Guitar Picks and Paper Cartoons

After school I meet up with Gerard but Mikey was no where to be seen.

"Where's Mikey?" I asked as I meet Gerard at the south end of the school. We still had not discussed what transpired the other night. I was just happy that it was Friday and things were getting better. I still really missed my sister but who wouldn't?

"Umm he's, well he had to go help out with a project after school so he's not walking home with us." Gerard was now nervously taping his toe. A little confused I just began to walk the normal way back toward Gerard's. He followed a little more rushed than normal. In fact everything about him wasn't normal.

We got to his house and went downstairs like normal. I sat down on the couch and then the oddest thing occurred Gerard sat next to me. He always sat on the chair never right next to me. In fact in all of my memory I can not recall him ever sitting next to me except if we ate at a table. I looked around the room for a second and then at the tv. I decided to not respond to the situation and I reached for the remote. Gerard put his arm around the back of the couch and waited for me to settle on a show. I decided on the Simpsons and we watch probably about 15 minuets of it.

The next thing I knew Gerard way leaning in for a kiss. I had no idea what to do so I did the only thing that I could think of which was nothing. At least it was nothing at first. My eyes began to shut and I have no idea why but they did. My lips which were already partially open remained that way. Gerard's lips collided with mine and my lips closed down as his did. In that moment I felt finally okay and not so alone as I had been feeling all week.

At the last minute I decided I didn't want to lose that feeling so I did the only thing I could think of except that I wasn't really thinking. As his body began to move away from mine, I reached up and gently grabbed his shirt. I toughed ever so slightly and we began to kiss again. This was it that feeling of going nowhere. I wasn't really happy it was happening, I was just there and not in my head. We kissed in this awkward position for a little while and then Gerard rapped his arm around me. He gently pushed toward me intending to have me lay down. It's just one of those feelings.

Then the door opened and Mikey's steps could be heard. We both hurried apart and sat as if nothing had happened. I'm pretty sure anyone in there right mind would have known that not to be true.

“Hey Mikey,” I said like I always did. Mikey responded with the usual and I looked at Gerard who glared at Mikey.

“Gerard why are you sitting on the couch you never sit on the couch.” And then that's when I realized that Gerard Way had just planted a move on me. He planned the entire thing out. I was starting to get upset and I had no idea why.

“Because Mikey I felt like change. Why are you home early I thought you were doing stuff after school?” Gerard's words brought me back to reality. What the hell was I doing? What the hell was he doing?

“Gerard Mikey is right you never sit on the couch so go away,” I almost yelled. I had no idea what was going through my head. Gerard looked at me taken aback and proceeded to do as I asked.

“Ha Burn,” Mikey laughed. The rest of the night was just filled with weird tension so I opted to not stay for dinner and I went home.

The rest of the night I stayed in my room and listened to music and did homework. Anything really that would keep my mind off of Gerard.
