Chapter 77
“That’s fucking amazing!” He said as I came closer. “What’s going on Mikey?” I asked. Gerard ran up to me and pulled me into a hug; “What-“Umbrella Academy has been nominated for an Eisner Award” Mikey said interrupting me with a big smile on his face. In case you don’t know, the Eisner is like the Oscar Award of the Comic Book Industry; yeah serious shit. I was so happy for Gerard; and Gabriel as well. “Holy shit!” I yelled as I hugged Gerard tightly. “Congratulations honey” I said as he set me down and kissed me. “Why are you here Mikey? I mean, aren’t you supposed to be in Jersey?” Gerard asked frantically. “As soon as Gabriel told me I booked the first flight here” he said. “Oh sweet man!” Gerard said as he hugged his brother tightly. “You deserve it Gerard. You really do” he said as they hugged. I couldn’t help but ‘Aww’ at their brotherly love. “Get over here” Mikey said extending the hug. I freaking love the Way family; always inviting me into their family hugs. Although technically I’m a Way; I hadn’t really realized that until now, it’s like it has finally sunk in that I finally have a huge family that love me.
I ran over and hugged them both, “Let’s go get shit DONE!” Gerard yelled with his hands in the air as he walked through Mikey and I’s arms. I looked over at Mikey and received the same confused look as I was making. We both shrugged and laughed then Mikey threw his arm around me, “I freakin love you Mikey boy.” I said with a smile. He’s the nicest brother-in-law ever. “I couldn’t ask for a better sister-in-law” he said as he messed up my hair. I wined and fixed my hair while he laughed at me as we made our way back to the house.
*Gerard’s POV*
I stood, dazed and oblivious to sound, cradling a very important hunk of metal, and wondering one thing: what the hell were we going to do now? It’s that answer to that question that always makes me smile. (A/N: this is a direct quote from Dallas :3)
I was standing outside an upper level of the San Diego Convention Center; accompanied by my wife, brother, family, and friends. I had just won the Eisner Award; and the metal to prove it sat in my arms. I stared off into the distance and thought about the comic. With no track of time I was pulled from my thoughts by Mikey, “Hey, were taking off. Let’s go” he said lightly with a smile painted on his face. I came back to my senses a little and noted that my cigarette was completely useless at this point seeing as how I had smoked it all. He held the door open for me while I clutched onto the award; to be greeted by my wonderful wife. I smiled and took her hand in mine; she seemed rather surprised that I held her hand then leaned on my arm as we continued to walk.
The day was an emotional filled ride; by this point all I wanted was to get to the nearest sketch pad and draw out the next issue. I don’t remember getting in a car, but by this point I looked up to see the road in front of me. To my left, Diana was driving. She smiled at me and then proceeded to turn the radio on.
Once home, I took my jacket off and threw it somewhere then went to my room and fell into bed; everything went black.
