at school” He said trying to be nice, he knew she had been my first kiss and that I used to care for her.

“Yeah true. Hey can I come tonight”I asked hoping he would say yes.

“Sure, I would love it and so would the guys” He said and patted my back.

“See you in a few” He said then exited my room. I lay back in my bed and stared at the ceiling. Amy was back, maybe this year wouldn’t be to bad.
