Life is Colourless
VII
Mikey’s gone? Why? Why would someone just take him? How even could they? He’s such a kind sweet man, he would never do anyone harm. Anyone or anything. Nothing could be worse right now. The two most important guys in my life find out about my ‘problem’ then my little brother goes missing. Why does this happen? I genuinely don’t think it could get any worse right now. It sounds so clichéd, but it’s true. Right now the only thing that seems half sensible is leaving. And I don’t mean Frank. I could never do that.
I mean life. Getting out. A secret escape route. Suicide. Everyone says that it isn’t the answer, but have they ever felt shitty enough to mean it? I doubt it. A permanent solution to a temporary problem, I believe is what they say. What if the problem isn’t temporary? What if Mikey’s gone forever?
No, I refuse to believe that. But it doesn’t seem likely that he’s going to come back anytime soon. And I’m gonna have to tell Alicia too. Oh no. She’ll hate me. I never really liked her, me nor frank. But still. Telling her is going to be horrible. Telling anyone would be horrible, but telling the woman he loved so hard, then lost in the space of about 3 seconds, while Victor turned the world colourless and loveless.
I look over at Frankie. He’s on the phone, to the police, I assume. Whoa, how long was I talking to myself for?
‘Mikey Way… Yes, he was 20 years of age… A scientist, genealogist, maybe? He was good at it, I know that…Uhh, I can’t think or a reason anyone would take him, he didn’t have any ‘enemies’ as such, no… Okay, thank you for your help... Goodbye’ He turns off his phone, and sits next to me on the couch.
‘You okay, Gee?’
‘No, Frankie. My brother’s gone, and God knows if he’ll ever be seen again. Why would I be okay?’ I say through tears. Wait, when did I start crying? Shit, this ain’t like me.
‘You’re right, it was a stupid question. Why would someone take him though? He was so sweet and lovely’
‘You crushing on my brother? He’s straight, ‘member?’ I mumble.
‘Aww, Gee, I know he’s straight,’ He pulls me into a hug, there on the couch ‘I love you, and you’re the only person I could ever love. Got it?’
‘Yeah, I guess. This all started less than a day ago. The colour being gone, I mean. Mikey was gonna do something, wasn’t he? ‘Coz he messes about with genes for a job, and we were the only ones who could feel love. He was gonna see if there was something different about our genes, I think’ Frank pulls away quickly, with his thinking face on. He’s so cute…
‘If that’s true, then I think I might know what happened…’
