Author's note: Hi! I'm sorry it took me so long…but here it is, next chapter, enjoy! I wanna thank you so much for all your reviews, I finally have 50 of them! Keep them coming!
Because I was tired and didn't want to make much noise, I stayed in bed and didn't change. I persuaded Mikey to stay with me.
He hugged me so and caught in his arms, I could peacefully sleep.
"Hey, hey! Get up you two!" someone was whispering. I opened my eyes. Gerard.
"Shit, Gee! You scared me!" I yelled. Mikey shifted a bit, hugged me tightly and remained lying with his eyes closed.
"You two are lucky it's me and not your brother. I have the feeling he wouldn't be happy if he found you here. Anyway, it's 10:30 already and since it's Saturday, everyone left. LynZ left for three weeks, MSI has a tour, so I'm staying home. And I'm awake for 3 hours already and I'm bored. Come on you two! Let's do something fun!"
"Fuck you, Gee, I wanna sleep," Mikey mumbled.
"Give me few minutes, I'm gonna get him out of the bed. You can make us breakfast? Or not. We'll wait for lunch. But coffee would be nice,"
"As your majesty wishes!" Gee said and gave me a quick kiss on my cheek.
I felt Mikey moving.
"Did my brother just kiss you?" he said, sitting up opening his eyes.
"He kissed my cheek," I admitted.
"Such a nice way of getting me out of bed," he murmured and after kissing my forehead, he got up and left to the bathroom.
I had a quick shower, put on my favorite black shorts and a Converse t-shirt and headed to the kitchen.
"That was quicker than I dared to hope!" Gee replied, smirking.
"Good morning to you too," I replied sarcastically.
He placed into my hand a cup of coffee.
"Is there sugar in it?"
"Yep,"
I sat down to the table and drank the whole cup in less than a minute.
"Want one more?"
"No thanks,"
Meanwhile Mikey came down too.
"So what do you wanna do?"
"Something fun!"
"Let's go to Hollywood Highlands!" I suggested.
"That's not a bad idea at all. I would use some new clothes. And while are we there, we can visit my hairdresser, I need my hair to be dyed again. Do you want some dye too? I think Frank would not mind," Gee said.
"I'll better give him a call,"
"Sure. Whose car are we taking?"
"Mine, I wanna drive!" I jumped in. They both nodded. I ran to get my car keys and my wallet. Mikey and Gee were waiting in the garage already. I had to lock the door first and then I ran down after them.
The ride was short and in ten minutes we already were in the Hollywood Highlands shopping center. Since it was weekend, there were tons of people everywhere. When we came out on the Hollywood Blvd., there were so many tourists there that we quickly headed back in again.
"I'll go now. And will come back in an hour or so, with my hair freshly dyed. You can come after me, if you want," Gee said and left us.
"So, where do you wanna go?"
"I don't know what is here, I've never been here before,"
"Okay. Let's go to...Diesel?"
"Sure,"
When we were 50 minutes later leaving the huge Diesel store, we were carrying many bags. Mikey was very nice and he paid for everything and let me buy anything I wanted.
It ended up that I got two pairs of new jeans, one of them was dark blue and the other one black, then three new t-shirts, one black, one grey and one red. And a new grey hoodie.
Mikey bought two pairs of new jeans too, along with a t-shirt and a shirt. We bought one shirt for Frankie and one t-shirt for Gerard. We went to put the bags in the car, because it would be impossible to continue shopping with so many things.
I got a text from Gee then.
Waiting outside.
We went outside then and saw him standing there holding a cup holder with three cups from Starbucks.
"You're amazing!" I said, taking my Caramel Frappuccino.
"No problem. What do you think of my hair?"
"I think it's the same like before, just a bit shorter and a lot darker," said Mikey.
"My dear brother, your hair is same for years, so shut up!"
"Hey, you've asked, so I wanted to be honest,"
I laughed as I was listening to them.
"And you should go; Mark is waiting for you,"
"Mark?"
"My hairdresser. Have you decided about the color?"
"I'll call Frank first,"
I pulled out my phone and dialed Frankie's number.
"Talie?"
"Hi Frank!"
"Hi! Do you need anything?"
"Well I went to Hollywood Highlands with Mikey and Gee and I'm going to Gee's hairdresser now. I wanted to ask, can I dye my hair?"
"Dye your hair? If you want to...sure. But remember you'll have to wear it on your head. But you can, of course, but I'll be happy if it wasn't blonde or pink,"
"No worries, thank you!"
"No problem, I'll talk to you later, bye!"
"Bye!"
I ended the call, placed the phone in my pocket and raised my head.
"Where is it?"
Gee pointed at a house next to the shopping center. There was a shop downstairs, but there was a door with doorbells too. He rang one.
"Hello?"
"Mark, it's me, Gerard. Can I send Talia upstairs?"
"Sure, I'm waiting!"
The door automatically opened.
"It's on the first floor. What color will you have by the way?"
"I'll leave it as a surprise. Mikey, would you mind my hair being short?"
"Not at all. I think it would look perfect," he said, giving me a kiss. I saw Gee rolling his eyes. I smiled.
"I'll call you when I'll be finished!"
Then I entered the house and went to the first floor.
The whole hairdressing studio was enormous, but empty
"Hi!" a tall, blonde hair guy with an earring appeared from one of the doors.
"Hi!"
"Natalia Iero?"
"Yep, that's me,"
"I'm Mark Terrence, nice to meet you,"
"Same to you!"
"So, I've heard you want to get your hair dyed!"
"It was Gee's idea. But I'd love to! And I want a haircut, like a real haircut, I want my hair to be short,"
"Then you're at the right place,"
He led me to sat down to a chair.
"So, what color would be the one for you?"
"I don't know. Anything. But blonde and pink are banded by my brother,"
"Well...what about black with some kind of high lights?"
"That's perfect!"
We remained chatting, while he was dying my hair. Then he washed it and then he cut it.
In an hour and half, my hair was short like Frankie's. Then I had to choose the color of the highlights, it was very hard.
"Pink, purple, blonde, dark red, light red, dark blue, light blue, even green, ginger, anything!"
"I think I'll go for purple!"
"Sure, great choice!"
Another 30 minutes later, my new hair was finished. It was exactly how I wanted it.
"You look stunning!" Mark said.
"Thank you! I love it!"
I called Mikey then.
"I'm done!"
"Come to meet us, we're waiting in front of the Tiffany's,"
"I'll be there in two minutes,"
I headed back into the shopping center and every time I saw my reflection in anything, I smiled at my hair.
"You look absolutely amazing!" I heard behind me. I smiled and turned around to face the Way brothers staring at me.
"Oh. My. God," Gee said, looking at me.
"You look beautiful," Mikey breathed out and came closer to kiss me. He went around me in a circle then and stopped behind me. He leaned forward to whisper into my ear: "And you know what I can do now? This!"
He kissed my neck up and down few times.
"Get a room, you two!" Gerard sighed.
"Fuck you, are you jealous or what?" Mikey said. Gee laughed.
"I have Lindsey,"
"You're jealous," Mikey argued and kissed my lips. Gee rolled his eyes again.
"My turn for the hairdresser. I'll see you soon, love of my life," Mikey said. I kissed his lips softly again.
"I'll see you," I said and let him go.
I turned to Gee. He had a strange look in his eyes I've never seen before.
"What?"
"Thank you,"
"What?"
"He's happy,"
"Do you really think so?"
"I'm his brother, that's something I recognize. I never saw him this happy,"
"I'm glad he's happy,"
"I know. Let's go, do you want to buy something else?"
"I don't know,"
"We bought some more clothes for me and Mikes and we went to Victoria's Secret and brought you a pajamas. It's in the car, do you want to see it?"
"I hope it's not pink,"
"No worries!"
We went to the car and Gee showed me my new pajamas. It was a pair of black shorts and a dark red t-shirt. It looked really nice.
"We are going to a photographer, when Mikey's back,"
"What the hell?"
"Your first photo-shoot! And not really, it will be just us three,"
"Cool. We should wear some of the new clothes!"
"I absolutely agree,"
"Let's go to Converse now!"
"Yay!"
We went to a Converse shop.
"Gerard Way?" I turned around, when someone said that. Gee turned around too.
There were three girls, they could be a year or two older than I was.
"We are huge fans!" one of the girls said. Gee smiled and pulled out a pen.
"Want me to sign anything?" he asked and they quickly took out papers and let him sign them.
"Are you Chloe? Frank's sister?" one of them asked then, smiling. I nodded.
"You are so lucky!" she continued and then handed me the paper to sign it too. I stared. Someone wants my autograph?
I took it and signed it 'Talia' quickly. The girl looked at it.
"Talie? I thought your name was Chloe?"
"Chloe Natalia. I started to use my second name more now,"
"Oh. Well, nice to meet you! I can't wait for the new album, when is it coming out?" she turned to Gee and me then.
"We're not sure yet, next year in Spring, probably. We had to made a pause in recording, since Talie was in hospital," Gee said, putting an arm around my waist.
"I'm sorry to hear that. Would you mind to take a picture with us?"
I took a picture of the girls with Gee, then Gee took a picture with me and the girls and then we asked one lady to took a picture of all of us. The girls said goodbye then.
"Gee, they were so nice! That was the real MCRmy!"
"I know our fans are nice!"
"Let's buy new Converse now!"
We first chose a pair of Converse shoes for Gee. They were striped, grey and red.
For me, we chose one with a Los Angeles motive. I loved them. Then I bought a Converse jacket and Gee one t-shirt.
I chose two wristbands for Mikey then.
We went to put the clothes into the car and waited for Mikey. He came straight to the parking lot.
"You look...perfect," I said, checking his hair. It was just a bit shorter and the color remained the same, but I loved it anyway.
We went back home with all the clothes then.
"Did you realize you didn't eat anything yet?" Gee asked me, when we all met downstairs, dressed in our new clothes.
"Not at all. I'm not hungry,"
"Your brother would kill us. We'll go to a restaurant after we'll be finished at the photographer,"
We went by Gerard's car now. We went somewhere to West Hollywood, where we stopped in front of a new villa.
Gerard rang the doorbell. A man came to open the door for us. He could be 40, 45.
"Gerard, Mikey!" he welcomed them.
"Chloe, or Talia, sir," I replied.
We were invited inside and went through the house to a photographic studio. There was a huge white wall.
The picture taking was never ending. I-§m sure we took more than 6 hundred of pictures of all three of us. Then Gee and Mikey took pictures of them two together. It was fun to watch them.
Then it was me and Gee. I especially liked one of the pictures, where there was me, with Gee standing behind me, His arms were around me and it was really cute.
But the mist pictures we took with Mikey.
"Will you keep a secret for us?" Mikey asked, after about a 100 of classic photos. The photographer nodded.
Mikey kissed me then. I knew this would be my favorite picture.
When we were finished with the photo taking, the man promised to call us, when the pictures will be finished and with that, we went out of the house and got in the car.
"What's the time?"
"Ten too six,"
"Dinner time?"
"Breakfast, lunch and dinner, all together!"
"Where do you wanna go?"
"You chose," I said and let them two to argue about where were we going. After a while, we stopped in front of a diner. Or more like a little Italian restaurant.
"It's our favorite place. The owner is our old friend from Jersey. He's half Italian like us," Mikey said and took my hand. We entered the restaurant and were welcomed by a tall Italian man. Yeah, he looked very Italian.
"Gerard, Mikey! I'm so glad to see you! How have you been? You haven't visited us for a while,"
"Lucas. Hi!" Gerard said and they quickly started to chat in Italian. I understood like every second word.
"And now, meet our friend. She's Frankie's sister and a new member of our band,"
"And my girlfriend," Mikey added, holding my hand.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Lucas,"
"Il mio nome e Natalia,"
"Parla Italiano?"
"Si,"
"Bene!"
Lucas was a very sympathetic man. He led us to a table in the quieter part of the restaurant. Gerard pulled out the chair for me and as I gave him a smile, he kissed my cheek.
"Wait, is she yours or Mikey's girlfriend?"
"Mikey's. Gerard is my best friend,"
"Oh, I see,"
Mikey took my hand, which was on the table, into his. I send him a warm smile.
We spent few minutes in silence, when our drinks came and when we were reading in the Menu. The waiter came to take our order then.
"Signores? Prego!"
I looked at Mikey and Gee and they both nodded to me to start.
"Signorina,"
"Una pizza napoletana, prego!"
"Bene, grazie! Signor?"
"Una zupa de minestrone e spaghetti carbonara, prego!" Gerard ordered.
"Grazie, signor. E signor?"
"Si, un ravioli con funghi, prego!"
"Grazie signores!"
The waiter left.
"I'm so excited by the photos! When will they be finished, approximately?" I started the conversation.
"Since we took, like a thousand of them, I think a week," Gee said. I nodded.
"So, have you agreed on the school with Frank?"
"Well, not exactly agreed, but my timetable is set and it seems like I'll really have to go, on Thursday,"
"Where is the school?"
"Few minutes by car, or at least I think so,"
"Okay. Are you gonna have some after school things?"
"Well, I thought we wanted to release a new record next Spring,"
"You're right, we're gonna have so much things to do,"
"How many songs do we actually have now?"
"Eight. But we need to...make them perfect,"
"Yeah,"
We continued talking for few more minutes before our food came. After we finished our meals, Gerard paid and we went home. After watching 2 Star Wars movies, we all three fell asleep in the living room.
Next few days went on that fast that I hated it. It was very nice to know, that considering to some reparations in the school, the first day of the school year was set on the 5th of September.
But still, the days were very quick. And yeah, before I realized, it was morning of the 5tht of September. I was nervous and beginning to get hysterical. It was seven thirty and I was ready to go. Earlier that morning, I had a quick talk with Mikey, he wished me good luck and so on. Bob and Ray did the same.
Gee hugged me, while I was standing in the hall, waiting for Frank.
"Good luck, honey!"
"I don't wanna go, I wanna be here with you,"
"Shhh, I'll pick you up after school and take you to the hospital, okay? And we shall start recording and practicing and so on,"
"I'll see you later,"
"Talia? You're gonna do it, be strong,"
I nodded and hugged him once more.
"Ready?" Frank said.
"No, but let's go!" I said, taking my back pack. I was never a fan of handbags.
The car ride was silent. I was trying to calm down. When we stopped in front of the school Frankie asked: "Do you want me to go with you?"
"Nah, I'd be better alone. I'll see you later,"
"Okay. Good luck, my little sister," he said, hugging me tightly.
I took a deep breath and left the safety of Frank's car. I felt eyes on me. So many of them.
There was a lot of boys and girls everywhere. Of course, Talia, it's a school!
I entered the building and as I thought, the first room I saw, was an Office. I entered.
"Hello sweetie, how can I help you?"
"Uhm...hello. I'm a new student,"
"Oh, then welcome to Beverly Hills High School! What's your name, please?"
"Chloe Natalia Iero,"
"Oh yes, I have your timetable here. Look, here is a plan of the school," the woman showed me a map and explained me everything.
"Your first lesson is English, I'm going to escort you there, don't be nervous!"
"Sure, thanks,"
The bell just rang and all the teenagers were quickly disappearing in different classrooms. The woman led me to a different building, building B, as I was later informed. We went up the stairs and stopped in front of a room B 212.
She knocked. "Come in!"
"Hello, Mr. Davis! I hope you know, who this is!"
"Yes, I'm sure this is my new student, hello!"
"Hello, sir," I said quietly. The woman blinked at me and then left.
"So, you must be Chloe, right? I'm calling my students by their first names,"
"Yeah, I'm Chloe,"
"So Chloe, would you like to tell your new English class something about yourself?" Mr. Davis said. Oh god, such an enthusiastic teacher. I managed to didn't say no and opened my mouth.
"My name is Chloe Natalia Iero and I'm-"
"Wait, Iero? You are a sister of Frank Iero, right? The guitarist and-" some boy in the back of the classroom asked. I nodded.
"Dan, could you not interrupt, please?" Mr. Davis shut him up.
"I'm sorry, sir,"
"Yeah, I'm 16 years old. My hobbies are singing, playing guitar, piano and bass, drawing, writing, reading and listening to music,"
"Thank you, Chloe. Now, if you would please sit down. The only free place is next to Dan, right at the back row," Mr. Davis said. I went to the back to sit next to a black haired guy with a piercing in his lip. He was dressed in a metal-rock style.
"Daniel,"
"Chloe Natalia,"
"Shall I call you Chloe or Natalia?"
"People call me more by my second name these days,"
"Okay. Nice to meet you, Natalia,"
I turned my attention to then. I knew I was going to like his lessons very much. I just discovered we were allowed to use laptops in all our lessons. I must take my laptop with me tomorrow.
started to talk about the things we will do this year. The lesson was over very quickly.
"And class, I know this is the first lesson, but anyway. Your homework is a simple thing. 500 words essay on a theme My family. Yeah, I know you've done it million times, but you're going to do it once more. It's due Wednesday,"
I sighed. How I was going to write this? 500 words just about Frank. That won't be that bad. Dan's voice woke me up.
"What do you have now?"
"History, B 106,"
"I'm in B 108, I'll show you where it is!" he offered. I nodded thankfully.
"So, I know it might sound strange, but, are you going to give me your autograph?"
"Later, okay?"
"Sure, I'm sorry. I just, I just really like My Chem, you know,"
"I understand," I replied and we continued walking in silence. We went back down to the ground floor.
"This is B 106," Dan said as we stopped in front of one classroom.
"Thanks for showing me,"
"No problem. Would you show me your timetable, we can compare it with mine,"
"Here it is,"
He studied it for few seconds.
"Seems like we have English, Math and Biology together!"
"Cool,"
"There's a break after this lesson, I'll wait for you here and we can go to Maths together?"
"Sure, thank you,"
"See you!" I said and made my way into the classroom. The teacher, a young lady, was sitting there already.
"Hello, are you a new student?"
"Yes, Miss,"
"Your name, please?"
"Chloe Iero,"
"Nice to meet you, Ms. Iero. I am Miss Blackett,"
"Miss," I said, nodding my head and trying to be polite.
"There is a free desk at the front, go and sit down, please!"
"Sure, Miss Blackett!"
I went to sit down to one of the front rows. The class was checking me. They probably haven't heard the conversation between Miss Blackett and me.
The bell rang.
"Good morning, class! Welcome to new school year! Before we will start, I would like you to meet your new classmate, Chloe Iero. Ms. Iero, would you please come here to the front and tell your classmates something about you?"
Urgh, I hated this.
"Uhm. Hi. I'm Chloe Iero, I'm sixteen. I'm from Phil-, sorry, I'm from New Jersey. And I like to sing, play musical instruments and draw,"
"Thank you, Ms. Iero,"
The class went to a murmured talk. Of course they talked about me. How stupid it was to actually tell where I was from? On scale from 1 to 10, it was... 92316827265206382
The teacher started to talk as well. About all we were going to do this year from world or American history. Awesome.
The ringing of the bell was a sound of freedom. I took my backpack and ran out of the class.
Dan was waiting for me outside.
"How was history?"
"Okay. Where's our Math classroom?"
"Building A. We are the best Math group in whole year, did you know that?"
"That has to be a mistake that I'm in it then,"
"That's definitely not true. Do you want to go and buy something to eat from the cafeteria?"
"I'm not hungry, but if you want to, let's go,"
He led me to the other building. The cafeteria was on the ground floor. It was full of teenagers and all of them were looking at us strangely.
"Is there something wrong with me? Everyone's staring!"
"You're new,"
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot!" I replied sarcastically and waited for him at the door. A group of blonde girls, eating apples were watching me and talking. I was sure at least two of them were in my English class.
"Who're they?" I asked Dan, when he came back with a bottle of Coke and a chocolate donut.
"Oh, cheerleaders," he said, taking a bite.
"Do they have English with us?"
"The two highest of them. They're Kaila and Belinda,"
"Such a perfect names for cheerleaders. They look dumb,"
"They are," Dan replied, laughing. We were slowly leaving the cafeteria and I felt the girls' eyes burning holes in my back.
We went up to the first floor and entered a small classroom, A 203. A man with glasses was sitting there, reading newspaper.
"Good morning, Mr. Taylor. How was your summer break?" Dan asked him. The man raised his head. He smiled.
"Oh, hi Daniel. Thank you, it was very nice.. What about yours?"
"Very good, thank you,"
"And who's your friend over here?" asked, pointing at me, smiling.
"I'm Chloe Iero. I'm a new student, sir,"
"Oh, so you are Chloe! Nice to meet you, welcome to our Maths classroom! I hope you'll be happy here with us! I see you made a friend already? Good, good!" he was interrupted by the bell and there were several more students, who entered the class.
They all looked very nerdy. He just said my name to the class and didn't make me talk to them. I was happy about that.
As all the teachers, he was whole lesson just talking about things we were going to do this year.
When the lesson ended, there was the hated Biology that had to come. We went down the stairs to room A 113.
"Hello, are you our new student?"
"Yes, I am,"
"Nice to meet you, I am Mrs. Smith,"
"My name is Chloe Iero, ma'am,"
"I'm glad you're in my class, Chloe. If you could go sit down, please?"
I quickly went to the desk in the back and sat down next to Dan. The class started.
First lesson was again all the we're going to do' stuff and since it was a double, the next period, we started to revise something about human body. It wasn't that bad, how I thought it will be.
The bell meant lunch break.
We went to the cafeteria once again and bought lunch. I bought some kind of salad and Dan some sandwich. We went to sit outside.
"So, where are your friends?"
"I don't have any. My best friend committed a suicide, 3 years ago and since that happened, I'm not very friendly,"
"I'm sorry, I screwed up,"
"It's alright, it doesn't hurt that much now," he said, taking a bite of his sandwich.
"I didn't have any friends in my last school too. But I think I'm gonna have at least one now,"
"Sure. So, would you mind giving me your autograph now, please?"
"Gosh, okay," I said, writing Talia on a small piece of paper he handed me.
"Are you an official member?"
"Of MCR? Yeah. I am. A guitarist and backing vocalist,"
"I can't wait for the new album,"
"We had to make a pause in recording, I was in hospital,"
"Oh, yeah, I've heard about it. By the way, is it true that Mikey broke up with Alicia Simmons?"
"Uhm...yes. Look, the guys wouldn't be happy if I would talk about their personal lives-"
"Sure, just tell him that I'm sorry,"
"He got over it,"
We remained chatting about less important things. Seriously, the last thing I wanted to talk about was my boyfriend's ex.
My phone interrupted us.
"Frank?" I said and getting up, I headed to a quieter place, where no one would listen.
"How is it there?"
"It's school, Frankie. It sucks,"
"Do you have any friends there?"
"Are you trying to make a joke or something? Actually, kind of,"
"Nice. By the way, Mikey or Gee will pick you up after school, there's something I need to do,"
"Okay,"
"So have fun!"
"No way,"
"Yes way. I'll talk to you later,"
"Bye, Frankie!"
I headed back.
"Isn't it the time to go back now?" I said, checking the time.
"Yeah, where are you now?"
"B 207, Spanish,"
"Oh, I'm in A 112, I have Chemistry,"
"Poor you, I'll see you later!"
I headed to building B and went up the stairs to the first floor. That class B 207 was empty apart from a teacher.
"Hola! Estaás nueva?"
"Si, me llama Chloe Natalia Iero,"
"Yo soy Senorita Gonzalez, or Miss Gonzales, the rest of your class is not very fluent in Spanish, so there's a need of talking in English to them," Senorita Gonzalez went from fluent Spanish to fluent English.
"Okay," I replied and then the bell rang. I went to sit to the back.
The class started.
"Buenos Dias!"
The rest of the class was very boring, because the teacher was trying to explain what were we going to do, but no one understood her, so she had to repeat herself in English then.
When the class finished, there was just Geography left. I went down the stairs, to enter the room B 120.
The teacher was a young man. He could be same age as Gerard.
"Good afternoon, sir. I am a new student,"
"Hello! My name is Mr. Wilson. Your name please?"
"Chloe Iero, sir,"
"Nice to meet you, Chloe. I hope you'll enjoy our lessons,"
I nodded and went to sit to the back as always.
"Good afternoon class, please welcome a new student in our class for this year. Chloe, would you please come here and introduce yourself?"
"Hi. My name is Chloe Iero, I am from New Jersey and I am sixteen years old. I love singing, playing musical instruments and drawing," I repeated again. I was getting very tired already.
The class seemed never ending. I was watching the clock on the wall and was very sure that they had to be broken. When the bell finally rang at 3:47, I ran out of the classroom and headed to building A. I went to the Office and got my locker key and a list of textbooks I had to buy.
As I was walking towards the parking lot, I saw Dan waving at me.
"How was your afternoon?"
"Not bad. Yours?"
"Shit. You were right, Chemistry sucked. So, are you here by your own car?"
"Uhm, no,"
"Do you want me to give you a lift?" he said and stopped in front of a motorbike, standing there. I shook my head.
"Thank you, but no. There's someone coming for me already,"
"Oh, is it one of the guys?"
"Dan,"
"Okay, okay, I know. So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow on English?"
"Yeah. Thanks for everything!" I quickly ended the conversation, when I saw Gerard's car just entering the parking lot. Dan gave me a look. I rolled my eyes.
The car stopped and I prayed that whoever it was, he will be clever enough to stay in.
Praying didn't help and in a second, I saw Gee, getting out of the car. He was dressed in black pants and a grey jacket and had his sunglasses on. His black hair was messy. He waved at me.
I turned around to see Dan staring at Gerard. I sighed again. Dan wasn't the only one who was staring. Even though the rest of the school looked like they don't know what good music is and listened just to some rap and hip hop, they recognized Gee.
"Talie!" he called. I ran to him. He pulled me into a hug. I was pulling away quickly.
"How was school?"
"Let me go! Everyone's staring!"
"Let them stare and tell me how was school," he said and didn't let me go.
"It sucked. But it always sucks, so that's nothing new. Can we go?"
"Sure," Gee said and opened the door for me. I rolled my eyes again and sat into the car. I saw all the people staring at me through the window. God.
"You see what you did?"
"No. Let's go now,"
"Okay. Can we stop at Starbucks?"
"We have to," Gerard said and that made me smile. We went to a Starbucks drive through. When I got my Caramel Frappucino, everything looked suddenly better.
"SO tell me. How are the teachers?"
"The teachers are all okay. They're fun,"
"That's nice. And what about the kids?"
"I don't know. They are...you know...completely different than I am. But there's one guy, Daniel, I have English, Math and Biology with him, he loves My Chem and he's okay,"
"Mikey will be jealous,"
"What. Why?"
"Because you are talking to a guy!"
"Gee, I don't know this kid very well! And I don't know, I have a suspicion he's gay. But never mind, I love Mikey like anything in the world, you know?"
"I know,"
We stopped in front of the hospital and made our way to the Neuro- block. We went by an elevator to the second floor and sat down to a small waiting room in front of my doctor's ordination.
A nurse came through the corridor and before entering the ordination, she nod at us.
", Mr. Way! I'll let Doctor Adams know you're here," she said. We nodded back simultaneously.
We waited in silence few more minutes. Gee caught my hand in his. I don't know why, but I pulled away. I was always very nervous, before these.
"What are you doing?" I asked him angrily.
"Holding your hand,"
"Why?"
"Because I want to!"
"You-"
"Ms. Iero, you can come in, please!" we were interrupted by the nurse. We entered.
Dr. Adams was sitting in his chair like always. He was a middle-aged sympathetic man.
"Chloe, Mr. Way, hello! I can see you a have a haircut, Chloe! You look perfect!"
"Good afternoon, Dr. Adams. And thank you!"
"How have you been? Any complications?"
"Nothing, sir. I still have enormous headaches sometimes though," I replied truthfully.
"Talia, you never-" Gee started, but I interrupted him.
