So here I stand in the football field but no Gerard or Mikey to be seen. I look all around the field but no teal roots or black beanie in sight. Maybe they realized how much of a screw-up I am. Guess it would've happened sooner or later. So I begin to walk home when I see someone running towards me. At first I couldn't see who it was until I saw that it was Mikey. He grabbed me into this weird hug tackle thing and think it was accident but I don't really know. "oh my god Frank I'm so sorry. Dude we totally forgot that we were supposed to meet you here today because we had to leave early today to go out grandmas funeral and I'm so sor-". "Wait, What? Funeral? Mikey calm down it okay, I've been forgotten about more than once so it's okay" I said, watching him hold his chest from being out of breath. "Cmon, let's go back to my house, Gerard feels really bad about leaving you here and I think he just wants to see a friend because today has been a terrible day for us" he said. I could tell he had a bad day because he looked like he had been crying and he looked like he dark circles around his eyes from not sleeping. " Um yeah our Grandma died a few days ago and today was the funeral and she meant a lot to us" Mikey said in a quiet voice as we walked through the light rain. " Oh... I'm sorry." I said looking down at the pavement. "Don't be...death is natural..its going to happen eventually to everyone. You and I will be six feet in the ground someday" he said looking up at me. "True. How is Gerard?" I asked, running my fingers through my oily hair. "You know I said he's obsessed with revenge?....well he wants revenge..badly" Mikey said looking back down. "Who would he get revenge on?" . I knew what Gerard felt like because I had felt like it before. "On the world. He wants revenge on himself for not being there when she died and he wants revenge on the world for not letting him be there when she died". I could feel the sadness in Mikey's voice also. He wanted revenge just as bad as Gerard did but he didn't want to admit it. I could tell from being with Mikey the past few days that he was kind of like Gerard. He was obsessed with revenge except Mikey didn't want to admit it. He thought that mourning, or wanting revenge was a little bit stupid. "Well he can't, so what's he going to do" I asked. "He usually draws these really creepy but cool things. He comes up with theses concepts for things and sometimes even writes songs". "He writes songs?". I previously had no idea he wrote songs. "Yeah like that day we all got beat up he wrote a song. I think it was about you personally but he not admit it" Mikey said with a small grin. "Wow". At this point I am totally blown away. We make our way to the Way house and go inside. The house has these dark and scary vibes. I really like it. We walk into Gerard's room. To see him sitting with a kid with curly, fro-like hair. Gerard's walls are covered in drawings that usually have blood or dead people in them. "Hey Gee" I said sitting down beside him on the bed. I heard a quiet, broken "hi frankie" come out of his mouth. "This is Ray Toro, he's a friend of ours" Mikey said pointing to the boy with the curly hair. "Ray, this is Frank Iero, a friend of ours" Mikey said pointing to me. "Hi Ray" I said with a nod. "Hi Frank" he said in reply. Gerard was sitting with a pencil in his hand and a sketch pad in his lap. He drew this girl in a red dress, with black hair, and ballerina shoes on. Beside the drawing were the words So Long and Goodnight. I watched a tear drop onto the drawing and then watched Gerard stand up and tack the drawing to the wall. Then I looked at one drawing on his wall that particularly stood out to me. It was a man and woman with their faces covered in blood but they looked like they were gonna kiss. Above that was the phrase Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. And after sitting with Gerard for a few minutes something rolled off of his lips. "I want revenge" escaped from his mouth. And so I had decided something again. There were two things I needed to do for Gerard.
Make him recognize his spark
Help him get his revenge
