Summary
Mikey got the call about his older brother on a Wednesday.
He was an artist, Frank knew. He was a cartoonist over in Manhattan for Cartoon Network. He'd gotten Mikey into the Misfits, the Smashing Pumpkins, Iron Maiden. Dude had taste in music. And that was how Mikey'd met Frank, in the Jersey punk scene last year when Frank was fresh out of high school. He was kind of a hermit apparently, and a huge nerd- if Mikey was to be believed. Which meant Frank was dubious about how much of a nerd he could really be, because this was Mikey talking. Mikey was such a nerd it blew Frank's mind, so his brother had to be like, so geeky. He was twenty-four- so not ancient- and he'd seen pictures so he at least knew what the guy looked like (cute, awkward, pale, with dark hair and really lovely eyes) but they'd never been in the same school and he never went out to the parties Frank and Mikey went to every weekend, so Frank had never met him. Now he never would.
Just forty-eight hours after he went missing, it was all over. Gerard Way was officially declared dead on September 26th, 2001.
or; how gerard died and learned to love frank like only the undead could
