Aww Pickles, My Neighbor is A Hottie

***Iris' POV***

**A week later***

I sat in bed cuddling with Ashton and Quibbles. They snuggled up to me and it seemed that they were the only ones who would. Gerard was always gone working on music, but sometimes I didn't think he was telling the truth. I trusted Gerard, but it was just to much. He was always at the office or whatever. I sighed and pulled Quibbles closer to me.

"Promise me you guys will always love me," I said out loud. Quibbles whimpered with Ashton doing the same one. I grabbed my Ipod and played some Escape The Fate. The old Escape The Fate though. The one with Ronnie Radke in it. I had been listening them for the longest time.

" Situations are irrelevant now.

She loves the way that I tease,

I love the way that she breathes" I lightly sung to myself. I loved this song more then any of the others because I could relate to it. I could relate to all music at some point because music was amazing. I could relate to My Chemical Romance all to much sometimes. I didn't want to think about that.

"Hello," someone whispered. I could feel my heart stop. I was getting robbed, shit. No. Gerard would hate me. Wait. Why would a robber say hello?

"Hello," I almost asked. Mikey popped his head into the room. I sighed in relief and he laughed.

"You thought I was robbing you, didn't you?" He grinned at me. I rolled my eyes and shoved it off. I tapped the dogs to motion them to get off. I invited Mikey to lay on the bed. It wasn't a bad thing to do considering he was one of my best friends. He sat down next to me.

"Whacha need?" I sat up a little more kind of curios.

"Looking for Gerard," He sighed. Wait. Gerard was at practice.

"Gerard said you guys were practicing. Did he not tell you?" I needed some reassurance that he wasn't lying to me.

"No, and the others are chilling at home. Frank and Ray both said that they were hanging out at home. They are always hanging out, weird right?" Mikey made a thinking face. I felt a small tear rolling down my face. Why was I overreacting? What if Gerard was actually doing something super sweet, but didn't want to me? Because that super sweet thing would be for someone else.

"Iris?" Mikey lightly grabbed my shoulder.

"I'm sorry Mikey. You didn't do anything, I am just weak." I looked down so Mikey didn't see my running mascara. It’s not like I cared to much, but I didn’t like anyone seeing me cry.

“Do you need me to go look for him?” Mikey rubbed my back. I nodded and jumped into his arms. I really needed a hug right now and Mikey always gave the best hugs. He hugged my tightly and started to walk out of the room.

“Mikey,” I stopped him, “thanks.” I gave him a very warm smile. He smiled back and headed out.

***Mikey’s POV***

I rushed to my car already knowing where Gerard would be. I could feel the anger rising up inside of me. He shouldn’t have left Iris alone and he shouldn’t have gone where he did. I knew him way to well. I rushed right off to Karie’s house. He was there and I knew it. I don’t care if he was visiting Bryan or just dropping in to say hi, he didn’t love her anymore. He told me that and I was going to stop him at all costs. He was not going to love Karie because he HAD to love Iris. There was no catch. If he didn’t love Iris, I might fall in love with her. Again. The truth was, I loved Iris so much and when we got back in contact I thought I might fall in love with her. I can’t though. I can’t risk another heart break. I set Gerard up with her for his happiness and my safety.

I would never have a broken heart again.
