"Keeping it real?" I said over the phone to Tre. The tour ended almost a month ago. And even in that little time Tre has called me consistently, already asking me to come to his place. I have never been to his place, he told me all about it though. We scheduled a date in a couple weeks to visit everyone out in California. I'm already pumped.
"Of course. How else do I live life?" he replied in a joking way.
"Well that's good," I said.
"Caroline, dinner will be ready in a couple minutes," my mom yelled walking up the stairs. I lowered the phone and said
"Okay mom I'll be down in a couple minutes."
"Alright," she said and walked away.
"Lina, Lina, Bo Bina It's Now-a Time-a For Dinna," Nick said picking up the phone downstairs.
"Nick, I'll be off in a minute."
"Who are you talking to anyway? Is it a boy?" he said making the 'oy' in boy longer.
"Uhh kind of, I'll be off in a minute," trying to get rid of him. But, it naturally didn't work.
"Well who is this mysterious person?" he said pressing on the conversation.
"Tre Cool," Tre Piped up.
"Haha, oh, just kidding I thought it was Alex or something. Ok bye bye." Nick hung up the phone, and I heard him walking up the stairs, but stop outside my door.
"So Caroline," the first time he used my real name in a while. "Who is this Alex fellow."
"Damn I knew Nick was up to something."
"Well," he pressed on.
"A friend, only a friend. He was a friend before I left and a friend when I came back."
"Yeah, sure."
"Ok Tre, Nick is outside my door, I guess that means dinners ready."
"Alright Lina, I'll talk to you later." I hung up the phone to go down stairs for dinner. I opened the door and Nick was there, smiling.
"You did that on purpose."
"So." I turned away and walked downstairs.
"Lina!" it was Alaura.
"What were you doing up stairs?" she said grinning.
"I was on the phone."
"Talking to..."
"Tre." I picked up a plate.
"You talk to that guy like everyday." She crossed her arms.
"Well, I'm still used to talking to him everyday."
"You were only gone for half a year."
"That's a long time." I put the plate on the table and sat down.
"Not really."
"At least for you.";
"Stop bickering you two and Alaura please sit down," my mom said nodding her head toward the table. That's not something she normally says but I think she was having a bad day.
"So," Nick said, sitting down, "I hear you are leaving us again to go to California, to hang with those people."
"Yeah I get to meet Tre's son and Mike's daughter, and just hang out with them."
"Ok," he said going to his food. "Wait, you never met them but you met Billie Joe's?"
"Yup."
"Ok I get it."
"When are you leaving anyway?" he asked
"A couple weeks."
"Good you're not leaving me now," he mumbled. Once we finished dinner and I went upstairs.
"Lina are you naked!?" Nick yelled though my bedroom door, joking.
"No Nick I'm not."
"Damn it," he said quietly, also joking. "Can I come in anyway?"
"Yeah." He opened the door, he looked around my room.
"Did I ever tell you this room is the coolest sex room I have ever seen?"
"Yeah you told me yesterday."
"Oh." Nick sat down on my bed, still observing my 'sex room'. "What are you doing?" he finally said.
"Packing."
"You said you were leaving in a couple weeks," he said looking a little upset
"I am."
"You really want to leave us that badly." I stopped all movement, and turned around with a 'The Used' shirt and another black shirt in my hand.
"I never said I wanted to leave."
"It seems like it though."
"I'm sorry Nick, I just...you know we never had a lot of money and then I get to go on tour with my favorite band and now I'm going out to visit them, and on the way back I get to see another band that I am now really close friends to. I just got excited, that's all."
"Hmm. Who are you seeing on the way home?"
"The MCR guys.";
"Who, wait My Chemical Romance?"
"Yeah."
"What's with you and guys in eyeliner?" I looked in my hand and open the black shirt to show him the writing. It said 'I'm a sucker for guys in eyeliner.' on it.
"Ewww! You just want to fuck them!"
"No Nick!" I said hitting him in the arm and started packing again.
"Of course. How else do I live life?" he replied in a joking way.
"Well that's good," I said.
"Caroline, dinner will be ready in a couple minutes," my mom yelled walking up the stairs. I lowered the phone and said
