Autumn had a blank expression on her face as soon a they had both left.
She noticed in the corner of her eye that Maggie O had been placed back perfectly in her spot.
She turned to her computer, obeying Bob's orders, said hi and decided to go to sleep, she was tired. Today had been a very, very long day.

"Okay, sure." Gerard nodded.
He finished her hair which, completed, didn't look terrible.
"Look, it's getting late, so I should probably walk you home. Also, for some reason I have the idea that Mikey's mad at me, although I'm not quite sure why. I'll have to sort that out. Though, I might just ignore it."
He walked her home, arranging plans for the next day and kissed her gently, (all this out of the sight of her parents of course.)
Then went back home to bed.
Mikey could do whatever he wanted, he needed to sleep.

Nic fell asleep with a smile on her face that night. She was the happiest she had been in quite a while. The next day, she got up quickly, hiding up in her room until her parents went off to work. She went to the bathroom and cleaned up a bit, before heading downstairs for some much needed coffee. As she was pouring the cup, the doorbell rang…
Frank woke up early again. Insomnia was really starting to weight on his nerves. He had spent part of the night chatting with Bob and Mikey, and then he went to bed. He got up and took a quick shower, then went to the phone. He called up Autumn and asked her to meet him at Starbucks. Maybe today he could get a cup of coffee without it being spilled.

Autumn was just having some breakfast when the phone rang. She scuttled out of her chair and ran over to the phone, her mom giving her odd looks as she did it.
"Hello?" she talked to Frank with a smile on her face and agreed to meet him at starbucks.
Getting off the phone she went back to her toast.
"How'd your date go last night?" she asked her mom carefully, usually the answer wasn't "swell". "Alright, he wasn't any hottie. Sounds like yours went better."
Autumn blushed, finished the last bite and ran to her room to get dressed.
-
She was out the door in about ten minutes and at starbucks in another ten.
"Hey!" she greeted Frankie with a hug, "Let's get some coffee, we might need a lucky charm for you."

Gerard got up a little early, about nine, to go make some coffee. He decided not to say anything, but to silently make another truce. For what, he wasn't sure.
Right, he had to knock. Man, oh man.
He decided to wait until Mikey got up to leave for Nic's, but by the time he finished his coffee he had changed his mind.
He jot down a note and headed towards her house, relieved when he saw that neither of the cars were in the driveway.
"You're hair's gone," he fake-pouted when she opened the door.

Ray was already wide awake by the time they were just waking up. His neighbours had decided to play their very crappy music, very loudly, so although he was awake, he was not in the mood for bullshit.
After he had taken a shower and gotten dressed, it was off to starbucks.
He was surprised when he was Frank and Autumn there, and wasn't sure whether to ignore them or not when he heard his name called.

Frank laughed at Autumn’s little joke and pretended to glance around. “Well, I don’t see coffee girl around anywhere, so maybe it’ll make it to my seat.” He ordered his usually, waited for Autumn to order and paid for both. He sat down with a sigh of relief. “Looks like luck is on our side today.” He gave her a grin before chugging his coffee.
Nic smiled as she opened the door for Gerard, coffee still in hand. She laughed and kissed his pout away quickly before letting him inside. “I’m sorry. It didn’t last very well through the night, and believe me; you don’t want to see my morning hair.” She sat down on the couch, tucking her legs underneath her and sipped her coffee, eyeing Gerard out of the corner of her eye.

Autumn ordered a tall vanilla latte, which was very good on windy days like today.
She noticed Ray standing slouched in the line and called his name out, giving worried glances at Frank as she did.
He turned around and walked over with his coffee in hand, bags under his eyes.
"Woah, man. You look rough."
He explained his adventures of the night before, then finished his coffee in one gulp.
Autumn started laughing and Ray gave her the biggest glare he had ever given anyone, so she stopped.
"I wasn't laughing about your night, sorry I've got a short attention span. I was just thinking... You guys will thinks it's insane, but I have free coupons to a massage place that my aunt used to work at. Ray, you look like you could use it."

Gerard sat down carefully on the sofa, trying not to touch anything.
Would her parents figure out that someone had been here?
He decided that if he stayed on this couch for any longer, he'd have much improved posture.
"So... you said you had something to show me yesterday...?"

Franks eyes expanded nearly to the size of the Goodyear blimp. “Massages?! Hell yes!” His excitement had gotten the best of him and he’s forgotten his manners. “Oh, I’m sorry. I mean, if you don’t mind Autumn. That would be lovely.”
Nic noticed Gerard’s awkwardness and was immediately sorry for the position he was in. Her face was washed with sympathy. “Don’t worry about messing anything up. I have to clean the house today anyway.” She finished her coffee and set it down. “Yeah. It’s in my room. Let me just put my mug in the kitchen and we’ll go up to it.” She set her mug down in the sink then led Gerard to her room. It wasn’t as bad as it usually was, meaning it was clean but completely cluttered. There were AP magazines laying around, posters on every inch of the walls and sheets of paper everywhere. She got to her knees and dug under her bed before pulling out a big five star notebook. “This is my lyric book. It got every song I’ve ever written in it since 7th grade. Don’t ask why it’s under the bed.” She smiled nervously before handing it to him.

Gerard looked at the binder in his hands before carefully opening it. He was amazed, there had to be at least a hundred songs in it, even if some of the beginning ones were half scribbled out.
"This is incredible," he flipped to the back where some of the newest songs were and started to read the lyrics. He could almost read her mood while he looked at them and could totally see them becoming songs.
"This is amazing."

Autumn laughed and Ray sleepily agreed, so they finished their coffees and headed back to her house.
She grabbed the coupons from on top of the fridge and called a taxi.
"It's a little while away."
By the time they got there it looked like Ray was about to collapse again, so they hurried inside.
The place was very sterile, but didn't smell like cleaning products. Aside from the crazy amounts of fake plants, the place was actually pretty nice.
((I have no idea what one of these places looks like, so I'm just guessing. xD))

Frank looked around at all the pink walls and fake palm trees. The place looked so synthetic, but it was kind of calming as well. Still, he felt very out of place within the settings. This wasn’t really his kind of scene. The only thing that kept him there was the need to relieve some tension. “So…uh, how does this thing work?” Nic’s smile widened at his words and moved to sit beside him on the bed. “Really? I always just thought they were kind of dumb. I only do them because it helps get all the emotions out you know. I think if I didn’t write so much, I’d burst.”
((lol, don't feel bad, neither do I))

((I've got to go after this post.))
"Honestly, I have no idea."
Autumn walked to the reception desk and talked to the lady, mentioning her aunt. She looked pretty friendly and took her coupons, then took them to a large room, that had dressing rooms within it.
They all changed into white fluffy bath robes and then were led to another room with massage beds.
Frank and Autumn hopped onto one, and Ray fell onto one.
When the people came out Autumn giggled. This was insane.
But the massage was worth it.
When they came out of the building Frank and her were both half asleep and Toro WAS asleep.
They called another taxi and decided they better take him home.

Gerard nodded knowingly. "Same here. I draw too. Another good outlet. And sing. But I guess that pretty much goes hand in hand with song writing. You can sing well too."
