Aww Pickles, My Neighbor is A Hottie

***Gerard's POV***

I looked around for a smaller body, but there was nothing. This is the part where you start to freak out right? No. You have to stay calm and keep walking in the direction where Bryan was walking. I walked straight not knowing exactly where to see nothing. Where the fuck could he have gone? What if he was kidnapped? No way. He was not kidnapped. Never in a thousand years would I forgive myself, let alone Karie forgiving me, if he was kidnapped. I decided to get some help. I looked around for some authority, but nothing. Fuck. Why when you needed authority no one was there? Where else would have Bryan gone? Maybe to the ice skating rink. I ran over there and peered over the side. Nothing. Just a bunch of couples skating around.

"You need help with something?" Someone grabbed my shoulder and turned me around. I was standing in front of one of the employees or that's what I assumed from their outfit.

"Do you think you can ring in a police man or something?" I stumbled over my words with worry overtaking my tone. The man stared at me for a second then took our his beeper and pressed a few buttons.

"Don't let this be a joke." He pointed his finger at me and walked off. I stood in the same place with hope in my thoughts. Can't think bad thoughts. He probably went to go see the tree and got caught up with some friend of his. Or maybe there was a cute girl and now he is talking to her.

"Excuse me. Someone beeped us here." The police threw me out of my train of thought. I frowned, but sighed in relief.

"Yes. I asked an employee to do so. I lost my little cousin. His name is Bryan. He ran off while I was talking to a friend. I can't find him." I bit my lip so I wouldn't cry. No, no, no. No crying Gerard. The police nodded.

"What's his last name." He asked me. I gulped. I had no fucking clue. I didn't think Karie did either. We didn't exactly worry about that while taking care of him. He knew my last name was Way so if I said Way maybe he would no it was him.

"Bryan Way." I nodded as I said that. He gave me a fake smile and went off to the stage. I followed closely behind him as he climbed on the stage. He hit the microphone with his hand to get everyone's attention. I was shaking from fear. Please Bryan. Please be out there. Don't let me go home without my little bestie.

"Bryan Way! Will Bryan Way come up here?" The police announced. A lot of heads turned in confusion. I looked around for a little boy to come up. Nothing. Oh yay. I needed to give it time. i sat on the edge of the stage.

"I have to go deal with something. Make another announcement in ten minutes. If he doesn't come then I'm sorry bub." The police headed off to deal with other issue. I started to tap my hand rapidly in worry. What if I actually lost Bryan? What if he did get kidnapped? No Gerard. He didn't get kidnapped. He was alive and happy and was going to run into my arms.

"Bryan! Bryan Way will you please come to the stage." It had been ten minutes since the police left and I had to say something. Faces turned again with worry and confusion. Why were they worried? Whatever. I sat back down on the edge and looked.

"Gerard!" I turned to see Bryan running towards me. I opened my arms to capture him in my embrace. I held him super close to me.

"Don't you ever run off again Bryan! You worried me." I said into the embrace. He nodded and kept hugging me.

"Gerard, your brother is really nice!" Bryan said as we broke the embrace.

"What?" I questioned him. I looked up to see Mikey and some girl with him. Ew.

"Mikey!" I stood up and hugged him. He hugged me back.

"He found me." Bryan grabbed my leg and pulled on it. I looked down and then at Mikey.

"You found him..." I whispered. Mikey smiled and nodded. I hugged him tighter.

"Thank you Mike!" I held him close to me. I looked up to see the girl giving me a look.

"Can we talk?" I pulled Mikey to the side.

"I don't like her." I pointed at the girl as soon as we were out of hearing distance.

"Why? You don't even know." Mikey fought back.

"I just don't get a good vibe around her." I shifted my weight.

"Well, that sucks Gerard. I really like her." He crossed his arms and had his normal straight face. I sighed.

"Look, I'm your older brother and I just want you to be happy. I feel like she will hurt you one day. Mikey trust me." I put my hand on his shoulder. He pulled away.

"Don't you dare say shit to me. You're crushing on some girl who bullied the shit out of you in high school. She hurt you and hurt you and hurt you. You think I didn't see you come home crying every day. You would go into your room and just sit there and draw. And draw. And draw." Mike pushed me back. I glared at him.

"Some of us don't hold grudges." I said between my teeth. Mike stormed off. I grabbed Bryan's hand.

"Where are we going?" Bryan looked up at me.

"Home."

Notes

A/N- Sorry for a shitty ending. Anywhore this chapter was to show that Mike doesn't like Karie. Hope you like.
