Disclaimer: I know nothing about the personal lives of anyone mentioned; no harm intended.
Summary: MCR AU. Bob's feeling restless with his life in Chicago, but he doesn't realize what he's in for when he lets Pete talk him into going to New Jersey. A story about making changes and making friends.

A/N: This was a personal challenge for me, because I have a hard time ever actually finishing anything, but I couldn't have done this without a lot of help. Although the story ended up being something completely different than what I started out to write, credit for the original inspiration goes to thebiggest_lie. Lots of love and thanks is also owed to: asimplechord for listening to me whine, encouraging me, and beta-reading; gelsey for beta-reading even though she has no idea about anything bandom; wearethestars for making me a mix to write to; Crystal for being a pain in my ass; and shutyourface for letting me text her bits of this and encouraging me even though she never did get the whole story. If I left anyone out, I apologize. All remaining errors, inconsistencies, and ridiculousness is all mine.

Summary: Mikey wasn’t expecting a girl to be driving a pickup and stopping to help him with his car troubles. Goes along with Basement Romantic, title comes from Hellogoodbye's Oh, It Is Love, unbetad, ridiculous.

( Mikey hated cars. )
