Clearwater [Mikey Way]

I walk and dump my stuff on the bottom bunk in silence while a taller guy eyes me through glasses sitting on the end of his nose.

I try to ignore him but he just gets on my nerves after a while.

"Can I help you?" I snap at him.

He looks a little surprised at my outburst but manages to stay composed.

"You're the one that scared Taylor out of her wits, aren't you?" He asks, looking unamused.
Very unamused.

"In the fucking flesh." I say smugly and he glares

"You terrified my girlfriend so much she was crying behind a tree for an hour. I only just got back from trying to calm her down." he spits and I shrug.

"She was saying I stabbed my brother." I say

"She said you shot your brother." he says and I roll my eyes

"Close enough." I say and put my hands behind my head, leaning on the wall in my bunk.

He just hangs over the side of his, his hair falling over his eyes and his grey knit cap nearly falling off.

"Let the insults begin" I mutter to myself then look back up at him, getting caught up in his glare.

"Can I help you?" I snap again

"Why did you scare my girlfriend like that?" He asks and I snicker.

"That blonde bitch was Your girlfriend?" I ask in utter disbelief.

It's not that he couldn’t get a girl.
He's actually pretty cute.
It's the fact that the Blondie that was trying to convince everyone I was a murderer, with a pink lipstick covered smirk.

Which begs the question, why the fuck is she wearing makeup out here?!
Actually, I don’t want to know.

He gives me an icy glare.

"Yeah. Why is that so hard to believe?" he asks and I raise an eyebrow at him, his expression not changing at all.

Maybe I should just give him the watered down version.

HAHAHAHAHA FUCK NO.

"Because she's a fake blonde slut who was trying to make ME the bad guy." I say simply and he glares even more.

"Well, you're not so nice yourself. You're a bitchy little criminal who thinks she's better than everyone else, therefore giving her the right to terrorize people. You're a fucking piece of work." He says and lays back on his bed.

That's where I draw the line.

Bitchy I'm okay with. But criminal…
No. fuck you.

I get off my bed and stand far enough away for him to see me, glaring at him coldly.

"Come down here and say that to my face, asshole." I snap and he looks at me almost like he wasn’t expecting me to do anything.

"Why? It's not like you'll hit be or something." He says and I clench my fists in rage and ran, jumping off the foot I had put on my bed and pulling myself up onto his bed before punching him in the jaw.

He curses and I punch him in the guts too before jumping off.

He curls up, groaning in pain and looking at me.

"What the fuck…?" he groans and I smirk.

"I'll tell you the same thing I did to your little slut of a girlfriend. Never cross me. But in your case, stay out of my way all together." I spit and glare at him.

He just looks at me, almost begging me for some kind of mercy.


"What's your name?" He says, sounding a little less winded.

"Missy. You?" I say coldly.

"Mi… Mikey." He says slowly.

I nod.

"Whatever Mikey. Just stay the fuck out of my way." I say then walk out, slamming the door.

***

"He's a fucking prick!" I say to Sammi, sitting with her and her roommate, who I'm now getting a glare from.

Oh wait.
That's his brother.

"No offence. But I may have just punched your brother in the jaw, Gerard." I say, earning another glare.

Sammi just chuckles and shakes her head at us.

Gerard suddenly stands up and hops of his bunk.

"I'm gonna go check on the poor kid." He says and walks out.

"Well fuck you too." I mutter as he leaves and crawl onto the bed where he was before, laying with half my body hanging off the side upside down.

Sammi sits on the floor in front of me and sighs.

"Can I tell you something, well, show you?" she asks and I nod.

"Yeah. Sure." I say and she sighs, pulling out her phone.

I gasp.

"You're kidding." I say and she shakes her head.

"100% real." She says "I took it when I caught Taylor and Shaun behind the boat shed. The bitch swallowed his cock faster than you got into a fight with Mikey." She says and I chuckle slightly, earning a glare.

"Sorry. I just find that funny." I say and she nods.

"I've been wanting to show Mikey for a while now but, believe it or not, he's totally into her and she pretends to be but as you can see…" She trails off and I nod.

"Yeah. Hey, can you send me that pic?" I ask and she looks at me funny.

"Why?" She asks and I shrug.

"I dunno. So I can fap to it at midnight?" I say and she pisses herself laughing.

"O-Okay. Give me your phone." She says, still giggling.

I hand her my old beat up phone and she puts her number in before sending me the pic.

I give her a little two-finger salute and look at it.

"That's an amazing angle." I say, giggling slightly. "Her ass looks great."

She rolls her eyes and looks at me.

"Please tell me you're not going to tell him." she says seriously and I nod.

"I swear. I think It'll just be handy to have a copy." I tell her and she gives me a WTF look. "Why?"

I chuckle and smirk.

"You never know when you might need something like this."

***

"Hey, some of the guys and I are heading down to the lake tonight. Do you maybe wanna come?" Sammi asks as I'm leaving.

I smile and nod. "Sure."

She grins "Awesome. Mikey'll be going so just follow him."

I give her an "Are You Fucking Kidding Me?" look.

She shakes her head. "Come on. Mikey can't stay mad at anyone for long. Please just try and figure your shit out. I mean, you'll be rooming with him for three months so try and make it work." she says pleadingly.

I sigh and nod. "Fine."

She smiles and hugs me. "Awesome. I'll see you tonight."

***

As soon as I walk back into the cabin, I can hear Mikey in the bathroom cursing.

Well, my mind didn’t exactly take that in a very clean way.

The door's open so I walk over to look in and see him prodding his bruised cheek.

I roll my eyes at him and sigh.

He looks over. "What?" He asks.

I shrug and frown slightly. "I'm sorry I punched you." I say

No way am I saying I'm sorry for what I said about Taylor.

He shrugs and keeps poking the bruise I left. "I'm sorry I called you a criminal. I shouldn’t have said that. They're just rumours." he says, looking at me in the mirror.

I shake my head. "I don’t have a record but that's the general summary of me." I say with a sigh "That's just the way it is."

He turns and smiled slightly at me. "Can we just start over?"

I smile slightly and nod "Sure."

I'm caught slightly off guard when he pulls me into a quick hug and I blush slightly.

He just smiles at me.

I shake my head quickly and look away. "Ummm, Sammi said I was invited to the lake tonight."

Mikey smiled a little "What an honour. It took me months to get an invite." He said and I shrug.

"We've been here a day." I say and he chuckles.

"This isn't my first time here." He says and I make an "Oh" face.

"So, what happens?" I ask and he smirks slightly.

"You'll find out." He says and walks back to his bunk.

I want to tell him.
Like, so bad.
I feel like he just deserves to know he's being cheated on.
But from what I've heard, that would kill the poor bastard.

What I don’t get Is why I care in the first place.
