CHAPTER TWO
___________________________
After several days of having Mikey at school, I feel like I know him so well. I know he likes the smashing pumpkins, Misfits, and all good music. I know he hates being labelled as 'emo' just because he likes a certain type of music. I also know he plays the bass. And is very good at it.
"Did I tell you I have an older brother?" Mikey says over my shoulder as we walk into school.
"No! Whats his name?"
"Gerard. Hes very good at art." Mikey says winking.
"Ooooooh, you don't mean to tell me that you're related to gerard WAY? He has a comic book published in the school library doesnt he?!" I exclaim.
"Thats the one..." Mikey sighs.
"Dont worry... You're still much cooler than him, even though he does have cool hair..." I tease him, laughing. I dont mention the time I heard Gerard humming in the corridor, and I had to catch up to carry on hearing his mesmorizing voice.
"Does Gerard sing?" I ask.
"Not that I know of, unless shower singing counts." Mikey laughs, and carries on into school.
After the first bell rings for interval, Mikey grabs my arm and drags me away. "I have something to show you"
He opens the door to the music room and there stands his brother, a microphone, and a bass.
"I wrote a new song mikes.. Oh hi!..." Gerard surprisingly looks up to Mikey and I standing in the doorway.
"Can she watch?" Mikey asks, nodding at me.
"....uh sure!" He said nervously, "although it is just a bass and a singer..."
They start off and I am mesmorised by the focus in Mikeys eyes as he picks the strings on the bass. But then I hear his voice, Gerards. Im no longer focusing on the lyrics of the song, and I am lost in the voice, the rawness and perfect tones it makes. I finally come back down to earth as Gerard sings the final lines
"And without you is how i dissapear... And live my life alone... Forever"
