Part 2: Trouble In So Called Paradise


It’s a cold March Sunday and Mikey and Frank are hanging out in Mikey’s room listening to music. Apparently Gerard had decided to blow off their original plans to hang with Pete for once. It honestly annoyed the shit out of Frank because he knew Gerard wasn’t going to have any fun. He just couldn’t div it out. For the 7 months that he had been hanging around he still hadn’t divd out the intricate details of Gerard and Pete’s relationship.

He mostly divd that was due to the fact that the couple never hung out together with Mikey and Frank around. Either way he couldn’t grasp the attraction between them; if there was any real attraction at all. From what he had seen Pete was a really shitty boyfriend. He and Gerard had been together for almost two years but they didn’t even seem close, let alone affectionate. Gerard even seemed shy around him. More shy than usual. Sometimes he even appeared to flinch when Pete would to touch him. It bugs Frank. It bugs him enough that he finally brings it all up to Mikey.

“So what is they’re deal?” asks Frank curious.

“Who,” Mikey looks at him blankly.

“Pete and Gerard,” Frank clarifies casually.

Mikey purses his lips in a frown. “Pete’s an asshole who doesn’t deserve my brother, but my brother is too scared to break up with him.”

“Why is he scared?” Frank asks the question but isn’t totally sure he is prepared for the answer.

“Pete’s an abusive prick that’s why,” Mikey spits. Frank is astonished.

“So, he like hits him and shit?” His blood is boiling at the very thought of it. He could never do that to Gerard.

“Used to,” Mikey states. “But I put a stop to that.”
Frank stares at him. Before he can even ask Mikey is explaining everything. He knows how Frank feels for his brother and so he thinks he deserves to know the truth.

Gerard and Pete had met at the beginning of the last school year at a party when Pete moved to town. Pete had seemed charming at the time and he had flirted with Gerard relentlessly until he had agreed to go out with him. In the beginning they had seemed really happy. Then Mikey stared noticing odd changes in Gerard. He spent less time at home; he was moody and would cry at the drop of a hat for seemingly no reason. Then there was the makeup. It was about six months into the relationship and Gerard began wearing more make up than usual; foundation and lots of it.

Mikey started having suspicions but had no solid proof, until one morning when he went to wake up Gerard for school. To his surprise and horror Gerard had been up early…and trying to cover a black eye. He had tried desperately to hide it from Mikey but when he noticed it any way Gerard had broken down crying and had begged Mikey not to tell their mom.

“I was so pissed off,” Mikey told Frank. “I cornered him in the bathroom at school and held a pocket knife to his throat. I told him if he touched my brother again I’d string him up by his dick.”

Frank raised his eyebrows in shock. “Whoa…did…did it help?”

“Gerard doesn’t wear anything but eyeliner now so yeah,” Mikey says, and Frank doesn’t ask any more questions. He’s heard more than enough.

He stays and hangs out a little while longer until it’s time for him to get home. “See you later Mikey,” he says waving as he leaves the room. Mikey waves back without looking up at him.

Frank goes home and crawls into bed thinking about Gerard more desperately than usual and wishing that he could help make everything better.


Gerard felt guilty about ditching Frank and Mikey but he was determined to be a good boyfriend and please Pete. Pete might be an asshole sometimes but deep down he loved Gerard. Plus Gerard didn’t have to be alone and single.
He smiled. Pete would be so surprised to see him. He never ditched Mikey and Frank to hang out with him. It was going to be really a good day.

When he got to Pete’s house he just let himself in. Pete’s parents worked odd ours so they were hardly ever home. Pete was probably the only person in the house and so Gerard just headed for his room, knowing that is where he would most likely find him.

If he hadn’t been so deep in his day dreams about how that day was going to go he might have noticed that something wasn’t right. Shirts lying in the hallway and low moans coming through the crack in the bed room door should have been a dead giveaway. Gerard just rationalized it as Pete watching porn. He did that when he was feeling pent up or frustrated sometimes.

Gerard just pushed the door open and walked in. It was a mistake. A huge mistake and he instantly wished he were blind. Pete was setting on the edge of the bed leaning back on his hands; eyes closed tightly. He was moaning softly. Everything seemed to be in slow motion and unreal as he noticed that the reason for his boyfriend’s pleasure was the fact that Brendon Urie was kneeling between his legs. He looked like was really enjoying all the hard work Pete had him doing too.

When his voice finally found him he was yelling. “What the fuck Pete?!” he shrieked. Pete’s eyes fly open. He narrowly dodges a glass ashtray that Gerard chucked at him from across the room. It collides with the wall behind him and shatters into a million pieces.

Branden sits watching the scene from the floor looking stupid. Pete shoves him to the side, yanks up his pants and runs down the hallway to catch Gerard who is storming out. He grabs his arm as he catches up. “Wait,” he says low and desperate. His voice is a wreck. Gerard is disgusted as he pictures all the reasons his boyfriend’s voice is probably all fucked up sounding.

“Let go!” he shouts. “Don’t fucking touch me!”

“What are you even doing here babe?” Pete questions.

“Was going to spend time with you, but seeing as you already have enough company I’m going home.” Gerard yells loudly. He can’t control it. All his normal fear toward Pete is replaced with scorching rage. Never in his life has he wanted to hit someone like he wants to hit Pete right now.

Gerard yanks his arm out of Pete’s grip, walks away, and stops at the back door. “I’ll text later when I’ve calmed down,” he whispers over his shoulder. He doesn’t give Pete a chance to answer. Just exits the house, slamming the door behind him.

Gerard’s resolve not to shed a tear holds up all the way home and all the way down to his basement bed room. In fact he is feeling perfectly fucking peachy and then he feels a hand on his shoulder.

It’s Mikey. “Gerard what’s wrong. You seem really upset. You slammed the door and walked right past me when you came in.”

Gerard cracks like an egg under the pressure and tears rush out intense and hot.

“The fucker cheated on me Mikes. I walked in on them,” he sobbed.

“What?! Who with?” Mikey asks. He sounds livid.

“Brendon. From school…” Gerard cries harder and Mikey just pulls him in close, petting his hair.

Mikey doesn’t say anything for a long time, then speaking softly he lets Gerard know how he feels. “I think you should dump the prick.” He pauses, takes a deep breath and adds quickly, “But if you do decide to stay…I won’t judge you.”

Gerard nods against his brother’s chest. Once he falls asleep Mikey tucks him in and heads upstairs. He pulls out his phone and taps out a new message to Frank.

‘More trouble in so called paradise’ it reads. Frank and Mikey had come up with this as a code way of saying that Pete and Gerard were on the rocks or that an impending blow up was on the way. Frank’s response was fast and short. ‘Fuck…’ was all it said.

Mikey agreed. School was going to suck tomorrow.
