Roommates

I knew it.

"Brie wake up!" Someone whispered.  I was being shook aggressively.  I opened my eyes to see Ray hovered above me whispering my name and telling me to wake up.  "What?" I hissed.  "You've got to see this!" Ray said excitedly.  I groaned and sat up.  He walked quickly out of my room, I followed slowly.  "What did you- oh my god!" I smiled at what I was seeing.  Frank and Gerard were lying on the couch on top of each other.  Cuddling.  Frank was laying his head on Gerard's chest and hugging him around the waist.  Gerard was hugging Frank around the shoulders.  "I knew they're together." I mumbled.  "What?" Ray asked.  I looked over at him and smiled a little bit.  His cheeks turned a light shade of pink and he looked away from me.  "I said, I knew they're together." I told him trying not to embarrass him.

Now I know why he seemed disappointed when I left him last night.  He likes me.  But why?  He doesn't know me.  I'm not pretty either.  I'm pure white and boney. I have tangly, long black hair down to my waist.  There's no way he could like me for my personality.  I'm rude all the time, quiet and always hidden away from people.  No one likes me.

Frank and Gerard were up now.  Ray order breakfast for all of us.  I didn't want him to get me anything but he insisted on getting me something so I let him.  Mikey dragged himself out of the room him and Ray shared.  His hair was a mess and he didn't have his glasses on.  He sat down beside me.  "Morning." I whispered without looking at him.  He looked at me and slightly smiled.  "Morning." He whispered back.  We all ate in silence.  Not like it bothered me or Mikey but it bothered Frank.  "It's too quiet." He groaned.  "You're too annoying." I mumbled.  Mikey huffed, I looked over at him and smiled.  "It's because of you two love birds." Frank snickered.  "Says the one who was cuddling with him this morning." I said pointing to Gerard.  Frank went red and Gerard shook his head.  "And in plus she told you last night that they aren't in love, Frank." Ray said.  I smiled and shook my head.  I bet he doesn't want me and Mikey to be in love.  He's in luck because we're only friend's.

They were practicing again.  Such sinister songs on a Sunday.  Like I care.  "Hey Brie!" Gerard called.  "Yeah?"   "How about you take some pictures of us since you're a photographer." Gerard suggested.  He has to bring it up.  I'll be screwed if they turn out bad.  "Ok." I mumbled.  I got my camera and stood in front of the boys.  "Do you want me to take them with your instruments or just you guys?" I questioned.  They looked at each other.  "Instruments?" They said.  "Ok."   They all posed and I got down on a knee.  I took some pictures on my knee then took some standing up.  They all rushed over to see the terrible pictures.  "They're great!" Ray and Gerard exclaimed.  "They're good." Mikey told me, giving a thumbs up.  Frank shrugged his shoulders.  Fuck you too.  They practiced a song called 'Hang 'em high'.  It was ok.  I liked their song 'dead'.  Ray kept glancing over at me and he would occasionally smile.  Frank kept looking at Gerard's ass.  Of course.   

"You guys do know that there's a studio not even twenty minutes away from here, right?" I told them after they got some practicing.  "No."  "Well you could go and practice there." I said.  "No it's fine." Gerard shrugged.  "Ok." I sighed.  I was pouring me some blood and I turned to look at Frank.  "Want some?" I smiled.  "Ew! No!" He yelled.  Me and Ray both laughed at him.  "Could I try some?" Ray asked quietly.  I hesitated but didn't refuse.  Hopefully he doesn't recognize the taste of blood.  "Are you sure?  This stuff is pretty strong." I said to Ray.  "Yes I'm sure. I want some."   I shook my head and poured him a cup.  He took it and drank it.  He dunk a lot of it too.  He put the cup down and made a face of disgust.  I laughed at him as he spit it out.  "What is that?" He asked.  "My grandma makes it." I told him.  "Yeah but what is it?" He asked.  "I don't know.  She's gave it to me since I was a child. Never told me what it was." I shrugged.  Lies.  Beside having it as a child part.  "Well I don't mean to be rude but it's disgusting." He said.  I laughed at him once again and shook my head.  "Ooo Mikey!" Frank yelled.  "Ray is stealing your girl!"  "For the last time, she's not mine." Mikey told him.  I looked over at Ray who's face was as red as a tomato.  "I- I don't like her that way Frank!" Ray protested.  "That's a lie." Gerard said.  Ray shook his head and walked to his and Mikey's room. 

I went and sat beside Mikey.  Ray was still in their room.  "Is he always like that?" I asked Mikey.  "Only when he's embarrassed." He said to me.  "Oh ok." I nodded.  "Frank always says someone likes someone else when they're just being friendly.  I think it's so people will get their eyes off of him and Gee so they can shove their tongue's down each other's throats." He said laughing a little bit.  "I bet so." I giggled.  Ew.  I did it again.  And Mikey noticed again.  It's like when I giggle he notices and only he notices.  Mikey looked at me and smiled when I giggled.  His smile.  His smile was cute.  I think anyone would agree with me.  It didn't last long though.  He said and said, "I think I'm going to go to bed."   "Ok," I said.  "Goodnight."  "Night." He said back.  I decided to go to my room.  "Hey Gerard." I called.  "Yeah?" He asked from the kitchen.  "Could you and Frank cuddle some where else tonight. I don't want to wake up and see that first thing in the morning again.  Thanks." I said.  He turned red and nodded as I walked away to my room.
