Why this must be read:
This is a Chicago AU where the guys all form bands in different combinations. Patrick drums for a band made up of Jon Walker from Panic, William Beckett from The Academy Is... and Nick Wheeler from All-American Rejects. When Tom Conrad quits, they recruit New Jersey transplant Frank Iero to play lead guitar. Patrick's gone from pretty much the moment they lay eyes on each other. The world the author creates is fascinating. I was particularly glad that Patrick and Pete were still best friends, despite not playing in the same band.
Patrick had been staring at his phone for ten minutes. He’d called everyone he knew who could play, or who used to play, or who might know a kid who played. No one could fill in long-term and Patrick was loathe to just start working with subs. They’d had a rickety start with Bill on guitar and Patrick had already had to re-teach all the lead parts to Nick. Which had been easy as hell, but still. There weren’t a lot of guitarists in the world as easy to work with as Nick Fucking Wheeler.
“Did you talk to Pete?” Nick asked. Patrick stared at him.
“No. I’ve been freaking out about this for days, and I didn’t think to call the one guy who knows the whole fucking Chicago scene,” he replied sarcastically. Nick didn’t even flinch.
“And?”
“And what? And he doesn’t have any bright ideas, other than the kid who bought Pete’s old guitar from him two months ago. But I’m pretty sure he just uses it to jack off and pretend Pete’s there, so.”
Nick grimaced and put his beer down on the table with a thump. ‘Oh, fuck, that’s. You could have said ‘He doesn’t know anyone’ and left it at that. That’s disgusting.”
