Now I was driving. We had decided to go back to Battery City to try and find the mile again. I was really done with all this driving. I didn't even really know where we were at the moment. I think that we in the north-west sector. Gerard and Ray were both asleep, Gee was in the back and Ray was in the passenger seat, snoring his head off. I looked back at Mikey who looked like he was about to be sick. "You okay back there Mikey?" I asked him, he looked like he was about to throw up.
"Yea, I'm fine Frank." He said. I nearly ran off the road. He replied to his name! He called me by mine! Ohmygodohmygodohmygod. I started to smile.
"Mikey?" I asked him, checking to see if he would reply again. He didn't even flinch, he just stared out the window. Sudden burst of happiness gone. It must have just been a little lapse or something. But that must mean that his memory was starting to resurface. I mean, he had responded to his own name and called me by mine. We were one step closer to getting him completely back. Maybe what Ray had done before and Gee telling him those stories must have triggered something. So decided to start to talking.
"Hey Mikey, I remember when you and I first met. We were in high school and some Jocks started giving me shit, calling me an emo and a fag and all that stuff. One of them punched me and I fell against a locker. It was your locker. You came along and saw me just sitting there and you asked me if I was okay. I told you yes and you said "If you were okay, you wouldn't be sitting against my locker looking upset with a bruise starting to form on your face" and I freaked out and apologised for being in your way. Instead you sat down next me and asked me what was wrong. That look of worry and concern on your face somehow made me trust you and I told you about the Jocks, what they had said and done and you said that you didn't think I was any of those things.
"I was so shocked that someone was showing me so much kindness that I freaked out and ran away because I suddenly believed that you were being nice to me with motives to throw it back in my face later. You followed me outside to where I had run off to and you caught up to me and grabbed my arm and told me stop and that I could trust you and to prove that you started telling me about you, how you had really bad depression. You told me that your brother Gerard did too, but he was suicidal and had a drinking problem. You told me that you knew what I was going through and that you wanted to help me and that I could trust you.
"I sat down, and you sat with me and asked for name, I told you and you told me yours. We talked for ages about our lives and our interests. When you asked if I wanted to stay at your house for a couple of hours I said yes and then I met Gerard who wasn't drunk at the time, but he looked like shit, he looked so tired and sad, and he looked at me with interest and said that you hadn't had a friend over in a long time. You led me up to your room and Gee came too. We talked about everything we could think of until I said I had to go. And when I was walking down your driveway you called out-"
"See you tomorrow." Mikey finished for me. I looked at him in the rear view, he looked surprised at what he had said and he looked straight at me in the rear view. "You said that your name was Frank and then you asked me what kind of music I liked. Then you asked me if I played, and I nodded and said Bass." Then his eyebrows knitted together and once again he looked confused.
"Hey Mikey what is your full name? I asked him, testing to see if he would respond to his name and seeing if he could remember all of it.
He thought for a moment. Test one, check.
"Michael." He said slowly.
"Middle name and last name." I said to him, hope filling my voice.
He pronounced each part slowly, his voice just a whisper. "Michael James Way."
