"What'd he do now"?" Mikey sighed.

"He’s dating my sister." Frank spat.

"Oh. Great. He's not that bad dude."

"I don't like him!"

"Ow! Scream a little louder into my ear why don't you!" Mikey laughed slightly. "Just calm down Frankie."

"I hate your brother." Frank hissed.

"Why?"

"There's something about him. I don't know. He's fucked up I can tell."

"Watch it dude that's my brother." Mikey’s tone became defensive.

Frank sighed "Fine. Sorry. What's his issue dude?"

There's was a long pause before Mikey’s voice was heard on the other line.

"I-I don't think it’s a great idea for me to be talking about think." His voice became soft and shaken. His change in tone started to make Frank become worried.

"What's wrong Mikey? You can talk to me about stuff." Frank tried to come off as happier trying to bring Mikey back to a better mood.

"It’s just...well...Gee had a pretty shity child hood...and it kinda mess him up."

"What do you mean what happen." Frank continued to push Mikey further.

".....My mom and dad use to work a lot when we were younger...and...well...they would call our neighbor Sam to watch us a lot...I was only 4...Gee was 8...and Sam would always lock me in my bed room for hours at a time and turn my parents stereo up really loud so I couldn't hear anything.

I was always so confused to why he didn't like me. I always thought he liked Gee more than me cause he would let him stay in the living room...but after Sam would go home there were days gee would run up into my room crying.

I never understood what was wrong. He would just sit in the corner of my room and cry until my parents got home. Then he would wipe away his tears and pretend like everything was fine. But it wasn't fine. I could tell."

Mikey wiped away the tears that was forming in his eyes, determine to not let them pour over.
"My mom use to find bruises all over Gees back and scrapes on his knees. Whenever she would ask him what happen he would just say he fell off his bike or his friend pushed him to hard on the swing during recess and that everything was ok. She knew he wasn't telling the truth but prying never worked with Gerard.

"Then there was that day I would never forget. Sam just happens to not close my bed room door all the way. And being the curious little child I was I snuck out of my room and sat at the top of the stairs...and then I saw him...h-he...was..." Mikey’s voice cracked as he was no longer able to hold back the tears. "He was raping my brother! And the worst part was that Gee became so numb to it he wasn't even crying anymore! He just waited it out! He had blood dripping from his nose and palms from digging her finger nails into his hands!" He tried to calm down scared someone else in the house might hear him.

"Gee always told me never to tell because he was scared Sam would hurt him more if mom and dad found out. And I didn't want to be responsible for the next time he hurt him so I kept my mouth shut.

After a few years passed and Gee was 11 Sam used to con my parents into letting Gee spend the night at his house so they could have the whole night out together. He would leave me home alone and force Gerard across the street to his dungeon. I never found out exactly what happen over there. All I know is that is was worse then what he would do to him at home.

Sam eventually moved to Michigan for his job and we never saw him again, but Gee still would wake up screaming. He started cutting really bad. And now he's so messed up whenever he starts dating a girl he gets scared they're gonna hurt him or leave him so he gets really protective over them. He only does it because he scared to be alone and he's trying to fill a void. But his relationships always end badly because girls can't take the suffocating and that just makes it harder on him. He's got bad anger issues. And he's on a lot of meds. I know you may think he's weird but he's been through a lot and it’s not his fault he's this way. And ever since he met your sister he's been the most happy and normal I've seen him in a while. She's good for him Frank." Mikey’s stared down at his feet waiting for his friends response to his horror story.

".....I......just.....oh my god.....I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply anything..." Frank shifted on his bed and buried his face in his pillow now feeling like shit.

"Yeah. No one knows. And I'd like if you kept it that way. Don't tell your sister. It'll just scare her off and leave him heartbroken and more screwed up."

"I won't say anything I promise. I'll see you later Mikey."

"Yeah I'll see you later dude."

".........tell your brother I said hi..." Frank chewed on his lip ring.
Mikey smiled slightly, "Will do." He said before hanging up.
