Diseased [Frerard] [Petekey]

Chapter 13

Gerard-

When we got back to Mikey's apartment, Mikey excused himself to go take a nap. This left me on the couch watching TV as I would have done if I didn't go to work with Mikey. I have to admit. Though I didn't do any work, I felt way better now. 

Sometime this weekend, Mikey and I should go and get applications from everywhere in a walking distance from here. 

That's a start, right?

I'm glad this chain of events happened. If it didn't, my life wouldn't be more exciting than a cheesy zombie romance movie right now. I felt my phone buzz in my back pocket and flipped it out to find Frank's number on the display.

Frank- Hey.

Me- Hey buddy chum pal amigo whats up

Frank- currently unpacking

Frank- or not. I'm just trying to find a reason not to

Me- literally me

Frank- xD rawr

Me- oh noooo please tell me thats a joke

Frank- it is, I was testing you

Me- g00d i thought i was going to have to revoke your texting privilege

Frank- try me, i'll drop kick you OOPS HAH

Me- diddly darn

Frank- same, wyd?

Me- watching TV. Mikey is napping now

Frank- are you bored? Wanna go to the park where we first met?

He made it seem as if we were a couple and we could just come and go without it being awkward. Plus, the thought of that raised my blood pressure.

Me- I'm okay, maybe some other time?

Frank- sure, I'll hold that to you

Frank- so how long are you in town?

Me- eh, idk, it's indefinite. 

Frank- where are you from originally

I decided that was where I began to not text back. I didn't want to dig a hole of lies too deep. 

Me- I'll brb, talk to you in a bit?

Frank- sounds good, ttyl

WHEW.

I finished whatever crap movie I was watching and decided to have a pizza delivered. I'm feeling charitable, so I decided to call up the pizza place and ask for Ryan.

When I found out he was there, I requested he deliver a cheese pizza. Hopefully he wasn't high so I could have a laugh about it. I waited about twenty five minutes before a firm knock sounded on the door.

I hopped up excitedly to answer the door, only to find it to be Mikey's new friend from the other night.

"Is Mikey here?" he asked nervously.

"Yeah, he's asleep though, can you come back later?" I asked.

He opened his mouth to answer, but Mikey came from his hiding spot in his bedroom. He had sleep in his eyes and he had his boxers on with a plain white t-shirt (lol). His friend's eyes drifted down, and I was instantly set back by that.

I was floored. I couldn't comprehend what just happened.

Then, Ryan the pizza guy came to the door. This time he wasn't high.

"Delivery for Gerard Way", he said energetically.

Mikey's friend turned around. When he saw the name on the tag his eyes filled with excitement. Mikey noticed that several people were here and he was in his underwear so he rushed to go and change.

"Whoa, you're Ryan Ross", Mikey's friend said.

"That I am", he nodded.

"Do you remember me?" I butt in.

He looked closely at me and then he shook his head no.

"I don't know, I ordered a pizza the other day and you confided in me and said you wanted this 'Beebo' guy to notice you", I shrugged.

His eyes bugged out of his head. He either thought it was hilarious or embarrassing. It must not have been the latter because he began laughing his ass off.

Mikey's friend started jumping up and down.

"Beebo? Beebo from Starbucks? Brendon and I are good friends and he always talks about how he wants the pizza guy Ryan Ross to notice him", he stopped jumping and began to bite his fist out of excitement.

He was holding back screams of excitement along with this Ryan character. Ryan was about to bite his lip off.

"It's okay, you can scream", I laughed.

Then he squealed out of excitement. He already dropped my pizza on the ground. Mikey came out of his room as soon as the neighbor came out. I knew he lived alone and he just moved out. He had crazy, black hair that was a scene girl's wet dream.

"Hey", he said in a deep voice.

There was a spatula in his hand, as if he came to beat us with it.

"Sorry sorry, we'll quiet down", I said.

"No, no, I'm happy for you", he said in his deep voice.

The intimidating boy with no shirt and only black skinny jeans and eyeliner came closer.

"Can I borrow some sugar?" he whispered.

"Why?" I laughed.

"I'm trying to bake some cookies", he smirked.

That caught me off guard. This was the last guy I thought would bake some goddamn cookies.

"Yeah, sure, one second", I laughed. "I'm Gerard by the way".

"I'm Pete", Mikey's friend introduced.

"I'm gay, I mean Ryan", the pizza guy laughed.

"Mikey", Mikey waved with two fingers.

"I'm Andy", the deep voiced teenager laughed.

I left to get his sugar and came back with a freezer bag full of it. I didn't know how much he needed. but if he were going to college, I feel bad. That stuff's expensive, so I made sure to get extra, grabbing my pizza money as well.

I handed the sugar to Andy and $30 to Ryan, telling him to keep the change.

We all made small talk standing outside of Mikey's apartment for about two minutes before Pete told Ryan to go and see 'Beebo' when he get off and we all went our own ways.

Andy went to make cookies.

Mikey went with Pete for some reason.

Ryan excitedly jumped into his car and went back to work.

I went inside.

Feeling bad that I was the only one who didn't have plans, I took up Frank's plans for the park after all.
