Welcome to the... Asylum?

Chapter 7

Gerard's POV

"Hey Izzy." Izzy looked up from her comic book and smiled at me.

"Hey, where did you go?"

"Just checkin' on the newbie." I sat next to her and draped my arm around her shoulders.

"What's that for?"

"Why not?" I leaned over and kiss her soft lips and she smiled. "What was that for?" I asked, referring

to her smile.

"Why not?" We shared a smile and kissed again.

"So.. Can I ask you a question?" She smiled and nodded. "Would you want to go out with?"

"No." My mouth hung open from shock.

"What?"

"No." I swallowed and looked at my shoes awkwardly. "I'm gonna go."

"Okay…" I mumbled more to myself than her.

"Oh, Gerard?" I looked up at her, not really wanting to. She smiled when she was just about to close the

door behind her. "I was kidding." My mouth hangs open again as closes the door. Once I process what just happened, I smile to myself and lay back on my bed. For the first time in years, I have a girlfriend.

Frank's POV

"Frankie wake up." Mikey shook my shoulder and I heard something hit the floor. "Shit, sorry Jamie." I

opened my eyes to see Jamie kneeling on the floor and rubbing her forehead. I turned over on the couch and Mikey raised an eyebrow at me. "You gonna get up or what?"

"Sorry." I sat up and accidently kicked Jamie. "Sorry!"

"Damn Jamie, can't get a break." Jamie pouted and Mikey smiled at her. "I'm not kissing it better." Jamie pouted again and he ruffled her hair as he stood up. He stretched and she poked his exposed

stomach. "Hey!" She smiled and sat on my lap. "Well… I'm leaving." Jamie opened her mouth, as if to protest, but Mikey left before she could do anything.

"Sorry James." She turned around on my lap and raised an eyebrow at me. "What? I like the name." She

shook her head and stood up to stretch. "It's really boring here." Jamie frowned and nodded in agreement.

"Hey." Jamie and I both turned our attention to Izzabella as she walked into the media room. "Can I talk

to you Jamie?" Jamie nodded with an uncertain look on her face. Izzabella glanced at me before returning her gaze to Jamie.

Jamie's POV

What does she want? Why is she talking to me? She doesn't like me. "Jamie?" I snapped out of my

thoughts and looked at Izzabella, who was sitting across from me in the lobby. I gave her an apologetic smile and scribbled on my board.

"So… What is it that you want?"

"Is Gerard gay? Like, at all?" She doesn't know? "He asked me out and I just wanted to know if that

Frank kid was going to case any problems."

"Why would Frank be a problem?" I erased my board and thought about how Frank get's uncomfortable

around Gerard.

"Oh. No reason. I just wanted to make sure I don't have any problems. It's been a while since I've had a

boyfriend, and the last one I had put me into a depression." I nodded and thought before writing my response. She was really calm about her abusive relationship being brought up and it was kind of scary.
