Chapter 71: RELIEVED: NOAH

Quitting the band wasn't quite how I imagined it would be, and I was naïve to think the industry would simply let me walk away. There were still our contractual obligations to consider, and we were halfway through an album. I was leaving because I didn't want to be a part of the attention Fr8Load attracted, not to leave my friends and fans in the lurch.

So, I finished the album and a couple of other small but important events, then the band decided to fold. George supported my decision and although the others were more than a little pissed, I knew had it been the other way around they'd have done what was right for them too.

Once I had left performing behind, my life became more than I ever imagined it could be. Being a father to three kids came to me like it was the most natural thing in the world. My home life with Maggie and the kids was sheltered and sedate in comparison to my time with Fr8Load and I relished in it.
