My cell phone started ringing little after 12. I didn't wake up even that it was next to my ear and even that I fell asleep on the only couch that was too short even for me. Taylor needed to hit me so I'll wake up.

"Thanks Tinker Bell" I said and answered. "Hello?"

"Hey Frankie, where are you?"

"Good morning, baby! I'm in Taylor's house"

"And when are you coming back?"

"I'll take a train in 30 minute, okay?"

"No! We'll be late to the party! You're so annoying!"

"C'mon Chris, it's not my fault! I was tired!"

Taylor stared at me and smiled.

"I know, I know…well, just come already, okay?"

"Fine"

"Bye Frank" she said and hanged up.

I sat on the couch and rubbed my eyes.

"What happened? She got crazy because you slept here?"

"No, she just wants me to come back" I answered.

"Oh" she said and sat next to me. "Need a lift to the train station?"

"Yeah, it could be nice" I said and smiled.

"So get up, you ugly boy" she said and got up herself.

"Shut up" I told her and got up.

"Come already" she said and ran out of the house.

I was sorry that the way to the train station was so short, I really enjoyed talking to Taylor and I knew I won't see her for a while. She stayed with me while I bought a ticket and then drove back to her house. The way back seemed so long! The train was pull and I had to sit next to a guy that didn't stop talking to me. I hate when people do it, they’re always talking about boring things. The train got to Belleville at 1:10 and I went home to take a shower and change (I still wore the clothes that I wore in the performance, and they smelled!). Allie left my guitar in the house night before so I changed the ripped string before I went to Shaun's house. When I got there I saw that Chris sat outside, next to the door.

"Why aren't you with the guys?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I missed you too" she said and hugged me.

"You missed me? When did you have time for it?"

"Shut up" she said and kissed me.

I heard some noises behind me and then a big long "Awwww". I turned around and saw that Jay stood behind the fence watched us.

"I'll drown you!" I said and climbed on the fence, trying not to fall because I didn't feel like going to the hospital again.

 The guys from the band, Joanne, Michael and Jimmy were already there and they were staring at me like I'm a basket case.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry" Jay said while laughing when I caught him.

"Next time I will kill you!" I said and sat next to the pool.

Chris sat next to me, laughing. Tim and Shaun started laughing too. In few seconds everybody except for me was laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"You're such an idiot" Tim said and sprayed water all over me.

"You're an idiot" I said and jumped into the water.

"Thanks Frank, now I'm wet too" Chris told me.

"Sorry" I said, got out of the water and sat back next to her.

"I'm wetter now" she said and kissed me.

"And even more now" I said and kissd her.

"Will you stop, please? It's gross" Jimmy said, smiling. "There are things that I don't wanna see my sister and her boyfriend doing"

"This is not gross, that's cute" Jay said and smiled "Mike, can you please hug me? I feel so lonely when these two are acting like that" Jay said. Michael came closer to him and kissed him. Shaun and Joanne looked at each other and started laughing.

"What's this about?" Neil asked them.

"Nothing" Joanne answered and laughed even louder.

We all sat there together until the sunset. It was so much fun and everybody were so happy and I just didn't want this day to end. The only thought in my mind when I went to sleep that night was that I really don't want anything to change.

 Well, things can't stay the same, right? So many things changed since that evening and truly, I wouldn't like them to be like they were again.

Everything about the band can't be any better. In the passes year we performed over 20 times and it was a lot of fun. The fact that it was our last year in school and that we needed to work super hard didn't influence Neil, his great ideas turned into seven great new songs that we all love. Well, the fact that we needed to work super hard for school did influence Chris and me. I was busy in school and the band all the time and she was busy in learning and…I don't know. Anyway, we broke up maybe three days before my birthday. It wasn't a bad break up because we didn't fight or something like that, we just saw that we were too busy for being with each other. At least that's why I wanted to break up with her, I'm not sure if she wanted to break up from the same reason. School didn't bothered Shaun and Joanne too much (unfair, they're too good at school!) and they didn't even come close to breaking up. Jimmy and Tommy's lives were much easier than ours since it wasn't their last year at school so Jimmy started dating with some girl (he got angry at her because she called him in the middle of the night so he told her that she's a crazy bitch and she doesn't like him too much now) and Tommy found himself a boyfriend. Turns out that he has a boyfriend long time before his 16 birthday, when he told us that he has a boyfriend. His boyfriend was that Steve and was the reason that Tommy decided not to come for our end of summer party.

Umm…What's more? Oh, Neil and Tim are still living in the same apartment only now Neil is not the only one that working. Well, I think that the only three things that haven't change are that Uncle Ben still doesn't want Jay to come back home, John is still running to my house every time that he gets sick of seeing Will and Allie making out and I'm still running to his house every time I get sick of seeing Jay and Michael making out. And believe me- I'd like it to change too.
