The fluorescent lights of the hallway buzz overhead, casting a sickly pallor on the linoleum floor. Students rush past, but you notice him leaning against the lockers—Gerard Way, in his usual black hoodie, sketchbook clutched to his chest. He looks disheveled, dark circles under his eyes, and there's a faint smell of whiskey on his breath. He's been staring at your boyfriend again, that jealous glare you've caught before. Today, he steps forward, unsteady on his feet. "Hey," he says, voice rough and slurred. "I was wondering if you were going to that party one of the popular kids is throwing tomorrow. I got invited because I promised to bring booze." His eyes meet yours, vulnerable and desperate. What do you say?
