Chapter 1, Our Lady Of Drop-Ins

Gerard looked through his bag one final time before setting it by his door.

He had all of his stuff ready for school tomorrow. Now he just had to find a 'reasonable outfit' as his mother put it.

He dug through his drawers and found a Iron Maiden shirt and a pair of worn black jeans. He grabbed his blue and black leather jacket, then threw the outfit on his bed. He sighed and grabbed a simple pair of black, hightop Van's and set them at the end of his bed.

He nodded in approval at the outfit.

Gerard then pulled out one of his CDs and put it in the machine. He pressed start and stepped back. Seconds later his room was filled with punk hits of the 80's and 90's.

He smiled.

If he was going to suffer, he'd atleast do it listening to the Misfits, at the moment. Gerard sat back down on his bed, looking at the time, 08:47 am.

" Breakfast is ready, get in here!" Their father called.

Gerard groaned and headed into the kitchen to see there father getting plates. There mother was just arriving in there, ready for work. Soon followed by Mikey.

They each grabbed some breakfast and sat at the table. " So, is your stuff together yet?" There mother yawned.

Gerard and Mikey both nodded, basically racing to finish eating. Their mother also nodded. " It better be. I don't want a call from the school saying one of you didn't have your books." She joked some.

Mikey rolled his eyes. " We aren't little kids anymore." He grumbled. They both snickered. Their father then sat at the table himself. " Do you have clothes picked out for in the morning?" Their father asked.

The two boys sighed in annoyance. " Yes." Gerard rolled their eyes and Mikey nodded. There mother slapped the back of his head. " Ow! What was that for?" Gerard rubbed the back of his head.

" Stop being a little shit!" She shook her head. Mikey laughed at her remark while Gerard acted offended.

" You better not act this way towards your teachers." She smiled before getting up and kissing the three others at the table. " Now I'm off to work, don't burn the house down!" She spoke, heading towards the front door.

Gerard nodded.

Gerard lay in his bed, bored out of his mind. He was supposed to be asleep 2 hours ago. He just laid there, staring straight up at the ceiling.

How was he expected to fall asleep right away on a night like this. He took a glance at his alarm clock. 6 more hours till he was expected to wake up.

He slowly sat up and stretched. He had nothing better to do then what he was told to wait on.

Dyeing his hair.

He grabbed two boxes from the top of his closet and head to the bathroom. He glanced at himself in the mirror before searching for the hair bleach.

He learned awhile ago that there's a certain hair bleach, not just the kitchen bleach.

He finally found it and went to work, leaving his black roots untouched.

Another two hours had passed when he was finally done dyeing his hair a vibrant red.

He checked himself out in the mirror, smiling in approval. He loved how it looked, and after all that work, he was ready to sleep.

So he did.
