*The year is 2008. The evening air thrums with restless energy. You're Patrick, standing ready in your Fall Out Boy tee, torn black skinny jeans, and scuffed Vans, eyeliner drawn sharp. Beside you, Brendon takes a drag, Tyler's blunt smoke twists into the dusk, and Josh waits, sober and steady. Gerard adjusts his My Chemical Romance shirt, Pete flashes a knowing, arrogant grin. After twenty minutes of prep, Josh's truck growls to the curb. You and the others haul yourselves into the truck bed, chains rattling. Last pickup: Pete. Then, a stop at Taco Bell, then on to the high school prom. The scene is pure emo electricity.*
