Plaguing Memories, chapter 2
"She what? Said something nasty to ya. Grow up would ya."
"Mikey it wasn't like that."
"Then what was it like huh? Whatever it was it was no reason to destroy her, stop her being happy."
"She was the one who nearly killed him."
"Who? I don't remember any of this."
"Frank she nearly killed him remember the guys who beat him up?"
"Yeh so what he said he'd got in debt with them."
"Mikey he hadn't all he did was set some rumour off about her and some guy, nothing absolutely nothing."
"This still doesn't explain anything."
"She hired the guys to beat him up, I heard her talking to someone about it beat him until he's nearly dead but don't kill him."
"You're lying, I know you are she wouldn't. You just want to cover up why you made the only guy that ever liked her hate her." I pounced at him, I was getting angry again, lying was what started this anyway. "I had to watch her die because you, because you didn't want to see her again, you put me through that I hate you." I screamed at him, while knocking both of us to the ground.
He managed to grab hold of my arms however, to stop me strangling him; he rolled us over so he was sitting on me and placed my arms on the ground. "I didn't know it was going to happen Mikey, just calm down." He half yelled at me, shaking me a bit. "Snap out of it, you're not yourself you'll put yourself in hospital again."
"I never put myself in hospital it was your fault all your fault," I replied, trying to break free of his strong grip.
"Just forget about it, you did for a bit why now?" His tone had turned into a soothing one now.
"I dunno, it just started, I couldn't stop it." I murmured, as he got off me and pulled me into a hug.
I struggled at first, but I couldn't get away this time and just ended up curling into him, I was shaking again, whispering inaudible words over and over again.
Gerard's *pov*
"It's okay Mikey, it's okay I understand you're mad and upset at me, just please come back to normal, you're scaring me," I whispered, rocking him gently, hardly moving him at all. "Were back in New Jersey tonight and will be for a few days before moving on, we'll go see mom yeh?" I let go of him and got to my feet, pulling him up with me. "Come on come practice with us."
I took hold of his hand and he reluctantly followed me towards the area we'd set up to practice, the rest of the group were there, Bob holding a steady drum beat and Frank and Ray playing a riff they'd made up a few days ago. I sat down in a chair, picking up a notebook and began to look over some of the lyrics I'd written in it. I hummed a tune I had in my head to one of the songs, occasionally I'd glance up at Mikey who was sat in a separate corner, with the volume of his Bass down low, playing a tune I'd never heard before. He was mumbling something along to it; I slowly crossed to him, kneeling beside him.
"That's good ya know."
He looked up at me startled. "It's nothing."
"I know you liked her."
He shook his head, smiling softly. "Ya got it wrong I never did, just memories."
"Whatever ya say," I ruffled his hair which he protested to before walking away.
Mikey's *pov*
Later that night.
"You guys ready to go on?" Billie asked us, grinning about some hidden joke between him and Tre.
"Yeah." Gerard and Frank replied together along with nods from Bob, Ray and I.
"Well, yeah good look." He still had that I'm up to no good grin on his face.
"What did you do?" Frank asked, going up to Billie and jumping on his back.
"Nothing," He mumbled, throwing Frank off him. "Munchkin."
"That's not very nice." Frank pouted. "Your not that tall either ya know."
Just as Billie was about to say something back we were called to go on, we followed the tech guy down a few corridors to the entrance of the stage before running on. Gerard doing the usual intro stuff, before we went into Helena, we played a few other songs before Billie ran onto the stage, several songs earlier; he hijacked the mic from Gerard. As it all went silent. "And now I interrupt this performance to show a very nice slideshow some very nice people helped us put together, seeing as this is My Chemical Romances hometown well except Bob but we wouldn't leave him out.
A creaking, screechy noise was heard as a huge screen came down from behind us, Billie pulled Gerard to the edge of the stage as Mike did with Bob and I and Tre did with Ray and Frank. A few seconds later lets just say some of the more embarrassing photos and videos of our childhoods played some that you just wished never got out.
Bob was practically strangling Tre by this time, while the rest of us just stood there stunned, the slideshow lasted about 8 minutes before the screen disappeared, we were dragged onstage again red with embarrassment. "Well hope ya enjoyed it guys. We'll take over from here. We love you all really." With that they went straight into American Idiot as we wandered off stage.
We watched them as we usually did; learning more each time, as the concert continued Billie pulled a small boy onstage he looked around the age of 9 but when asked said he was 11. Billie asked him if he could play an instrument and he said he could play guitar as usual Billie handed it to him and selected someone to play Bass and Drums, he then asked them to play she. There was something about the boy though the other two were girls it was like I'd seen him before or somewhat someone who looked exactly like him before. It was him definitely him I knew it now there was no mistake the little boy the one and a half year old his before chocolate brown hair was now black making it clearer, I needed to talk to him I knew I did.
Gerard saw me tighten up when I saw the boy; he slid an arm around my shoulders hugging me close. About half an hour later the concert ended and just as Billie was saying good bye I broke free of Gerard and dashed on stage, taking everyone by surprise, I glanced over the audience, searching for the boy, but people were still leaving, I still managed to find him however, I then jumped into the crowd, into a free gap, I scrambled through the crowd to where I had seen him before, though I could hear Gerard screaming my name. People were giving me weird looks at times and a few were crowding round but I pushed past them, I searched for about ten minutes which was pretty hard because it was still crushed, I was about to give up when I caught another glimpse of him but then he disappeared again, but a second later he reappeared, he had somehow moved back to me, I reached out taking hold of him and spinning him round but...
"Mikey it wasn't like that."
"Then what was it like huh? Whatever it was it was no reason to destroy her, stop her being happy."
"She was the one who nearly killed him."
