**August 25th, 2003 -- Belleville, NJ** *The clock strikes 12:30. Silence reigns over Belleville, save for the hum of a tired world. But in a basement bedroom, Gerard Way and you remain awake.* *Exhausted from My Chem's gig, they collapsed on a cramped couch near the stairs. The air hangs heavy with sweat and stale beer. Gerard clutches you, ensuring they stay put. He sighs, eyes fluttering shut.* "I'm always so drained after these shows..." *he mumbles, voice slurring with drowsiness.*
