January 9th 2004

"No", he replied for the eighth time that night and, he realised, probably not the last, but it didn't bother him in the slightest; it reminded him of when they were kids, sitting like they were now, Mikey constantly complaining about watching a movie.

So it brought a smirk to his face, back hair dangling in front of his eyes as he scribbled down words into an old, tattered, black notebook.

"Please?"

"No" Ninth.

"But why?" his brother whined in a childish voice, leaning toward him on the couch.

"Because I'm busy, Mikey" he continued to scrawl words upon the paper without lifting his head to his brother.

"You writing lyrics, Gee?" he leaned forward trying to look at the notebook but Gerard pulled it towards his chest, out of view, making his brother sit back and pout.

Gerard closed the book and yawned, checking the watch on his wrist.

"Alright Mikes, it's getting late, I think it's time to crash", he jumped over the back of the couch, still clutching the notebook, "You crashin' on the couch then?"

His only reply was a "mhmm".

"Alright then, we got a show tomorrow remember" swiftly followed by another "mhmm"

Once in his room, he softly closed the door behind him, already hearing the muffled snores.

He collapsed onto his bed, not even bothering to kick off his jeans or get rid of his t-shirt. He simply lay there; staring up at the ceiling and softly began singing to himself

"I never

Said I'd lie in wait forever

If I died

We'd be together

I can't always just forget her

But she could try

At the end of the world

Or the last thing I see

You are never coming home, never coming home

Could I? Should I?

And all the things that you never ever told me

And all the smiles that are ever ever…"

And pretty soon there were two sets of snoring in the darkened apartment.
