Chapter 1

It seems like each day in my life is more repetitive than the last.
I have created a pattern, one that appears dull.
Get up, go to work, sleep and repeat, with exceptions of the odd day out.
I felt comfortable, it seems boring but I must be so used to it that it barely feels boring anymore. I am comfortable, I wouldn't change a thing.

I woke up and had a strange feeling that something was going to happen. I felt uncomfortable, weird.
I began my shift at work; a small place tucked away in Belleville, not many people knew about it. It was away from everything else.
"Have a nice day" I smiled as the women I served walked away with her coffee in her hand.
I sighed and sat back on my stool, waiting for the next person to come in.
It wasn't a fantastic job, ill admit that, but I did enjoy it. I listened to music all day long and read magazines when there were no customers.
I was hardly bothered by troublesome people, with the exception being...

"Amy Spencer! My dearest friend!" screamed a boy with black and blonde hair, uneven on both sides and metal rings in his lip and nose.
"Oh no, what is it this time Frank?" I said shaking my head. "My boss said I'm not allowed to give you any more sugar".
"Aw, shame. That isn't what I'm here for" he said.
"What do you want then?" I asked. "You have been invited to the unveiling of our new singer and bassist" he smiled, handing me a shiny beaded bracelet.
I felt a sudden jolt of discomfort within myself, "Frank?" I asked, sliding on the cheap bracelet.
"Yeah Honey?" he returned. "What do I do with this?" I asked, looking down at the bracelet.
"You show the clubs owners that and you get in the back with us. Only after we play though, that's only fair" he said simply.
"But what if I want to know who they are now?" I asked.
"Too bad" he smirked. "Mr. Iero..." I attempted to sound serious but failed.
"You may not know" he said with a confident grin.
"Fine then…get out of my shop!" I said pointing towards the exit.
"To be exact, it's a coffee house dear" he corrected me.
"Out!" I shouted. He huffed, jumped over the counter to peck me on the cheek and then skipped out of the door.
I shook my head with a smile as I watched him walk down the street, until he was no longer in my view.
I loved Frankie, after all he was my best friend and he had always been there for me. Always.

I walked back behind the counter and sat down, flicking through music magazines the have piled up for a few weeks. Suddenly, I heard the door open and I sighed with a smile. "Frankie, I..." I began but as I looked up, I stopped.
It wasn't Frankie.
It was someone different; he had been coming in for the past couple of days, ordering the same thing every time.
"Caramel latte, please" he asked.
"Sure" I said and went to prepare his order. He began writing on a serviette as I served him and asked for the money.
He handed me a five dollar note and said "Keep the change"
"Thanks" I said with a smile.
I handed him his coffee and he handed me the serviette before smiling at me and leaving the shop.

Name's Gerard
555-689
Call me sometime
xo.

"Gerard" I smiled to myself.

Chapter 2

I closed the shop after my shift and walked home as the late afternoon sun hit my eye. I squinted and bumped into somebody.
“Watch it!� he said to me. “Frank!� I said “I'm sorry, I didn’t see you� I jumped on him and hugged him.
“Its okay, I was only joking around� he smirked.
“Where you headed?� I asked, after gently shoving him.
“Band practice at the new singers house, then we are off to the club� he returned.
“Ok, Frank what time do I meet up with you guys backstage?� I asked
“The show starts at 8 and you can come with us after the show� he smiled at me. “Ok� I sighed, “I’ll see you later then�
“Bye honey� he said kissing my forehead.
I continued walking home to my flat, as soon as I walked through the door I headed for the bathroom to get ready.
I checked the time. 6:43 pm.
I had a shower, dressed myself and then did my hair and make-up.
As I walked out of the bathroom the phone rang. I raced to get it, stumbling along the way.

“Hello?�
“Hey Amy…� I heard frank on the other end, vibrant as usual. That boy has too much energy.
“Hey Frank, what’s up?� I asked
“I was wondering if you wanted a lift with me tonight?�
“Does that mean I get to meet the band now then?�
He laughed at my stupid question “Nope, just you and me�
“Damn! Whatever, it’s all good� I said, disappointed.
“Cool I’ll be over in 10�
Then he hung up.

Before I even knew it the doorbell rang. It was frank.
“That was 10 minutes? Wow, that went fast� was the first thing I said to him.
“Are you ready?� he asked impatiently.
“Yeah� I grabbed my bag and keys and we were out the door.
On the way we talked non-stop, as always.
He pulled up backstage, there were two men dressed in black standing at the door.
“Are the boys already inside?� Frank asked them.
“Yes, come through Mr. Iero� they replied.
“Okay, I’ll see you after the show…Mr. Iero� I smirked and gave him a hug.
“Sure will� he said. “Good luck� I smiled and then walked around to the front entrance.
I walked through the two front doors, I saw about 50 people standing around. I saw a man walk onto the stage and pick up the microphone “Ladies and Gents…I welcome you…My Chemical Romance!� he said and with that the crowd screamed.

Yet another thing Frank forgot to mention…the new band name.
My Chemical Romance. That sounded cool, but no way in the world would Frank manage to come up with something like that alone. He hadn’t even spoken about the new songs they had written.

I managed to squeeze my way to the front; my petite figure came in handy in this instance.
With help of saying “Sorry, I have to get to my friend…sorry…� to every second person and they would bump the person opposite to them to allow me an inch more room to get through.
“They are so stupid� I whispered to myself, as my body crashed into the barricade.
One at a time, the band members walked on stage. First the drummer, then Ray and Frank, the new bassist who wore square glasses and had a lean, skeletal figure.
And then the singer, I couldn’t see him very well because of the lights but with the little light there was, I could see his eyes and jet black hair.
“Hey guys� he began “We are…My…Chemical…Romaaaaance!� he screamed into the microphone.
The crowd screamed.
“This song is called Our Lady of Sorrows�
Frank began rolling on the floor, jumping around and sweating like hell, he looked at me to make sure I was alright.
I smiled and gave him a huge wave.
“Stand Up fucking tall, don’t let them see your back, Take my…� the singer sung.
After that they played Vampires will never hurt you, Headfirst for Halos, Skylines and Turnstiles (which all of them were remarkably well written) and the last song they played was my favourite, it was the only song frank ever let me hear. Demolition Lovers.

His voice was amazing, I stood there and did nothing, unaware that everyone around me had lighters and cell phones up in the air swaying back and forth.
After they finished the song, he said “You guys are incredible, thank you� and then they dropped there instruments and walked off stage.
I was so excited; I ran to the back door and showed the two men my bracelet. I felt so foolish.
“Oh, you’re the girl frank arrived with, come through� they said without even glancing at the bracelet.
I stepped inside and looked around. I felt a sudden pause in my body, like I was suddenly scared. I felt lost until I saw frank running up to me, awakening me from my daze. I smiled.


Feedback?
This Chapter is a little dull and kind of drags on, but it gets better.
