The Suicide Room

Eventually lunch passed easily with the guys, and next thing I knew, it was already late, and I was getting hungry again.
I said goodbye to everyone, and stepped on the magical pad saying ¨Go to, home.” and sure enough I appeared right on my doorstep, exactly where I’d left.
Walking further into the house, I just plopped onto my couch and thought through everything that’d just happened. I thought of Gerard, and his mysterious sounding life, and everything I’d learned about my blackboard and Brian.
Gerard did seem to stick to my mind. I mean, he is Mikey’s brother, and I guess I just wanted to meet him, but I also wondered why he seemed the way he was. Mikey was talking about his brother for crying out loud, and he started to cry. Was his past that bad? Was their past together that bad? Was Gerard himself that bad, or getting bad? Had Gerard done something to him?
Thankfully, my train of questions was interrupted by a dinging noise just like the one this morning.
It was my blackboard again. It said the same thing as this morning too; Click here to receive points. I taped the screen, and up popped my next task;

Task: Meet Someone New
Points Received: 1000
Points After Task: 1700
Ability(s) earned after task: Shopping, Chatting, House Electronic use.

House electronic use? Isn’t that like phone and tv? I didn’t even realize there was one here, but sure enough, looking around, there was. I guess I was just too focused on my blackboard to notice.
“Hey blackboard?” I asked. Yes I’m talking to my blackboard. No you’re not allowed to judge me.
“Yes Franklin?” The generic electronic female voice answered.
“What is the shopping ability? I didn’t see any shops.”
“Well, there is no need for food shops, since the cupboards know exactly what you want to eat every day, but the other shops can be accessed through me. There are shops for clothes and other various objects, including household furniture and decorations. You can shop by using the pull up menu in the bottom right hand corner of me, or by yelling ‘Open shop’ followed by a clap, and that way you can shop without looking at the screen, and I will read out the list of items.”
“Wow thanks.” I answer, trying to take in all of the information.
“Anytime.”
After a little thought, I decide to call Mikey and ask him to help me out with the task of meeting someone else. I mean, I’ve already met him and Ray, so what else do I need to do?
Walking over to the phone, I pick up the phone, and realize that I don’t have his number. Looking down at the phone however, I realize that I don’t even need it.
Sitting there is a mini keypad, and I guess that I should type in his name, so of course I do.
After I’ve finished typing ‘Mikey Way’ into the keypad, I put the phone to my ear, and to my surprise, he picks up after only the second ring.
“Hey Frank, what’s up?” He asks.
“Wait how’d you know it was me?” I ask.
“Caller ID, but why’d you call Frank?”
“I was wondering if you could help me out with something Mikes…”
“Yeah anything. What’s on your mind?”
“Well my next task is to meet someone new, but I don’t know of anyone I could meet since I already know you and Ray. I mean, I thought about Brian for a little, but I mean, I saw him for a little bit so it would be getting to know him and not meeting him.”
And that’s when I heard Mikey practically facepalm through the phone.
“Really man?” He asked.
“Yeah… can you think of anyone?”
“GERARD dumbass!”
“Oh I guess I didn’t think of that. Can I come over to yours so that you can introduce us?”

Notes

Sorry guys, after twelve days, I should have given you guys a longer chapter, the good thing is I have now made a second friend, and Marissa will be back Saturday so my mood and motivation should increase. I mean, that new friend I made, although he likes me, so I can see where his judgement is skewed from the beginning, he's really nice and I told him that I need some space right now because of my sexuality and how I'm still figuring it out and everything and so he's said that he would give me more space and he has and I don't know he's nice and a real confidence booster. I've been eating a little more and I even wore shorts to the grocery store today. It's the small steps that I celebrate at this point, but a step forwards is a step forwards for me, and normally I'm running full stride backwards so this is good.
And I mean this time I'm going to start the next chapter now instead of waiting to the night before I said I'd upload so... I'm the worst with procrastination...
Either Way
Till next time
