We Don't Fight Fair
Chapter Twenty-Four
I didn't want to follow Mikey. I just felt like I would be invading his privacy. So I didn't. I fell back on the couch again and looked around for something that would numb me. I turned on the T.V. nothing was on, so I flicked it off again. I was so restless and tired at the same time. I felt myself beginning to nod off when there was a knock at the door. Thank God Mikey was back, I had so many questions. I unlocked it and opened the door. "Frank? Where's Mikey?" I asked, kind of scared.
"Oh, he went to Rachel's house. Apparently, she wanted to talk to him." He said sadly. I slapped him across the face.
He recoiled slowly, but didn't fight back. He knew he deserved that one. "So. Tell me Frank. What brings you here?" I snarled."I came to explain." He said, holding his face where I struck him. "You literally have five minutes." I told him. "Go."
"I was sleeping when I heard someone knock. I thought it was you so I came downstairs. I saw black hair and I thought I knew it was you. So I opened the door and I kissed them, again, thinking that would be something you would like me to do." I fought a smile at this. Because he knew me so well, that would be something I would like.
"And I didn't realize that it was Rachel until I pulled away... sometime later. I didn't want to upset her, so I apologized over and over but she didn't believe that I didn't know it was her. I was stupid, Gee. And I'm so, so sorry." He started to cry.
"Can you tell me why you broke up with me then?" I askd, slightly less mad. "I didn't want to!" He exclaimed quickly, his eyes widening with sincerity. "I just... you know how attractive Rachel is, and at the time I thought it was a good idea, because we've never done that-" Frank immediately clamped a hand over his mouth, and looked extremely guilty when my eyes filled up with tears.
"I wasn't good enough for you?" I questioned quietly. His eyes darted around, trying to cover up his mistake. My heart just cracked. I couldn't take this anymore. Frank tensed up and said, "that's not what I meant." But he did. I wasn't comfortable with anything more intimate than kissing and touching occasionally.
He respected my boundaries, especially after what happened with Dean. But it wasn't enough. I wasn't enough. I never was. Pushing past him, I walked silently to my room. "Gee you're scaring me." I heard Frank below when I was halfway up the stairs. "Don't ever call me that again. Only people who care about me are allowed to use that." He whined and started climbing the stairs after me. "I do care about you, of course I do, I love yo-" I raised my hand to stop him there.
I just couldn't hear that if it wasn't true. "No, it's true Gerard Way, I love you I love you I love you I love you!" He yelled, which tore it for me. I started to cry, and he did too. It was actually quite touching to see him sob and scream "I love you!" And I almost forgave him. But I couldn't. I ran the rest of the way to my room.
After about an hour, Frank finally stopped slipping notes under my door and talking to me. But tjat didn't mean hesl stopped contacting me. Texts every few seconds, and calls every other minute.
Then I heard a light tap on the door and a "it's me! Mikey! "I slumped up and unlocked it. I felt the cool air wash over me and I knew the door had opened. I couldn't see it because I was lying down with my my head buried in the covers of my bed.
"Geeeee." He whispered and shook me. "Gee good news. Well, bad news, but I think it's for the best." I looked at him curiously. "I'm not gonna be a dad." He said, disappointed.
"Aww, Mikes I'm sorry." I said honestly. I wrapped him in a hug, and I gelt him physically relax. I stroked his hair as I felt him start to cry bitterly, and we were just two brothers crying into each other's shoulders.
"But, we have each other. " he said, pulling away to look me in the eyes. Wait a second... does Mikey... no..
could he?
"And," he placed both hands on my shoulders and said gravely,
"I may not be a father. "
"But Frank is."
