Fragile Future *shadowpook and I*

"Well, yes, I AM a 16 year old boy"

"That too."

He nodded once.

"Going home any time soon?"

"no. Never going home again"

Mikey loked Gerard. "Your not runing away again are you?"

Gerard nodded once "I'm gonna get further this time, Further as in out of town before the police catch me"

Mikey suddenly turned serios. "I thought you cared about Danny?"

"She'll e in that coma for months. When she wake up her memory will probably be so far gone she doesnt ever remember me. She'll never know I was here, shewon;t miss me when I'm gone"

"The heart isn't stopped by simple matters like that." said Mikey. He walked over to the edge of teh wall and jumped down.

"if needs be I can erase myself from this towns memory" Said Gerard heavily "My parents and sibling wouldn;t be affected but I donlt wanna go taht far. I don;t wanna lose you Mikey"

"You wouldn't. I'M not completely stupid." said Mikey walking into the night.

Gerard watched him go. He then grbbed his bag and headed on a road outta town.

Rosemary walked in tiredly and took off her jacket.

Raven closed the laptop "Hey ROsemary"

Rosemary fell onto the sofa face first. "hey raven."

Raven sighed "You're grandmotehr Ok?"

"Fine. Backs giving ehr trouble again though. Oh, by the way, work called and said i had to meet a cleint for lunch tomorrow."

"Oh, Ok" said Raven "Look, ROse, I wanted to talk to you about Gee"

Rosemary looked at Raven. "do we have to love? I JUST collapsed on the sofa!"

Rsven sigehd grimly "We have to"

Gerard stared out the window of the bus, rain was now falling lightl and rnning down the window, making evrything seem streaked andgrey. He tried to rid his minds of those thoughts of Dann,Mikey, Helena, His parents. The only mercy was that oronce he didn;t have Jadens face hauntinghim.

Rosemary sat up and looked at Raven. "okay what's on your mind?"

Raven sighed "Well, You;ve seen Gerard going off the rails lately>"

Rosemary looked at Raven sharply. "his brother just..."rosemary gulped and looked like she was about to cry.

"Even before that he was being a bit of a bad lot" said Raven "I-I've got a friend who runs a reform school for teenage boys, He thinks Gerard could benefit from a term there-"
