Gerard's POV
I can't stop worrying about Mikey coming. I take a slow breath and try to calm myself down. It'll be fine I'll just ignore him and try to hide the whole entire night. No big deal.
"Oh really? How'd you guys meet?", I laugh nervously.
"Well that's a long story. It's kinda personal to Mikey but I don't think he'd mind me telling you. His big brother was in the hospital and so was my dad and we just kinda met there. And he was really comforting and we just kinda fit together. You'd like him a lot I think."
That's probably why I saw Mikey at the hospital when I was leaving. He was staying with Pete. That's good he found someone to lean on. Someone to help him through all of this. Now that I think about it I'm so selfish. I just left Mikey. He really does care. He really-
"Gerard are you okay?", Pete says as he snaps his fingers right in front of my face.
"Yea, yea I'm okay." I bite my lip, the guilt about Mikey rushing over me.
"Hm, so anyways how long have you and Bert been dating?"
"Just a little bit over a month", I say. I feel a blush running up to my pale cheeks when Pete asks. I think he noticed because he lets out a small laugh. I have no other to laugh with him because I know he'll be on to me if I don't.
My signal to hide rings throughout the whole house. Mikey's here.
"Oh that's him.", Pete gets up and turns the doorknob. I get up and bolt to Bert's room.
"Hey Gerard where are you going?", Pete says as the door opens. Shit, I was too late. Pete tugs on my arm to bring me into the living room with him and Mikey. My heart stops as Mikey's cold glare seeps through me.
"So Mikey this is Gerard he's Bert's boyfriend, and Gerard, this is Mikey he's my friend."
Mikey keeps staring at me and I just avoid eye contact in return.
"Why would you do that to me Gee? You promised me you'd never do it again.", Mikey states coldly, staring at me with all the hate and confusion he can muster.
Petes eyes dart between us, "oh so do you guys know each other?", the confusion evident in his voice.
Mikey chuckles, "oh yea, we sure know each other." Mikey continues to glare at me as Pete is struggling to figure it out. I wish I was Pete in this situation. Oblivious to all the crap Mikey and I have been through.
"Gerard?", Pete asks worried.
I get up wordlessly and head for Bert's room. My original plan. Pete and Mikey don't bother to make me go back. That's a first.
Miley's words really hit me hard. Why would you do that to me Gee? You promised me you'd never do it again. I'm so selfish. He seemed so hurt. And now Mikey knows I'm gay! Mikey knows I'm gay. That simple thought hadn't crossed my mind since Pete said it. Last year in school and the years before everyone made fun of me because they thought it. Including Mikey.
He's gonna tell mum and dad. They'll be glad they kicked me out. When school starts back everyone will know. School will be even worse. Oh God. It's gonna be worse.
I stretch out my left hand to reveal my stiff ring and pinkie fingers. A constant reminder of school. A constant reminder of the bullies. A constant reminder of my weaknesses.
"Hey babe. You okay?"
My eyes immediately dart to Bert's. "Bert I need to tell you something."
His expression immediately hardens. "And it is..?"
"I n-never told you about my brother.", I stutter.
Bert raises an eyebrow, "go on".
"Well he's here and he's really mad at me and apparently he's staying for the party and I don't know what to do."
"He's here? Is he Petes friend?"
I nod wordlessly.
"Well are you still gonna stay?", Bert asks as he sits down next to me on his bed. I'm really surprised he's not angry with me or anything.
"Yea. I am. It's just gonna be hard ignoring him the whole
night."
"You will. It won't be that hard."
"You're right. It won't be hard at all."
