I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

ａ ｂｉｔ ｃｌｏｓｅｒ

I woke to the sound of knocking on the door. My head was pounding with a headache and I turned to my side. My eyes flew open when I felt hands grab my wrist and pull me off of the bed. I grabbed the blanket and pulled it with me, Frank following behind and falling on top. I coughed a small bit and lost my breath. Frank jumped up and pushed who it was.

"Oh, shit. Sorry Frankie." I heard the boy say. I turned over and saw Mikey.

"What the fuck Mikey? Don't do that shit, were trying to sleep you moron." Frank says helping me up.

Mikey runs to the door and sighs. "Its Saturday morning Frank." Frank widened his eyes and ran to the bathroom. Mikey left and I was standing there looking around.

I didn't know what to do, I was clueless. Frank ran back in and grabbed a shirt, pulling it on and throwing me a black Iron Maiden shirt. "Hurry and get dressed. My moms taking us shopping." I raised an eyebrow as he ran out, pulling on his shoes.

I walked to his closet and pulled out some skinny jeans and a belt. Lord knows I'm not going to be able to fit in his clothes, or maybe. He is kinda short, but. I am shorter. I pulled them on, along with the Iron Maiden shirt and pulled on a pair of his red converses. As I step out of his room, I can hear running coming downstairs.

I walk down the stairs slowly, feeling the railing. I could see Frank run back and forth before I even made it to the bottom. I walked in the kitchen to see Mikey and Ray doing homework, and Gerard running in while he pulls up his Pants. I sit at the table and watch everyone running around. Bob is cooking breakfast pretty fast.

I look over at Mikey and raise an eyebrow. "what's going on?"

"Oh, mama Iero goes shopping every Saturday morning." Mikey said, looking at Rays paper. "She doesn't like waiting and doesn't like when we aren't ready. I hate shopping. Like, hate it."

I looked at Gee as he falls on his face, trying to pull on his black boots. I walked over to the kitchen as Bob set out some plates for everyone, putting what seemed like cheesy eggs and some sausage and bacon on the table. I continued to watch Frank, Mikey and Gerard run back and forth. It was kind of entertaining. Until Mikey tripped and ran into Frank. Ms. Linda came down and sat beside me. she ate some food and handed me one of the plates, filling it up with some food. We sat and watched them run upstairs, downstairs, snacking on some pieces of bacon as they got ready.

I looked over at Ms. Linda and smiled. "So, where are we going shopping Ms. Linda?"

"Oh, I was thinking Bi-Lo, but, I don't have enough room for the six of you in my car."

I look down and poke at my eggs. "Well, why do we have to go? Why cant we just stay here?"

"Because," she said finishing and putting her dish in the sink. "I do not trust children taking care of my house, mostly boy children. However," She smiled over at me as she grabbed her keys. "Since you are here, and I trust only girls with my house. You can watch over my house, and my boys. Cant you?"

At that, the boys turned to look at me in a pleading way. Mikey ran to me and hugged my leg, pleading to me. I smiled and shrugged. "I Mean, yes. I guess." She nodded and walked out of the house. The guys, all except for Mikey, which who was still holding onto my leg, ran to the window and looked outside. They watched as Ms. Linda drove off and screamed in victory as they had the house to their selves.
