We Were Born to Lose

Gracie seems to do everything wrong, unlike her flawless sister Olivia who didn't have an imperfect bone in her body. The only time her parents even spoke to her was to yell at her and make her do more stuff for their darling Olivia. Probably the only person who kept her sane was Mikey Way. She was his babysitter and he was her world. That was until Gracie met Parker. Parker was amazing in every way and was one of the first people to truly care about her. This made it just too easy for Gracie for him...
I walked out of the house to our familiar neat front yard. My dad was obsessed with making sure our yard was the best on the street. He had a thing for outdoing the neighbors in just about everything. He would probably spend all day fixing it after the terrible showers today. I shoulder my backpack and look around for an umbrella. I spot my sister's old polka-dot umbrella and grab it. If I wasted anymore time I would be late to Mikey's house and that would make his mom late too. I open the umbrella and run down the street. I hated making people have to wait on me. When I finally make it to Mikey's I run in without knocking. They were like my second family and never really minded me frequent visits to get away from my own parents. As soon as I walk in Mikey's mom run out the door in fancy clothes. I'm sure she had another party to attend. Mikey was criss-cross-applesauce in front of the TV watching Pokémon. "Hey Mikes." I say and ruffle his hair. I set my bag and umbrella by the couch and sit down with Mikey. "Hey Gracie." He says with a toothy smile. A guy about my age who was tall and lanky with long black hair runs in and rushes to the fridge, He was wearing a iron maiden t-shirt with black skinny jeans and converse. His hair was all in his face and he looked extremely flustered. "Mikey who's this?" I ask. "Oh that's Gerard, my brother.""What?" How can Mikey have a brother I never knew about? "Well he usually lives with Daddy but now he lives here!" Mikey says without looking away from the TV. Gerard turns to look at us so I stand up and hold out my hand. "Hi I'm Gracie." I say. He shakes my hand awkwardly. "I know. You're all Mikey ever talks about. He never mentioned you were pretty." "Oh well thanks." I say as politely as I can. "Why did you run in like that?" I ask. He glances at the door. "Oh um I might've provoked the wrong crowd." He says and runs down the hallway. I decide not to worry about it. I grab two juice boxes and sit back down with Mikey. "He called you pretty." Mikey says. "Yes he did." I say. "Are you gonna date?" "Mikey you know I'm dating Parker remember." Mikey wrinkles his nose. "I like Gerard better." I laugh, "Well Gerard's pretty cool too."
