"Gee, thanks. It's good to see you too mother." I said, rolling my eyes. She looked over at Frank," Who is this?" I sighed, shifting my weight from one foot to the other," This is my date, his name is Frank. I went to high school with him." I knew that my mom remembered Frank she just didn't want to admit it. She hated pretty much all of my old friends and she loathed Gerard. Frank squeezed my hand a little," It's good to see you again Katherine." My mother didn't say anything instead she returned her attention to whatever she was cooking.
I noticed the guy was staring at me. He had a look in his eye that made me shiver in disgust. Frank looked over at me with his eye brows raised. He had seen how the guy was staring at me. I shrugged, letting go of Frank," Mom why did you invite me here? We haven't talked since I moved to New York." She rolled her eyes at the mention of my home," I never understood why you moved to that dreadful place." I rolled my eyes at her words," Because I needed to get the hell away from you." She gasped and Frank chuckled.
"I'm afraid that we are going to have do a raincheck on dinner." I said, grabbing Frank and tugging him out of the kitchen. I was not going to listen to my mother talk about how much of a disappointment I was. I had done enough of that growing up thank you very much. I heard her shouting for me to come back. I ignored her as Frank and I walked out the front door. I left the door wide open as we walked towards the van.
I climbed into the driver seat as Frank tossed me the keys. I started up the van and started to back it out of the driveway. My mother came running out of the house, she was still screaming like the banshee she was. Her new husband was standing in the doorway. I ignored her as we drove down the empty street. Frank burst out laughing," You have no idea how much I love you right now!" I laughed as well, smiling," I love you too Frankie."
We went back to the Way house to see everyone in the living room. They were watching Texas Chainsaw Massacre the beginning. Frank went to join them and I decided to go change. I headed down to the basement and began to look for some comfortable clothes. I changed into a pair of black lounge pants that had gray handprints on the butt. I pulled on a gray wife beater and looked around. I noticed a book on the desk. It had a leather cover and I had never seen it before.
I grabbed it and sat down on the bed. I opened it to see the first page said in big bold letters, Memories. I raised an eye brow as I flipped to the next page. I saw a picture of me was glued to it. Underneath it was a bunch of writing. The picture looked like it had been taken back in my freshmen year. I was wearing a Misfits hoodie and extra tight jeans. It looked like I was on a school bus. Sitting next to me was Frank.
I had my legs pulled up to my chest and I was leaning against Frank. My eyes were closed, I guessed that I was sleeping. I looked at the writing that it was beneath it. I realized that it was Gerard's writing. I decided I mine as well read it,
Today I met the girl of my dreams. Her name is Blake and she seems to be sent to me from above. She is the perfect girl for me. I've known her since junior high. I never had the guts to talk to her even though she was friends with my friends. That changed today thanks to a field trip to the zoo. She had tripped and was about to fall when I caught her. She seemed stunned and her entire face was as red as a strawberry. Despite that I thought that she looked adorable.I introduced myself and she told me that she knew who I was. I was surprised but pleased all the same. She told me that she wanted to hang out with me for the rest of the trip. Once we returned to the school she gave me her number and told me to call her sometime. I am just about to call her right now. More later- Gerard.
