The World is Ugly

We walked to his house as I cried.

I had finally calmed down as we reached a dark brown, 2-story house. He led me in and let me sit on the couch. "Yo, Mikey! Got someone I want you to meet!"
Out of the next room, which I assumed was the kitchen, walked a blonde boy. He saw me and smiled. "Aw, bro, you brought a girlfriend home!"
"She's my friend," he retorted, "shut up!"
The blonde hugged me and shook my hand. "I'm Mikey. I'm assuming you've already met Gee if you're here with him right now," he motioned towards Gerard.
"I'm Rose Harley."
"Welcome to the Way household!" I smiled a bit. He seemed sweet. Gerard sat next to me on the couch. "Mikey's my baby brother. And yes, you can call me Gee."
"So your name is Gerard... Way, if I heard him correctly?"
"Yes. Mikey and Gerard Way. Sorry about him assuming you to be my girlfriend. He assumes every time a girl is brought home she's my girlfriend. Probably 'cause it doesn't happen that much." He pulled out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
"You're gonna smoke inside?" I asked.
"Is it a problem? If it is I'll smoke outside."
"No, no. It's fine. Just think it's a bit peculiar." I honestly didn't mind. I liked the smell of smoke.
He took a long drag before asking me, "How old are you?"
"Were you raised in a barn? It's quite rude to ask someone's age!" I said jokingly. "Uh, I'm 16. My birthday is in February. Valentine's Day actually." My birthday was another trait I loved about me.
"17. Birthday was in April."
"FIFTEEN AND MY BIRTHDAY WAS EARLIER THIS MONTH!" yelled Mikey from the kitchen.
"Wanna watch a movie?" Gerard asked.
"I'm up. You can choose the movie." He nodded and picked up the remote. I grabbed my phone and text my mom.
"At a friend's house right now. I wasn't abducted."

After a while, we chose Frozen. He had actually never seen it before, and was kind of scared for me when I could lip sync literally every song. Every. Song. Mikey actually came in during Love is An Open Door to be Hand. His only commentary throughout the movie was, "Hans is a douche," and, "Why did her parents lock her up and tell her she was dangerous if fear was her enemy?"

When the credits rolled, I looked at the car box. It was already 5. I needed to get home. I was packing my stuff when Gerard stopped me. "What are you doing?" he asked.
"Um, getting ready to go home?"
"You're not going anywhere. If they know where you live, it's not safe."
"Gee, I need to go home." I smiled a bit, my voice sounded strange when I said, "Gee," out loud.
"No. You're staying here."
"I need clothes--"
"You can wear mine or Mikey's. But you are not going home."
I sighed and plopped back on the couch. I pulled out my phone and text my mom again.
"Can I stay the night?"
"Have clothes?"
"Yeah I got them before I came over"
"Yes. Just be safe. What's their name?"
"Gerard. He's my classmate."
"Don't get frisky!"
"I won't. Love you."

"My mom thinks I'm gonna have sex with you," I said as I put my phone away.
"Mikey probably thinks the same."
"ONE, I DO NOT. TWO, DINNER IS READY!"
We got up and Gerard led me to the kitchen table. I sat next to him and waited for Mikey to serve us our dinner. He turned around, two plates in hand of...

Pancakes.

"Sorry, it's the only thing I can make with what we have right now." I didn't mind, just find of weird to have pancakes for dinner. I ended up scarfing it down. Then again, I haven't had dinner in the past, what? 2 days?

"UGH. MIKEY. Those were so good," I groaned once I finished. He simply smiled and nodded. I may have only known them for a few hours now, but I was beginning to warm up to my new friends.
