It goes towards the end of the year 2014, one and a half years have passed since My Chemical Romance disbanded. Their fans are still not over it. The boys have moved on to solo Projects but one day Gerard wanted all his former bandmates to come together at his house. He only said there’s something Important that he needs to talk about to all of them.
„So Gee, we're all here now! What is that important stuff you need to talk to us about?“

Frank asked but before Gerard had a Chance to answer Mikey said „yes Gee! you're being cryptical! What's up?“ Now Gerard replied to them „Well guys, i've been on tour on my own now and i had a lot of time to think and i realised that i miss the time we had and i just miss MCR in general, so how about getting back together? The fans miss us, i miss it and you probably too so there's no better time then now!“

Ray was The first to answer: „yes we should! I missed it too!“ Mikey added: „yes! I also missed it! And i missed being on stage with my big brother!“ He smiled towards Gerard while he said that. Frank nearly started screaming like a fangirl „Oh my god Gee! I always wished you'd say this! You can’t imagine how much i missed everything!“

To stop Frank from freaking out Gerard quickly continued; „Well, as we all feel The same i guess The decision has been made! We will continue The idea! MCR is back!

Suddenly The happy atmosphere was interupted by Gerards phone constantly ringing. „Who keeps calling me in the worst possible moments“ he thought annoyed while picking up the phone just to find out that whoever called him hung up right after he picked up the phone. Gerard rolled his eyes „Not again" he was thinking.

As he just wanted to put his phone away Frank stopped him „Gee, when you already have your phone in your hand then why not taking the chance to tell our fans the good news?“

„Yes good idea Frankie, i'll post it on The bands twitter" Gerard told him and kept his phone in his hand.

A blink of an eye later Gerard started screaming At his phone. „Why does this fucking Twitter need ages to load when there is something important to tweet!“ Even After Twitter finally loaded, Gerard didn’t stop  yelling at his Phone. First he had trouble remembering the password of the band account and then his autocorrect kept changing every word that he's trying to type.

„Someday this fucking phone is taking me to my grave!“ he stated while still trying to tweet about The reunion.

The others knew about the imminent danger when Gerard has a problem with his phone. So Frank and Ray claimed they had something important up and that they had to go and left Gerards house. Just Mikey was brave enough to stay with his older brother.

After Gerard finally finished his tweet about the upcoming reunion, Mikey said to his brother with a big grin on his face „Gee is your phone haunted again?“ Gerard, who hasn’t calmed down from his stressful attempt of doing a short tweet, threatned his little brother „Mikey you better shut the fuck up now! Or i’m going to forget all manners i‘ve ever learned.“ Mikey, who didn’t understand the seriousness of the situation, continued joking „Oh Gee, as if you could ever hurt your baby brother! I know you love me!“

„I fucking hate you, Mikey!“ Gerard yelled at him and hit him. At first Mikey didn’t understand what's happening. Gerard never raised a hand against him before and before Mikey could say or do anything  Gerard yelled at him „You know what! I fucking wish you were never born!“

Mikey didn’t know what to do and just tried to appeal to Gerards feelings „but if i was never born who would have made the band with you and Ray? And who would come up with the band's name?“

But Mikeys words didn’t help anything. Gerard just shouted „there are a million bassists in the world! And they can also come up with a band name! Don’t act as if you were anything special!“

At this moment Mikey did something he never thought he would be able to do. He yelled at his brother. The one he admired all his life. The one Who would normally be The one to stand up for him when he gets in trouble but this time he has to stand up for himself. „You know what!? I hate you too! I'd rather have no brother at all than a big brother like you!“ After saying this Mikey ran out, slamming the door hardly on his way out. He ran to his car and drove away fastly. Gerard didn’t even try to run after him.

While driving home, tears rolled down Mikeys face. His head was full of thoughts about The fight, questioning if Gerard really meant those things he said to him but his head was also full of regret. Of course Mikey  didn’t hate Gerard and he'd never truly wish he didn’t have a brother. All he wanted was to get home quickly to call Gerard and say sorry. He was also thinking about Gerard. Does he really hate him? Is he regretting anything? Is he planning on calling him to say sorry? Will it ever be the same again?

Lost in thoughts Mikey couldn’t focus on the road. He didn’t realise that he was driving way to fast. He also didn’t realise it, when he turned wrong and suddenly he found himself on the highway! On the oncoming lane. A fatal mistake. There was nothing he could do! No pleading and no praying helped. Mikey was still way too fast and another car was driving right towards him. Fear was all he felt and there was nothing he could do but hoping to get out of this alive.
