(Evan's Pov)
I walked out of the house with Brandon and we started walking down to the graveyard. We cut through the park and took the short cut to the graveyard and once we were there, I opened the gate and we walked inside to get to my brothers grave. I was carrying a bottle of nail polish remover to get the graffiti off of the gravestone. Brandon followed close behind me with a sponge in his hands and once we were at his grave we sat down.
"Hey Brandon?" I said, remembering the incident that happened here before.
"Hmm?" He said.
"I'm sorry about pushing you and everything I said." I said. He smiled at me and shrugged.
"It's behind us, let's just get this cleaned up." Brandon said. I smiled and nodded. I took the sponge and poured some remover on it. I wiped the graffiti and smiled when it came off.
"Perfect, thanks for the idea." I said.
"I know, I'm a genius! Go ahead and say it." He said. I rolled my eyes and turned to him.
"I'd say more of an above average idiot." I said. He pouted and said
"You're so mean to me!" I laughed and pulled him into a hug.
"But you're my little idiot." I said. He tried to look upset but ended up smiling and kissing me. I kissed him back and he said
"Okay, so maybe I am an i***t sometimes... but I am your i***t! So you're an i***t for dating a i***t!" I started laughing and s hook my head.
"Oh gosh, I love it when you try to come up with comebacks." I said. He pouted again and crossed his arms.
"My comebacks are good! Your's are just a little better..." I chuckled and shook my head again and started cleaning again. After I was done I set the flower I got for him on his grave and smiled. "You're such a sweet person." I smiled at Brandon and said
"I can be, I also can be, as you know, a complete asshole." He nodded and grabbed my hand.
"Do you want to go to Rider's house to see if they heard anything yet?" Brandon said. I nodded and we started walking to Rider's house. Once there we saw Rider in the garage on his cell phone. He turned around, smiled brightly, and put his phone away.
"You guys must be mind readers because I was just trying to call you! We have awesome news!" He said. I smiled and said
"What news?"
"Tony just called us and he wants to sign us! He says he wants us to go on tour to promote our new album that he's working on!" Are jaws dropped and we stared at him in shock.
"You're messing with us!" Brandon said. Rider smirked and shook his head.
"Nope, we meet with him tomorrow." Rider said.
"OH MY GLOB, WE'RE GOING TO BE FAMOUS!" Brandon said, or rather yelled. They all laughed and Brandon then had a confused look on his face.
"Wait, what about school?" He asked.
"s**t, I completely forgot you guys are still in school. You'll have to ask your parents if you want to go on tour." Rider said. We nodded and we started running home. Once we got there we ran into the house and I leaned over, dying for breath. Brandon looked like he was going to pass out and he collapsed on the floor. My eyes widened and his parents came rushing over.
"Brandon, honey are you okay?!" Mrs. Cammy said. Brandon held up a finger and spoke into the carpet.
"I'm okay, just dying for air." His muffled voice said. Mrs. Cammy shook her head and rolled her eyes while his dad was trying not to laugh.
"Honestly dear, what had you guys running into the house dying for breath?" She said.
"We just got told we need to go on tour!" Brandon said, jumping up. They looked at us shocked before saying
"What about school?"
"That's what we needed to talk to you about..." I said. They nodded and we all sat on the couches.
"How are you going to go on tour and be in school at the same time?" Mr. Peter said.
"Mom, dad, I'm dropping out of school." Brandon said. They looked at each other and bit their lips.
"Honey, are you sure about this? I know your music is important to you but, do you really think that this is the best choice? And I'm talking to both of you when I say this." Mrs. Cammy said.
"Mommy, we need to do this! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity!" Brandon said.
"I'm not saying you can't, I'm making sure you really want to do this!" She exclaimed. I bit my lip and nodded, Brandon looked thoughtful and he then smiled and nodded his head.
"We're sure." I said. hey both smiled at us and Mr. Peter said
"I'll stop by the school tomorrow and sign the papers. When do you guys leave?"
"I'll call Rider and ask him later on." Brandon said. His parents got up and hugged each of us.
"You have no idea how happy I am for you guys." Mrs. Cammy said.
"I know mommy, but you sound like you're about to cry." Brandon said.
"I'll just miss my baby." She said. "And I'll miss you too Evan, you're such a sweet boy." She said.
"I'll miss you guys too." I said, all of a sudden feeling emotional. This is the first real family I ever had, and soon I wont see them for a couple of months! Mrs. Cammy pulled away from Brandon and wiped her eyes. She gave us a sad smile and said
"I'm so proud of you two, we both are." She put her arm around Mr. Peter and they smiled at us.
"You two go upstairs while I get dinner ready."Mrs. Cammy said. We nodded and went upstairs and Brandon called Rider and told him everything. 5 mintutes of celebration later, we hung up and Brandon tackled me on the bed.
"Hey Evan?" Brandon said sweetly.
"Yes?"
"When we get fans, you're not going to leave me for a fangirl or boy, right?" He asked worried. I leanded down and kissed his forehead. He smiled at me and I laughed.
"Of course not, I would never leave you." I said and he yawned. His eyes drifted close and the last thing he said had me shocked.
"Good, I love you."
Did he realize what he just said?!
