Like Ghosts In The Sun
Chapter 5
School's over. Ugh, finally. That took like four whole chapters. Too long, man. Too long.
I grab my bag from my locker and start walking home. I can hear footsteps behind me. I turn around and see Gerard and Mikey staring at me and grinning.
"Hey, what's up?" I ask.
"Nooothing..." they say together, still grinning. They're looking kinda suspicious. They look at each other, then they grab me and lift me off the ground and begin running down the road.
"WHAT THE FUCK? PUT ME DOWN!" I yell. They just laugh and continue running. They sprint through the door of a house (which I'm pretty sure is theirs, I have no idea). A guy with black hair is sitting on the couch.
"What the fuck?" shouts the guy.
"FRANK, OPEN THE BACK DOOR!" shouts Gerard.
"Oh!" replies the guy who is, apparently, Frank. He sprints over to the back door and opens it. Gerard and Mikey run through into the backyard, still carrying me.
"PUT ME DOWN!" I scream. They stop, then Mikey grabs my feet and Gerard grabs my arms. Then they start swinging me.
"NONONONO STOP!" I yell.
"ONE! TWO! THREE!" they all shout. Then I am thrown straight into their swimming pool. I resurface and see Mikey, Frank and Gerard all on the ground, laughing their asses off.
"What the fuck was that all about?" I say, half-laughing. They don't answer. They're laughing too hard. Once they all stop laughing, Gerard goes inside and brings me a towel. I climb out of the pool and I wrap the towel around myself.
"You guys are crazy." I say.
"We know." they all reply.
"Hey, Frank, when did you get here?" Mikey asks.
"About five hours ago." Frank replies.
"Uh... why?" says Mikey.
"I thought it was a Saturday."
"It's Monday, Frank." I say.
"I'm easily confused." says Frank.
"Uh huh." says Mikey.
"Wait." says Frank, pointing towards me. "Who the hell are you?"
"Anita." I say.
"And how did you know my name?"
"You're world famous, Frankie. Didn't you know?" says Mikey.
We chat for a while, then we head back inside and Gerard makes us all coffee and orders a couple of pizzas. The local pizza place does vegan pizza, and, according to Frank, it's "the best thing to ever happen to the earth ever". Mikey gets me an All-American Rejects t-shirt and a pair of old skinny jeans from his room and I go into the bathroom and change out of my damp clothes. When I emerge, the guys are all sitting on the ground, surrounded by pizza boxes and mugs of black coffee. All four boxes of pizza are gone in less than five minutes.
"Where did all the pizza go?" asks Frank.
"You ate it all, Frank. You're a fucking vacuum." says Gerard. Frank raises his middle finger at Gerard.
"Hey, where are your parents?" I ask Mikey.
"I dunno. Business trip, I think." he replies.
"They're in New York, fucktard." Gerard says to Mikey.
"Oh. Yeah, I knew it was some place like that."
After that, we watch The Nightmare Before Christmas, then we crash on the couch and read comics for an hour or so. I glance at the clock on the wall. It's already 7:30. I check my phone and see a text from my mother, asking where I am. I quickly text her back.
'At a friends place, back whenever.'
Mum replies with 'K just try not to die'. God, she's weird.
We decide to watch another movie. We put in Nightmare on Elm Street, and we collapse back on the couch. About halfway through the movie, I look over at Frank, who had fallen asleep on the ground.
"Ooh, Freddie's gonna get Frank!" I whisper to Mikey.
"Gerard too!" he whispers back. We laugh quietly, then we return our attention to the movie. After a while, Mikey wraps his arm around me and I rest my head on his shoulder. We sit like that until the end of the film.
"AWW!" yells Frank. I look up. He's awake, staring at me and Mikey and smiling. I quickly sit up and Mikey pulls his arm away.
"What?" groans Gerard sleepily.
"MIKEY AND ANITA!" shouts Frank excitedly.
"WHAT?" yells Gerard. He's gone into fangirl mode too. Oh, great.
This conversation goes on for a while. Then Frank falls asleep on the floor again, and Gerard falls asleep next to him. I lay down on the couch and close my eyes. About a minute later, a blanket is pulled over me and a pillow is placed gently underneath my head.
"Night, Anita." whispers Mikey. Then he kisses me gently on the forehead.
I could get used to this.
