Tomatoes

We drive home in silent. Ray and Bob get out off the car when Gerard stops at the 21th street. They wave goodbye and we drive home.
“Frank ... I-“ Mikey begins but I shake my head.
“let me in peace ...” I say getting out off the car. I´m at home. I sigh slam the passengers door and walk towards the door.
“hey ...” A hand on my shoulder turns me around. I look into Gerard´s beautiful eyes.
“love you babe” he whispers.
“I know.” I mumble turning around and walk inside without an answer for him.
I drop on my bed sighiing loudly. That was a dream. A bad bad dream – nothing else ...

[ the next morning ]

I open my eyes and roll over. I hear a small knock on my door.
“Frankie ...?”
“come in, Allen ... I´m awake!” I say and my lil brother jumps next to me onto the bed.
“You slept like you won´t ever fuckin wake up.” He explains.
“oh okay.” I mumble wrapping my blankets.
“Come on ... mum made pizza for us two!” he runs out of my room.
“great ...” I groan stretching myself before I get up.
When I enter the kitchen Allen sits there eating a piece of pizza.
“where´s mum?” I ask him.
“she at Dug´s.” He answers.
“She is working? On Sunday?”
“nooo ... it´s a kinda ... date?” He shruggs his shoulders and bites in his pizza.
“ewwwww ... tomatoes!” he squeals.
“it won´t kill you if you eat tomatoes!” I groan and sit down.
Holy fuck it´s 4:01 p.m.!!! I slept for a long time, huh? I remember the last night – I could be so perfect ... but then thy scarred the livin´shit out of me!
“Frankie?”
I jump.
“hm what?” I look at my brother.
“I hate tomatoes!”
“don´t eat them ... before you really die ´cause you ate tomatoes!” I laugh and he smiles at his pizza
- without tomatoes!
