I sit here on an arbitrary couch in Angels & Kings, waiting for Pete to come back. He excused himself about 30 minuets ago. I gave up hope about 10 minutes ago. I just stay here partially for courtesy, and partially because it is too early to leave. So yeah, I will sit here and drink, and party it up; like everyone expects Travie to do.
But I look up and I see them, sitting down at a booth together. It only takes a second for that pain to come back; infiltrating my chest, crushing my lungs and heart, making it near impossible to breathe. I did get over it, I let go and forgave them. Gabe is a better person, a better man for William than I would ever be.
That doesn’t help the sting when I see them though. We have all moved on. We all have new lives. We are all enjoying the good life. And we all actually see each other a lot these days.
I see William at functions and such. We have some performances that we still do together for MTV and shit. Sure the same passion we had on stage is gone, but the fans don’t seem to notice. They just listen to the music; and some try to throw themselves to us. Same as always.
Me and Gabe still hang out, even hit up some parties together. I even helped Cobra finish up their second record. We don’t talk like we use to, but its not like a lot of people understood the relationship we had. Only a few people got it.
I watch them for a while. Gabe slinks his arm around William’s shoulders and he responds with a smile. Under the table William rests his hand on Gabe’s knee, and Gabe lays his other hand on top; and they interlace fingers. William lays his head down on Gabe’s shoulder, and Gabe gives him a quick kiss on the top of his head. Their movements are all so fluid. To those not paying attention they’d never notice; but here I am, able to read these two completely. Subtle, but the love is there. It’s there, that they have a lot of it.
Right now they are on tour together, finishing up the last leg of it. But I know that soon Gabe is heading back out with Cobra. I also know how William gets lonely, and I know that they are out trying to soak up as much time as they can together. Watching them can conjure up mixed feelings; I feel hurt but at the same time, I am delighted that these two people found a special person, made just for them. Even though I miss the relationships that we all use to have; I love them, and I am happy for them both.
William looks up, and sees me seeing them. A timid smile slides across his face and he gives me a shy little wave. I smile and wave back. Yeah them happy makes me happy for sure.
“Travie? Let’s get you mingling man…” I follow the hand on my shoulder up to Pete’s face.
“Yeah. Got any new cool peeps to meet?”
“Oh of course. I’m motherfuckin’ Pete Wentz. Everyone wants to meet me…”
“Lead the way man.”
