No, I’m pretty sure the piercing is on that side of his mouth. Isn’t that tattoo a little further up his neck? His hair goes to that side, doesn’t it? Every thought going through my head was making me more frustrated than the last one. The little ray of sunlight coming down through the skylight begins to die down, but we’re still in the studio. We’ve laid down three tracks today, but everyone has to record their own parts. I sit there in silence, trying to perfect my drawing. Incredible, a man I’ve known for years and I can’t remember which way his freaking fringe goes! I set down my sketchpad and let out a sigh. I look up and across at my brother Mikey, twirling his cigarette around in his fingers as he blows out yet another smoke ring. I watch it go up, up, up, until it disappears. Just like it’s been doing for the past 5 minutes. Mikey senses my unease but he says nothing

“You should tell him.” He says after a few minutes of silence. He’s the only person that knows how I feel and I know he supports me.

“He would probably just laugh in my face.” I lean back in my chair and look off into the distance at nothing in particular.

 “You don’t know that. What if he feels the same way?” He senses I’m not going to respond so he speaks again, “You never know unless you try, Gerard. Where’s the harm in trying?” Of course he’s right but I don’t know if I can go through the humiliation that will go with Frank’s rejection. Mikey stands up and places a hand on my shoulder. “Just think about it” He says before leaving the room. I put my head down on the desk and shut my eyes.
