YO! THIS CHAPTER IS FOR MY VERY GOOD FRIEND AND FANFICTION ...FICTIONER (?) ASHKIE SAGE!!!! *HUGS 4 A*
------------------------The next day------------------------------
"Hey Blake!" Frank smiled as he walked in the door. I half expected Mikey to be by him as he did.
"Where's Mikey?" I asked.
"I have no idea..." Frank just laughed. I sat down and leaned on the desk, taking a deep breath in, my hand covering my eyes.
"Seems like you had even less sleep than I did." Frankie chuckles. I didn't reply.
"What's wrong?" He said almost shocked as he sat beside me. I lowered my hands and stared at him for a second.
"My dad moved out last night because my mom had an affair..."
"Oh wow...I'm so sorry..." Frank said shaking his head in disbelief.
"Yeah..." I said only half thinking about what I was saying. The bell rang steadily. I smiled nervously back at Frank.
"Look, I have to go. Class and all..." I sighed before pulling myself up and walking out of the room.
---------------------- chemistry, 2nd class--------------------------
I sat there, beating my pen of the table in my boredom as the teacher rambled on... drowning out all fun that there could be in life with his drones. The door opened, my eyes flicked to it, searching for a source of entertainment. Sure as hell I found it. Mikey Way stood in the door, yawning and holding a bag of half eaten twizzlers. His jeans were covered in paint and shit, his tee was crinkled and his hair stuck out all over the place, similarly to his brother. The class just gasped and gawped at him. He strode the class and found a seat next to me.
"Looks. I got drunk last night and only got home at half five! I slept in! Big deal!" Mikey said the class. I couldn't help but find this deeply amusing. The teacher had no idea what was going on...
"Right...so...back to our lesson then?" He said. I just chuckled. Mikey looked over to me and the teachers drones filled the room.
"Frank told me what happened, I'm sorry..." He said. Trust Frank to tell ya...
"Don't be sorry... it was bound to happen anyway..."
"Mikey and Blake! One more word and it's a detention!" The teacher barked. I rolled my eyes.
"Well, I'm still sorry..." Mikey mouthed.
"That's it! Detention..."
"What? I didn't even make a sound!" Mikey said.
"I don't care. All I care about is you turning up late for a lesson." He said pointing at Mikey "and you spending the most of the lesson staring out of the window!" He said, moving his finger to point at me.
"Didn't your mother tell you it was rude to point?" I asked with a smirk.
"That's it. I've had enough of this. Go to the head teachers office...NOW!" Me and Mikey just rolled our eyes and picked up ours bags. We had barely done anything. He was just being touchy because his come over wasn't fooling anyone...
The next few weeks were a blur. I spent most of my time around at the ways and Franks house... I had went back to collect the rest of my stuff from my moms house. She was crying when I walked in. I don't even think she noticed me. I didn't care. It was a month on and I was sitting on Mikeys bed:
I sat on the bed, me, Frank and Mikey lay along, our legs in the air as we laughed hysterically.
"Oh my god and that's not even the best part! He THEN jumped of her and said he was examining her for breast cancer...I mean, c'mon I could think of billion better excuses..." Mikey said reading from the magazine.
"Ewww...doing it with your step daughter... That's just...ewww..." Frank giggle, his eyes screwed up. I couldn't say anything I was laughing so hard. Mikey stopped and leaned forward loser to me.
"Blake...why are your clothes covered in mud and why do you smell like a dead rat?" He said half laughing, half serious. I sighed, I knew he was right, I looked like a reck.
"I moved out of my house..." I said.
"What? When?" The both shot at me.
"Like...a month ago..." I cringed. I said, turning onto my back.
"Where are you living?" Frank asked... I didn't reply. I was to ashamed.
"Blake? C'mon...we're your friends, we're only trying to help..." He told me.
"I found this abandoned house. I'm living there. I got a job and Gerrys place so I can get food and some money so I can afford a place..."
"For a month? No wonder you look like hell!" Frank exclaimed.
"Shut it Frank! When was the last time you had a shower?" Mikey asked. I shook my head.
"Like a week ago, I feel like a complete minger..."
"Hey, It's okay. There's a shower through their. Use any of the products of whatever..." He said pointing to the door leading off from his room.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Of course hon! Best friends, huh? Go and take a shower!" He told me. I nodded and walked through. As I stripped and stood under the steamy water.
"Guys! I hope you haven't got any cameras in here!" I laughed.
"I'm offended!" Mikey shouted back with a laugh. It's amazing how human a hot shower can make you feel. I closed my eyes and took a breath in. My life was a mess right now...I just had to concentrate on getting the grades to get into SVA and I could make something of it... I turned the shower of and dried myself of...
"By the way...you can't put those clothes on again. I'll get them washed, here just wear these for tonight..." Mikey said, throwing a pile of clothes into the bathroom. I smiled. I couldnt believe how great the guys where to me. He had given me some black PJ bottoms with grey bats on and a Queen top. They were all to big, but I was grateful. I made my way out of the room, my other clothes in a pile in my hands. Mikey took them of me.
"Thank you so much..."
"Hey it's okay! Any way, it's a sleepover so lets stop with the sincere thank you and back to the gossiping!" Mikey laughed as he walked out of the room with my clothes. I sat on the bed next to Frank.
"Nice..." rank laughed. I hit him with a pillow...
"Hey! Stop! PEACE!" He called, his hands up defensively. I l smirked and lay down on the bed.
"I just had the best idea ever!" Mikey exclaimed as he walked in.
"Really? It's a miracle!" Frank praised to the sky. Mikey rolled his eyes.
"If you're looking for a cheap house you could move in with Gerard! He's looking for a flat mate, it's cheap because...well it's seriously crappy and you already know him!" He said, sitting next to me.
"Really? You sure?"
"Yes! It'd be great!" Mikey told me...
"I don't know... He probably does not want me living there..."
"He will! Anyway, I'll talk to him!" Mikey said casually.
"Talk to who?" I heard a familiar voice say from the door. I looked over to see Gerard leaning against the door frame, with a bowl of chilli in his hand. My mouth went dry when I saw him. It wasn't everyday you saw someone THAT cute.
I scraped my knees while I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven
Seems like it's getting harder to believe in anything
Than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts
I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
I'll turn it off, in all my spite
In all my spite, I'll turn it off
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall
I will realize I'm better off
When I hit the bottom
The tragedy, it seems unending
I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending
We're taking shortcuts and false solutions
Just to come out the hero
Well, I can see behind the curtain
(I can see it now)
The wheels are cranking, turning
It's all wrong, the way we're working
Towards a goal that's non-existent
It's not existent, but we just keep believing
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall
I will realize I'm better off
When I hit the bottom
I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
I'll turn it off, in all my spite
In all my spite, I'll turn it off
Just turn it off
Again, again, again
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall
I will realize I'm better off
When I hit the bottom (x2)
"Umm...Nothing!" I said quickly. Mikey just rolled his eyes and Frank chuckled.
"Look Gee, Blake's living in abandoned house because she moved out, I'm guessing because of her mom...and I thought she could move in with you since you know each other and you're looking for a flatmate because you can't afford it yourself and she has the money for half the bills and it's better than letting someone you've only met once share a flat with you!" Mikey said without breathing. Gee looked between the three of us.
"You're living in an abandoned house?" He said...still eating his chilli.
"Yeah...I know..." I said, I covered my face with my hands...
"Well...okay...I mean Mikey's right, it's cool because I know you and we like the same things and if you have the money I don't see any problems..." I looked up, not believing what he was saying.
"But, I've only known you guys...like a month..." I said
"Yeah, well it's either a girl I've known a month or some strange who I've only met one." Gee said as I jumped up and hugged him.
"So what about I pick you guys up form school on Monday and you can scope out the place? See if you like it!" I pulled back as he said that.
"Thank you so, so much and it's won't be long, just for a couple of months until I can get to college and stay in the rooms their..." I smiled. I stopped.
"Eww, did I just hug you?" I said, reality catching up with me.
"Yeah. It creeped me out too..." Gerard laughed. I rubbed my arms...
"Damn, I'm going to have to go and take another shower...I have Gerard all over me..." I laughed. He just chuckled and walked out of the room... I sat back down on the bed with a very confused looking Mikey and Frank.
"Did that jsut happen?"
"Yeah...and it looks like I'm living with your big brother..." I said ruffling Mikey hair. He pouted.
"It seems to me that he's taken quite a liking to you..."
"Eww, shut it. He's just a good friend..." I turned my head to see Gee running down the hall with a toolbox... "Who happens to have a tight ass..." I muttered.
"Oi!" Frank laughed.
"What did I say?" I asked with a giggle. Mikey just rolled his eye glumly.
"So why is he here anyway if he has his own place?" I asked.
"To eat." Mikey said simply. I gave Frankie the look, be both neared him...
"Guys what are you doing?" He asked, his face shadowed.
"So Mikey...how are you?" Frankie asked with a grin...Mikey looked around freaked out.
"Okay..."
"Well not for long!" I exclaimed before jumping on his and tickling him.
"NO! NOT ME! THIS IS MY ROOM! NOOOOO!" He screamed as we devilishly tickled him.
"Guys! Dinners ready! Get it whilst it's hot!" Mrs Way shouted from downstairs. Frank and I loosened our grip for a split second, Mikey jumped up and ran downstairs screaming:
"MOMMY!"
"Ahuh, hon?" She said as she put out our plates full of food. I came behind Mikey...
" nothing..." He sighed sitting down. I sat down next to him and on his other side was Frank.
"Wow, Mrs Way, this looks fantastic!" I said, grinning down at the beef cobbler. I hadn't eaten properly in god knows how long.
"Well I'm glad you think so...GERARD! GET YOU'RE BUTT DOWN HERE!" She yelled for her son. Gerard ran down the stairs and as quick as lightening was on his chair, on the opposite side of the rectangular table.
"Tuck in! I'm just going to make a call, don't wait for me..." She smiled walking out of the room.
"Haven't you just ate some chilli?" I asked Gerard. He just smirked.
"That's the thing about us big boys, we're always...hungry." he said with a wink to me. I didn't think the other had cached it as they were all digging deep into their food. I started to wolf down my food, Gee played with his before taking a mouthful. Mrs Way came abck in and sat at the table, inspecting her son.
"You're so skinny, do you not eat when you're at college?" She said, nipping at Gerard. I couldn't help but giggle at that due to Gees last remark.
"Plenty." He said, shooting a look at me. I just smiled innocently. I knew he was enjoying it...
"Thank you so much for letting me stay over Mrs Way!" I smiled.
"You're welcome, I love having you over and it's Donna!" She smiled warmly.
"Don't I get a 'I love having you over too?'" Frank asked, cheekily. She get laughed.
"Frank you're always here. You're practically part of the family!"
I wondered if he was as freaked out as I was that he had just announced that I could move in...As if he could read his thoughts he said to his mom:
"Did I tell you that Blake is thinking about moving in with me?"
"Oh really? How come?" She said look between us questioningly.
"I moved out of my moms house... So I'm looking for a place to stay..." I said. Mrs Way was about to ask something else, but before she could say anything Frank stepped in.
"She's been staying at my house whilst looking for a place." Mikey and Gee seemed to nod and go along with his white lie...
"Well don't let him bully you into stuff Blake, he's a big meanie at time..." She laughed. I glanced at Gee, he was waiting for my reply.
"I like to think I can...handle...myself." I said before gulping down another spoonful of cobbler.
I walked 'home' from the ways house the next day. Mr Way had offered to drive me and Frank back, thinking we lived in the same hosue currently...but obviously we didn't, so I had to pass and say I needed to get some stuff from the mall. It was a bright day, to sun was shining down on me. I was photophobic... NO that does NOT mean I hate taking photographs of myself (which I do hated doing) it means that sunlight anf light hurts my eyes and gives me headaches. I winced and looked upa t my moms house as I passed it. My jaw dropped outside it was a 'for sale' sign and m ymom was outside talking to an estate agent. I strode over to her, gawping at her selfishness.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" I said ignoring the estate agent.
"I see this is a bad time...I'll come back later..." She muttered, heading for her van. My mom chased after her.
"Stay!"
"No, it's okay Ms Reed!" She said before starting the engine. My mom sighed and turned to me.
"What did you do that for?"
"I dunnoo...Maybe the fact you're selling the house! What about dad? What about me?"
"If I remember correctly, you LEFT and so did your dad!"
"ONLY BECAUSE YOU HAD AN AFFAIR!"
"He pushed me into it!"
"Oh...So he drove you to the motel, stripped you and told you you'd die if you didn't fuck that guy?"
"Stop being so stupid! You wouldn't understand! You were just an accident and he was just some pity date that got out of control!" She snarled. I stared at her. Tears burning my eyes... I got that funny feeling you get in the back of your throat and nose just before you're about to cry...
"I'm going to New York! Plenty of work there and plenty of men!" She said turning and wlaking back into the house. I tried to follow her but she snapped at me.
"If you even touch my property I'm going to call the cops." I opened my mouth to object.
"I don't care if your dad payed for it, HE LEFT!" She screamed before slamming the door... I turned and walked of the front lawn, before leaving kicking down the fence angrily... I felt my hand curl into fists... I pulled out my phone and called Gerard...
"Hey!" I said.
"Hi Blake..."
"I was wondering if I could come around and check out the place now... I really can't wait..." I said into the phone.
"Sure thing. I gave you the address right?"
"Yeah. I'll be right there..." I said, smiling to myself. As a put down the phone I glanced back at my old house. That bitch could fuck herself. I wasn't going to cry over her. She could go and fuck as many horny and fucktards as she wanted, I didn't give a shit... I walked along the pavement... it was leading to my new life.
