My name is Wesley James Sullivan. My parents are both famous drummers and I have a twin sister names Samantha and a little brother named Alex. I have the best family I could ever ask for a secret no one knew, not even my twin.
I go to Huntington Beach high school with my cousins, Abby, and Philip. I have a pretty big family too. I mean all my aunts and uncles. It was crazy sometimes including the holidays, that got a lot worse. I mean my mom was a back up for my father and also a drummer for Mudvayne. Chad, the singer, is like a brother to her which is awesome since my mom had a screwed up family. But all that drama was long gone thanks to my dad. Those two taught me true love, I just hope they don't mind when it is with another guy. Strange right? Well that's just me. I don't know why I'm like this but I know it's not Gods decision but my own.
The other crazy about me and my younger brother Alex, is that he has the same heart condition as my dad and my aunt Katie has it too, those two were actually related. So Katie and Brian were my actual aunt and uncle and Abby was my actual cousin. But none the less, I have schizophrenia just like my mom. She said she had it all her life and it just magically went away, which I don't believe since I saw her taking meds which my father doesn't know about. Oh the drama when he does find out.
My twin, Sam, she's like 100% healthy. It's like everything slipped her and went to me and my baby brother. She was born first, I was about 5 minutes behind her.
Well today is a concert day, those days are fun! Me and Sam and Alex get to skip school for the day, help my dad with his kit or my mom whomever is playing that day sometimes it was both. It was hard to have a rockstar family but you get used to it after so many times.
We had our own bus that we shared with Katie, Brian and Abby. We had a lot of family time with them. Our parents were close to one another which was cool and Abby and Sam were close to one another.
We were riding in our tour bus, heading to L.A. And my dad was asking when I was going to bring a girl home. I told him that I wasn't ready to date and he could only smile at me and tell me that I would be able to soon, no pressure. Yeah well that added pressure to me.
I wasn't the most popular kid around school, well neither was my sister or baby brother but I mean I didn't have any friends. I was the quiet shy kid who fallowed my parents foot steps in drumming. I was called a freak, beaten up at school. I have lied to my parents and my siblings so much it was sickening. I had long brown hair, wore glasses like my dad and I had this favorite black and white scarf I wore. I wore black nail palish which my uncles wore too, so my dad didnt mind that but the kids would call my gay which I was but it still hurt. Ok at least I think I was gay, I wasn't sure though.
"Wes?" I snapped out my day dreaming and looked over to my brother who was playing his PSP.
"Yeah?"
"Can you beat this for me?" He asked. His blue eyes looking into mine and I nodded giving him a smile. I loved my little brother with all my heart. I would do anything for him.
I beat the part of the game that he asked and his jaw dropped causing me to chuckle.
"I have been on that for days!" He whined. I shrugged.
"Beat it like nine times," I chuckled. He sighed and mumbled something and whined again when Sam came and ruffled my hair. My sister almost looked like my mom, well I did too but Alex was nearly my dads twin but he didn't have to die his hair black all the time like my dad did.
"What was that for?" Alex asked narrowing his eyes to Sam.
"For being a twerp," she chuckled and sat down next to me on the couch, "what up twinny?" She asked.
"Nothing just thinking," I said looking to my knees.
"Is it the voices again?" She asked lightly pulling me in a hug. I was so happy to have her. She understood everything that I was going through. She was always there for me and when she knew that when I said it was nothing she'd guess right away what it was and this time; she was right.
I nodded and wrapped my arms around her letting my head rest on her shoulder and she kissed the top of her head.
"I ran out of pills and forgot to tell mom and dad," I explained.
"If you tell them I bet dad can get someone to pick them up," I sighed and nodded. But stayed in her embarrass. I loved being held by my sister. It was the best feeling that I have had. She was amazing and always there for me, all of my family was well except for Zacky. Something happened with him and he was distant from everyone kind of, it was weird with him. Johnny was always the quiet type anyways so I guess it didn’t count.
“We almost there yet?”
“Your attention span child,” My father stated, “Is short,”
“Just figured that our dad?” Alex chuckled looking to his dad. Dad came over and ruffled his hair and looked to me and Sam.
“You two alright?” He asked looking to me specifically. I sighed.
“Ran out of pills again,” I whispered looking out the window. He was getting tired of me forgetting but I just kept forgetting because of my head always thinking and us being so busy all of the time.
I heard him groan and he pulled out his phone and called the local pharmacy in L.A. to get a refill while he went to the back of the tour bus were my mom was. She was drawing and just being alone like she did sometimes when she was drawing, just because it was quiet.
When we got to L.A., my baby brother was anxious to get out of the bus and to go outside. My sister was helping my dad unload his gear while I was with my mom getting our luggage inside the rental car so that we could go and check into our hotel.
I checked my phone feeling it buzz into my pocket and saw a notification on face book seeing that someone wanted to be a friend. I rolled my eyes and shoved it back into my pocket. Ever since the people at school found out who my parents were, they were always trying to get me to be friends with them and it made me pissed.
My mother and I drove to the hotel, leaving me in my thoughts, anxious to get my pills before something freaky would happen.
Again.
