Worse Than Nicotine

~Gerard's POV~
My walk home from Frank's house was nice and quiet, even if I didn't want to leave his house, I had to leave because my mom and brother would be so worried.

On the way, I wondered if he went to the same high school as me. If he didn't, it made me upset because he'd be the first friend I'd actually have. A smile worked its way onto my lips as I walked up the steps to my house.

When I opened the door, the first thing I met was a worried mother and younger brother.
"Gerard! You had us so worried!" My mom said walking over and hugging me tightly, a bear hug.
"Mom, I was just at a friends house. Don't wor-" I got cut off with my mom saying happily, "You made a friend?! You should've invited them over for dinner, Gerard!" I just sighed and looked down, shaking my head. "Maybe next time, ma." I mumbled leaving and ruffling my brothers hair.

"Hey! Gerard!" He said with a big grin as he moved his hair back in place. I grinned back at him before leaving to my room.

When I walked inside, my room looked like a mess with clothes and drawings everywhere on the floor. "I guess since it's still early I'll clean it all up." I said to myself as I bent down and began to pick up all the clothes at first.

At first, my body was fine, but no. It decided to backfire on me as soon as I finished up barely the clothes. All that was left was the drawings, and those, I couldn't have them getting stepped on or anything.
After a while I gave in and exited my room, leaving to the kitchen where my brother Mikey was making a fresh batch of coffee. I smiled at him and walked over, reaching into one of the cabinets and taking a couple of pain killers, dry. I went over to Mikey and grabbed his mug, taking a sip. "Hey. That was mine.." He frowned as I did so. "Was. Past tense little brother." I said simply, claiming the coffee as mine as I took another sip. God, did coffee taste heavenly. It is probably one of the most amazing things in the world besides art, music, Frank, fo- Wait. What..?

Did I just think of Frank in a way I'm not supposed to? What the hell is wrong with me?!

I just sighed and began to walk back to my room. "See ya later, Mikes." I said softly before slipping back into the light lit up room. I made sure to set my mug down carefully, not wanting it to spill or anything.

I began to pick up my drawings that scattered the ground and put them in a nice pile on my desk. I turned back around for my coffee, then turned back to look at the drawing on the top of the stack. "Mother War.." I said softly, looking into the dark pits where her eyes were supposed to be and looked down at the old Victorian dress she wore with pride. She looked beautiful. Even if she was a drawing and had on a gas mask so her face wouldn't show, but this was inspiration to me. I just smiled and set her back down so I could change into my pajamas.

I slipped on some girly pajama pants because they're just so comfortable to sleep in, and took off my shirt, setting on the edge of the bed.

My eyes closed for a second, but what popped up in my head scared me a bit, so I opened my eyes. It was Frank. I shook my head and laid down, taking the covers over me and curling up into a ball.

My thoughts were confusing me as to why I was suddenly thinking about Frank. I sighed softly and stretched out on the mattress, staring up at the white ceiling. I didn't think I would be seeing someone like this again in my eyes. I stood up off the bed and got up, grabbing a towel and some boxers. I left my room and wondered into the bathroom. I usually don't take a shower that often, but mostly I don't wash my hair. So today's washing my hair only meant my mind was getting confused than most days, or that I was mad or depressed or something. But I was just really confused now.

Once the water was running hot, I stepped into the streaming of hot water and began to massage my head with soap in it. It felt really nice and refreshing, washing my and all. So when I was done, I stayed in awhile longer until the water became cold, letting me know it was time to get out and go back into reality.
By the time I was out, Mikey and my mom were already sound asleep in the dark household. I decided to do the same and put my pajama pants on, getting in bed and trying to get comfortable.

After a while, I finally fell asleep and drifted off into a unknown world..
