• My Lover Is A Bully » Frerard • [COMPLETED]

Donna Way

I decide to go along to the Way house. Mikey left his address on the crumpled note he threw at me.

I didn't think it was safe to do that, especially with the sort of kids that live in my estate. Trust me, you don't want to know. Honest.

I take my school backpack with me because I don't know how long I'm going to be there for. Obviously not a night, but still.

***

I knock on the door three times in a sort of tune. I always do that and I can't seem to know why. Weird.

Their mom answers. She looks me up and down and says suspiciously, "who are you?"
I carefully explain to her that I'm Mikey's friend from school. Not really but it's better than saying 'I have a crush on your oldest son and that's one of the reasons I'm at your doorstep." Right?

She gives me that look again and introduces herself.
"I'm Donna Way, its nice to see Mikey has made a friend. He's in his room, upstairs to the left. He'll probably have his door open."

I thank her and run up the steps and go to the left and just as Donna had said, Mikey's door is wide open.

"Mikey!" I shout.
He has both earbuds in and is playing rock music so loud I can hear the lyrics thoroughly.
Even so, he jumps at the sight of me standing in the doorway that divides his room from the hallway.

Mikey pulls out an earbud and says,
"Care to join for MarioKart?"

I can't say no because he sounds so hopeful and then a thought rushes into my head.
What if I'm his only friend and that's why he sounds so hopeful?

This thought haunts me for the rest of the day and most of the night at his house.
I'm starting to think that if I become friends with him, it somehow increases the chance of being closer to Gerard.
Sadly, I know this for a fact: Gerard. Is. Straight.

Heck, he even teases me for being gay. It's not my fault. I didn't choose this path. I couldn't choose what gender I like. I was born like this and nothing will ever change that.

"Hello? Earth to Frank!" Mikey shouts down my ear.
His voice is so loud that it makes a shiver run down my spine.

"Could you not, Mikes? That hurts!" I'm not shouting at him, more like warning him that if he does it again... Well... I don't know but something will happen.

Not that I could make anything happen. I'm 'too small' and 'weak' according to Mason and his mates. That isn't false. I couldn't fight to save my own life.

I guess I'm just a bit pissed at Mikey for shouting down my earhole. He doesn't look upset, though, he just looks normal (resting face) and apologizes.
"That's okay." I say and it truly is.

I look at my watch on my wrist. It's already half ten at night!
"Ok MikeS, I think I should get going, it's kinda late and I'm meant to be home, like, now." I say.
He just nods and that signals me to go.

I walk pretty fast out of Mikey's, probably faster and definitely the wrong move.

I abruptly walk out and bang straight into Gerard. I stare into his eyes for a second.
He gives me a big dirty look and he looks like he wants to punch my face in - but luckily, it's his house.
He's going to get me tomorrow, though,
Just you wait...
