Chapter 7
"Hey frank man you ok?" asked Mikey walking towards where Frank was standing. Frank shook his head and quickly turned around.
"Yeh I'm fine"
Across the street Gerard watched Frank turn away from the window, he knew the new kid had saw the kiss. He don’t know why so happy that Frank saw, it wasn’t as if he wanted to make Frank jealous was it? He shook that feeling that was becoming very familiar out of his head and walked back in side and to his bedroom.
He didn’t know why he had done that, he usually wasn’t into one night stands but today he just felt like he, he needed a good lay and he had, but it wasn’t as satisfying as he thought it would have been. He lay on the bed and closed his eyes, waiting for the sun to go down and the night sky that he loved so much to appear.
"Hey Frank we’re heading off now" said Bill motioning to him, Tom. Amy, Hannah and Mikey. "We’re heading over to Mikeys, we’re staying the night so why don’t we meet up and walk to school together?"
They all agreed and said their goodbyes, soon after Bob and Ray left too, leaving Frank alone in his room. Sure he was happy he had new friends but he couldn’t help feeling they were all hiding something from him, but he wasn’t going to pry he had only known them a day, course he couldn’t know everything already. But he had a feeling and it wouldn’t go away.
The 5 of them wandered across the street and went into the Way household. Bill, Tom and Amy went into the lounge and made themselves at home on the various sofas and chairs.
"Hannah, go and sit in there a minute I need to go and talk to Gerard" Mikey said motioning towards the door that lead to his brothers bedroom.
Heading down the steps, Mikey knocked on the wooden door, he knew from previous experiences that its always best to knock on his bedroom door if you wanted to make it back upstairs alive, his brother always liked his privacy.
The door slowly creaked open and Gerard stood in the doorframe and allowed Mikey into his room.
"What do you want?" Gerard said, slightly irritated, why couldn’t people just leave him alone?
"I just wanted to tell you that we’re going out tonight for food, and considering you haven’t done it in ages we thought you might want to join us?" Mikey said, trying to avoid the real reason he came down here, he didn’t want his head bitten off just yet by his brothers razor sharp teeth.
"Yeh sure whatever" there was no emotion in his brothers voice. "Is that it?"
Mikey sighed, he was going to have to confront his brother wether he liked it or not.
"Gerard, whats gotten into you lately? First that ****ed up outburst in the Park and who the **** was that random girl you brought back into the house?"
"Firstly its nothing and secondly, she is none of your damn business" How dare he think that he had to explain his own actions to his brother, he was ****ing 18, he didn’t need to explain anything to anyone.
"See, your doing it again,"
"Mikey just **** off" Why doesn’t he just drop it? Seriously little brothers are so annoying. Gerard made a mental note to put a lock on that door.
"Dude, Frank thinks its all his fault and that hes done something wrong"
"I don’t ****ing care what he thinks now get the **** out of my room"
Finally Mikey got the message and left.
Later that evening when Gerard had calmed down a bit and the night sky was shining over the city, Gerard emerged from his bedroom and joined the others in the lounge who were watching TV and he smiled, no matter what, his friends and his brother were there for him, these were the people he was closet to, sure he loved Ray and Bob but with these 5 people in front of him he had a special bond that couldn’t be broken. He remembered what Mikey had said earlier about going out for something to food.
"Shall we go then? I'm starving!"
