Don't assume

“mikey!” i yelled as soon as i got home.

he was sitting on the couch and looked up at me startled by the yelling.
“what?”

“didn’t you say iero was dating taylor?” i asked sitting down next to him

“yeah i thought so why?”

“just- noting. he said something to me today that pissed me off and i just wanted to make sure they were dating.” i lied. i didn’t want to involve mikey in anything unless i was positive that who ever he gave his virginity to was somehow connected to frank.

“oh. what did he say?” mikey asked.

“it doesn’t matter now.”

————-

the next day at school i received the same harsh glares from frank and nikki.

Ashley was out sick so i was alone in bio which made things about ten times more awkward for me.

“she out with morning sickness?”
frank sneered as soon as i sat down

“hey we’re not like that.” i growled at him

“doesn’t seem that way, i wouldn’t be surprised if there is was a little Costello-Way exploring the world in nine months.”

“cool it iero ashley’s my girlfriend not some toy, i didn’t do anything to you and neither did she so shut up.”

“you don’t fucking get it do you?” he asked
“you ned to stop fucking defending your brother and stop rubbing it in that you have a relationship.”

“Don’t drag mikey into something he’s not apart of and what does ashley matter to you? you’re a faggot!” i yelled at him. i was pissed he was targeting my family, it was uncalled for and he seemed to be the only one that even knew what happened.

he stood up and ran out of class. everyone was now looking at our table
“that was low asshole.” nikki spat at me before walking off to find frank.

i put my head down on the table and sighed. that was pretty low. i know mikey’s come home crying before just because people have called him a faggot and i should’ve known better.

But still, i didn’t go after frank and decided to just let him cool off. The bell rang and i went through the rest of the day confused about what exactly frank was mad at and how it was connected to me.

At the end of the day i was waiting for mikey outside the school so we could walk home but after twenty minutes of waiting and him not showing up i went to look for him.

I’d called him but his phone was off which worried me. I walked through the school looking for him until i heard him screaming instead.

I ran as fast as i could to the gym where the sound of mikey screaming was coming from. When i walked in i saw frank, nikki, and jake surrounding my brother who was pushed against the wall.

i watched as franks fist pulled back
and then slammed into my brothers face. “faggot whore.” he spat at him

“hey!” i screamed running over to them. All three delivered another punch to mikey then frank continued to beat him as the other two ran off.

“get off him!” i screamed shoving frank.

Mikey collapsed into my arms a crying mess clutching to my shirt.

“fuck you iero!” i screamed as frank he ran out of the gym.

“fuck you too! you fucking faggot whore brothers!”
