(Love)letters <<<ON HOLD>>>

“Okay it’s the 4th house on the right. Yeah, this one. We’re here!” Everyone got out ofthe car and walked up to the front door. It was locked so Mikey rang the bell. Their dad opened the door and saw the seven kids on his front porch. “Michael what’s going on?” “We’re just having some friends over!” Mikey told his dad. He just stepped inside and his friends followed him. His dad did not even try to stop the kids.

“Hey mom!” Mikey said when they walked into the living room. “Gerard and I are having some friends over.” Their mom looked up from the magazine she was reading and widened her eyes. “Some friends?” “Okay, all of our friends, they’re staying the night too.” Mikey said while putting on the biggest smile so his mom wouldn’t say no. “I guess i’ll make lasagna for dinner then.” she said while shaking her head. “Thank’s mom” Mikey said.

“Oh before you all go downstairs, Gerard needs to go see his dad.” Everyone kind of camped out in the kitchen while Gerard went to his dad’s office. He knocked, even though the windows were transparent. “Come on in, son.” His dad said. Gerard opened the door and sat down in one of the chairs. “First off, i guess i took your whiteboard last night, i’m sorry about that.” He gave Gerard his whiteboard back and Gerard took a marker off his desk to write ‘that’s okay, thought i lost it.’ His dad smiled at him and opened one of the little dressers behind him. He took out two keys and Gerard immediately knew that his dad fixed the lock on his door. “There, one for you and one for Michael.” Gerard took the keys from his dad and smiled at him as a thank you.

He walked up to his brother and put the key in his hand. “Did dad get the lock done?” Gerard nodded at him and went downstairs, opening the door with his own key. Everyone just kind of followed him. The mattresses from yesterday were still there so he just walked up to his desk and wrote on his whiteboard. ‘Choose a place to sleep, two people per mattress please.’ Lynn dove on the sofa and shouted “MINE!” before anyone else took action. Pete and Brendon both took over a mattress and Mikey just kind of walked over to Pete’s mattress. “See, something is going on between them” Frank whispered in Gerard’s ear. Gerard just silently laughed at him and rolled his eyes. He actually started to believe Frank.

Ryan walked over to Brendon’s mattress. “Can i sleep here? because, you know, it’s more comfortable than the floor.” Brendon just laughed at him. “Are you serious?” “Well, i could sleep on the floor you know, if you did not want-” And that’s when Brendon decided that it would be a good idea to grab Ryan’s legs and pull them his way. Ryan ended up falling on top of him. “I guess that’s a yes?” he asked Brendon, who simply answered by telling Ryan to shut up.

Everyone started to put their stuff all over their ‘beds’ to claim them as theirs. “So…. i guess i’ll sleep on the floor?” Frank asked Gerard. Gerard cleared his whiteboard with his sleeve and wrote ‘are you crazy?’. “Uhhh…. So where do i sleep then?” Gerard rolled his eyes and just pointed to his bed. “Okaaay..? Where will you sleep?” Gerard rolled his eyes again and started writing on his whiteboard ‘bed, it’s a big bed’ Gerard put his backpack on his desk and got Frank’s shopping bags while everyone else was playing video games or talking. Gerard opened the doors on the right side of the closet and put Frank's new clothes in it. ‘Your side’ he wrote and pointed to the right side of the closet. Then he erased ‘your’ and wrote ‘my’ and pointed to the left side.

“Aaawwh! So cute, you guys look like a married couple!” Brendon screamed across the room. “Way to make things awkward” Lynn said while punching his arm. Brendon started fake crying and everyone just rolled their eyes except for Ryan who just quietly giggled. “See?” Lynn told them “Someone who laughs at you when you’re not funny, that is cute.” She smiled at Ryan who literally turned bright red and he hid his face behind Brendon’s back to make it even better.

This extremely awkward conversation was ended by the word “SUPPER” being screamed from the top of the stairs. Mikey and Pete immediately started sprinting. The rest just kind of followed. The dinner table had 9 seats today. And two plates were filled already. “Kids!” Their mom screamed, trying to get their attention. Everyone’s heads turned and she started to explain that there were two different lasagnas, a normal one and a vegetarian one. Everyone went for the normal one except for Frank and Pete. No one really cared though everyone was too focused on their own food.

After dinner, Lynn decided that she wanted to help washing the dishes and after she insisted on doing that, Frank thought he should help as well. They had a fun conversation with Gerard and Mikey’ mom on how they met each other and Frank just said that he was at Velocity 17 to have some fun and then met these guys. She believed him, good. After doing the dishes she said thank you to Lynn and Frank and sent them downstairs to have fun.

When they got downstairs everyone was sitting on the floor in a circle. “Finally!” Mikey said. “Now sit down everyone!” Lynn and Frank joined the circle. “Okay Mikey, now tell us why we’re all sitting here” Everyone looked at Mikey who just happily said “Ghost stories!” Gerard of course, rolled his eyes at his brother and Brendon immediately volunteered. He came up with a lame story about a girl who was home alone with locked doors when she heard footsteps. Your typical ghost story. Then it was Mikey’s turn. He was talking about the basement and how 50 years ago a family lived here and that it was haunted, it wasn’t a good story at all, Mikey was just really good at telling it. While Mikey was building up some suspense in his story there was a knock on the basement door and at least two of them -probably Brendon and Pete- screamed. “Come in!” Mikey said.

Their dad came in, looking as stressed out as ever. He told Mikey and Gerard to come upstairs with him for a few minutes and they just followed him. When they got upstairs, their mom was leaning against the kitchen counter, crying. “Mom are you okay?” Mikey asked her. Gerard went up to his mom and gave her a long hug. “Your auntie Mary just got in a serious car accident, kids.” Their dad said, obviously trying to be the strong one.” Gerard hugged his mom tighter when their dad said this. “Is she going to be okay?” Mikey asked carefully. “We don’t know yet” Their dad answered. “But your mom and I are flying to Florida to find out and to support the family. You guys are staying here though, your nana will be here tomorrow around noon.” Mikey said his goodbyes to his parents and Gerard hugged them both before they left. And they went back downstairs.

“What was that all about?” Pete asked “You guys spent an eternity up there.” “Our aunt from Florida got in a serious car accident and our parents are going over there right now. Gerard and i never really knew her though, saw her maybe two times.” Gerard nodded. Everyone just went kind of quiet and Mikey announced that he was gonna go upstairs to get something and that he would need Pete’s help. “I wonder what that something is that Mikey’s gonna get.” Frank said with the biggest smirk on his face. Gerard just pushed him and he fell over, which made everyone just laugh harder. Brendon also decided that he wanted to play truth or dare when Pete and Mikey got back. No one really had a choice in disagreeing and no one had better ideas so that was probably what they were gonna do.
