Tell Me I'm An Angel

Gerard's P.O.V

Time Lapse>>>>>>>>>>

Next Morning. Mr Martins Office.

The tall grey haired man stood up as Linda led us into the office. He shook Lindas hand then turned to look at me.
"You must be the amazing Gerard Way I've heard so much about." He said as he grabbed my hand to shake it. Mikey clung to me tighter.
"I am Gerard Way." I confirmed. "But I'm not amazing."
"I beg to differ." Frank whispered loud enough for just me to hear.
"Well everyone who has come across your case believe you are." He gestured for us to sit down. Mikey sat as close to me as he could. Still gripping my arm.
"I protected my brother." I explained. "Just like any brother would. That doesn't make me amazing."
Mr Martins smiled. "You did more than protect him." He argued. "You constantly saved his life."
"I love my brother, Mr Martins. I would always do whatever I can to save him. He's one of the most important people in my life. I would die for him. Just like any brother would."
"Your very modest." He stated. "And very strong willed. I like you." He opened a file on the table, frowning down at it. Then he looked back at me. "Would it be possible to speak to you alone?"
Mikey's grip tightened.
"These people are my family." I said gesturing to Mikey, Frank, Oli, Jeremy and Linda. "We don't keep secrets from eachother. I'm not trying to be rude. But if you have anything to say to me, you have to say it to my family too."
Mr Martins smiled. "Your a very open young man." He said. Then sighed. The smile gone. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this." He started. "But at six o'clock this morning, your mum was found on her front porch unconscious. She was taken to hospital. But it was too late. She was pronounced dead at six thirty of a drug overdose."
I stared at the desk infront of me. I was shocked. Mum was dead. Dad 's in prison. Mikey is finally completely free. No more running scared. No more hiding. I look at Mikey. He looks back at me. "It's over." I said.
"No one's going to hurt you again?" He asked. Tears in his eyes.
I smile. "No."
"No more hiding?"
I shake my head. "No more hiding."
"Your going to be safe now?"
I pull him into a hug. "YOUR going to be safe now too."

Time Lapse>>>>>>>>>>

Three hours later. Home.

After we got home, Oli made coffees for us all. Me and Mikey were still in shock. I'm now his guardian. But there was more to it. The state had settled on the ten million. To add to that, mum had made a will. She left all her savings to me and Mikey. Her savings were worth twenty two thousand. She'd been saving to help me and Mikey secure our future's. Well that's what she'd said in the letter in the file from her solicitor. So now we were set for life. But I just felt....numb. Empty. I should be happy. I don't have to worry about mum or dad trying to hurt Mikey anymore. Then it hit me. Mikey doesn't need me anymore. He has Jeremy, Oli and Linda. He only needs me for legal purposes. He has his own bank card and money. So I'm not really needed. As much as that made me happy because no one's out to hurt him anymore. I just felt useless. And it hurts.
