Lips of an Angel (Rikey)

Chapter 1

"listen, Mikey..." Ray started.

Mikey looked up at the other in confusion.

"I don't- i don't think that we were actually meant to be boyfriends, I think we should've stayed friends and nothing more." Ray continued.

Hearing Ray say that broke Mikey, he thought Ray loved him, he thought that Ray wanted him. The smaller boy's eyes almost instantly flooded with tears. Mikey began sobbing uncontrollably, running to his room and slamming the door.

Ray felt like shit for making Mikey hurt like this. He knew that Gerard was gonna beat his ass for hurting Mikey. At the beginning of their relationship Gerard had said, "I'll let you date him Toro, but if you ever hurt my baby brother; I'm gonna chop your dick off, blend it, and force you to drink it." He really only had two options; To either tell Gerard himself and take a beating, or to risk it and not tell Gerard and hope that Gerard doesn't find him.

Mikey was sitting on his bathroom floor sobbing, trying to figure out what he did wrong and to make Ray not love him anymore. He thought that he was doing everything right. He thought that he was making the other happy; but apparently he fucked up somewhere in the mix. The love of his life didn't want him anymore so no one did in Mikey's eyes. All he ever wanted or needed was Ray, and the other knew it. Ray knew Mikey's past relationship issues, he knew that Mikey's ex, Pete abused him, he knew that Mikey was fragile, he knew Mikey had a hard time trusting people that he's in a relationship with because of Pete.

"Why, Why did he use me like this?" Mikey asked himself.

"Because you're vulnerable, you let him in your heart and he hurt you. It's your fucking fault Michael" A voice in his head responded.

"It is?" Mikey asked.

"Yes" The voice answered. "You should end it all, you know; Like you tried to do when you were with Pete." The voice added.

"No, I cant. Gee loves me , so does Frankie, so does Bert, and- and Patrick does too, all of my friends; They all love me." Mikey refuted.

"Just shut up and do it you useless, gay, piece of shit!" The voice yelled.

"NO!" Mikey screamed.

"Fuckin' fag" The voice scoffed and went away.

Mikey sobbed even harder if that was possible. Maybe the voice was right; Maybe he should try to off himself again. He found a razor and took it apart, taking one of the blades from the broken pieces of plastic and holding it in his hand. He boy lifted his arm and ran the blade over his skin, reopening some scars and creating new ones as well. He stopped after there were cuts all up is forearm and bicep. Not knowing what else to do he dropped the blade and leaned up against the wall, letting out more broken sobs.

He hated feeling like this, feeling like no one loves him.

Eventually he got up and left the bathroom and walked around seeing that Ray and all his stuff was gone. Mikey only knew one thing to do; Call Gee, and that's what he did.

After a few rings Mikey heard his brother's voice

"Hello?" Gee said sleepily.

"Hi G-Gee, I'm sorry did I w-ake you?" Mikey asked.

"Yeah, but it's okay. What's up?"

"R-Ray broke up w-w-with m-me" Mikey said trying to hold back tears.

"That piece of shit" Gerard seethed.

"G-Gee p-please do-don't be m-mad"

"He fucking promised that he wouldn't do this shit to you" Gerard hissed.

"I-I'm s-so-sorry G-ee" Mikey cried.

"It's not your fault, Mikes" Gerard said in a calming manor.

"Just c-can you p-ick me up p-please" Mikey asked through tears.

"Yeah I'll be there in a sec" Gerard said as he put his clothes and shoes on. He got in his car and started driving.

"I'll see you when you get here, I love you" Mikey said, starting to calm down a little.

"Love you too" Gerard returned and  hung up.

Gee got to Mikey's apartment building about ten minuets later and walked up to Mikey's place. He walked in and found his brother on the couch with a blood-soaked shirt on. Gee looked at Mikey in a concerning way.

"Lift you sleeves" Gerard softly.

Mikey hesitantly nodded and lifted his sleeves showing his brother his arms that are littered with marks and dry blood. Gerard gasped and got on his knees in front of his younger brother that was sitting on the couch.

"I'm sorry Mikey" Gerard cried. "I'm sorry I couldn't help"

"Gee, it's alright, I didn't tell anyone; So really no one could help" Mikey said as he clung to his brother.

"We have to go, but tell me everything that happened when we get to my place and get you cleaned up" Gee said and started to walk out.

Mikey nodded and followed behind Gee.
