Story Of My Life

"No! Not Mikey! Not my bruver! He's little, and he has to be with me!" Gerard hollered.

"I'm sorry, gerard, but he's being adopted. I'm sure you'll be able to see him sometime," Debra, the women who ran the adoption center, assured Gerard.

"But-But, he's my baby bruver! He's only free," neither "brother" or "three" came out clearly. "Bruver" and "free" were as close as he could get.

This was all too soon. Gerards parents had only just died! Now, he was losing his little brother?! His best friend in the world?!

"But...," Gerard began to cry. This was all too overwhelming for a five year old. He'd just barely come to understand the concept of death, and now, he didn't even have a family!

"I'm sorry, Gee. But that a the way it is."

"B-bye, Mikey," Gerard hugged his brother for the last time. "I love you, Bruv."

Mikey smiled at Gerard, not knowing what was happening. He was barely three. "I wuv you too, Gewawd."

Gerard sniffled as mikey's new family walked away with him. This was worse than losing his parents. Mikey was his everything. How could he protect Mikey from monsters if Mikey wasn't there? Who would help him be a famous explorer? Who would bother him? Who would he cuddle when he was scared during a storm?..

... Six weeks... Six. Long. Weeks.

Gerard was finally adopted after six weeks. But to him, it didn't matter. He didn't have Mikey. He didn't have his brother.

The women adopting Gerard was named Linda. She seemed nice, and funny, but she wasn't Mikey.

Everything was a blur to the small child. He didn't really pay attention to anything. As they drove, he sat quietly in the backseat, staring out the window at the trees whirring by.

When Linda walked inside, carrying Gerard, instantly, they were greeted by a small boy, with bright hazel eyes. He was small, and had a wide grin.

Linda put Gerard down, smiling. Gerard hid behind her legs, whimpering, terrified.

"Gerard, this is Frankie," Linda said, smiling.

"Hi, Gee, I'm Frankie," Frank already made a nickname for Gerard. "Wanna go play?"

Gerard shook his head, shaking terribly. "Go on, Gerard. Go play," Linda stepped aside. Gerard sighed and followed Frank.

"Come on! I GOTTA show you our room! It's really cool!!" Frank bounced around. He took Gerards hand. Gerard looked at Linda, as if as kind for permission. She nodded. He followed the smaller boy down the hall.
