Just Think Happy Thoughts

"So you're telling me that Frank is out with Jamia right now?" Gerard asked, a look of annoyance across his face. I had arrived at the Way's house a few minutes prior and just filled Gerard and Mikey in on last night’s events at Frank's.

"Well that's what he told me he was doing today and he's not here so he must have gone through with it" I told them. I was still disappointed that the night with Frank had gone so well up until Jamia had called. I cringed at the thought of them being together.

"Well this sucks" Mikey stated. He brushed his hair out of his eyes and got up from his seat on the couch, walking towards the kitchen.

“What sucks?” I asked Gerard. I presumed it had something to do with the fact that Jamia was a cheating bitch, but I wanted to see if there was more to the story. The curiosity was eating at me.

“Jamia” Gerard began. “Well not at first.”

"Oh? Keep going" I demanded. I scooted closer to Gerard and folded my legs up into my lap, awaiting whatever it is he would tell me.

"Well, Frank and Jamia went out for almost two years, starting our Freshman year. She was actually a pretty awesome person. The last few months though…” Gerard trailed off.

"She sucked" Mikey chimed in, returning with a tray with three mugs full of coffee and a coffee pot. He handed a mug to each of us and took one for himself.

"Thanks Mikes. This is just what we needed" Gerard said, smiling. He took a sip from his cup, sighing in content. That was his pure bliss.

"Yes thank you, Mikey. Now go on" I said, eager to know what happened with Jamia. I sipped my coffee as I waited to here the rest of the story.

"Well Mikey's one word vocabulary of sucks pretty much says it all" Gerard teased. He looked over at Mikey with a mischievous smile.

"Can it, Gee" Mikey lashed back. He pushed his glasses high up on his nose then took a sip of his coffee. "But seriously, it's like a switch flipped in that girls head."

"Yeah she went crazy. And she was fucking around behind Frank's back" Gerard went on. He was already finished with his coffee and pouring another cup.

“Oh yeah. Frank slipped to me last night that Jamia cheated on him” I told them. My face dropped at the thought of it.

“Yeah Frank caught her with some guy. Jamia wasn’t in school that day because she claimed she was sick so he skipped class to go see her and when he got there… well he didn’t find a sick Jamia in bed” Mikey said, shaking his head in disappointment. He grabbed the coffee pot from the tray on the table to pour himself another cup. “What the… Gerard you drank it all!?”

“Oh relax, Mikey. We can make more” Gerard assured him. “Want me to g-“

“No Gerard! That was the last of it. There’s no more coffee in this house!” Mikey shouted, a little too dramatically. Gerard sighed and hesitantly handed over the rest of his coffee to Mikey. Mikey accepted it with a smile.

“You’re killing me Mikes. Literally killing me” Gerard murmured. Displeasure spread across his face as he saw Mikey happily take a sip of the coffee. He turned away and buried his face in the pillow behind him. I couldn’t help but let out a small laugh at how addicted to coffee they were, not that I was any better.

“So crazy? How was she crazy?” I asked, changing the subject back to Jamia. I still wanted to know more. They both looked over at me, forgetting about the coffee for a minute.

“Well before Frank even found out about the cheating she was acting like a royal bitch. It’s like she changed into a completely different person” Gerard informed me.

“Or she just faked who she was the whole time and then the real Jamia finally came out” Mikey contemplated. “Listen, don’t tell Frank we told you this shit. I don’t want to die anytime soon.”

“I won’t say a word” I promised them. Gerard lips formed into a smirk as he stared at me. “What?”

“Well why did you want to know any of this anyway?” Gerard asked, still smirking.

“Well that’s because…” I trailed off not knowing what to say.

“You have a crush on Frankie, don’t you?” Gerard speculated, his smirk growing bigger. I could feel my cheeks growing hot and when I went to hide it, it was too late.

“Holy shit Gee! Her face is red! It’s bright red. She’s totally crushing on Frankie. I can’t take it” Mikey spluttered. He was in hysterics. I’d never seen him like that before. It made me even more embarrassed.

“Dude. Mikes. MIKEY!” Gerard shouted. He threw a pillow at Mikey to snap him out of it. Mikey looked up at Gerard, his face returning to it’s usual serious one. “Mikey calm the hell down. It’s not that serious. We’ve all had a crush on Frank.”

“All of us? Not me. Oh god. Gerard. You mean to tell me… You? Frank? I need some air. Cigarette break” Mikey said, getting up and walking out the front door.

“Mikey was hysterical. I had to get rid of him. You alright Kai?” Gerard asked me, looking back over at my still blushing face.

“Uhh… I…Did you really have a crush on Frank?” was all I managed to say. Gerard started to giggle.

“I don’t know. I may have. But that’s the past. Presently, someone else is crushing on Frankie” Gerard teased me, poking at my ribs.

“Ugh Geeee” I whined. I buried my face in my hands. “Please don’t say anything.”

“Alright alright. I’ll make sure Mikey keeps his mouth shut too” he promised. We sat there in silence for a minute until Mikey burstsed back in, waving his phone in his hand.

“Did you see this?” he asked, shoving his phone in Gerard’s face. I peered over to see what it was. It was a text from Frank to Gerard and Mikey that said: Hey guys, I’m coming over in a bit. I’m bringing a surprise guest. Don’t hate me. Love you guys xoFrank.

“Jamia” Gerard groaned, running his hands over his face in frustration.

“I’m gonna get out of here” I said. I got up from the couch and walked over to the front door. I suddenly felt a wave of deja vu come over me. I wondered if this had happened before. Then I remembered that last night the same kind of scenario had taken place at Frank’s. I slipped on my boots and opened the front door.

“Kai just stay. It’ll be fine. We’re here” Mikey reassured.

“I’d rather not, but thanks. See ya guys later” I said, turning and waving to them. They said bye and with that I slipped into my jacket and walked out the door. As I walked down the sidewalk towards my house, I sang to myself, trying to eradicate thoughts of the idiot that was Frank Iero.
