Gerard Way vs the World
Chapter Two: I Have To Go Pee Due To Boredom
Gerard's P.O.V
"This Sucks!" I groan as we walk along the sidewalk leading to Jenny's crappy house located promptly downtown in this crappy city on this crappy planet. Cars zoom past us while neon signs light up the polluted night sky.
"Gerard", Ray says as he turns to look at me, "You're 22 fucking years old, can you please just not whine for one night?"
"I'm not whining..." I mumble under my breath as Ray knocks on Jenny's front door. I can already hear the sounds of a party from out here. People talking and shitty music blaring. The worst sounds ever created on this godforsaken planet. Suddenly, after what feels like an eternity of waiting to enter hell. The door flings open revealing Jenny in causal attire. Her chestnut hair hangs down over her narrow face as her emotionless eyes scan us before finally settling upon Ray. In an almost inexplicable display her frown, which is forever plastered upon her face, slowly turns into a big, toothy smile. Shocking us all, we have just witnessed a monumental moment in history: The Terminator, otherwise known as Jenny Powers, smiling.
"Come in!" Jenny says enthusiastically as she motions for us to enter the crowed house while still keeping her eyes trained on Ray.
"Someone's happy..." I hear Hayley mumble and I grin slightly at her comment while we step through the doorway and into the real life nightmare for an unsocial and awkward person like myself and Mikey. I sigh for the thousandth time tonight as we are thrown into the sea of human begins. Ray immediately disappears into the crowd with Jenny. Hayley wanders off to sit on a couch, which leaves Mikey and I drowning together. We look at each other briefly attempting to telepathically form an escape plan. When that doesn't work we both wander off to a corner pretending to be social.
*10 minutes later*
"Arggghh, this sucks!" I groan once again as I take a sip of diet coke from the red plastic cup.
"No shit." Mikey says as he scans the crowd for the hundredth time tonight.
"I have to go pee due to boredom." I state as I run off to find a bathroom before Mikey could stop me. I briefly feel bad for abandoning Mikey and leaving him to fend for himself. But I quickly realize that he's a grown ass man and can take care of himself...mostly. I didn't really have to pee but I just wanted sometime away from these peasants. Damn I sound like an asshole. I walk up the wooden stairs, struggling a bit to maneuver around the creatures. I finally make it upstairs as I see a door leading to what looks to be a bathroom. I slowly make my towards the door and open it. I slam it shut behind me, breathing a slight sigh of relief as I take in my surroundings.
Turns out the door actually did lead to a bathroom and not Narnia. I turn on the sink, splashing my face with the cold water before turning it off and taking in my reflection in the grimy mirror. My long black hair is greasy and in need of a trim, or just a brush. My bland, muddy hazel eyes are surrounded by now slightly smudged eyeliner. To put it more simply I look like dog shit. I sigh as I begin to make my way over to the door again, picking my cup off of the sink. Yeah I know it's gross taking your drink into the bathroom but whatevers.
I enter hell once again as I close the door behind me. I look around the room and see Ray and Jenny making out in the corner. Oh well that's just fucking great. My best friend is dating the robot again. I turn my gaze to the other side of the room not wanting to witness the make out session any longer. What I see will change my life forever.
He leans against the wall, far away from anyone else. His striking hazel eyes stare straight ahead looking at nothing. One side of his hair is shaved and dyed a white color while the other side of his hair is black and drapes over his face, curling slightly at the bottom framing his already perfect pallid face perfectly. He is cloaked in all black with a short-sleeved t-shirt which reveals his tattooed arms and a pair of extremely tight skinny jeans. The mysterious stranger sips from his plastic cup while still keeping himself entertained with whatever he was looking at before.
I snap out of my trance when I realize that my mouth is gaping open and drool is leaking down my chin. I quickly wipe it off and close my mouth while slowly striding over to the stranger.
The cup in my hand has become smashed due to me squeezing it from both nervousness and amazement. My heart is pounding while my hands are sweating as I finally lean against the wall a few feet away from him. I causally sip from my cup hoping he'll notice me but when he doesn't I awkwardly slide against the wall slowly closing the distance between us until we are inches apart.
I take in his sweet scent, hoping I don't look like a creeper in the process. "Hey." I say causally while trying my best to look somewhat attractive but failing miserably.
"Hello." He voices while turning to face me. I hold my breath as he studies me and a blank expression remains on his face until he turns back around, taking another sip of his drink.
"What's your name?" I state, my voice more high-pitched than usual.
"Frank." He says bluntly while not even bothering to face me again.
Goddamnit Gerard, you're losing him! Think of something clever or interesting to say! THINK OF SOMETHING DAAAMMMNNIT!!!
"Well Frank...umm... did you know that male koalas have two penises and female koalas have two vaginas?" I mentally facepalm after realizing what I had just said. Really Gerard? Really?
Frank slowly turns his head to face me, while giving me the 'what the fuck' look and raising his eyebrow.
"I'll leave you alone forever now." I say as I awkwardly shuffle away from the most beautiful human being ever created. I make my way down the stairs replaying the conversation over and over in my head and reliving the embarrassment. I mentally slap myself while repeating: stupid, stupid, stupid!
I find Hayley, Mikey, and Ray at the front door waiting for me so that we can leave this hellhole.
"Where were you?" Mikey questions as I remember that I left him stranded.
"Embarrassing myself." I mumble as we step through the front door and out into the cold. After minutes of walking and me staying silent. We make it back to Ray's car and climb in, preparing to leave this shit hole once and for all.
"This Sucks!" I groan as we walk along the sidewalk leading to Jenny's crappy house located promptly downtown in this crappy city on this crappy planet. Cars zoom past us while neon signs light up the polluted night sky.
