I ended up leaving a sobbing Joey. It breaks my heart seeing him like that, but I can't keep doing this. I hate living in this big house, with all his cats without him. Don't get me wrong I love the cats, they didn't do anything wrong. I wish we could get split custody of them honestly. I love those damn cats, but anyways.
I went and stayed with my brother. I'm renting the extra room in his house out from him. Him, his wife and their five year old daughter all live there.
At first I had a really hard time with leaving Joey. I drank heavily. I know I'm the one who left him, but I knew I'd regret it when I'm sitting their all alone for a year. I do every-time.
(About a year later, 2007)
"Come on let's go out! You need to meet someone." My sister in law, Melissa pulls on my arm.
"I have too met people!"
"Flings don't count!"
I roll my eyes at her and flip her off. She gets up and walks over to my closet. She pulls out a skirt and a crop corset top. She chucks it at me.
"Can you Atleast hand me fishnets."
She pulls out a pair from my top drawer and hands it to me aswell.
"Fine I'll go." I roll my eyes and put the clothes on. She claps. "I'll go get dressed and tell your brother!"
I nod and touch up my makeup, throwing on a little bit more black eyeshadow under my eyes. I brush out my knotted hair.
We leave in her car to the club that's half an hour away from us. We park and go inside.
Melissa and Brian are weird. Like they are totally fine with the other person flirting and making out with other people, it's fucking weird to me. I could NEVER I'm way too jealous.
We go over and sit down at the counter, a guy tried to talk to me but I wasn't feeling it. Melissa got pulled away by a group of guys who she's now belly dancing on. I down the last bit of my drink, and wait for the bartender to come back over.
"Can I buy you a drink?" A mans voice echoed behind me.
I shrug. "Yeah sure." I don't bother too look over at him, just at the empty glass in-front of me. I feel a body sit down beside me.
"Hey uh can you get a mango margarita."
"That's my fav-." I look up too see Joey sitting beside me, "oh..hi."
"Hey." He smiles at me.
"Um how are you?" I ask.
He shrugs taking a sip of his beer. "I'm alright."
I nod.
"How about you? What have you been up too?" He turns his body towards me, so I do the same.
"Not much honestly. I work, go home drink, and hang out with my niece." I nod, thanking the bartender for bringing my drink.
"If I'm being honest, sums up my life right now."
We're both lost without eachother and we both know it.
"You guys on tour?" I feel kinda awkward asking.
"No. We're working on another album that will come out next year, then we'll do tour."
"Oh fun."
"The album is called All Hope Is Gone."
..why is he telling me? I thought he couldn't say anything about it.
"Why are you telling me that? Can't you get in trouble?" I furrow my eyebrows.
He shrugs. "I trust you b- y/n."
