Ghost | MIKEY WAY [1] ✓

THIRTY-FIVE; REAL LIFE

Hope was sitting in the dark closet waiting to be left out. To be honest, she didn't expect to be shoved into the closet when her friend asked to see her. She just thought she wanted to work out.

The door creaked open and before she had the chance to get up and run out, Mikey Way was pushed inside of it. "You two need to talk before we let you out. Just text us, and we will know if you don't," Gerard called as they heard Juli's giggled fade.

Mikey sighed and sat down across from Hope who moved further away from him. "We have to talk at some point." His words were heard, but not replyed too. She couldn't help but flinch away from his voice. That voice used to sing her asleep when she was having a bad day.

It was Mikey's turn to flinch when he heard her sniffling. He hated to hear her cry. He used to hold her when she was crying. "Why did you do it? Why did you cheat on me?" she finally asked - her voice cracking as she spoke. She was someone who took pride in being as strong as she is and she was a mess.

"I was drunk. I know it wasn't an excuse, but it was at the party we were throwing after we got the record deal."

"Why did you never tell me?"

"Because I knew it was going to break your heart. I couldn't do it. That is why I just left without a word."

"I was pregnant."

Mikey flinched recalling the article that had come out earlier that month. "I know. I know. I would have never gone to that party if I would have known," he confessed to her. The tears were endless as she grabbed her phone and texted Juli to get her the fuck out of here.

She was silent until she heard the door jiggle. "Well, that doesn't change anything," she spat at him before getting up and walking out of closet not bothering to say anything to Juli or Gerard who were waiting for them.

She couldn't feel her heart. It was almost like she was. What was the word?

A Ghost.
