Lover (MikeyWay x Reader)

I woke up beside Mikey with the worst headache and smeared makeup. I pushed him off of me and went downstairs to get some advil. That's when the phone rang and I tiredly walked over and picked it up.

"Hello?" I spoke into it.

"Y/N???" I heard Gerard say through my telephone.

"Gerard?? What's up?" I say

"The-the two towers were hit. People are dead.." Gerard said, his voice breaking.

My eyes locked onto the now turned on tv screen which was showing firetrucks and smoke along with people sobbing

"Where the hell are you Gerard?? Did you get hurt?" I ask while my heart beats twice as fast, imagining my best friend all alone in a fucking hospital bed.

"I'm ..... to catch a train. Please ....... the guys ..... I-I really need to see them." He says between really bad static. Before I had a chance to ask him to repeat himself, his phone hung up and I was left standing in my dirty living room with tears welling up in my eyes as I focused on the tv screen. I snapped back into reality and quickly went to wake Mikey.

"Mikey you've got to wake up." I say and shake him roughly.

"What's wrong?" He asks after noticing the look of worry on my face.

"There was a terrorist attack in New York City. Both twin towers fell." I explain as best as I could from the little information I've received.

"Fuck. I need to call Gee." He says in a distressed tone and throws around my blankets searching for his phone.

"He's fine Mikey he just called and said nothings wrong with him. He's coming home now." I explain. "We need to get Frank and Ray. He wanted everyone together when he gets here."

"I'll come with you." He says and stands up

"No, Mikey. You need to stay here and relax I can physically feel your stress." I say and sit him down on my bed

"Gerard could have been.... dead right now. My big brother." He says and tries his best to fight back his tears. I walk towards him and give him a hug around his neck. "Mikey it's okay baby. You can let it out." I say and he begins sobbing into my chest. After about five minutes he calms down and pulls away. "He's fine Mikey. You know Gerard he's basically a vampire. I don't think he'll ever die." I joke and he quietly laughs.

"I'll be back soon." I say and go retrieve the two boys. Ray was definetly still in shock and Frank was trying to cope with humor. We all sat in my living room which was still messy from the night before, watching the news. After what felt like forever, my door is flung open and Gerard, as well as my mother walk inside. I'm not as worried about her finding out about the party I threw behind her back, more so about my best friend whose hair was covered in ash. The four of us ran towards him and pulled him into a tight group hug. I'm pretty sure I saw Frank and Ray playfully kissing his face.

"You fucking worried us, dude!" Ray exclaims.

Gerard sat down with the guys and I walked over to my mom.

"I missed you so much mom." I say and she pulls me in for a tight hug. "I missed you more Y/N. As much as I want to make you sleep outside for what you did to my house,  I'll forget about it for now."

I sit down with the guys and after a  while Gerards mood changed from happy to serious. "I need to talk with you all, and I need to know if you're in or not." He explains and we stay silent waiting for him to explain.

"Watching those bodies fall from the towers was fucking life changing. It felt like a switch flipped in my head and I just wanted to save them all. I couldn't do anything about it and that really pissed me off, but I realized.. there are ways to save someone mentally, and that's with music. I want to form a band with you all. If you're not up for it, that's completely fine, let me know."

We slowly exchange looks and from that moment on my old life was over.
