I Love You, Is That So Wrong? Unfortunately, Yes

“Good morning everyone!” we hear Frankie say energetically, as if he hadn’t gone through a really bad hangover, with Ray and Bob trailing right behind him.

“Speak of the devil… talk about timing…” Anna said as Frankie made his way into sitting next to Mikee to greet her in which she gave him a greeting of her own. Everyone was here now and Spencer was feeling a little better when us guys who hadn’t eaten yet started eating while the girls and those who’ve already eaten, namely Ryan and Mikey were just waiting. After a while I notice that Ryan was looking pretty bored and kept glancing at Anna, who was chatting with Nadine while doing something on her cellphone.

“I’m going to my room.” Mikey said suddenly as he gets up and leaves the dining area, I hadn’t finished eating yet so I’d probably follow him later. But now that he just left Ryan’s my new seatmate.

“Hey Ryan, maybe you should take Anna somewhere around here, you look bored and you’ve been glancing at her for how long now.” I told him, he then turned to me, looking surprised to find me sitting there and not Mikey.

“Since when did Mikey leave?” he said.

“You were probably too busy looking at Anna to notice.” I said, smiling at him teasingly as he turns away so I don’t see him blush, but I did anyway, haha.

“Do you really think I should?” he said.

“Well back at England you did bring her somewhere to eat, you have a thing for her don’t you?” I said.

“Is there any use lying to you?”

“Nope.”

“All right so you caught me there, I think I do like her, she isn’t like my ex-girlfriend, actually she’s the polar opposite, maybe that’s why I like her.”

“Why don’t you take her out on a date around Italy? I mean the performance is still tonight, you have a lot of time if you do it now, just don’t mention it as a date coz she’s in front of friends.”

“Should I do it now?”

“Well you are done eating and have nothing else better to do, plus it is Italy, go ahead.”

“Um… okay then…” Ryan then got up from his seat and went up to Anna; I just sat there and watched. “Hey Anna, um… you’re not doing anything right now and so am I so… do you want to just go around Italy with me?” he asked, blushing a bit. The girls were respective enough to not squeal and all because they knew that it would only embarrass Ryan and Anna wouldn’t like that, so they were just smiling to themselves.

“Uh… sure I guess.” Anna said as she got up from where she was sitting to go up to Ryan. “Where are we going?” she asked.

“Just around, but if you want to go somewhere specific then just tell me.” Ryan said, smiling at her.

“All right then, let’s just walk around first.” Anna said as she hid a blush by smiling back.

“Okay.” Ryan said and the two of them left.

“Where’d Ryan go?” Spencer said, just noticing right now that his seatmate who was trying to keep him from fainting from pain on the table, wasn’t there anymore.

“He went with Anna, but you feel better now right? You looked really bad when Brendon and I came in.” Jon said.

“Oh… ah I’m fine now… damn I hate hangovers…” Spencer cursed. I hear Bob sighing beside me, only to see that he was finished eating and looked like he had a plan for the day. He got up from where he was sitting and calls out Nadine’s attention.

“Hey Nadine! You look a little out of place there.” Bob pointed out and I turn to see what made her look so out of place. It seems that the couples were all interacting with each other and Nadine was the only girl without a boyfriend at the time since Anna went off with Ryan.

“So what if I am?” Nadine said pouting, Bob chuckled a bit.

“Well I’m done eating and you’re done eating, and you’re bound to get bored if you stay here, wanna go somewhere with me? Maybe on a nearby café or something?” he asked.

“Well I don’t want to be out of place anymore, okay!” she said as she got up from her seat and, like Anna and Ryan, she went off with Bob.

“Mikee are you too hyper to stay in one place right now?” Frankie asked Mikee when he finished eating.

“… is it really that obvious?” she said, Frankie smiled at her as he got up and gently pulled her up.

“Let’s go try and go on those gondola rides!” he said.

“Ooh! Okay!” she said as hyper couple leaves too, what’s gotten them so hyper all of the sudden? Brendon finished eating and he gave Abi a look and immediately she knew what he was thinking.

“You want to go somewhere with me too?” she said.

“Well all the couples seem to be going somewhere, I know a dog park nearby.” he said.

“Ooh! Let’s go there then!” Abi said, getting excited after hearing the word ‘dog’. The last couple present left and it was just us guys whose girlfriends are in a different country, but in my case, my lover is just upstairs in our room. I get up from where I was sitting having finished my breakfast and decide to go up my room where Mikey is. When I get up there and open the door slowly, his back was facing the door and he was using his laptop so he didn’t notice me coming.

Mikey’s POV:

I decided to avoid Gerard until I decide that I’ll forgive him. When he came down to breakfast and greeted me a good morning I ignored him and told everyone that I’d just go up to our room where I started the laptop to try and get my mind off what Gerard did last night. Suddenly I feel arms wrap around me from behind, I knew all too well that it was Gerard.

“Why were you ignoring me back there?” he whispered.

“I don’t know…” I said in a sarcastic way as I turn the laptop off, and flip it closed. I pull myself away from Gerard and move somewhere far from him.

“Mikey what’s wrong?” he asked, now sounding worried.

“I don’t know what’s wrong… maybe… it’s because my brother who is also my lover made-out with some other chick right in front of me?” I said, not looking at him but looking out the window.

Gerard’s POV:

Oh crap… he’s talking about last night… even though I was drunk I wasn’t drunk enough to not remember that I had been making out with Tina right in front of Mikey! Oh God… what should I do now?

“Mikey I was drunk! You know people do crazy things when they’re drunk! Plus she was the one who came onto me!” I said, standing from where I was sitting. I attempted to get a hold of his arm so I could hug him, but he just pulls away and glares at me. It shocked me to see him glare, I mean there were times where he got mad at me he would glare at me but he never glared at me like that. He really looked so angry and pissed; there was something about that glare that I find attractive actually…

“Don’t touch me, don’t talk to me, I don’t even want you to look at me, if she was the one who came onto you then you should’ve resisted!” he yelled; I could almost see the venom drop from his mouth when he said those words.

“Mikey…” I really didn’t know what I could say right now, I just wanted to hold him and tell him I’m sorry though I know that sorry wouldn’t do much… at least I could try. “I’m—“

“I said don’t talk to me!” he shouted, giving me a push and he ran off leaving the room. I could follow him coz I know that he’d just yell at me again and avoid me, so there’s no use. I sat on my bed; Mikey’s pissed at me because I made out with an Italian chick named Tina. I ran a hand through my hair and sighed deeply, this is going to take some time to fix.

Normal POV:

While in the hotel Gerard and Mikey were having problems with their relationship, Anna and Ryan were just taking a break from walking as they sat on a bench in a park. They were just talking about stuff.

“Do you always walk around when you have no fun?” Ryan asked.

“Yeah… well there’s nothing else better to do but walk…” Anna said.

“Ah… I see…” Ryan said, there was silence between the two for a while, making Ryan a little uneasy. After a while they started hearing angry Italian shouts coming from nearby, looking up they saw an Italian couple fighting in a café just across the park they were chilling in. The girl started crying but the guy didn’t seem to be affected and just kept yelling until he left her there as she sat back down on her seat and continued crying.

“Wow… talk about making a scene…” Anna said.

“Yeah…” Ryan said.

“You don’t like making scenes, do you Ryan?”

“Huh?”

“Oh nothing…” there was another silence for a while after that.

“Did Mikey tell you about me breaking-up with my girlfriend by just text messaging her?” Ryan said suddenly, shocking Anna.

“W-what?” Anna said, Ryan let out a chuckle.

“It’s okay, I figured Mikey was up to something…” he said. Anna was totally flustered by what she just heard, so she tried giving her attention to something else aside from Ryan. But then suddenly she felt that someone was holding her hand, turning to face that someone, it was actually Ryan. Of course, it would just be creepy if someone anonymous would hold your hand.

“Ryan… what’re you doing?” Anna said unsurely, trying not to blush when he smiled that smile she always found attractive.

“I’m holding your hand, what else am I doing?” he said.

“Well you’re talking to me, but why are you holding my hand?”

“You know, you’re the complete opposite of my ex-girlfriend.”

“What’s that supposed to mean? And how does that relate to you holding my hand?”

“I can answer both those questions with just one answer, and the answer is because I like you Anna.” he said smiling sweetly and blushing just as much as Anna was… which was a lot.

“I like you too Ryan…” she said softly, but was enough for Ryan to hear. Both of them smiled brightly before both of them shared their first kiss with each other.

In a café whose name I won’t state coz the author herself isn’t Italian, Bob and Nadine were just spending their time together as best friends drinking coffee and the such.

“Thanks Bob.” Nadine said suddenly.

“Thanks for what?” Bob said in a confused way, giving Nadine a weird look.

“Saving from being out of place in the middle of friends with their boyfriends… I swear, if you hadn’t pulled me out I would’ve been bored to death.” Nadine said, Bob chuckled at this and took a sip of his coffee.

“You’re welcome.” he said smiling.

“Gotcha!” Nadine said as she quickly took a picture of Bob smiling that way. Bob cursed, since he didn’t like being pictured or videoed, but it only made Nadine laugh a bit. “Sorry Bob, but you just looked so cute smiling like that!” she said.

“Nadine, you know I hate being pictured!” he said.

“I’m sorry… did I piss you off?” Nadine said, pulling a puppy-dog look. Bob laughed at the expression, confusing Nadine. “Hey… what’s so funny?”

“Nothing, it’s just that you looked really cute like that…” he said, trying to make it sound like a best friend’s comment and trying not to blush.

“Heheh, you too Bob, click!” Nadine said, using the chance of seeing him laughing for her to picture him again.

“Argh! Nadine!” Bob said.

“Wheeeeeeeee! I’m going to post this on buzznet!” Nadine joked.

“You better not!” Bob said, smiling.

“Aha! You’re smiling! So you want me to post it!”

“I’m smiling coz I’m having fun with you.” Bob just blurted out, realizing what he said he looked away so Nadine wouldn’t see him blushing.

“Really? Aw, thanks Bob! You’re a really cool best friend!” Nadine said smiling brightly, Bob smiled back.

“You’re a pretty cool best friend too.” he said, secretly wishing they were more than just that.

“Bob? Is that you Bob Bryar?” Bob froze at the familiarity of the Italian accented voice, turning to the source of the sweet sounding female Italian voice it was Éclair, the girl from last night.

“E-Éclair?” he said. ‘Damn why did she have to show up now?’ he thought.

“Oh Bob it is you! I wasn’t able to get your number last night and I was hoping if I can ask for it now?” she said smiling. Bob glanced at Nadine a bit who was just watching silently while drinking her coffee.

“Um… sure… I guess…” Bob said, getting his cellphone out and giving the girl his number as she also gave him his number.

“All right, I’ll call you then.” Éclair said, she then noticed Nadine who was too silent to be noticed at first. “Oh, am I interrupting a date?” she said.

“Uh… no… she’s my best friend…” Bob said, only hurting himself when he said that they were just best friends.

“Oh, all right then, goodbye Bob.” Éclair said and left. Bob turned back to Nadine, waiting for a reaction.

“What was that?” Nadine said in a teasing way, Bob guessed that she was only taking this lightly (poor Bob).

“Um… just some girl I met at a club last night…” he confessed.

“That’s great! She seems like a nice girl, maybe you guys should get together.” Nadine said with a smile Bob didn’t know was actually just a fake smile.

“Uh… maybe…” Bob said, not sure of what to say. Nadine didn’t know why, but she felt hurt for some reason, isn’t she supposed to be happy that her best friend’s dating? Somehow she felt different from that, she found the girl bitchy for some reason.

“Bob, I’ll just be going to the hotel ahead, I feel a little tired and all, is that okay?” Nadine said, feeling like not being with Bob at the moment.

“Huh? Oh uh… sure… I’ll handle the payment…” Bob said, nodding.

“All right then, see you.” Nadine said as she quickly left for the hotel, Bob knew all too well that he messed up their friendship.

“Careful, don’t fall in.” Frankie said as he helped Mikee into a gondola so they could start their first gondola ride.

“The water’s dirty… I don’t even want to think about falling in…” Mikee said, cringing. Frankie chuckled a bit as the two were finally in and as they sat down the ride started.

“This your first time riding a gondola?” Frankie asked.
