Review for you can keep my brother

you can keep my brother

(#) hopeanne 2007-12-03

It was a good chapter overall. A lot emotions in it... Im trying to sort it out in my head, so bear with me.
I liked the beginning. the 'deep purple' line was cute... (darkviolet) lol.
But rrrgh at Pete for betraying her like that! that stung! You speed through the hurt quickly though, I mean she went right to anger which is good. I mean it shows how badly it hit her, I mean the 'old' sky wouldve just ran and hid and I dunno maybe cried? okay maybe not cry cause shes not a crybaby but she is awfully immature sometimes, but this time she wasnt. And I liked that. It shows how much she really cares for Gerard and the guys that that was how much it hurt her, and it ties into the whole rude awakening, trust no one bit from the last chapter, which is the sad truth in life sometimes...
Anyway, moving on. Petes an ass. Im impressed with Gerard though. I mean how he 'stopped' sky like that. Im sure he wanted nothing more to knock Pete on his ass to, especially for upsetting Sky, I mean like back in that scene with the 'flash us to get backstage jerks'. And how Bruce told them no and all that shit about the rules and crap. I mean Gerard gets it. He cant go knocking Pete out cause it would only make more shit, but that doesnt mean he doesnt want to... I think maybe thats whats missing in Gees reaction, I like the mushyness between them but he couldve mentioned somethign about him being mad too, I dont know...
As for the mushyness.
It was good. He made her zero on his list! lol. I see his point about it being before one but that was a really deep line. I mean that sums up their entire relationship. I mean I think you should change the name from you can keep my brother to Zero. thats how much I loved that line. I mean that is them. Shes zero... I mean the whole way they hide the fact that they are married and their whole relationship. She means soooo much to him that he puts her before one... but by doing it, it makes her zero... ahh! its just a paradox, its just one of those things that I could go on all day about it. so I'll stop now.
and on a totally seperate note I am terrified of what Gerard is doing... I mean theres a lot of shit he can be doing that doenst 'smell' or taste and I just have this bad feeling...
I remember an interview where he said he went to Japan with just the clothes on his back cause he didnt expect to come home, that he was that far sunken down and thats just what this is screaming at me and its very unsettling to see him saying 'goodbye' like that. I can only hope that Sky hears his cries for help before its too late...
