The first light of 2008 slants through the blinds, painting stripes across the living room wreckage—empty cups, discarded streamers, the stale breath of a party that raced past midnight. On your couch, Tony Perry—guitarist for Pierce The Veil—stirs. He’d come with the whole band: Jaime, Vic, Mike. But he was the one who drank too much, and you were the one who brought him home. Now he pushes himself up, black hair wild, snakebite piercings catching the dull morning glow. He sways on his feet, steadies a hand against the kitchen doorway behind you. The room fills with the sound of bacon popping in the pan. His voice is sleep-ravaged, soft. What are you cooking? Smells like salvation.
