My Chemical Romance...The Musical (Page 12) [Gerard Way]

"Sophie, Youre late!"
"What? no Im not.... Shit!" I said looking at my watch. "Sorry"
"Okay.... now get to work!" My boss Samantha snapped.
I continued with my work for a while, it was getting rather busy, so I was concentrating on getting all the coffee made and the time was flying. Soon it quietened down a bit and I was in the back of the shop getting a cloth. I got back in and Samantha runs over to me,
"Sophie! Oh my god! Gerard Way has just walked in!"
"Has he really?"
"Yes, he's over there!"
"Okay, im going on my break!"
"Ok, what! wait!" She yelled after me, it was too late Id already gone.
I was heading over to Gerard, and Samantha saw this, she came running over. "What are you doing! You can't do that!"
"Samantha, let go of my arm."
"Sorry" She whispered as I walked over to Gerard. He turned to see me and pulled me close and kissed me. I could tell all the faces in the shop were on us, usually I would mind, but right now I liked it!
"Hey" I said breaking away
"Hey!" he replied
"SOPHIE! Samantha yelled
"Be right back" I whispered to Gerard and went to see what Samantha wanted
"Sophie, what the fuck where you doing? Kissing customers in the shop! Its terrible. I may have to discipline you."
"Youre going to discipline me?" I smirked
"Well actually come to think of it, I may have to let you go"
"Youre firing me?"
"Well, I don't like saying like that but yes!"
"If I didn't want to quit already I would complain about this. Getting fired for kissing my boyfriend on my break. I did nothing wrong!"
"Your boyfriend?"
"Yes... Gerard is my boyfriend! Why do you think he came in here anyway? Obviously not for the shit we call coffee that we sell."
"Sophie, Im sorry I didn't know, you can have your job back."
"Samantha, I don't want the job back! Thats why Gerard is here, to help me think of ways to get out of this place coz you wont let me quit!"
"I Know I wont! And have you got another job lined up?"
"Not exactly, Im going with My Chemical Romance on the next tour."
"Sounds lovely! But you have a job to do here!"
"No! You just fired me!"
"But I offered it back!"
"And I said NO! so deal with it... Goodbye!"

"I got fired!" I yelled to Gerard through the shop floor.
"Wooohoo!" He grinned. I walked up to him, and we walked out of the shop.
"Well... I realised before that as you were left to your own devices this morning you wont have eaten breakfast, am I right?" Gerard spoke as we strolled along the street. I nodded. "And you worked through lunch yeah?" He continued.
"Yeah." I answered
"Sophie, this isnt good!"
"Yes I know that! I just don't have time to eat!"
"That is one the stupidest things you have ever said! You're supposed to make time! You will die if you don't eat!"
"Gerard, don't be so dramatic! So I missed a few meals - big deal! It doesn't matter!"
"Yes okay a few meals here and there don't matter, but a few meals per-day does!"
"I don't need that much food though"
"Three square meals per-day, is what you need!"
I sighed and continued to walk silently down the street.
"Sophie, Im not trying to be the bad guy here, Im trying to help you. I don't want to see you get sick"
"I wont get that far!"
"You say that, but if you carry on the way you are, it will be harder for you to get out of the habit again. You have to help yourself, now!"
"What do you know about this sort of thing?"
"More than you think, Ok Ive never had an eating disorder or anything, but I have been through things that I should have stopped when my friends and family told me I should, I told myself I wouldn't go too far, just like you! But it happens weather you want it to or not! So please, try and get yourself back on track as soon as possible."
"Gerard, what are you talking about?"
"That you should start helping yourself...."
"No, not that, what happened to you?"
"Oh, erm... It started off just the alcohol, then it went downhill from there!"

"What did?"
"My life, sex, drugs and rock and roll baby!... well maybe not the sex bit, and the rock and roll was already there so just the drugs bit really!"
"Drugs?"
"Yeah, and Im not proud of it!"
"I had no idea"
"Well, I got through it. and its not a part of my life anymore."
"Oh right, thats good!.... Ahh shit pins and needles in my leg." I squeaked hobbling around, hitting my leg, I expected Gerard to be laughing at me but he wasnt, he was just stood there waiting. When my leg was back to normal we continued on our walk.
"Whats wrong with you?" I asked him
"Nothing!" He said putting his hands in his pockets.
"Oh, okay then. sure?"
"Yes I'm fine!" He snapped
"Hang on, why are you shouting at me? I havent done anything wrong!"
"You havent done anything wrong! You are slowly killing yourself, I can see it now, look... whats that bruise on your arm?"
"I hit my arm on the side of the door yesterday, its nothing really, and how is that relevant to me slowly killing myself?"
"I was reading up on the symptoms of Anorexia and Sophie you have a lot of the obvious ones, like the easy bruising, the pins and needles, the headaches, the dry skin and the chapping of the lips and the feeling cold all the time! I have no idea whats going on inside, but I have no idea why you do it to yourself, nobody wants you to be thinner, and if all this is obvious to me there is something definitely wrong here"
"I'm sorry..." I whispered, a tear rolling down my face.
"Oh come here, don't cry, I'm sorry" Gerard said pulling me into a hug.
"Why are you sorry? Your trying to help."
"But your crying, and you wouldn't be if I hadn't have said all that."
"Yeah but... you brought it all out and its hit home now, I can't just hide it away anymore."
"So youre going to try and sort it out?"
"Yes. Lets go for dinner!"
"Erm... Sophie, you don't have to go that far, just eat something at meal times."
"But... I want you to see how dedicated I am!"
"I can see that at home. Just the two of us, you can take your time, then when youre ready we can go out..." He smiled taking hold of my hand and we walked back to his house.
Gerard made the dinner again and with much effort I managed to finish the plate again too.
"Its not like I don't want to eat it. I think about food like all the time, but I just never actually eat it!"
"So its not that your not hungry, just you wont eat the food. Seems very strange to me, but then again, I wouldn't know." Gerard replied clearing up in the kitchen.
"Gerard?"
"Yep?"
"Are you okay?"
"Yes..." he laughed
"Your sure?"
"Yes! Why?"
"I just wanted to know you were alright!"
"That was a nice thought, but there wasn't any other motive behind it?" He asked looking confused.
"Kitten!"
"Oh dear lord, here we go again... I don't look like a kitten!"
"You do, but thats not what Im talking about!" I said pointing to the ground. Gerard looked to where I was pointing.
"Where the fuck did that come from?" He said
"I don't know! Can we keep it?"
"Can we keep it? He repeated
"Yeah! Can we?" I asked
"First of all, we don't know where it came from, second 'we' don't live together so 'we' can't have a shared pet and thirdly and most importantly Were going on tour tomorrow!" Gerard stated walking towards the small creature.

"Yeah... but is sooooooo cute!" I said climbing down off the chair onto the floor to stroke it. "Meep" The tiny kitten cried, Gerard laughed at the small defenceless animal that had appeared on his kitchen floor. We heard a rustling coming from the living room. Gerard got up to investigate the noise.
"Err, Soph, I think we have some kind of infestation!" He said walking back into the kitchen holding two ginger kittens, one in each hand.

"Where are they all coming from?... hang on... that cat you had here the first night I came round!"
"Honey? next doors cat!"
"Yeah... they could be hers."
"If so, WHY ARE THEY IN MY HOUSE!"
"Because youre special and the cat deep down has a crush on you and wants its babies to think youre their father!"
"Your brain is warped!" He laughed... "I think we should put them in a box and take them somewhere..."
"You want to abandon them?"
"No dont be stupid! I meant like next door to see if they belong there or maybe the animal shelter if they don't!"
"Oh right... thats alright then..." I smiled cuddling this tiny black ball of fluff, Gerard placed the other two on my lap as well while he went to find a box.
He came back with a shoebox lined with a towel, I went to put the first of the kittens in when I noticed there was already another small black kitten inside.
"I found it, on my way back!"
"This should be it now surely, they don't have that many per litter do they?"
"I hope not!" He said picking up the box with the kittens in. "Come on, lets go next door with these!"
"Sure!"

"I feel like a girl guide selling cookies door to door!"
"You used to do that?"
"Of course, I was a good girl!"
"What happened!" he smirked
"Hey!" I said playfully hitting him on the arm. I rang the doorbell and we stood there waiting for the answer. A large man, covered in tattoos with a filthy white t shirt came to the door.
"What do you want? Oh its you! Margaret! the scary kid from next door is here!" He yelled walking back into the house leaving the door open... Soon a small woman with blonde hair and a friendly face appeared at the door.
"Sorry about him dear, was there anything you wanted?"
"Yes, actually do these belong to you?" Gerard said showing the woman inside the box.
"Oh my gosh! Thank god! I thought she'd abandoned them somewhere..."
"So you knew they were coming?"
"Yes, I prepared a nest for her and everything." The lady said taking the box off Gerard. "How can I repay you?"
"For what? finding a Kitten in my kitchen? nothing at all! Just glad they belong here."
"In your kitchen? thats where the nest was?" she smiled
"Nest? no it just walked in. and we found the others in the living room."
"Thank you anyway Gerard, and... sorry I don't know your name, " She asked me
"Sophie." I smiled back.
"Lovely name, my niece is called Sophia." She smiled again warmly...
"Well thank you, bye..."
"Goodbye dear."

"C'mon 'scary kid', lets go back, Im cold!"
"Oh alright then... just 'cause I love ya."
"You do?"
"Of course!"
"Thats good then isnt it!"
"Hey! where's my love?"
"In my pocket!" I grinned running into the house shutting the door so Gerard couldnt get in..."

clicky, rest this way ---->
"Fine then..." he said climbing through the window "I will get you for that Miss McKay!" he said chasing me round the room... I ran into his room and tried to shut the door but he got there too quickly and was in the way. Gerard got into the room and shut the door behind him...
"That is how you shut a door, when nobody is standing in the way!"
"Thank you! I shall remember that... oh yes, here is your love!" I smiled fishing around in my pocket and holding out my hand for him. Gerard picked up the invisible 'love' off my hand and put it in his pocket.
