Dark Side of the Street

*Kelly's P.O.V*
Over the next two days I talked to Mikey on the phone a lot. Mikey is actually a really nice guy, even though he acts hard. I'm kind of sad that I hadn't got to know him earlier, instead of trying to ignore him. He was so nice to me over what happened with Gerard. He took me straight home, walked me to my door and apologized over and over again. It wasn't his fault though, technically it was mine, if I hadn't been earwigging. But he told me that that was no excuse for Gerard to be that way to a girl. I would have invited him inside but I don't think my family would like it if I let one of the Way brothers into the house.

"Hey" I heard a voice say. I jumped. I was at my locker getting my books for the next class. I closed the door and turned to see Mikey leaning against the locker beside mine, the usual smirk on his face. I noticed a cut on his lip and bruising around his eye.
"What happened?" I asked, curiously.
"What?" he asked, confused.
"Your eye and lip" I said, pointing at my own eye and lip to show him what I was talking about
"Oh" he said touching his lip, "That".
"Well?" I asked.
"Gerard happened" he answered.
"He didn't" I gasped, my hand flying to my mouth.
"I would like to say, "Its not that bad, you should see Frank" but I can't" he sighed. "After I left you home, I went back to the flat, because, ya know, that's where I live, and Frank was trying to calm him down. I expected something bad to happen and sure enough as soon as I walked in, he pushed Frank into the wall and went straight for me. he had me up against the wall and started boxing me". He stopped and looked at me as he had been looking down at his shoes. My hand was still at my mouth, trying to hold in my shock.
"I can handle him though and I got him away from me quick enough" he reassured me. "He didn't escape unharmed though, he got a bloody nose and a cut lip" he said with a grin.
"Oh Mikey" you said " I am so sorry. If I hadn't-" but he cut you off.
"Stop it Kelly" he said "I'm fine apart from the back eye and cut lip, he's lucky he only escaped with what he did".
"Listen, Mikey... I heard about you and Frank having to break into a warehouse" you said worried about how he would react.
"Kelly..." he said
"Have you done it yet?" I asked but he did not reply "Have you?" I asked again.
"No" he said, suddenly becoming interested in something across the hallway.
"Mikey... I know you don't want to do it" I said.
"Leave it Kelly" he said.
"No I won't" I said "Why don't you stand up to him Mikey, leave the gang"
"Isn't my face proof that I can't" he said roughly
"Mikey, I'm worried about you, I'm worried something will happen" I said, touching his arm.
"Don't worry about me Kelly" he said before he turned around and walked away.

Notes

I felt bad about not updating the story until yesterday and I had a little time now so I though I would put this up. I hope you like it :)
