screw up

Gerard woke up to the sound of a loud BANG!

Still in bed, he rubbed his eyes with confusion and made his way down stairs.

There stood mikey, standing still, looking down at the now shattered cup of coffee.

"Ohh man" gerard muttered

mikey stood looking at the mess and shoved his hands into his trouser pockets. Gerard studied his brother. 3 years apart, yet he felt as though they were the same age.

Mikey was 14, making gerard 17.

They had always been best friends.

gerard bent down to clear up the mess, looking at mikey still standing there frozen.

"Its just a cup of coffee" gerard murmured, barely above a whisper.

mikey looked at gerard confused and walked out for school making sure he banged the door bebehind him. Leaving gerard alone to get ready for college.

gerard took a shower and got dressed. Stufied his features in the mirror and grabbed a comb. Brushing the messy knots out of his raven, blsck, shoulder length hair. He grabbed his keys and left. Slamming the door behind him.

on his way to college, gerard couldnt help but notice that the house across the street no longer had the 'for sale' sign now. He wondered who had moved in. Gerard decided to introduce himself after college.

after college, gerard made his way to the newly sold house. Nervously knocking on the door.

The door swung open and there stood a short guy, about 15. He had short black hair with half of it dyed red. He had a lip ring on thr left and a nose ring on the right.

Gerard considered him as cute and couldnt help but let a smile escape his lips. Biting them hard to stop. "Hi?" Frank asked confused.

"Oh...er...ahha....hi....im..well.. yeah hi im gerard" gerard mentally slapped himself.

WTF!!!

He could do better then that!

"I live across the road and wanted to introduce myself" thats better he thought to himself.

frank looked at him from the side slightly, narrowing his eyes and pursed his lips slightly.

"Hi...." he said

"Come in" he said shortly after.

gerard hesitated but didnt refuse. He timidly stepped through the door. Frank noticed this and grinned.

"I dont bite" he claimed and shut the door once gerard was through.

"I didnt catch your name" gerard pointed out.

"Oh sorry.... im frank... frank iero.... but you can call me frankie"

And wjth a wink he disappeared into the kitchen.
