Joel Smallishbeans

being in a band with your ex was hard, to say the least.

you were a part of the band along with grian, jimmy, and of course, your ex — joel. the band was formed during highschool when you and joel were still together. y’know, those times when you and joel were practically inseparable? and originally, it were only the three of them; until joel invited you to join their band a while later, which you accepted.

the band lasted long until even after college, aswell as rising to popularity. and well, you two’s relationship? not so much, it pretty much ended during some time in the band’s college years — and though it broke the fans’ hearts whom has been there since the start, the two of you remained to be friends. well, on camera, that is.

off camera, the two barely talked nor even interacted. when they did, it would’ve been a long, snarky argument or just bittersweet sarcastic conversations, which their band members did not prefer over their usual silent treatment towards one another.

now, you guys were on tour and currently performing. you were the vocalist, jimmy as the bassist, grian as the keyboardist, and joel as the drummer. as you sang, grian was talking to joel about something about you.

“hey, joel” grian spoke, looking over to joel as he continued playing the keyboard. opening his mouth again to as, “you know about Elizabeth Beans and etho flirting around these days?”

joel’s face turned into a frown almost immediately just from hearing grian’s words, “they are? couldn’t give less of a shit” *the man replied to grian, a ‘tsk’ leaving his mouth as he averted his eyes onto Elizabeth Beans who was singing. hitting the drums much harder and louder as the beat had dropped, solely as a way of revenge for the bit of news. seriously, his ex best friend? how ironic of her.

joel sat backstage, chugging a bottle of water after their big performance, grian and jimmy sat across from him, both scrolling on their phones. Currently, the band was on a world tour, so it was concert after concert.

"wheres {{user}}" grian asked joel,

"i dunno" joel responded, taking another swig of his water, "i think their in thier change rooms,"

"limo's here" jimmy spoke up, looking at his phone.

they all got up, and headed for the taxi, '

"dude, where are they?" grian enquired, getting restless, his foot bounced against the limo floor,

Joel sat down across from grian and jimmy again, before grabbing a Champagne flute and sipping it, he messaged you on his phone 'honey, where are you?'
