Fix Me Please

Chapter 12

Today's the day. Gerard's birthday and he's turning 23. That means when I was born he was 3 years old.

Mikey and I are the same age. Which is funny cause on my first day I called him thirty.

I get up and go downstairs. I start to make his coffee and when it's done I put a red bow on it .

Humor me.

Soon I hear Gerard coming down the stairs.

When he enters the kitchen I run over and give him a hug.

" Happy Birthday!" I say

" thanks." Gerard says

I hand him his cup and he grabs it and looks at the bow.

" Nice touch." Gerard says

" Well it is your birthday after all." I say

" I never really make a big deal out of my birthday . It just remembers the day I was born." Gerard says

" Well why wouldn't you celebrate it? You were born today ." I say

" I know that . I just don't make a big deal out of it." Gerard says

" Well you should." I say

He laughs .

" Ok ok." Gerard says

We sit down and he drinks his coffee. Soon I get a text on my phone . It's from Ray.

Ray: When should I come?

Me: Soon but not too soon if you guys get done eating before we are done setting up I'll text for you to stall time.

Ray: ok thanks.

Me: Your welcome

That's how the conversation goes. I'm the one who came up with the idea so naturally everyone comes to me with the answers.

Soon I get another message this one from Frank and it's a group chat.

Me: Hi Frankie!

Frank: Hi so when do Mikey and I show up?

Me: After Ray , James, and Gerard leave then I'll text you to come over.

Mikey: Thanks Alyssa. I can't wait . My brother is going to be so surprised.

Me: I know.

Frank: I can't wait to see his face.

Me: Same here.

Mikey: Can't wait to get started.

Me: Same here.

Frank: See ya later.

Me: See ya later.

I delete the convo and look up. Gerard is staring at me. Weirdly too.

" What?" I ask

" Nothing." Gerard says

" So what are you going to do today?" I ask

" Well Ray texted me. So we are going to hang out along with James ." Gerard says.

" Sounds fun." I say

" Yea it will be." Gerard says

I laugh at him .

" Do you know what you guys are going to do?" I ask

" I don't know. But it will be fun I know that." Gerard says

" Awesome." I say

I get up and go up stairs to my room.

I turn on music and lay on my bed and stare at the ceiling .
