In The Mourning
Part Twenty-One
Two weeks had passed since the last time I saw Frank. The flowers from he kept on coming in but I asked Beatrice to throw away those cards and the little notes attached to it. I did not tell my parents about Frank, I just told them that he is not in town and changed the topic. I was missing him like crazy but Frank is having a baby with someone else. It didn't feel right to be with him. Not with another woman's baby on the way. I would rather be a part of his past than be in a future with his child.
I was at Rebecca's grave when I saw Mikey at his grandma's grave.
"Hey Mikey, how long have you been here?", I asked.
"Just got here.. I saw your car just now. I didn't think you want to talk to any of us", Mikey slowly said.
"Nonsense.. I broke up with Frank. Not with you guys. How are you and how are the rest of the guys?", I wanted to ask about Frank but I stopped myself.
"Leaving for the next tour in a week time for a month and then we're back for good. Rest for few months before writing new stuff for the new album. We miss you, B"
"Let's talk over coffee"
Mikey agreed to have coffee with me at Costa. We drove separately and agreed to meet at the coffee place. I arrived ten minutes later than Mikey and when I arrived, there were already drinks and food on the table.
"Caramel frappucino and cold turkey sandwich for the lady", he said while picking up my plate.
I smiled and said, "You always get things right. Gerard should be grateful to have someone as observant as you!"
"Speaking of Gerard.. He's coming here. Just him", Mikey said.
We didn't have to wait for long until Gerard sat beside me and gave me a great big hug. One thing that I absolutely love about Gerard, he gives great hugs and he is very protective of people around him. Especially Mikey.
"How are you, Manhattan?", Gerard asked.
"Classes are okay.. Rebecca's Leukemia Foundation is involved with another project. You guys really made a huge impact", I said.
"Anything for her, B", Mikey replied.
"Now... What I really wanted to ask was.. How are you and Frank?"
That's another thing I love about Gerard, he is straight-forward like that. He feels that we don't need to delay the topic. So he just asks.
I groaned and both of them chuckled at the same time.
"Things are over, guys. He already have a baby on the way.. I am not going to stand there and watch him be with Luna", I replied.
"That Luna is a bitch, ya know?", Gerard said as he lit his cigarette.
"He even tried to get into Mikey's pants", Gerard added.
I dropped my jaw and looked at Mikey, "YOU TOO?!"
"THAT WAS ONE TIME, GERARD! But I wasn't THAT drunk to actually sleep with her"
"Why the hell now.. I saw her that night.. She's hot.. No wonder she got into Frank's pants", I replied.
"Lesson for Manhattan.. hey it rhymed.. Anyways, we.. The Way's boys, we were taught that it's on the inside that counts. It doesn't matter how short your skirt is or how thick your make up is. If you're pretty on the outside but ugly in the inside.. We won't date you. You have a good heart, B.", Gerard said.
"I just hope one day you will find some grace to forgive Frank. He screwed up but he loves you. He hasn't stopped crying since the day you left.", Gerard continued.
"What's the deal between him and Luna.. and the baby?", Mikey asked.
"From what I heard from Bob.. Frank didn't even go to see Luna. Luna has been begging to see him but he just mopes around the house. Especially our house.. Mikey stopped talking to him since he found out about Luna", Gerard replied.
"Whatever, Gerard. I am just done with Frank Iero.", I simply replied.
We decided to drop Frank Iero subject after that and started talking about their upcoming tour. From what they told me, this would be their last leg tour and then they will return to New Jersey and start recording new songs. We talked about two hours before saying goodbye to each other.
When I got home, I found roughly around 12 bouquets of flowers at my porch.
"I am sorry, Miss Blair. I was about to get rid of it", Beatrice said.
"It's fine, Beatrice. Just put those in my room. The room can use some fresh flowers", I replied.
