The Only Hope For Me Is You

Part 5

Wren’s POV:

 I brushed Pansy’s red curls, I felt pretty bad for her- inheriting my red hair and curls was pretty bad, luckily she had it easy with her dad’s soft brown eyes that were sure to melt hearts when she got older… Not that my hair was horrible, it was just difficult and took daily straightening.

  Pansy ran to her bed and pulled the covers around her and I was about to say goodnight when I saw Percy clinging to Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. “Mommy! I want to hear daddy!” He said and then started Pansy up, she threw her covers off and nodded.

    “Okay, you can listen to one song- which one?” I asked and took the CD before heading to their little stereo. It was only a second before they both had the same song in mind- I found it odd that Percy and Pansy hadn’t just turned out as twins, they were a year apart but both had the same red hair only Percy’s was straighter like Frank’s and both had his amazing eyes and our height issues. Taffy was already taller than Percy and she was the same age.

     “I’m Not Okay!” They screamed and I smiled with a nod, I clicked on the forward button until I got to song 5, then I stopped and I’m Not Okay started ip. They both cheered before starting to sing along, I smiled and left them with their song.

I could hear their singing from the kitchen and I heard the loud ‘beep’ noise they made instead of the word fucking and they screamed “Trust me” when Frank said it. Those two were going to have the bet taste in music out of their whole prep school.

I sat on the kitchen counter, I got lost in thought- I kept thinking about the first times I’d met Poppy. That first night I saw her at the party and I knew right then and there that I was never going to have Mikey back while she was around, and at first I had been jealous but as soon as I saw the way Mikey looked at her I just felt happy for them and then I met Frank… Frank? Where was he anyway?

When I’m Not Okay finished I stood and headed in to turn the stereo off, I tucked Percy and Pansy in and I only just made it out of their room before my mobile rang. “Hello?”

   “Uh… Hey babe.” It was Frank and he sounded weird, I was about to ask if he was drunk when he kept talking. “Can you pick me up Downtown?... I think I have a concussion.” He mumbled.

   “What happened?” I questioned and at myself down.

   “Er, Mikey and I got into a little bit of a fight with some guys and yeah… Can you please pick me up?” Frank begged and I sighed.

    “Um, yeah. Just, I need to see if Gee can come and watch the kids-”

    “Actually, you might want to ask if Gee can come… He’ll need to straighten out Mikey.” Frank mumbled and I sighed.

Gerard’s POV:

  I started getting into my skeleton pyjamas when someone was at the front door and Leda answered it, I heard her talking to Wren.

I walked out and Wren gave me ‘the look’. I sighed, “What’s Frank done?”

   “Apparently he and Mikey got into a fight. Can you come with me to get them?” Wren asked, she had Percy and Pansy holding her hands and looking like thy were about to fall asleep any second. I nodded and she smiled in thanks, I grabbed Percy for her while she picked up Pansy and we took them to the sofa where Leda started piling cushions and blankets for them.

    “I’ll see you in a bit.” I mumbled and kissed her, Leda smiled- she looked so beautiful in her plain black shirt that clung to her round belly, she was so perfect.

I got changed into some black jeans and a jacket over my singlet before Wren and I got into her VW Beatle (sorry Wrennie >.<). “Do you know any details?” I asked as we headed off toward Downtown LA.
