All That's Left Of Yesterday
Don't let memories go of me and you
Gerard's P.O.V.
I stare at the two people in front of me. My ex's neck, covered in my brother's love bites.
"So are you two together now?" I ask but I don't get an answer. I don't think I really want one.
"Why are you here?" Frank asks. The anger has gone from his voice but that doesn't stop him positioning himself in front of Mikey, who looks scared, but he still seems glad to see me, it's not easy to tell through the shock covering his face. My heart breaks as I see how much I've hurt him and realise I've missed him so much. But clearly his has been a good thing and he's moved on. We can start over.
"I missed you Mikey," I tell my brother and his face lights up. "I'm sorry," I continue. "I was stupid. Of course you're my brother and you always will be. I think the time apart has been good but now I want things to go back to the way they were, if that's what you want."
Mikey bursts into tears and runs over to me, throwing his arms around me. Tears threaten to fall from my eyes too as I hold my brother and whisper in his ear again "I'm sorry."
When Mikey lets go of me I turn to Frank.
"We were mates way before we went out so if it's alright with you I'd still like to be. I thought maybe the three of us could hit the clubs tonight or something?"
Frank looks uncertainly at Mikey but he pulls his undeniable puppy-dog face and Frank smiles and nods at me whilst Mikey just beams at us.
*~*~*~*~*~*
At the club everything's so right. A smile crosses my face as I stand there with Mikey next to me and Frank next to him.
"So are you two actually together then?" I ask them. Frank looks at Mikey who just shrugs and says "we'll talk about it later." Frank frowns and walks off, probably to dance on some hunky, defenceless guy; but what are gay bars for if it's not that? I just shrug to myself not really sure what's going on. But I don't care; tonight I'm just going to have fun.
