Glimmer Of Hope

Emilie quickly pulled the letter away and told us to open ours first. I playfully rolled my eyes and turned the card over. I should've just read the address, stupid. It was from the BVB army informing me of a sweepstakes... I forgot I signed up for this. I sighed and skimmed through the letter. Blah blah bl- Andy Biersack. Wait what? I read back and it simply read,

'Hello there, Alex Quinn, this is the BVB army informing you of a sweepstakes to meet the one and only Andy Biersack!'

Ok now I'm interested. I raised one eyebrow and look up to see Emilie basically dying from eagerness. I glance at Marien who has a small smirk on her face.

We both look up and Emilie as she says "Well? What does it say?" Her voice drenched in eagerness

I shook my head and she furrows her eyebrows together.

"Why aren't you guys excited?" She demanded sounding hurt.

Marien got the courage to say first "Well it's just, we're not in high school anymore Emilie..." she said nervously.

Emilie crossed her arms and scoffed "What happened to you guys? You used to be fun! We used to go to parties and drink and hang out and be stupid all the time!"

Someone's on her period.

I guess it was my turn to speak. "We just grew up... you know? I mean this is cool but were not in High school anymore Emilie."

Emilie rolled her eyes and dropped down on her bed.

"Can you at least tell me who you got?" She whined.

"I got Oli." Marien happily said with a smile across her face.

"I got Andy." I tried not to smirk.

Emilie chuckled and said "I got the most adorable one. Chris Motionless!"

We all laughed and Marien sat next to Emilie on her bed. That left an awkward me just standing in the middle of the room.

"So... Are we gonna do it? " Emilie said breaking the silence.

"I don't see why not." Marien said shrugging her shoulders.

Emilie grabbed her tablet and played Of Mice & Men. We were humming along to Second and Sebring while Emilie found the website to enter at. She went first, Marien went second, and I of course, went last. After that, we didn't really have anything to do. So we were just jamming along with the music.

And I'm calling them immature.

After a while, I head home because I have homework that I need to procrastinate on. I of course still found my mom sleeping but she was on the floor... I grabbed a blanket like I usually do and put it on top of her.

Why do I do this?

Why do I stay here?

What the hell am I doing?
