Author's note: Hi guys! I'm back. It took me so long and I'm so sorry. I was in hospital with mononucleosis and anemia and then my computer was broken. Thanks for reviews, keep them coming!

Enjoy!

"I didn't want to make you worried, Gee,"
"Okay. So Chloe, I believe you don't have any physical activity at the moment. Like anything at all,"
"No sir, nothing,"
"What about p.e., at school?"
"I almost forgot! We just started today and we have PE every Tuesday, two lessons,"
"No P.E until Christmas. I'll give you a paper you'll give to someone at school. Now, let's do everything we do normally,"
Next twenty minutes were spent by different examinations. The doctor checked my eyes, my blood pressure and did a lot of other tests I didn't know what for.
"So, Chloe. You can slowly start listening to louder music; you can start singing, playing instruments loudly and so on. But take it slowly, okay? There's no need to hurry, if you don't want to have another internal bleeding, alright?"
"Sure, thank you,"
"I'll see you as usually on Thursday, okay? Wait outside for the papers to school, please!"
"Thank you, sir! Goodbye!"
We exited the room and waited a minute or two outside. The nurse then came and handed me a folded paper.
"Here you go,"
"Thanks,"
We slowly went towards the exit.
"Does that mean I'll have two hours shorter school on Tuesdays? And I won't even have to stay for lunch! That means I will end at 1:05, Gee! That's fucking awesome!"
"Yeah, I know. So, let's go home!"
When we came home and I saw Frankie, Mikey, Ray and Bob sitting in the living room, I just realized that even that these 9 hours I haven't seen them were too long to bear. I missed them.
"How was school?" Frankie greeted me with a hug.
"It sucked. The teachers are okay and fun, but you know, anyway,"
"Teachers are fun? I never heard anyone saying this before,"
"You just need to take it positively,"
"Awesome. So, we were just talking about the new album. We have a theme, we have a story, we don't have the name yet. We have 8 songs, which like 5 of them are finished I guess. But everything needs to be recorded, so we have much work to do!"
I sat down next to Mikey. Gee did the same and sat next to him from the other side.
"So, I think what we should do now, is to conclude what we are missing. We have some songs, but I think we need a lot more of them. We need to connect the theme together, you know," Bob said. Ray took after him.
"I think we should focus more on the guitar tracks, plus we should write something additional to the songs for Talia. Then we can decide for the vocal tracks. And in between this we should try to write, whenever we will get an idea,"
"Anyone wants to go to the studio now?" Mikey asked.
"I want to go!"
"Me too!"
"And me,"
It was settled then, that me, Ray, Mikey and Frankie were going to the studio. Bob and Gee were staying at home.
Ray called Matt, a producer, or no...More like someone who was helping with everything. With the recording and so on. We were meeting at our studio on fifteen minutes.
I took my laptop with me, with the intention of writing my English essay, when I won't be doing anything.
Matt was a very nice guy. I never saw him before. Since I was a new member, he wanted me to play and sing him something. I decided for I'm not Okay, since that was very successful last time.
"Talia, you are freaking awesome," he said, when I finished.
"Thank you, I guess,"
"Now guys! I want Ray and Frank to play their guitar lines in that "Living song" or how we decided to call that one okay? Mikey you can actually play too. We will see if there's something we can add or erase and we will put it to another guitar line,"
I loved the song. I didn't like the name though, but that was not important.
In two hours, guys played three songs and we could all decide about another guitar line. Then it was my turn to try them. I made few mistakes, but all in all, it looked very positive. Ray and Frankie got into a huge discussion with Matt and so I went to the living room, waving at Mikey to come with.
I waited for him few seconds, then he came in and as soon as he closed the door after himself, I felt his lips on mine. We remained kissing for few seconds.
"I missed you," he whispered.
"I was with you for past few hours,"
"I missed your lips,"
"They were also there for past few hours,"
"Shut it. I missed your lips on mine," he said and started kissing me again. When our lips parted, so we could take a breath, he whispered something very sweet: "You know, if kissing didn't exist, I would invent it, so I could kiss you,"
"That's very...sweet of you,"
"Mikey? Talia?" Ray was calling our names. We quickly headed back.
"Where were you?"
"Getting a drink,"
"Oh, we need both of you now, we want to try 'I Don't Love You' all together,"
"Sure,"
Both me and Mikey picked up our headphones, I took my new guitar I got from Bob for my birthday, Mikey his bass and we waited for the others.
It was the second time ever I played the song, but I didn't make a single mistake. And I thought the song sounded...very nice.
"Stop!" Matt called, when we were almost finished.
"I think it's fucking awesome, really,"
"Yay!" Frankie called and we all high-fived. Then they started to talk about some kind of technical details I didn't understand. So I sat down to one of the armchairs and started writing my English essay.
My family...hm...My family consists of me and my brother Frank...
I was watching Frankie for few seconds and then I started to write. It took me an hour to finish. I didn't realize how late it was already. It was ten to midnight. Oh shit...and I had to get up early tomorrow.
"Shit, it's late. We should go," Frankie said.

We went back home and I went to bed. I was almost asleep, when I heard the door opened. And then I saw Mikey sitting on the bed to me. Even though it was dark, I could see his smile. He leaned down to kiss me.
"Mikey," I whispered into the kiss.
"Talie," he whispered back. We continued kissing.
"No one on the Earth loves you more than I love you. Only God, maybe,"
"I don't believe in God, Mikey,"
"Neither do I. Therefore there's no one who would ever love you more than me," he said quietly and kissed me again.
"Mikey, words can't explain how much you mean to me,"
"Will you mind if I'll stay?"
"I won't," I said and snuggled closer to his chest, closing my eyes. I was falling asleep listening to him singing a song in Italian.
"Mikey!" someone was shouting. I opened my eyes, shit. Nope, not good.
"Natalia, can you explain this?" Frank said, standing next to the bed. Mikey was awake and he held me in his arms.
"Or more like there's nothing to explain, right?" Frank continued.
My eyes widened.
"Do you think we had sex or-?" I started.
"That's exactly what I think. Natalia, come with me now. I think we need to talk,"
"Frank, I wouldn't-" Mikey started. I placed my hand over his lips.
"Don't. I'll talk to him," I said and with a quick kiss on his mouth, I left after my brother. We went to his room.
"Talia. I don't know what to say," Frank started.
"Frankie, Mikey and I didn't have sex together, okay?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't believe you. I knew what I saw."
"Exactly, you saw me and Mikey sleeping in a bed together, fully clothed,"
"Don't say anything. I was so happy when I found out you exist, when you came here and became a part of our band. But I would never ever think you were going to start an affair with Mikey! He's my best friend, for God's sake! That has to end, do you understand me?"
"Frank, it's-"
"Don't. I'll have a serious talk with Mikey now,"
"And who's going to take me to school?"
"Ask Bob, or someone else. And Natalia? You're 16! You shouldn't have been having an affair; you're way too young for that. You disappointed me,"
As he said that, tears of anger and sadness started to flow down my cheeks. I ran to my room and got dressed. I took my things and bumped into Mikey then.
"What-?"
"He's pissed. Talk to him. Explain it to him. Tell him that I love you, because it's true!"
"I will. I love you too," Mikey replied and captured my lips in a long kiss. I went downstairs and found Gee standing in the hall.
"Starbucks before school?" he asked, wiping a tear away from my cheek. I nodded. Starbucks and Gee, they had one thing in common. They could have made me feel million times better.
He took my hand into his.
"Let's go then!"
We went down to the garage. We sat into the car and I suddenly felt so grateful that Gerard was there. I stroked his hand with mine as we drove. He gave me a warm smile. We had 30 minutes left, when we stopped in front of our Starbucks. I insisted that we were going to stay in the car and I didn't want to go inside.
"What can I bring you?"
"Caramel Frappuccino,"
"And to eat?"
"Nothing," I said and watched him entering the store. He came back few minutes later, holding two cups and a package.
"Here it is. And here's your breakfast!"
"Gee, I told you I'm not going to eat,"
"It's just yoghurt,"
"No!"
Gerard sighed and opened the strawberry yoghurt with wild berries. He took the plastic teaspoon and took a bit of the yoghurt on it.
"Will you please open your mouth?" he asked. I sighed and after few seconds finally let him feed me.
"You have yoghurt on your lip!" he told me once.
"Still?"
"Yeah," he confirmed. Then he looked at his full hands and shook his head. Then I felt his tongue on my lips. He licked the yoghurt away, but remained where he was. I opened my mouth slowly and let him kiss me. We were kissing for a minute or two. I could taste lust in his mouth.
"Oh God, too bad I have a girlfriend already. I would have date you even just because you really know how to kiss,"
"Gee, you're funny,"
"Am I. Thanks I guess,"
"Shouldn't we go now?"
"We have 25 minutes, Talia,"
"Yeah, but I don't want to be late on the second day of school and I don't want the teachers to be pissed at me and eventually-,"
"Call your bro that you are skipping, or what?"
"Exactly. And now you know, when he is pretty pissed already,"
"It's funny,"
"Not that funny. Frank thinks that I and Mikey are just fucking each other and that's it,"
"I'll talk to him...later," Gee said. He kissed my lips once again.
"Gee, I don't understand this. Why do you keep on kissing me," I said, stroking his cheek.
"You're just so... indescribable. And that's why I love you,"
"You're my best friend," I whispered, resting my forehead against his.
"As I have said. Best friends forever," he confirmed.
"With benefits. I like the benefits, you know," he continued then.
"Me too." I said, but pushed him away.
"Why did you do this?" he asked, looking like I hurt him so much.
"I have school soon,"
"Okay. Let's go!" he said. Then when we drove to school, he placed his hand on my leg.
"Gee, if we're going to cause a car crash, just because of your erotic fantasies and because you have one of your hands on my thigh, I think I'm going to laugh,"
"Do you want me to put my hand somewhere else?" he said with a cheeky smile. I shoved his hand.
"You're such a pervert, Gee. And you know what? Get your hands off me, someone's going to see us,"
"As your majesty wishes," he replied and he pulled away. We were a block away from the school.
"Stop here!" I ordered. He did.
"Why?" he wondered, because school was still a hundred meters away and around the corner.
"Because I don't want anyone to see you now, okay?"
"Okay. So, I'll see you later,"
"Yeah, bye!" I replied and let him pull my face down on the same level as his was and he gave me a soft kiss.
"I'm sorry," he said then.
"Why?"
"Because you think I'm just trying to get in your pants," he said. I made him lift his head so he would look into my eyes.
"I will never think that, okay? You're my best friend, period. Then there are those benefits, which are something completely different, period number two. Do you understand me?"
"I do. Thanks. Ti voglio bene, Talie,"
"Ti voglio bene, Gerard," I said and kissed his cheek goodbye.

I walked towards school. I slowed down, when I was getting closer to building B and therefore my English lesson. And suddenly, tears started to flow down my cheeks. Why? Because of everything. I'm not normal...
The bell signaled the beginning of my first lesson. I wiped all my tears away and ran to the classroom. I slipped quietly to the last row next to Dan.
He gave me a hug.
"Talie, hi! What's wrong, you look like you cried,"
Hmmm, awesome. Another person that wants to dig in my own business. But no, not Dan. This guy seemed he liked me and cared.
"It's nothing important,"
"It is. If it weren't important, you would not been crying,"
"Dan-"
"Chloe, Dan?"
"Yes, sir?" we replied together.
"Are you paying attention? Because I think you're not,"
"We are, Mr. Davis. You were just saying that those of us, who weren't lazy to do our APs, last year, will have a-"
"Okay Chloe. I guess you are paying attention. Excuse me, my fault,"
Mr. Davis returned to his talk about our final exams.
"So tell me. What's wrong?" Dan whispered.
"I argued with my brother," I admitted.
"About what?"
"Dan,"
"Okay, okay. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to,"
"Because of my boyfriend,"
"Oh,"
"Yeah, I know."
"And what's wrong with your boyfriend?"
"Well the point is, that Frankie thinks that I'm just sleeping with him,"
"Oh that sucks. How come?"
"I'll tell you during break, okay?"
"Fair enough,"
We shut up then. Mr. Davis kept on talking about our examinations.
When the bell rang, Dan and I parted, each of us heading to our class. I had my first music lesson.
I entered the classroom B 101. There were 3 people in the class, while one was a teacher.
"Hello. Are you Chloe?" the teacher, a young woman asked as I entered. I nodded.
"I'm Chloe Iero," I introduce myself.
"You are new, right? My name is Ms. Reed. But my senior and junior students can call me by my first name. I'm Tina, nice to meet you,"
"Nice to meet you too,"
"Now, these are your only two classmates, this is Alice," she pointed at a blond girl. I saw her with the cheerleaders yesterday. Where were her girls now?
She waved and sent me an I-don't-know-you-yet-but-you're-not-better-than-me look. I smirked.
"And this is Tommy," Ms. Reed, Tina, pointed at the blonde guy sitting next to Alice. He nodded.
"Would you tell us something about yourself? I mean, not in a sentence. Try to be creative. I would love to hear about your music background too," Tina, Ms. Reed said. I forced out a smile.
"Oh, okay. My name is Chloe Natalia Iero and I am 16 years old. Originally, I come from Belleville, New Jersey. I spent my childhood living in Philly, with foster parents. I moved to LA when my real Mom died and I was placed to full custody of my brother Frank. He's 23. I live with him and his friends. Now, about my music background. I like Rock, Punk, Punk Rock, Hard Rock, and Metal and so on. I'm sorry to say that I hate hip-hop, rap, r'n'b and pop music. I can play guitar, piano and bass. I love singing too. I recently joined my bro's band, called My Chemical Romance and we're recording a new album just now. I am an additional guitarist and back vocalist," I told them everything that came on my mind.
"So you really are, Natalia Iero, that Iero. Frank's sister," Tina said quietly. I nodded.
"I've heard a lot about My Chemical Romance," she added as an afterthought then. "Even though these genres are not very popular with today's teenagers,"
I nodded knowingly.
"So class, today, I would like you all to perform. Sing; play an instrument, anything, okay?" Tina, Ms. Reed said.
"I'm going first," the blondie announced. Oh Alice, that was her name.
"Okay, Alice. What will you show us?"
"I will sing a song. It's called Shake It Off and it was originally sung by Mariah Carey,"
"Go ahead, Alice,"
From the first moment when she opened her mouth, I knew I was not going to like her voice. Not that it was that bad, but it was too sweet in my opinion. When she ended, we all clapped.
"That was nice, Alice! Thank you! And now, would you two please tell Alice what you think about her singing. It would be nice to hear some constructive criticism too,"
Oh fuck, do we really have to?
"I think it was perfect, Al," the guy, Tommy told her and smiled.
"Thank you, Tommy, that's so sweet of you,"
"Chloe?"
"I think it was really nice in general. Your voice is good and also the song is. But I think that some of the higher tones were a bit too high," I exclaimed.
"Shut the fuck up! You know nothing about-," Alice started.
"Alice, that's enough. It was constructive criticism and Chloe didn't mean to offend you!" Tina jumped in.
"You're a loser. Keep your opinions for yourself; no one is interested in them!" Alice hissed. I shrugged my shoulders.
"My turn," Tommy announced. He took one of the acoustic guitars from the shelf behind him.
"I'm going to play and sing Beautiful Soul by Jesse McCartney,"
He was good. I liked his performance, but the song was too pathetic and sounded too sweet and poppy.
"Very good job, Thomas. Now, your opinions?"
"I think you're amazing, Tommy!" Alice said.
"I must agree with Alice. You're good,"
"Thank you," Tommy said, nodding. Alice shot him a look. She was pissed that he just cared to answer.
"Well, I think it's your turn, Chloe. What will you show us?"
I thought hard. It would be weird to sing an MCR song. So I decided for Green Day. I was choosing between Wake Me Up When September Ends and Boulevard of Broken Dreams. The latter won, because the first one seemed too long. And Boulevard of Broken Dreams seemed more interesting.
"Can I use some electric guitar, please?"
"Yes, let me get you one," Tina said and left and came back again in a second with a classic Epiphone electric guitar. It was a similar to one Frank had. I frowned when Frank came to my mind.
"I'll sing a song called Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day," I announced and watched Alice making a silly face.

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up when everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
When the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'til then I walk alone...

I finished and took the guitar off my neck.
"Oh my God, you're such a loser! Singing here a song that no one knows, completely off tune and completely boring," Alice the bitch stated. I smirked.
"How can you judge it's off tune, when you don't know the song?" I asked her.
"I can hear it you know? I'm not musically deaf like you are!" Alice continued.
"That's enough. How old are you, three?" Tommy jumped in. What the hell, that shampoo is taking my side?
"I must disagree with you, Alice. She's very good. Chloe...you have a nice voice and I liked your performance,"
I stared. Oh really, shampoo was taking my side!
I nodded knowingly.
"Chloe, I must say, if you're singing on the next MCR album, it's going to be a hit of the decade. Your voice is truly, truly amazing," Tina said. Our lesson continued and I was sure that I was going to love Music. Some bitch like that Alice girl, cannot ruin this.
When it was break time, I headed outside and then to meet Dan.
We met again outside building A. I already went to the office and handed in the paper I got in hospital.
"Talie,"
"Dan,"
"Want to go to our Maths class? No one's going to be in there,"
"Oh okay,"
My prayers that he's going to forget about what we were talking about earlier weren't successful.
"So tell me,"
"It's...well today, Frank came into my room and found me sleeping in my bed with my boyfriend, okay?"
"Oh. That sucks. And did you-?"
"What! We didn't have sex if that is what you're asking about,"
"Sorry. And how come no one saw your boyfriend coming to your house?"
Oh shit. Now I had to tell the truth.
"Everyone saw him, because everyone knows him there,"
"Who is it? Tell me,"
"Dan, it's very hard to tell you,"
"Come on. I swear I'll keep your secret, okay?"
I sighed. What to do, what to say. I had to tell the truth.
"The reason that no one is surprised when he came in the house is that it's normal. He lives in the same house as I do,"
"No way!"
"Yes...Way,"
"Which Way?"
"Mikey Way," I said and hid my face in my hands. Dan placed his arm around my waist.
"Oh my God, that's sooo cute!" he said. I gave him a look.
"But it sucks,"
"Why? Is he-?"
"Not that I'm with Mikey, you idiot! But that Frank thinks we are just fucking!"
"Well...I kind of don't know what to say,"
"Neither do I,"
"I'm happy for you and Mikey!"
"Oh. Thank you I guess,"
"No problem. How long have you been together?"
"Since 7th of August,"
"Wow, almost a month,"
"I really can't hear sarcasm in your voice, right?"
"No sarcasm. Tell Mikey I'm happy for you,"
We remained chatting for the break time. Just when Math lesson started, my phone vibrated in my pocket.
It was a text from Mikey.

'We talked...he's pissed, but he'll deal with it sooner or later. So, no worries, ok?'

I smiled as I raised my eyes from the phone. Dan looked at me.
"Care to share the news?"
"Maybe later?" I said, texting back quickly.

Thank God. I'm sooo happy...so, how did you manage to persuade him that we are really dating?

There was an answer in less than a minute.

We talked and talked...and I kinda told him how much u mean to me, u know? ;)

I suddenly felt such a guilt. Mikey was the person I loved the most in the world. But there was Gee, my best friend...with benefits.
I felt so selfish.

Awwwww, so sweet, Mr. Way. :) I love you, ok?

An answer came in 20 seconds.

I love you too, Ms. Iero. :) and now, focus. On whatever subject you have now. :D

I smiled. So caring about my education.

Kay, mom..:) no, jk. I'll see u later. Love you, Mikes.

I sent the text. Dan was looking at me.
"What?"
"It just seems so weird that you're texting to them you know,"
"I know. It seemed so unbelievable at first too,"
I started paying attention for once and did few exercises we were supposed to do. I look around me. My classmates were still working. I showed my work to Mr. Taylor.
"Very good, Chloe. Exercise 2, 3 and 4 will be your homework for Thursday. If you're done, you can work on that now,"
I waited till Mr. Taylor went to sit down and so I took out my phone again.
I wrote a text to Gee.

'We have to tell Mikey.'

A reply was back in less than 5 seconds.

'What?'

'BFFWB'

'oh...thought so. U sure?'

'Dunno. What's he gonna say?'

'How the f should I know? We'll talk about it after school, ok?'

'R u picking me up then?'

'Yep and get ready. Studio time. 1:05, in front of the school.'

'Kay. Can't wait. C u.'

'same. Hugs.'

With his last text, our conversation ended. After Maths, I had Art.

When the bell rang at 1:05 I went to my locker. I put there all the text books I bought earlier and took just my Math exercise book. I didn't own any other exercise books anyway, since I was using my laptop.
I bumped into Dan then.
"What are you doing during lunch?"
"I'm actually going home. I have PE then and I'm passive until Christmas,"
"Oh, how come?"
"Because of my injury in summer. I'm not allowed to do sports for now,"
"Oh. Yeah. So I guess I'll see you tomorrow,"
"Dan? Do you want to meet Gerard?"
"Say what?"
"Gee is picking me up. Let's go!"
"My dream is coming true,"
"Just, don't act too...you know,"
We went together to the parking lot. Gee was leaning against the car. I smiled as I saw him and ran towards him.
He hugged me tightly and kissed my forehead.
"Gee, may I introduce you to my friend? Gee, Daniel Miller. Dan, Gerard Way,"
Dan stared with his mouth open.
"Hi Dan, how are you doing?"
"Gerard Way? I mean, Gerard Way! Hello. Nice to meet you," Dan finally started talking. Gee smiled.
"Nice to meet you too. So, you're Talia's friend?"
"Yeah, we have English, Maths and Biology together,"
"Oh, cool,"
"I don't want to bother you or anything. I just wanted to tell you that I love your music and that it helped me a lot. My best friend died 2 years ago and your music made me get through,"
"I'm sorry. And thank you very much. I guess that since you and Talie are friends, you'd be welcomed in our house for a visit,"
"Oh really? Thank you, Gerard, if I may call you Gerard,"
"I feel so old when someone calls me Mr. Way. So if you would excuse us now? We're on our way to studio,"
"Yeah, sure. It was very nice to meet you, Gerard. Bye Talie, I'll see you tomorrow,"
I hugged him.
"Bye Dan,"
"Bye Dan, it was nice to meet you;" Gerard said and opened the door for me. I sat in.
We waved at Dan and drove away. We had to drive through whole Hollywood.
"Dan is nice. I'm glad you made a friend,"
"Yeah, me too," I admitted and laid my head down on the seat. I turned my face to Gee.
"We have to talk," I pointed out.
"About?"
"You know about what," I said.
"Nope,"
"Gee, don't make it harder than it is,"
"Why? I can't see where the problem is,"
"Gee, I'm in love with your brother. There's no one in the universe, who means so much to me like him. You have Lindsey. She loves you, you love her...that's how it should be. But then there's this little problem. Me and you. You are my best friend. But that's not all...there's something more. I can feel it. It's not love...or not in that sense of the word. I love you like a best friend, nothing less, nothing more. But then there's this. Some kind of need. And physical attraction. Yeah, as pathetic as it sounds. I am physically attracted to you," I spit it all out and took a deep breath. Gee was listening so focused, that he missed the left turn to the street where our studio was.
"Oh fuck,"
"Let's go back,"
"Yeah, what else would you like to do now,"
"Gee, are you mad at me?"
"Mad?"
"You deaf?"
"You know it's impossible to be mad at you,"
"I think it would be better if it were... Sometimes,"
We stopped in front of the studio. Frankie was standing outside, smoking.
I waved my hand few times in front of my face to get rid of the smoke.
"Can you just don't smoke when I'm around?"
"Nice to see you too,"
"Frank."
"I think it's time for us to talk,"
"I'll leave you two here," Gee said and patted my back, going inside.
I took a deep breath.
"So?" I decided to start.
"So. I'm sorry,"
"Me too,"
"I acted like an idiot,"
"Yeah, you did,"
"Thanks. No. I mean, really. I'm sorry. I judged you and Mikes before I even let you say something, okay?"
"It's alright. Maybe we should have told you. We planned to, but you know..."
"It's alright too. There's just one thing I would like you to know,"
"Tell me,"
"Talia, I don't care how old you are. You will be my little sister forever, okay? And I'm here to protect you. But, there's Mikey too, my best friend for years. If you two, won't work or something...I don't know what I'm going to do,"
"So basically, you're trying to tell me,-" I started, he jumped in: "I don't mean it-."
Now it was my turn to jump in.
"It's alright. I think it won't be a problem," I said and cut him off before he managed to say anything else.
"Talie,"
Frank hugged me then.
"Just...promise me you're going to tell me before you'll get married. I'd like to be there," he whispered.
"Frank, I'm 16-"
"Exactly. Never mind. I'm just too scared I'm going to lose you," he squeezed me in his arms.
When he let me go, we saw Mikey standing there next to us.
Frank extended his hand and Mikey shook it.
"You break her heart, I break your neck," Frank said.
"She's my world. I'll never do that," Mikey replied with a serious expression. Frank nodded.
"Mine too, so...please. Just don't do anything stupid,"
"Like if I was the one who does stupid things here,"
They both laughed and then Mikey extended his hand and I caught it into mine. I smiled. He did too.
"Let's go, beautiful," he said and pulled me in for a kiss. My cheeks redden. Frank just laughed and we went in.
