So Glad I Found You

Chapter 7

I wake the next morning to an intense guitar session. I was still in my clothes and I was in no mood to kill someone.

But sometimes things call for drastic measures. I walk next door to Frank's room.

Soon I'm knocking on Frank's door. More like pounding on it actually.

" Frank stop that goddamn noise or I'll make you stop!" I yell

Soon the door is being whipped open.

" Sorry ." Frank says

" It's ok." I say

" I was just trying to practice before everyone woke up." Frank says

" Frank by practicing you are actually waking people up." I say

" Yea sorry." Frank says

" Don't worry. Why am I still in my clothes?" I ask

" Oh you were really tired so Ray took you to bed." Frank says

" Oh yea that's right. Thanks so much." I say

" Uh no problem ." Frank says

I bounce out and go to my brother's room and turn on his lights and jump on his bed.

" Gerard wake up." I say

" Hmm let me sleep." Gerard says

" Gerard wake up." I say again

" Let me try." Someone whispers

I look at the doorway and see Alyssa standing there. She smiles and jumps on the bed next to me.

" Gee wake up or I won't make you coffee." Alyssa whispers

Suddenly Gerard opens his eyes and sits up.

" You wouldn't dare." Gerard says

" I would." Alyssa says and we both jump off the bed

We run down the stair with Gerard chasing us all the way. He catches up to us and pulls us both into a hug.

" I'm awake now. Do I get coffee?" Gerard asks

Alyssa kisses him and smiles.

" Of course." Alyssa says

" Do you want some?" Gerard asks

" Sure." I say

" Be careful I have to make it really strong because of this guy." Alyssa says

" I will be." I say

" I'm serious Ronnie. It'll give you the jitters ." Alyssa says

" Don't worry I've drunken stronger trust me." I say

" Alright then." Alyssa says

She goes into the kitchen to make the coffee while Gerard and I follow close behind. She does everything so willingly without protest. But she's headstrong , independent, I like that about her.

And apparently Gerard does too. He watches her with a smile on his face. He really and truly loves her.

I want someone to love me like that. How Gerard loves Alyssa . But who would love me.

I'm nothing compared to my brother. I'm just another Way sibling. Gerard's the brains of the operation .

Me I'm just another person. Why would anyone love me? Heck why would anyone care about me?

Once Alyssa is done she hands us both cups of coffee. I take a sip and it's really good.

" This is really good." I say
