Just a Shadow In The Night (Mikey Way/OC)

Mikey’s P.O.V. Earlier that day

I was standing behind the counter of the comic book and music store where I work. Gerard and I were the only two employees working at the time. He was busy re arranging the CDs and records, while I worked the cash register. There bell on the back of the door ringed, notifying us that we had a customer.

My head snapped up and I realised that none other than the infamous Pete Wentz was waltzing in as if he owned the place. Gerard and I exchanged worried glances.

“Ah, Michael James Way. Nice to finally see you again” He grinned, before resting his elbows on the counter.

“What are you doing here?” Gerard asked from the opposite end of the room.

“I came to see an old friend…” He sighed, looking back at me.

“We don’t want any trouble.” I told him

“Well, I do. I want to be close to you like we used to be-” He informed me. “And someone is stopping that from happening.”

Gerard and I looked at each other again.

“Pete-“ I began

“-Oh I love when you say my name” He said dreamily.

“It’s not like that anymore. I’ve moved on and so should you.” I said sternly

The look of anger crossed his face as he made his way across the counter. Gerard moved closer in case things got physical.

Pete got as close as he could without touching me. “If I can’t have you, neither can Emilia.” He spat with so much hatred, that it hurt me when he spoke her name. I had no idea how he knew her name.

“Don’t you dare fucking touch her.” I snarled at him.

“I know that you love her. I saw the way you looked at her. I can love you again… and you don’t even have to kidnap me.” He winked.

“Pete, get out.” Gerard told him sternly.

With hesitation, he backed up, still staring at me with a mixture of hatred and lust.

Before opening the door to leave, he looked back at us.

“Oh, and your friend Bob has been a great help to me.”

The bell rung behind him as he closed the door.
