I nod again. I hadn't really eaten all day. Breakfast had been half a cup of coffee before I'd been rushed out of the apartment by Carly.

I shrugged."I don't know, Gerard, there are a lot of crew members!" I sipped my coffee nervously, tapping my foot to the music I heard playing.

"A few Border Terriers, a cocker spaniel..."

I flinch a little, "Sorry, but if you get paid at all, you get paid more than bands who are just starting out."

"That is very true. I've just been living by my parents' standards my whole life and it's a fucking hard routine to get out of."

"Yeah, it is. But once you get out of that, the whole fucking world has these standards for you, and it can be even worse, it'll make your parents seem fucking perfect," I point out, feeling bad for my pessimistic outlook.

"Yeah. I've been out in the real world for about six years and so far it sucks ass."

"Cool! Mine was like a hybrid of like three different breeds, but I never found out which ones.."
"Okay, I know this really good place." I mouth, grab Murphy's arm and leave.

"That sounds cool!"

"It gets a little better, I guess," I smile just to reinforce my words.

I follow Mikey as he drags me away by my arm.

Subject: Re: MCR backstage Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:52 pm

I smile. "He was. Um, so. How many do you have?"

"I guess it does. People used to tell me that in high school. In a few years, I'd feel better. Nothing's changed, though. I've still got a few years left though, hopefully..."

I began counting on my fingers, until I got up till 7. "I'm not really sure, actually..."

Subject: Re: MCR backstage Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:58 pm

"What do you want to be doing with your life right now, then?" I ask her.

Subject: Re: MCR backstage Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:59 pm

I laugh a little. "Guess you have a lot then!"

"I'd much rather be on the stage, actually, but now I just sound like a bitchy complainer. So yeah..."

"Yup!" I said happily.

"What instrument do you play?" I ask her.

"Guitar, bass, drums, melodica, keytar, and I sing a bit too..."

Subject: Re: MCR backstage Sun Sep 18, 2011 6:11 pm

"Wow," I say. "Keytar? That's not one you hear every day."

"Yeah, a friend of mine gave me his so I figured, fuck, why not?"

Subject: Re: MCR backstage Sun Sep 18, 2011 6:14 pm

"That's logical," I reply.

"I suppose." I finished my coffee and lit a cigarette.

"I can't afford a dog yet, minimum wage, haha, but once I do, there's no telling how many I'll get."

Subject: Re: MCR backstage Sun Sep 18, 2011 6:19 pm

I pull a cigarette out of my pocket and light it.

"I like the way you think!"

I checked my watch. I didn't have to start working again until 6.

Subject: Re: MCR backstage Sun Sep 18, 2011 6:25 pm

"So, um, what are you doing for the rest of today?" Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK. Now I fucking sound like a fucking creepy fucking stalker or something.

"Well, at 6 I have to get to work, but for now... nothing." I said nervously, biting my lip.
