"Do you know Blind Melon?" Bert asked suddenly, fidgeting with his gloves. The bus they were settled in was shockingly silent for housing a band of rarely sober emo dudes.
"Not really. I think Mikey bought their self-titled album but I only really know that uhh-" Gerard paused for a second, before awkwardly breaking into song, "I don't understand why I sleep all dayyyy."
"Hm. You should listen to Mouthful Of Cavities when you get the chance. Reminds me of you."
Gerard raised an eyebrow at Bert's comment, "How so?"
Bert shrugged and half giggled.
“Alright well I'll give it a listen anyway."
Gerard had all but forgotten the whole conversation until he read over the lyrics for Sound Effects and Overdramatics, recognising the “I haven't seen him smile in a while" from the Blind Melon song Bert had brought up. He hummed, a small smile tugging at his lips.
"I can't believe you're doing this to me," Bert said, his voice shaking with anger. "I thought we had something special and now you're just throwing it all away."
Gerard tried to remain calm, despite Bert's defensive outburst. "I know this is hard for you, and I'm sorry," he said. "But we both know that things haven't been working out between us for a while now. I think it's best if we go our separate ways."
"Don't talk all- fuck- fuck this. Fuck you. Stop trying to be all sweet when this is your fault."
"I'm sorry that you're hurting right now," Gerard responded, apathetic. He could see that he wasn't getting through to Bert anyway.
The other vocalist's response was to slam his hand on the table and storm away. Gerard peered over at Bert’s iPod, laying discarded on the sheets. Paused was Mouthful Of Cavities by Blind Melon.
