Day By Day, Life Goes On
Day Twenty: Lie To Me
I wanted to know about Frankie.
I knew that Mikey would know.
But I was afraid to ask him.
I was afraid that he wouldn’t tell me.
“Hey Mikey-“
“No Gerard, I will not tell you where Frankie is.”
I sat there in shock.
“Why can’t you lie to me?
Tell me he is living in Tokyo?
Anything to cure my curiosity!”
I blew up at him.
He looked over at me grinning.
“There is the brother I know!”
“Now will you tell me?”
“Nope, better yet.
I will show you.
He’s been asking about you also.”
I was happy.
