Mikey's POV
We practiced for about two hours and stopped when Rays fingers began to bleed and Gerard had that crack in his voice that made my stomach knot, but then my teeth would grit and my jaw would tighten when I remembered the fact that he told me he didn't want me.
The minute we were done I walked outside and lit a cigarette. Followed by the others although I'd rather be alone I ended with them out there conversating as normal, as if I wasn't here.
I really get the vibe that they don't need me around and a lot of the time I just wonder if they'd keep going without me. "Frankie.." A shrill voice caught my attention and I looked up at them with a smile. Jamia, thank god for Jamia. She was apparently the girl he left Gee for and the look of shock on Franks face and the look of hurt on Gerard's made me smile.
You don't turn down Mikey Way. I watched as Jamia slapped Gerard and drug Frank away. There was a silence in the air that I'm sure felt very different for all of us, Ray shifted uncomfortably and Gerard looked frozen in his spot. My happiness was cut short by guilt and pity for Gee.
I stood up and walked over to him, "Come on, you'll be alright." I said putting my arm around him and leading him off the porch waving bye to Ray with my free hand. He waved back and headed back inside his house, Gerard looked at me and I looked back waiting on him to speak. "Why are you being nice to me?" I didn't respond I just wrapped my arms around him and let him cry against my shoulder.
I hated the fact that he was upset and knowing that he was upset because of that short little prick made me want to hate him, but I couldn't bring myself to honestly be mad, Gerard was just going for what his heart was telling him. My heart may have been telling me I wanted him, but sometimes I won't get what I want, and I knew that, soon I found myself crying too.
