Famous Last Words

Lyra POV I knew it. I'm a nuisance. I don't know why I didn't just run away in the dark last night. Maybe I should. I hear his words echoing in my head. 'I know she's a lot to take care of. I know shes a lot to take care of. I know she's a lot to take care of.' I cover my ears, but the voice is only in my head. So I manage to shut it out, but only just. Even with Ray and Frank hugging me at both sides, glaring at Mikey as he walks out the door, I cant hold the tears back like I usually can. As they fall down the side of my face, I swallow hard. Just wanting to leave. I can see the anger and hatred on his face increasing, as he stares at the now closed door. I don't know why I mean that much to him, like a sister, I guess? I've only been here a couple of days. But with Mikey... I know he's right. I know I'm a mental case, I've heard it many times before. He's not the first to say it. Gerard clenches his fists, not looking away from the door. I stop my tears from falling. I don't want to, but it's better than losing it again. By now Gerard's expression is pure rage. Frank speaks up. "So you hate him?" Gerard still doesn't look away from the door. "Of course not, he's my brother. I hate what he's done. " and as soon as the words finish leaving his mouth, he charges out the door, and down the stairs, we follow him outside the building until he reaches Mikey and roughly pulls him around to face him. "Don't you ever talk about her like that again, you hear me?" Mikey seems just as pissed off. His hands shaking with anger. "Don't pull me like that! Not in the fucking mood." Ray gets in between them. "Come on, guys, don't do anything you'll regret later." "Shut up!" They both shouted in unison, their anger taking hold. He walks back, out of their way with his hands help up in defense. Frank tenses behind me. "You think you can go around helping every stray dog you find?" I step up to Mikey, properly pissed off. "I am NOT a stray fucking dog!" he pushes me onto the ground when I finish. I sigh angrily and look up, but I regret looking up. Because when I do look up, I see Gerard throw the first punch.
