Wow. They died four years ago, and no one tells me until now… My mom should have called or something! So I could say good bye to my father and comfort Jess! Frank came up from behind me.
“Hey Gerard are you okay?”
I snapped out of my thoughts. “Huh? ― Oh ya I’m fine, just concerned… That’s all”
“Kay bud, if you need me you know where I am.”
“Ya thanks Frank.” He smiled and left.
I trudged off to backstage where every one was sitting on the couches the venue had provided for us. I saw Mikey looking at me. “Come and get your high fives now boys, I’m not up to it…” Mikey came right up to me, I assumed he was going to give me a high five but he hugged me instead.
“Hey Gerard,” He whispered in my ear. “I think Mom is beating on Jess.”
Now every thing that Jess had tried to say about child abuse slid into place. “You think so?” I whispered back.
“Ya doesn’t it make sense, that’s why we had no contact of her in the first place.”
“You smart little bastard.” I nagged in his ear.
Mikey pulled away. “I try to use my brain…”
Frank eavesdropped in our conversation. “Don’t worry you guys.. Remember we’re going to your mom’s place after the show.”
“Thanks for caring Frank.” I snapped.
“Gerard” Mikey rubbed my back. “lets just play the show so we can go see our sister.”
“Kay.” And we went off to play our show.
