Categories > Celebrities > My Chemical Romance > Starting Over in New Jersey
I've not spoken to Scarlet, Leighton, Gerard, Frank and - most shockingly - Mikey for over two nearly three years now. We finished school a year after that gig and went off to college. Scarlet and Gerard went to Art School in New york; Frank, Leighton and Mikey all stayed close to home and I went to another part of Jersey to get on the best Journalism course I could find. We stayed in touch for a while and then we just stopped speaking.
It's been three years since I last saw them all and all I know about them is that Scarlet is starting her own fashion line in New York, last I heard about Gerard was that he was working for Cartoon Network, Frank and Leighton are starting a business together and Mikey is currently working for Sony working on the Play Station 2. As for me I got what I wanted; I'm now a music journalist for a small time magazine. Hopefully that's going to change soon; I have a trial with Music Is The Heart magazine, all I have to do is interview this new band My Chemical Romance and if they think it's good enough then I get the job. Sounds simple enough except I know nothing about them and the interview is in five minutes.
Instead of telling them this I just agreed to do it and now I'm sat here waiting for them messing with my Starbucks cup trying to think of mutal questions to ask them; but I literally know nothing about them. Well, I know a few things about them: I know they're from Jersey, that they've just released a debut album and that they were quickly becoming well known.
"Nice, our interviewer is a Starbucks drinking, crazy jewellery wearing, nervous, eyeliner wearing girl. Love it." I looked up at the guy who'd just walked in, what did he mean crazy jewellery? I was only wearing the anchor necklace Mikey had given me. He looked faintly familar but I can't pin point where from. "Sorry, I tend to talk to myself a lot." He held his hand out for me to shake it.
"It's no problem, I do it myself." I replied standing up and shaking his hand.
"Ahh, from Jersey as well. I'm Frank." He smiled when he mentioned Jersey. He must be proud of where he's from.
"Izabelle, and yeah I'm from Jersey." I replied smiling, "is it just you I'm interviewing or is the rest of the band on their way?" I asked him.
"Ray's ill so it'll just be me, Gerard and Mikey you'll be interviewing." Frank told me.It's weird how I was just thinking about the Frank, Gerard and Mikey I knew and now the three guys I'm interviewing have the same names.
"Why can I smell a Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha, which has had sugar added to it to make it even sweeter?" I turned round to see two guys walking through the door, they also looked oddly familar and they also looked slightly a like.
"Mikey the coffee geek is here." Franklaughed. By saying this I could tell that Mikey was the taller one wearing glasses by him blushing and that Gerard was the shorter one.
"Sorry, I didn't realise the interviewer was already here." He looked at me and his eyes rested on the necklace I was wearing and he smiled slightly. I don't understand why it made him smile it was only a necklace. "I'm Mikey." He put his hand out in front of him for me to shake.
"Izabelle." I replied shaking his hand and I swear his eyes lit up at hearing my name; or was it because he realised I'm from Jersey? "I only added two sugars to my coffee." I added before he asked me.
"A quick thinking, Starbucks drinking Jersey girl. You remind me of somebody I used to know." He replied sitting next to Frank.
"I'm Gerard." Instead of shaking my hand he gave me a small wave and sat on the other side of Frank.

Considering I knew nothing about them I still managed to ask them some really good questions and now it was time for the typical qustion for any new band.
"Last question, seen as though your fan base is growing there's bound to be some fans dying to know; are any of you guys taken?" I asked and Frank and Gerard smiled whereas I thought I saw a hint of sadness in Mikey's eyes.
"I am, I've been with her for four years this week actually. She owns her own fashion line and helps out with fashion for the band." Gerard answered smiling his head off obviously proud of her.
"Same actually, well, with the four years thing anyway. Me and my girlfriend own a record label and clothing line together and I'm very proud of her for looking after it when we're away." Frank answered next.
"I'm single and have been for nearly three years now and I'm gutted because I really believed that that was it. I gave her my most valuable procession - besides my heart - and I've not seen her since. Well, until today that is anyway." He looked at me a sad smile on his beautiful face.
"I had a feeling it was you three." I replied smiling while walking round the table and pulling Mikey up into a hug. I couldn't help but laugh at Frank and Gerard whispering "kiss her already".
I looked up at Mikey and he crashed his lips against mine and didn't pull away for at least what felt like ten minutes. When we did pull away from each other both me and Mikey were smiling at each other and Frank and Gerard were still sat on the couch clapping at us.
"I missed you." Mikey whispered against my lips making me smile.
"I missed you to." I replied and he pulled me into a tight hug, a Mikey hug. The type of hug I've missed for the past three years.
"Just one question." He said into my hair, "why did you keep the necklace?" He asked me.
"Because I love you." I replied then whispered in his ear, "I also have your Dawn of the Dead top still." I couldn't help but giggle.
"I want the top back." He smiled at me.
"You'll have to fight me for it." I smirked at him and in return his smile got bigger.
"Believe me, I plan on doing so." With that he kissed me again - this time more urgent than the last.
"Belle please take him back to yours or Mikey take her to your hotel room." Frank said walking out of the room with Gerard behing him laughing.
"Where we going then Belle?" He asked pulling away from me and looking down at me with happiness in his gorgeous brown eyes.
"Which ever." I answered smiling as he pulled me outside and into a taxi dropping somebody else off.
