The Pain of Loving the Drummer, chapter 3
<p>"Tre can we go for a walk?"<br />
"Sure babe."<br />
Tre and I go walking around the park, when we get to the swings I sit down and look out at the sky. It's hard to believe summer's almost over. It's hard to believe I have to leave.<br />
"Tre."<br />
"Yea?"<br />
"I got accepted."<br />
"What?"<br />
"The letter came in the mail yesterday. I'm going to the Berkeley College of Music."<br />
"That's great!"<br />
"No it's not. I have to move to Boston. Which means I won't see you unless you guys go to Boston while touring."<br />
"That sucks. When do you leave?"<br />
"Friday."<br />
"What? Why didn't you tell me this yesterday?"<br />
"It hurts." A tear rolls down my cheek and lands on my jeans.<br />
"I know but, you know I love you."<br />
"Yes, I know. It still hurts. I have to leave everyone."<br />
"It's ok Tay."</P.
<p>I spent the rest of the day packing and crying on Tre's shoulder. Mike stayed quiet during dinner and that made me feel worse.<br />
"Mikey, open up. I'm leaving soon and I wanna talk to you."
Mike opens the door and sits on his bed.<br />
"Mikey I'm gonna miss you so much. I can't imagine living without you."<br />
"Why are you going?"<br />
"I don't know. To learn? I really didn't think they would accept me."<br />
"I hope you do good."<br />
"I will. With you and the guys as my motivation."
Mike hugs me and makes me stay in his room the rest of the night.</p>
**
<p>"Tre you don't have to take me out."<br />
"I know, I want to."<br />
"I'm gonna miss you so much and I'm gonna cry and get all emoish."<br />
Tre grabs my hand from across the table and smiles.</p>
**
<p>"Dinner was good. Thanks."<br />
"No problem, do you wanna come in? My parents are out of town."<br />
"I'd love to."<br />
Tre takes me up to his room holding on to my hand as if I was a child. I sit on Tre's bed and look at him trying to hold back tears. Tre kisses me and turns off the light.</p>
**
<p>I wake up and start freaking out.<br />
"Calm down Tay. What's up?"<br />
"My flight leaves at three and it's eleven now."<br />
"I love you."<br />
"I love you too and I'm happy about last night."<br />
"Me too. Let's get you moving."<br />
Tre helps me find my clothes and takes me to my house to get Mike and Billie before we go to the airport. When we get there I hug Billie first.<br />
"I'm gonna miss you B."<br />
"I'll miss you too T."<br />
Then I hug Mike, "Mike, Mikey, Bubby," tears start flowing down my cheeks, "I'll miss you so much," I give him a kiss on the cheek and wipe away his tears. Then I kiss Tre like it's the end of the world. I look into his eyes and stair. I don't say anything.<br />
"I know babe. I'll cry every night."<br />
I hug Tre one last time, "I love you," I pull away from the hug, "This is our test. When I come back next summer and we're both single we'll know it's meant to be."<br />
"It is," Tre kisses me, "I know it is."<br />
"Bye guys. I love you." I slowly walk onto the airplane to my seat.</p>
No one's pov
<p>"So who are you?"<br />
"Your roadie."<br />
"But you're a girl."<br />
"Yea and? What am I supposed to be?"<br />
"Groupie."<br />
"I would never sink to that level."<br />
"Would you ever go on a date?"<br />
"Maybe who's asking?"<br />
"Me."<br />
"And you are?"<br />
"The names...."</p>
"Sure babe."<br />
