Please Don't Take This Out On Me
Chapter 45: He's, what?
"Wait a minute," Mikey frowned five minutes later as I was gasping for breath, having finished explaining to him what I had seen/heard. "Why on earth is-"
"I don't know!" I cut him off; starting to rant again. "Bob does have a thing for comic books... I mean... He really does... What's with him and comics??? They're just stupid small books that have pretty graphic drawings-"
"Frank-"
"-and I know that they're cool and rare but if Gerard wants to read his comics he could just chill and-"
"Frank-"
"Oh my god maybe Bob's parents died and all they left him was a stack of comics and Gerard knows and he's just being mean by stealing them-"
"FRANK!"
"What?" I said finally; turning to acknowledge my impatient friend beside me. "What is it?"
"Do you STILL have Gerard in your room? Even after what he did to you?"
"Why on earth do you care?"
"Because I care about you!"
"Well I'm a big boy and I can take care of myself!"
"No you're not! You could barely stand up to Mrs Skybalt!"
"That's none of your business, Mikey!"
"Yes it is!"
"No it is not!"
"Yes it is?"
"How the hell is it your business?"
"Because he's my brother and I don't want you fucking my brother!" Mikey hollered and I jumped as if he had slapped me. My heart jolted and I thought I was going to faint. "Wh-what?"
Maybe I heard him wrong. There was no way they were brothers... They didn't look alike at all! And there attitudes were totally different. No... This had to be a prank.
I forced a weak smile and clapped Mikey on the arm. "Haha, funny." My heart rate slowed down a bit and I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "Jokes on you Mikes. I caught ya."
Mikey's fists clenched like Bob's had earlier and he looked so mad his face turned red and I wondered if maybe he wasn't lying. "I'd never lie to you, Frank," he hissed through gritted teeth. "We're best friends, remember? Or are you so far up Gerard's ass you don't remember me?"
"Mikey stop-" I whimpered; reaching out to touch his arm again. I all over a sudden felt like puking. He wasn't lying. I was just a horrible horrible friend. I didn't even know his last name! How was I supposed to know they were brothers?
"M-Mikes-"
"Don't fucking talk to me, Frank. Have fun with my brother."
I watched in horror as my best (now ex) friend walked into his room and slammed the door.
