What are you doing to me?

"I think you guys should just wait a fe-"

"I don't wanna wait, Gerard! I love him and want to marry him as soon as possible! I can get my parents' consent, I just need yours for Mikey. Please." I have been begging Gerard for over an hour already to sign the paper for Mikey and I to get married.

Gerard looked at Frank. "I don't know, Ray. How are we going to afford it?"

"I have money out away already."
"Enough to cover everything? Even the priest?"
"Yes."
"Where is it going to be held? We can't hold it here, it won't be big enough to hold your family and then our friends."
"I'll figure it out. Please?"
"I still don't know."
"Come on, Gerard. You know we love each other, so why do we have to wait?"
"Because, what if you guys get married now, and then a few years down the line, you get divorced?"
"That won't happen!" I snapped. Why don't he just song the damn paper?

He was breathing heavily. Frank quickly whispering into his ear in an attempt to calm him down bit. After he was calmed down enough, he sighed and looked at me.
"I'll sleep on it."

I nodded curtly and walked off. I understand where he was coming from, but at the same time, I didn't. I wouldn't want my 16 year old brother marrying someone as an act of teenage stupidity, if I was in his shoes. But the whole point of me trying to rush this is so that we didn't have to wait. I don't want to call Mikey my boyfriend and more, and I sure as hell didn't wanna call him my fiancé either. I want to call him my husband.

I trudged into the room to find Mikey sitting on the bed doing his homework. I haven't seen him since first period, I had to go to work right after school. I also missed dinner because I was getting everything in order for Gerard to sign the paper.

He perked up when he heard me open the room door. "Hey, Ray! How was your day?"
"It was decent enough. How was yours, baby?"
"It was pretty bad."
"What happened?'
"Well..."

I couldn't help but to get lost in my own thoughts. There has to be some way to convince Gee to sign the paper giving us his consent. But how? Should I work through Frank? But, then again, It would probably just start another fight between them, and I don't want to be the source of that mess.

I hadn't realized Mikey stopped talking until I heard, " Ray? Are you listening?" I was about to respond when he nudged me.
"Huh? Oh, yeah, sorry. I got lost in thought." I didn't look at him, I was just staring at the unsigned paper in front of me.
"Are you okay?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I be?"
"You seem a little off."
"Nah, I'm fine." I tried to sound nonchalant and reassuring.
"You sure?"
"Ya baby, let's do to sleep now. Okay?"

He nodded and climbed into bed silently, a thing I was thankful for. I was going to kiss him on the head, but decided against It, as he seemed upset with me, and turned out the light. Within minutes, he was snoring and I couldn't find a way to make myself sleep.

It was around 2:30 in the morning when I heard a light two on the door and someone whisper my name.
I lifted my head and looked towards the door, but I was greeted with a dark figure in my door way and an even darker hallway.
"What?" I whispered.
"C'mon. We wanna talk to you" it was Frank, the dark figure.
"About what? It's 2:30 a.m.! Can't it wait until morning?"
"Not if you want that paper signed. Get your ass up and get in the kitchen now."

I got up and started walking into the kitchen. I walked in and found Gerard drinking a Red Bull surrounded by notebooks, streamers, color samples and different pamphlets for different halls.
"What are you guys doing?"
"Planning the goddamm wedding you're so impatient to have. Where are is the paper you were hugging me to sign earlier?"
I broke out in a huge smile and ran to hug him. "Thank you, so much, dude! I'll go get them!" I felt like a kid on Christmas morning.
"Yeah, yeah. And get dressed, too because you're going to get all of this shit done. We'll plan the simple stuff, you have to go and deal with the difficult shit." he called after me.

I was beyond ecstatic! I quietly opened my room door and tip- toed to go and get the paper and clothes for me to wear all day. I glanced at the clock and it was 2:45, which means I only had so much time to leave before Mikey woke up.

"It's signed and here's a letter stating that I am, indeed, a legal guardian of Mikes and stuff like that. Take care of that, please." Gerard handed over the papers and then have me the other stuff for the wedding. I can't believe this is going to happen!
"Thank you! I gotta go, because it's a long drive to get to the court house and such. I'll see you both later- and please don't tell Mikey anything. If he asks about my whereabouts, tell him you haven't seen me."
They waved me off and went right back to planning.

This is going to be a long day, but, in less than a month, I'll be able to call Mikey my husband! I felt like I was on cloud nine while I started my car and began this long day.
