Tell Me Where We Go From Here
Peter Pan and Bands
After talking awhile about my life, my school, grandmother, and all that other crap, gerard said, "You know, Mikey and I in a band."
"Really." I said, taking a sip of my coffee.
"Yeah, Mikey plays bass and I sing."
"I knew you being Peter Pan would pay off someday."
"Hey, I only did Peter Pan because I had nothing beter to do."
"Psh, ya right Gerard. Then tell me, what were all those nights of you talking in your sleep saying, 'Wendy, I'll save from that nasty hook so that you can give me a thimble.' " Mikey said.
I laughed, "Did you really do that?"
"No." Gerard said, giving Mikey the evil eye.
Mikey looked at me and smiled yes. I laughed. Gerard just stared at us, "Can we change the subject please?" he said, putting down his coffee.
Mikey and I giggled. Then Mikey's cell phone rang. "Oh, gotta take this guys." he said and got up.
I took another sip of my coffee and said, "Who keeps calling him?"
"Oh, probally his girlfriend."
"He has a girlfriend?" I asked, a bit shocked.
"Ya, they've been going out for about 3 months now."
"Really, who is it?"
"Uh, Gabby."
"Gabby....who?"
Mikey came back, "So, what were you guys talking about while I was gone?"
"Oh, nothing." Gerard said. I sat there in utter silence. I hoped it wasn't Gabby Gonzalas. That would be terrible.
"Maggie, you okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." I said, snapping out of my space out. But, I wasn't really fine. I couln't imagine Mikey being with that slut.
