It's Time

*Mikey's POV*
Like always, I have to wake my brother up to go to this place some people call 'School' I went down stairs to wake my brother up. Yes, I know what your thinking. Gerard lives in our family's basement. He likes to be in the dark. "Hey! Gerard, it's time to get up. Unless you want to be late for school again!! I yelled at Gerard while poking him in the stomach. Of course he always takes his time because he says he hates school. Once again I yelled at Gerard, but closer to his ear. "Gerard, get up if your coming to school with me!!" Gerard is muttering under his breath, which I can't understand what he's saying. He mumbles again, but barley audio, "Okay, fine. Just wait for me. I'll be ready in like 15 minutes." He replies, "Okay Gerard, just to let you know coffee is in the kitchen, already made." While I'm walking out of Gerard's room I hear him walking around in his room. Most likely searching for clean clothes. I went back up stairs and to the coffee pot, to get my second cup of coffee.

*Gerard's POV*
I'm hearing Mikey in the kitchen drinking coffee with out me. I mean drinking coffee with out me!!!! Who doesn't like to drink coffee with me?! After I'm done changing, I head toward my dresser. While I'm putting on eye shadow, I hear Mikey talking to someone. Someone that sounds familiar. All I know is that it sounds like a girl. I head towards the kitchen to go get my coffee and to Mikey. "Hey Mikes." I say quietly. "Your up Gerard!" He surprisingly said. Mocking his tone, I sarcastically replied, "Yeah, of course. Just because I want to go to this place called school" I grabbed my 1st cup of coffee and then sat by Mikey. "Hey Mikey. I was just wondering... Who was the girl that you were talking to on the phone earlier??" I asked him. "Uh, the girl... S-she's a friend... Gerard... She's just a girl I've been friends with for a few months...She helped with some bullies, then we kind of became friends." He shyly says back. I can see that he either doesn't want to talk about her right now or he's hiding something from me. Maybe I should ask him what is her name? Hmm.... Just ask him Gerard, just ask... If he doesn't say her name don't push him. *A few minutes later* "I was wondering Mikey. What's her name?" I asked him, yet with another question. He paused for a few moments. Most likely debating on if he wants to tell me this girl's name or not to tell me. He said, "Her...name...is.....Ace." He stopped talking as soon as he saw my eyes. I just couldn't believe it. I haven't told no one this except Ray, Frank, and Mikey. I..umm... sort of get bullied at school. Like I said sometimes. Not as much as Frank, because he's like the shortest in the school. Which means he can fit in the lockers. She used to be popular a school. Until one day, I guess they all had enough of her... They started spreading rumors where she was dating a different boy every week. There was rumors about her almost everyday for multiple months at a time. She used to call me names and sometimes when I refused to listen to the group she was in, she punches me in my guts. I know.. a girl punching you hard.. it sucks. But I would not punch a girl. Not ever! Even if she hit me. So enough 'bout me and Ace right now. I swore to myself. I would never, ever forgive her. I even wrote it in a notebook I keep for drawings. Which, of course, Mikey saw because he loves to look at my drawings. He even asked me one day about it. Which was a few weeks ago. I just hated her, even out of everyone who bullied me. She just... I guess humiliated me the most, and trust me, I had a lot of humiliating moments. After seems what I have been arguing in my head for the past 5 minutes. "Umm... t-t-that's g-good Mikes... I gotta go... I'll see you later..." I told Mikey as I headed out the door. I heard him call my name. "Gerard! Wait!" Which I preferred not to hear those words. I acted like I didn't hear him. With that I grabbed my backpack by the front door, and I continued to walk out of the house. "Gerard! I know you heard me, now please, just listen to me! Please!" With Mikey's hand on my shoulder, I turned. "What?" I said to him slightly annoyed. "I'm sorry Gerard. I'm sorry that's it's Ace. If you would have been around me a bit more. You might have found out sooner.... Maybe that accident wouldn't have happened.. I'm j-just s-so sorry, Gerard. The day when we started to hang out....I was getting bullied by some jocks...She was ditching school, I guess. And she was the closest to me, so she said that she decided to help me. Which she did. I didn't want to just leave her, after that she saved me from the jocks. I thought it would be rude... Oh, Gerard never mind, please just forgive me!" He started to get very loud at the last few words... I knew he needed to calm down.. I just wish.. that it wasn't Ace.. Why not another girl. Why does it have to be Ace? "Mikey, stop talking about it. It's okay... I mean... I forgive you and all... but...but not Ace... Just not yet, I'm not ready to. Okay? Please calm down Mikey. If you want me to walk to your school, after my school ends I will. Just not wwith Ace around, okay?." I calmly told him. He nodded his head to reply. As soon as I finished there was Ace...behind us. I hope she wasn't there very long and heard our brother-to-brother conversation.

*Mikey's POV*
Gerard turned around and then he saw Ace. From what I could see of him. He didn't seem very happy to see her in front of our family's home. He mumbled, barley audio, "I'm... umm... heading to school.. Bye Mikey... Bye.." I knew where the second bye went to.. But he didn't say her name. He then walked off to his high school that he and Ray went to together. Ace and I didn't talk much except for our hi's and stuff like that. The rest of the way was quiet. I kept watching Gerard.. I tried to go slower than Gerard, because 1 I needed to talk to him. 2 I knew he wouldn't really talk much with Ace around... It's like she ruined his life. I mean really. A girl punches you in you stomach and if your guy, it hurts. I swear, I believe she did more to him then he's saying what she did.
