I'm Not Okay, (I Promise) ~A Mikey Way Love Story

21 - When You Grow Up

Cole POV

Today is November sixteenth. Today is my birthday. Goodbye eighteen, hello nineteen. I got out of bed and walked out to the living room. 'Scream 3' was playing on the TV and someone lit a cinnamon scented candle.

"My favorite movie, plus my favorite candle, but no Mikey?" I said to myself. That's kind of odd. Oh, well. I sat down on the couch and watched the movie. A few minutes into it, I felt a soft pressure against my neck. I turned slightly and saw Mikey smiling at me.

"Happy birthday." Mikey said. I smiled and kissed him. For the first time, I felt shivers go down my spine. I don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad thing. I'm guessing it's a good thing. He pulled away and just stared at me.

"So what do you want to do today?" He asked. I thought about it.

"Watch movies and make out." I said, sounding like a fifteen year old.

"Okay." Mikey said, smirking. He sat next to me on the couch and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. He pressed his lips to mine, once again sending shivers down my spine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his around my waist. I ran my fingers through his hair. His tongue glided across my lower lip, asking for entrance. I teased him and kept my mouth closed. He tickled my rib cage, causing me to laugh. He took this as an opportunity to sneak his tongue into my mouth. Our tongues moved together in a synchronized rhythm.

After what could have been an hour or a minute, we pulled away, panting. I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder. We watched the movie for a few more minutes, before starting another heated make out session.

"Happy Birth- HOLY SHIT, COLE AND MIKEY ARE MAKING OUT!" I heard Cassie scream. I pulled away from Mikey and glared at her.

"Cass, how the hell did you get in?" I asked. I didn't even hear the door open. Then again, I was focused on other things.

"I have a key." She said, casually.

"We never gave you a key." I said, looking from Mikey to Cassie.

"Well, remember a few months ago, when Mikey gave me your keys?" She asked. I nodded. "Well, I made copies of all of them."

"Cassie!" I yelled. She just shrugged. "Why are you here, anyway?" I asked.

"Oh, yeah, happy birthday!"

"Finally nineteen." I said. She pulled an envelope out of her jeans pocket and handed it to me. Inside there was a homemade card that looked like a five-year-old made it. It said 'Happy Birthday, Cole!' on the front in black crayon.

"Frank made it." She said, laughing. That explains why it looks like a five-year-old made it. Inside the card was an ultrasound picture. On it, in silver sharpie, said 'Payton Cole Iero.' It took me a minute to figure out what that meant.

"His middle name is Cole?" I asked, looking up at Cassie. She smiled and nodded. I tightly hugged her and started lightly crying.

"Cole, are you crying?" Cassie asked.

"Don't judge me!" I said, in defence. I went to go put the picture in my room. I heard someone walk in after me. I turned and saw Mikey standing in the doorway. He walked over to me and put his hands on my hips. "Now, where were we?" He said. He leaned down and gently kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and slid my tongue into his mouth.

"HOLY CRAP, THEY'RE MAKING OUT AGAIN!" I heard Cassie scream. I pulled away and sighed. I looked over at Cassie and saw she was recording us on her phone.

"Cassandra! A little privacy would be nice!" I said.

"Nicole, I'm your best friend and I'm carrying your nephew. Expect me to walk in whenever the fuck I want." She said. They way she said it caused me to laugh. It was so casual.

"Did you seriously have to record it, though?" I asked. She nodded.

"Frank wanted to see what happened." These midgets are going to be the death of me.

"Well, I gotta go. Happy birthday, Pixie." Cassie said, hugging me. She left, leaving me and Mikey alone.

"I have a surprise for you." Mikey said, eagerly.

"What?"

"Well, tomorrow, My Chemical Romance and a few other bands are doing a concert, and Gerard wants you to go onstage and sing with him." Mikey said, all in one breath. My jaw dropped.

"What bands?" I asked.

"Panic! At The Disco, All Time Low, and Automatic Loveletter." Oh, my god. My four favorite bands, and I get to sing in front of them.

"O-okay" I said, a little nervously. He smiled and hugged me.

"You'll do great!" Mikey said.

"You have way to much faith in me, you know that right?" I said. He smiled and kissed me.

"Yeah, I know, but I like it that way." He said, after pulling away. I smiled and hugged him. We went back into the living room and finished watching the movie. Well, technically we weren't watching it, because we would start making out  every five minutes.

And for the rest of the day, we watched movies and made out... a lot.

enjoy my pixies! it was kinda awkward writing this... Anyways, approxomently 12 weeks until Payton Cole Iero is born.
