Just as a forewarning this chapter is kinda disturbing, and yeah it's een through your point of view, so you are the main character, so everything that the character is saying and stuff, that's bascially you even though I gave the main character a name, Bree. Umm yeah, this part is kinda disturbing alittle and Gerard doesn show up until I wanna say the 3rd or 4th chapter, but after that he's consistantly in the story, I promise!
Chapter 1 Drip…drip…drip…the blood pooled on the floor. Hot, salty tears mixed in. Numb pains shot through the flesh. Gazing into the razorblade as if sliced across the veins of your wrist, watching more blood to pour out onto the cool, tiled floor around you. ‘Bree come out, please I’m begging you,’ a voice yelled through the door. They banged on the door three times, no use the door was locked. Stroking the razor across the flesh one more time, glancing at the bottle of liquor tipped on its side empty. Slowly things became fuzzy. ‘Bree I’m getting the key,’ the voice on the other side of the door threatened. The colors started to swirl around and soon things went black. The last sound was the bathroom door cracking open.
Bright lights stung your eyes when you slowly opened them. ‘Ah, Miss. Harmony, you’re awake. Good. How are you feeling,’ a woman dressed in a white over coat with a file in her hand, said. She had dark brown hair to her shoulders, thing plastic black framed glasses with a smile on her face. You looked at her, the room was slightly still spinning. ‘Where am I,’ you asked still rather out of it. ‘The hospital dear,’ the woman said. ‘Who are you,’ you said. A stinging pain shot through your wrist, you winced. ‘I would be Dr. Mariah. And you, Bree have been in here for 3 days already. Suicide, was it?’ You closed your eyes and swallowed back tears with a small nod of a yes. ‘That was what we figured. Considering the amount of alcohol content in your system and the number of cuts along your arms. Your mother is here, along with your brother, Jeff. Would you like me to go get them,’ the woman asked. ‘Yes,’ you say softly. The woman left, you looked around the room and saw all the monitors hooked up to you. The two needles pricked into the top of your hand and one at the bend of your arm. You looked at your bandaged wrists and forearms. ‘What did I do,’ you thought.
‘It’s over Alex!’ you yelled. ‘Bree, I’m sorry, she was nothing. I swear to you , she didn’t mean anything to me!’ he tried apologizing. ‘Don’t give me that shit! We’ve been together 6 months and I find out that you’ve been sleeping with that slut the whole time! You said you loved me, clearly you don’t,’ you yelled back at him. You ripped the bracelet off your wrist and threw it at him. ‘Give this to your precious slut, Stella! I’m sure she’ll love it,’ you yelled. Tears glazed over your eyes and slowly starting falling down your cheeks. Alex looked down at the bracelet, which fell on the pavement at his feet, he picked it up and put it in his pocket. ‘Bree, please, I’m sorry,’ he said and began to walk towards you. You looked at him, disgusted, ‘get away from me! There is nothing you can do or say to fix this! It’s over Alex, we’re through!’ With that said you started walking away, which turned into a jog and then into a fast sprint. You ran home and upstairs to your room. ‘Why? Why me? Why is it always me,’ you yelled into a pillow, still crying. You got up and stumbled to the door and walked downstairs to the cabinet where your mother always kept the liquor, you found the key and opened the door and grabbed a bottle of vodka. You took off the cap and sat at the table and wrote down your final good byes. ‘I’m done with this life! I can’t take this anymore, everything in this world turned around and stabbed me in the back, well that’s it, I’m done here,’ you thought. Tears staining the piece of paper, you finished the letter and ran and locked yourself in the bathroom. You chugged down the bottle of vodka and reached for the razor that sat at the edge of the tub. Slowly you sliced it across your wrists, getting closer and closer to the end of your life. Blood pooled on the floor as if flowed out of your skin. You glanced at the vodka bottle and then back at your wrists, continuing to cut until you heard banging on the door. A voice yelled for you to come out, you ignored them and kept going. You passed out on the ground.
‘Hi sweetie, how are you feeling,’ you heard your mothers voice say softly. You looked at her and a small tear rolled down your cheek. ‘Oh sweetie, don’t cry. You’re okay, you’re gonna be okay.,’ she said and pulled you into her arms. ‘Mommy,’ you sobbed, ‘I’m so sorry, I am, I really am.’ ‘Shhh, it’s alright dear. You’re better now. The doctor said you can go home in a couple of hours,’ she said softly, stroking her fingers through your hair. You sniffled and wiped away the last of your tears, ‘there that’s better,’ she said. ‘Mommy, who found me,’ you asked. ‘Sweetie, we can talk about that later. Right now, you need to eat and you need your rest. I’ll have the nurse bring in something for you to eat. Then when you’re done, they can unhook everything from you and you can come home with me and Jeff, okay?’ You nodded, you wondered who it was that found you. Everything was so fuzzy you couldn’t remember. Maybe it was Jeff or maybe it was Stephanie? You let the thought go when the nurse brought in the gross hospital food. Even though it was gross, you hadn’t eaten in 3 days, so it was the best thing you were going to get, and you didn’t even really taste the food, it wasn’t in your mouth long enough. Once you finished whatever it was they gave you, the nurse came in and took out the needles that were pricked into your skin. She took off the monitors and helped you out of the bed. She handed you some clothes that your mother had brought for you. You slipped on the pair of jeans, the black tank top, and black hoodie she brought for you, along with your black converse shoes. You walked out of the hospital room and was directed to the waiting room where you met your mother and your older brother Jeff. You didn’t say anything when you saw them. Jeff wrapped his arms around you in a big bear hug, ‘how’s my little Bree holding up?’ ‘Better,’ you said softly. He held his arm around you as you all walked back out to the car. You sat in the back seat and laid your head on the window, silent the entire way home. You mom pulled into the driveway 20 minutes later. ‘We’re home sweetie,’ she said softly. You looked at her and nodded and unbuckled your seatbelt and got out of the car and went upstairs into your room. You picked up your sketch pad and started drawing.

Gerard still isn't in this one, he's coming though, with in the next 2 chapters or so, if my memory is correct!lol!
Chapter 2 [/u][/b]
You looked at the sketch in front of you. A red heart, bleeding with swords sticking out of it. Roses with ivy vines snaked along the edges of the page. At the bottom of the page was a broke heart with the name ‘Alex’ written in it, a pool of blood beneath the heart. At the top of the page above the main heart you wrote a quote that you came up with , ‘what’s life like bleeding on the floor?’ You smiled at your creation. It was the last page of your sketch book. Your mom bought it for you right before you and Alex started dating. Everything you drew in there had some meaning to it, mainly the times you had spent with Alex. ‘This novel is complete, it’s time to move on,’ you thought. You flipped through a few pages, some made you smile, while others made you cry, like the one you drew right after your first fight. A girl and a boy with their backs to one another, the girl crying in her hands while the guy looked down at his feet. You glanced over at the clock, it was already 11pm. A soft knock was at the door and the knob turned. Your eyes met with two soft blue ones, with blond hair and a large football player built body attached. A timid smile played on his lips. ‘Hey, how’s my little sis doing,’ he asked. ‘Hi Jeff,’ you said and closed your sketch book. He walked over and sat down next to you on your bed. He pulled you into a hug, ‘come on, talk to me. You’ve been locked up here in your room since we got home. Mom and I are worried about you.’ You didn’t want to talk about it, neither of them knew about what happened with Alex or the pain you have gone through over the past two years since your dad died. A small tear rolled down your cheek. ‘What happened Bree? Why did you want to leave,’ he asked. ‘I...I… I couldn’t take it anymore,’ you stuttered. ‘What pushed you over the edge,’ Jeff questioned. You picked up the sketch book and handed it to him, he turned to the last page, the drawing you just drew. He looked at it and then his eyes glanced down to the bottom of the page, you could see the anger in his eyes. ‘He’s the reason you did this Bree? Alex,’ he said quietly but extremely pissed. You looked away and another tear stole its way down your cheek. ‘What did he do to you? Did he hit you? Did he say something to you? What did he do Bree,’ Jeff asked a thousand questions at once. ‘He cheated on me. He’s been fucking Stella for the past 4 months and now she is pregnant,’ you explained. Jeff knew Stella, she was the school whore, you could say. Jeff actually fell into her seduction trap once, last fall right after the big football game verses Hawthorne. They were at a party, that you didn’t attend to, you preferred to hang low at your best friend Stephanie’s house instead that night. Well anyways, Stella managed to pull Jeff into her trap and got him drunk enough to do some things Jeff will always regret. He’s hated her ever since, and even more now that she has hurt you too. It was one thing for her to hurt him, but now his baby sister, he couldn’t stand for this. He pulled you back close into his arms and held you tightly. ‘Don’t worry Bree, we’ll figure things out. Everything will be okay,’ Jeff said. He kissed you on the forehead and left your room.
‘We’re moving,’ your mother said. ‘What’ you exclaimed. ‘What do you mean we’re moving?!’ ‘Sweetie, it’d be better for all of us if we moved. It’s still early in the summer, you’ll still have time to make new friends and settle in before your senior year starts,’ you mother tried explaining. ‘But I don’t want to move,’ you exclaimed. ‘Bree, think about it. After everything that has happened here do you really want to stay here? Besides, it’s not like we’re moving that far, just to Newark in New Jersey,’ Jeff tried calming you down. ‘New Jersey? Why are we going to New Jersey, why can’t we just stay here,’ you asked. ‘Jeff got accepted into a college in New Jersey, and I thought it would be best if we moved with him. We have a house already set up there, all the papers are signed,’ she explained. ‘No one asked me if I wanted to move! What about my friends? What am I supposed to tell them?’ You stopped for a minute to catch your breath and relax your heart rate. ‘When are we moving,’ you finally asked. ‘The end of the week, Friday to be exact,’ Jeff answered. It was already Wednesday, ‘Two days! That’s it! How am I supposed to pack in two days?’ ‘Easy, start now babe,’ Jeff said plainly and shrugged his shoulders. You watched him leave the room and head upstairs to finish his packing. Your mother walked over to you and kissed you on the cheek, ‘trust me sweetie, this is all for the better. I have a good feeling about this,’ she whispered and walked upstairs to pack up what was left to pack up there. You slowly made your way up to your room, Jeff stuck his head out the door from his room, ‘hey you’re going to need some boxes, I have extras,’ he said and handed them to you. You mumbled a, ‘thanks’ and headed to your room. You looked around, now where to start. The walls, you carefully took down each poster of your favorite bands and carefully rolled them up and put them in cardboard tubes that you had when you bought them. You got that kind of stuff for cheap at the art supplies store, you worked there for a couple months and even though you had to quit they still were nice and gave you discounts on a lot of things. You slid each poster into its own separate tube and labeled it. You piled them up in the corner and began with your dresser. You took down the old pictures of you and your friends. You already tore out the pictures of you and Alex this morning after breakfast and made a small bon fire in the back yard and burned everything that you had, old pictures of the two of you, stuffed animals he got you, his favorite shirt you never gave back to him, and other miscellaneous things. You still kept one thing though, a ring he gave you on your birthday last month. It was a pretty sterling silver ring with your birthstone in the center shaped as a heart. ‘Too pretty to destroy,’ you said and stuffed it into your pocket. Once you got everything that was on top of your dressers you cleared out the drawers and your two closets full of clothes. You were a gothic punk type of girl. Most of your wardrobe consisted of black and not much else. You packed everything up except for a couple things to get you through the last couple days of the week and the day after you move in. You hauled it all downstairs by the garage door, ready for it to be thrown into the moving truck when it arrives Friday morning.
‘Steph, I need to talk to you,’ you said through the phone speaker. ‘What about,’ she asked. ‘Can we meet, at the park,’ you asked. ‘Yeah sure, I’ll be there in a few minutes babe,’ she said and hung up. You grabbed your hoodie and threw your cell phone and house key into your hoodie front pocket and made your way quickly to the park. A cold rainy wind stung your skin, even though it was June, you still got cold spells sometimes in New York. ‘Damn rainy weather,’ you muttered under your breath. You spotted the park, there sat a girl on one of the set of two swings. She rocked back and forth slowly, looking at her feet. Her bright red hair hung over her face, masking her light skin, dark eyeliner, and bright green eyes. You saw her bright pink and black jacket stick out like a sore thumb, her black pants and bright pink converse to match. You slowly walked next to her and sat down on the swing beside her. ‘Hey,’ you said softly. ‘Hey,’ she answered. ‘What did you call me here to talk about Bree,’ she asked. ‘Steph, I’m moving,’ you said softly and looked at the house across the street. It had been abandoned for years and you and Steph used to sneak into to see if it was really haunted like all the stories said, but after you guys got older it wasn’t scary anymore so you would use it as a place to go hang out when you both needed to get away from the house. ‘When? Where,’ she asked confused. ‘Newark, and I’m leaving the day after tomorrow, early in the morning. That’s why I called you today to tell you,’ you explained. ‘Why are you moving,’ she asked. ‘Jeff got accepted into a college in New Jersey, and after everything that has happened here, my mom thinks it would be best if we moved. She’s right though, I don’t think I could handle going to school here, seeing Alex everyday, who knows what it could lead me to do, ya know?’ ‘Aw Bree, I’m sorry. I’m going to miss you so much,’ she said with a tear rolling down her cheek, which caused a few to roll down yours. ‘I know Steph, I’m going to miss you so much too. I don’t know how I’m going to make it in a new school without you,’ you said. You both got up off the swings and hugged each other for what felt like forever. You heard a rumble in the sky, you held each other. The rain started to down pour on both of you, you couldn’t tell the difference between tears and rain drops. You both became soaking wet, ‘I take it, that this is good bye,’ Steph said. ‘No not good bye, see ya later. We’ll see each other, I promise,’ you assured her. ‘Good, I don’t know what I’d do without you Bree,’ she said and gave you one last hug. You both looked down at the ground when you broke away and then headed off back on your separate ways to your own homes.

Chapter 3[/u][/b]
‘Wake up Bree,’ you heard, then all of a sudden your whole body felt cold. The sheets had been stripped from your body, you felt around with your eyes closed, hoping to find something to cover yourself back up with and fall back asleep. All of a sudden you felt yourself get tipped and rolled onto the floor. ‘Jeff,’ you moaned. ‘What? Mom said to wake you, so like the big brother that I am, I’m waking you. It’s not my fault I had to use drastic measures to get you up. Now come on, movers are going to be here in an hour and we need to get a few last things packed away. Come on! Up...up…up!’ You heard him leave your room and close your door. ‘I’m the big brother’ ‘I’m just doing my job’ you mocked to yourself. ‘Big brother my a**,’ you muttered. You walked out of your room and into the bathroom, you brushed through your hair and pulled it up into a pony tail and washed your face. You put on your make up, just eyeliner, cover up, and some chap stick. You sighed and walked back into your room, you threw on a pair of jeans, a red tank top and your black converse. You looked yourself over and went down to the kitchen for a quick bowl of cereal. You figured if you didn’t move fast, mom and Jeff would be all over your case to help. You pulled out a throw away bowl and a plastic spoon and grabbed the cereal box. Just about empty, ‘great,’ you said and rolled your eyes. ‘Hurry up,’ Jeff exclaimed. You jumped at the sound of his voice, ‘oh hold on, I gotta eat first, don’t want me to pass out on ya because I didn’t eat. Now would ya,’ you snapped. He gave a heavy sigh and went back to helping your mom. You sat down at the table and poured your cereal, what was left of it, along with the milk. You finished it and threw out the bowl and spoon. ‘Good, now we can take down the table,’ your mom said. You gave a fake smile. You glanced out the window, the sun was barely up, you groaned to yourself. ‘Come on, help me take this table apart, the movers are going to be here soon,’ you mom said. You helped her tip the table over while Jeff got the last of the stuff packed. Once the table was set away, you helped move the last of the boxes outside to the driveway. ‘Thank goodness it isn’t raining, that would be horrible to drive in,’ your mom said and brushed off some dirt that was on her shirt. ‘Yeah, good thing,’ you said softly. She put a hand on your shoulder, ‘Aw don’t worry baby, Newark is a wonderful place, you’ll meet a whole bunch of new people. Things won’t be so bad.’ ‘Yeah, quit your complaining Bree,’ you heard Jeff yell from the garage. You gave him a dirty look, ‘shut up Jeff!’ He acted like he didn’t hear you. No more than 20 minutes later the moving truck was here and almost everything was packed in. Jeff helped put the last couple of boxes in the truck and you guys were on your way to your new home. The whole way there, you kept your iPod glued into your ears, you didn’t want to talk to Jeff or your mom. You wanted to keep to yourself. You laid down in the back seat and just zoned out to your music.
Your mom drove ahead of the moving truck, at first you thought she got lost, but since Jeff was the mastermind at finding places he helped her find the right address. You felt like you were driving forever, you looked down at your watch, correction, you were driving forever. ‘Are we there yet,’ you moaned. ‘Another 5 minutes sweetie,’ your mom said. ‘alright mom, take a right up here and we should be down the right block,’ Jeff said. Your mom turned and slowly drove down the street looking for the right address, she found it and pulled into the drive way of a two story house. It looked nice, the neighborhood looked nice too. ‘Maybe I will be able to make some friends after all,’ you thought. ‘Come on you, get out of the car and help us unload the truck,’ Jeff said through the window. You groaned and got out of the car. For 3 hours you guys put stuff in the house. You decided to wander upstairs to pick out which room would be yours. Obviously your mom got the one with the bathroom, so you decided to pick out the next biggest. It was bigger than your old room, it had a nice big window too. 2 closets , plus high ceiling with a skylight too. ‘Cool, I could get used to this room,’ you said. The walls were bare white and the floors were a deep cherry red. ‘You can paint the room how ever you like sweetie,’ you heard your mom say. You turned around and saw her leaning at the door frame. ‘Aw man, she picked the big one didn’t she,’ you heard Jeff moan. ‘Oh get over it! You’re going to college, you won’t be around much anyways, deal with it,’ you yelled. ‘Shut up,’ you heard Jeff say from down the hall. You mom just laughed. ‘We can go to the paint store tomorrow and you can pick out what ever colors you want , I don’t care,’ she said. ‘Really? Cool, thanks mom,’ you said and hugged her. You knew how you wanted the room to look, and with your artistic skills, it should be really easy to do, as long as Jeff doesn’t come in and interrupt.
So what colors did you pick out,’ your mom asked. You had 3 large cans of paint, 2 small cans, and a couple different size pain brushes. ‘Well the 3 big cans are, black, red, and gray, and the 2 small cans are white and green,’ you said. ‘Oh wait I forgot something,’ you say and run off down the spray paint isle, ‘Ah yes there it is!’ You grabbed a can of glitter spray paint along with a spray of gloss. You ran back to the cart and put them in. ‘All set,’ your mom asked. You nodded. ‘Alright, lets go buy this and then you can get started on that room of yours,’ she said. You checked out and when you got home you quickly ran upstairs and placed down all the drop cloths and got straight to work. You sat up in there for 3 days straight, you wanted it to be just right. You left the ceilings as they were, you didn’t have the proper supplies for those yet, but the walls were beautiful. You made the walls all black and then did a boarder at the top of the wall. The background was the gray, and you painted roses that connected to each other by vines. It turned out beautifully. You then painted red stars on the walls with the glitter on the stars. It turned out great! You waited until after dinner to show your mom and Jeff. Your mom absolutely loved it, and Jeff he thought it was cool too. Your mom went back downstairs and unpacked the last of the boxes before going to bed. Jeff lingered in the door way, ‘you know, you should go into art, you’re really good.’ ‘Thanks,’ you said. ‘Well, night,’ Jeff said, yawned and then walked down to his room. ‘night,’ you said and closed your door.
The paint was finally dry and you could finally redecorate your room. You hated your old furniture set, you had it since you were 6 years old, you were going onto 18 once the winter hit, it was time for an up grade. ‘Mommy,’ you said like a little girl. She eyed you, ‘what?’ ‘Can we buy new furniture for my room,’ you asked in the sweetest voice. ‘Yeah sure, I guess. The stuff you have is old and doesn’t go with your room. We can go out in a little bit, I just have to finish organizing a couple things, okay,’ she agreed. ‘YAY! Thank you mom,’ you said and kissed her on the cheek. Later on you went to the furniture store and found a whole new dresser and desk set with a full length mirror to match, it was all black of course, with rose handles. They had a bed frame that went with it too. You were able to take the bed frame set back home but the furniture you had to wait for, it was going to be delivered the next day. Your mom drove back into the driveway and as you got out of the car, you saw two guys who looked to be about your age, walking by. One guy had blondish brown hair with glasses, he was skinny and dressed in jeans and a t-shirt with a jean jacket. The other guy, wore all black, he had black hair and really pale skin. You looked at him and he looked back and smiled. The other kid looked and gave a goofy wave, but they kept on walking. You watched as they walked down the street and around the corner. You couldn’t help but smile, ‘I wonder who they were? Maybe I’ll end up going to school with them,’ you thought. ‘Uh, sweetie, can you help me here with this,’ you heard your mom say. ‘Oh yeah, sorry,’ you said and helped her get your best set up to your room. The rest of the night you couldn’t stop thinking about those two guys, mainly the guy in all black. You thought you two might have a lot in common, and he had the most adorable smile. ‘Stop it Bree, you don’t even know him,’ you told yourself. You had Jeff put your bed together, since you really had no clue how to do it, you heard him call you up stairs. You run up and stand in the door way. ‘So where do you want it,’ he asked. ‘Um, along the wall, in that kind of cut out section. It should fit in there,’ you said and pointed. ‘Alright, now help me move it there,’ Jeff said. You got around to the other side and helped him put the bed into place, ‘perfect,’ you said. Jeff took a deep breath, nodded at you and left your room. You managed to get your mattress on the bed frame and put the new sheets on it too. You glanced over at the clock and yawned. You changed into your pajama pants and a tank top and crept into bed. ‘Maybe I’ll see those guys again tomorrow,’ you thought right before you drifted off to sleep with a small smile turned on your lips.

I believe Gerard is sorta active in this one, can't remember really, it's beena while since I've read these chapters, lol! Enjoy!
Chapter 4 [/b][/u]
You woke up with the sun light blaring into your eyes. You groaned and rolled over in your bed and faced the wall and pulling the covers over your head. You heard your door creak open, you closed your eyes to appear to still be asleep. You heard footsteps come closer to you, they were too heavy to be your moms which meant they were Jeff’s. You felt him poke the back of your shoulder, ‘Bree,’ he said softly. He smiled and then pulled the covers off your bed. ‘Bree,’ he shouted right in your ear. You rolled over and punched him hard in the shoulder. ‘You jerk,’ you snapped. He shrugged it off, ‘Mom wants you to get up.’ ‘Why,’ you said, giving him a cold glare. ‘School registration,’ he said. ‘It’s only June,’ you said. ‘Don’t ask me, I guess they want to get you settled in early and do all that other stuff they have to do with new students, I don’t know. But come on, UP,’ he said and walked out of your room, closing the door. You moaned and fell back down on the bed. Your head hit the pillow and you let out a sigh. Then the memory of yesterday floated into your head, the two guys, the one that gave you the goofy wave and the other one all dressed in black. ‘Maybe I’ll see them today,’ you thought.
You waited at the side of your mother in the high school’s office waiting to be called in for your meeting with the principle, Principle Treasurer. You glanced at the clock, you’ve been waiting there for 20 minutes already. ‘Mom, how long is this going to take?’ ‘Not too long, just filling out the last of your forms and then your tour around the school. They already have most of the information from your other school,’ she explained. Well that was a relief. After a few more minutes a tall, broad man with dark brown hair that looked like a crappy version of Trumps comb over , walked out of the office and in your direction. ‘Ah, Bree Harmony, correct,’ he asked as he walked over, you and your mom stood up, he put out his hand and you shook it, ‘yes that would be me.’ ‘Welcome to Belleville High, why don’t you step into my office and we can get the last bit of information and give you the grand tour of your new school.’ You nodded and you and your mom followed Principle Treasurer into his office, he walked behind his desk and sat down in his chair. You and your mom took a seat in the 2 chairs on the other side of the desk. He opened up a file on his desk, which must have been yours. You never did anything at your old school that got you in trouble so you knew you had a clean slate on there. ‘So I see you took honors classes,’ he pointed out. ‘Yes, I did,’ you answered. He nodded his head, ‘along with multiple art classes as well.’ ‘All the classes you have taken already will transfer here, so you won’t have to retake anything, same as your art classes,’ he explained. For the next hour you listened to his boring voice go on and on about the school and it’s excellence, you really didn’t care. Finally he said it was time for the tour of the school. You smiled, your legs ached for a moment from sitting for too long. He guided you both around the school, showing you all the different wings and where all the gyms were and such, nothing too amazing. He led you outside to the courtyards and where you could eat for lunch and where was off limits. When he showed you a section that students were not allowed, 3 guys were sitting out there. Two goofing off and another just sitting off to the side minding his own business. One of the guys had a laid down mohawk and was wearing a simple white t-shirt and jeans. From where you were standing you could tell he had his lip and nose pierced. The other guy you recognized from the other day, he was the kid that gave you that goofy wave when he passed by. You took your glance over to the tree where the other guy was sitting, it was him! That guy who you couldn’t get out of your mind since then. ‘ Mr. Franklin Ireo, Mr. Gerard and Michael Way, what are you doing here on school grounds during the summer? You know they are off limits to everyone but the staff! Go home before you get in more trouble than you already are, we’ll deal with your punishments once school begins at the end of August,’ the Principle said. The guys all stopped what they were doing and looked at each other and then back at the Principle. The two that were goofing off were out of there quickly, the other guy that sat under the tree gathered up his things and slowly walked past you, you looked at him and smiled, he gave a small smile back. You watched as he walked away, in his hands was a sketchbook and some shading pencils. ‘Sorry about that, those boys seem to enjoy pushing the limits here, good kids but like to push things right to the edge,’ he sighed. ‘Principle Treasurer,’ you said. ‘Yes Bree,’ he looked at you. ‘That last kid that walked by, is he involved in the art programs here,’ you asked, just kind of curious. ‘Gerard? Yes actually he is, he’s one of our best scholars in the art program, he’s on his was to a good scholarship too,’ he said honestly. You smiled, you now knew his name and knew you had a chance of being in some of his classes too. He led you both back into the school and gave you some information about the school for you to read over, yeah right like you were going to read any of that stuff. You were thankful your mom put you into a public school, there was no way you were going to be wearing a uniform all year! You took all the information with you upstairs and threw it into the garbage can sitting right by your door. ‘They actually expect people to read that nuts? Idiots,’ you muttered. You looked at the clock, it was still early so you set you up lap top and hooked it up to the internet, the cords were already put into place you just had to plug them in, that took you a total of like 5 seconds. You turned it on and signed onto your screen name, CraziBabyBree. You typed in the password and up popped your buddy list. You skimmed down the list of the few people that were on and one of them was thankfully Stephanie, you missed her so much already and you haven’t even been gone a week.
Bandchik123: Hey Bree! How’s the new house thing going? CraziBabyBree: Hey, it’s alright. I miss you so much! Bandchik123: I miss you too babe! It’s so boring around here without you! Bandchik123: OMG! You’ll never guess who I ran into yesterday CraziBabyBree: Who? Bandchik123: Alex CraziBabyBree: Really? Was he with anyone? Bandchik123: He was with Stella. I wanted to kill them both when I saw them together! It was so gross, she’s so ugly and god I don’t know what he sees in her, you are so beautiful and such a sweet girl. I can’t believe he did that to you babe. CraziBabyBree: *sigh* It’s alright. I don’t really think about him anymore actually. Bandchik123: Really? That’s good, don’t waste your time over that loser. Soooo….tell me CraziBabyBree: Tell you what? Bandchik123: Oh come on Bree, surely you’ve seen some hott guys around where you live? You live in f**king Newark, home of the hotties, or so that’s what I’ve heard. So come on, there must be someone you’ve seen there?
Did you really want to tell her about that guy, Gerard, you had seen. ‘Oh what the hell,’ you thought. ‘She’s going to find out sooner or later.’ CraziBabyBree: Well I did see a few guys, one of them was pretty hott. The others were pretty cute too. Bandchik123: Awww my Bree found a hott guy with cute friends! Ooo sorry babe, but mom is b**ching at me to come down for dinner, I’ll ttyl k? Bye! Bandchik123 signed off
You sighed and let out a deep breath and decided to surf around the internet for a bit. Write an entry in your Xanga, (online journal) and then sign off. You did just that. You got up and changed out of your clothes and slipped on a pair of black flannel pants and a white tank top. You went to the bathroom and looked down at your bandages on your arms, they needed to be changed. You slowly unwrapped them, it hurt, the dry blood stuck to your arms and hurt when you trying pulling the terry cloth away from it. A few cuts reopened. You felt relief when your arms felt air touch them again. You winced in pain as a few cuts started to bleed. The memories of that night flooded back to your thoughts, a few stray tears fell from your eyes and rolled down your cheeks. You wiped them away and redressed your arms with clean bandages and headed back to your bed room. You pulled up your sketch book and on the top of the first page in your new sketch book that you convinced your mom to buy, you began drawing. First just a small picture of your new house, ‘Belleville, New Jersey’ written in bold lettering across the top of the page, the name of your new school, and then a name you started to write and didn’t really notice you actually wrote it until you were finished with it. ‘Gerard,’ it said down at the bottom. Yeah, there was something about him that attracted you to him, but you weren’t even sure if he would even bother talking to you. ‘Well, just going to have to see him again and find out for myself,’ you said and shut your sketch book and went to bed for the night.

Gerard definitly shows up the whole time in this one!
Chapter 5 [/b]
You woke up with the sun glaring in your eyes, once again. You groan, ‘that’s it, you win! I’m up, happy you stupid sun! I’m up!’ You rolled yourself out of bed, sitting with your eyes closed for a few moments, trying to convince yourself to wake up. Just as sleep was about to over take you again, you pushed yourself awake and got up, yawned and stretched out. ‘So what shall I do today,’ you asked yourself. On the way to your new house, you remember passing a guitar store, you’ve always been wanting to learn how to play, and have been saving up for a guitar, correction an electric guitar a Fender to be exact. You know the classic, black and white Fender. That one has always appealed to you the most and you were curious to check out the store, ‘heck who knows maybe I’ll see that guy Gerard again.’ You walked over to the bathroom, and decided to shower and clean yourself up for the day. You grabbed a towel from the closet and locked the bathroom door. Last time you left it unlocked, Jeff and his friend walked in and saw you naked, you have never been so horrified in your entire life. Now Jeff makes sure to knock or just wait until you are finished in the bathroom before even stepping within 5 feet of the door. You keep the door locked anyways, just incase. You strip down out of your pajamas and jump into the hot shower. It didn’t take you much longer than 10 minutes to clean up and get out. You dried yourself off, brushed your teeth, blow dried your hair and keeping the towel wrapped around your body, walked back to your room to put on some clothes. You put on a pair of black capri’s , a black Iron Maiden tank top, and your black converse. You straightened out your hair and put on some heavy black eyeliner, powder, and clear lip gloss. You put in some earrings and your guitar pic necklace that your dad gave you. He used to play guitar and he gave you a necklace he had made for you from his first guitar pic, he had always wanted you to start learning but you always were too busy, that is, until now. You gave yourself a one last look over, satisfied you walked down stairs for breakfast. You walked into the kitchen to see Jeff already stuffing his face with every possible thing he could find. You were just happy with a simple bowl of cereal. He looked at you, ‘well look who decided to come out of their grave,’ he joked. ‘Not funny, leave me alone Jeff,’ you snapped. ‘Ooo the corpse talked and is ticked. What did your friend the boogey man wake you,’ he kept it up. You just rolled your eyes and quickly ate through breakfast. ‘Geez, what you got a date or something,’ he said, noticing how fast you were eating. ‘Actually, I’m heading to the guitar store today and to sign up for lessons,’ you said. ‘Do you have the money for a guitar,’ he asked. ‘I only worked my ass off at that shitty CD store all last summer and through the school year, I haven’t spent a penny of that money, I’ve got more than enough and plus some,’ you said. He just gave you a small laugh, you ran upstairs and grabbed your money and ran back downstairs. You remembered that the place was only a couple blocks from your house so you decided to walk.
You walked down the block and passed the park. You saw that kid that waved to you the other day, he noticed you walking by and decided to walk over. ‘Hey, I know you! Didn’t you just move in at the house on the next block over,’ he asked. You stopped walking and looked at him. ‘Yeah, I did,’ you said. ‘Cool, so what’s your name,’ he asked. ‘Bree,’ you said. ‘Cool, I’m Mikey,’ he said. ‘So what year are you, clearly you’re in high school, right,’ he asked. You laughed, ‘No, I’m in junior high,’ you joked. He looked at you confused, you laughed, ‘Yeah I’m in high school, I’ll be a senior this year,’ you assure him. He laughed, ‘Okay, I was gonna say, you look a lot older than a girl in junior high,’ he said. ‘My brother is going to be a senior and yeah I‘m only going to be a sophomore,’ he mentioned and pointed to over his shoulder. He turned slightly and you looked in the direction he was pointing. It was him, Gerard! You held back your excitement, you didn’t want to embarrass yourself, you didn’t even know the guy yet. ‘Hey Gerard,’ Mikey called. Gerard looked up from his sketch book, closed it up and held it in his hand and walked over. ‘Gerard, this is Bree. She is the girl that moved in the house on the block next to ours,’ Mikey explained. ‘Hey didn’t we see you a couple days ago, and yesterday at the school,’ Gerard pointed out. ‘Yeah, that would be me,’ you said. You looked down at his sketch book, it was just a solid black cover with a bunch of band stickers all over the front of it. ‘You draw,’ you ask. ‘What,’ he said and then realized you meant his sketch book, ‘oh yeah, I do.’ ‘Cool,’ you said. He smiled. ‘So where were you headed,’ Mikey asked. ‘Oh yeah, I was headed to the guitar store. Wanted to go buy one and sign up for lessons,’ you told them. ‘Awesome, mind if we join ya? We really have nothing to do and I’ve been meaning to check out the bass guitars myself,’ Mikey asked. ‘No, I don’t mind. You can join me all you like,’ you said showing a smile.
The three of you walked to the guitar store and Mikey pretty much talked the whole way. You noticed from time to time, Gerard was looking at you, you couldn’t help but smile. Mikey was talking aimlessly about some random topic, you weren’t really listening and you could tell Gerard wasn’t listening anymore either. ‘Mikey, what did you eat this morning, pixie sticks,’ Gerard asked him. ‘Oh sorry,’ he said and blushed, ‘I’ll shut up now.’ You and Gerard both laughed. ‘You know I love ya bro, just stop talking a mile a minute, you might scare Bree here away,’ Gerard said and looked at you and gave you a small wink. You smiled and slightly blushed. The three of you finally reached the guitar store, Mikey was the first to enter, then you and Gerard following in after him. Mikey shot right back to the bass guitar section. ‘He’s never going to afford one, he doesn’t have a job so he’s basically broke,’ Gerard laughed. ‘So what kind of guitar were you looking for,’ he asked you. ‘An electric one, a black and white Fender to be exact,’ you said. Gerard scanned the room and saw the electric guitars along the wall in the back, he took your arm and dragged you back. You couldn’t believe what he was doing, and all at the same time butterflies were going crazy in your stomach. He let go of your arm and walked over to the exact one you were looking for, ‘this is the one you wanted?’ You nodded, ‘yep that’d be the one.’ ‘Nice,’ he said, looking it over. He looked at the price tag, ‘whoa kinda pricey,’ he said with a laugh. ‘Yeah I know, I’ve been saving up for over a year,’ you said and looked at the price tag, $600. ‘How much did you manage to save up,’ Gerard asked. ‘Let’s just say I’ve got enough for 5 of these,’ you said and gave him a wink. His jaw just dropped, ‘Damn girl, where the heck did you work?’ ‘Wouldn’t you like to know,’ you joked. His eyes grew wide, you laughed. ‘I worked at a CD store, the pay was great, the job was shit, but hey, I saved up, worked my ass off during those long hours, and see where it got me,’ you said pointing out the guitar. The sales clerk walked over, ‘is there anything I can help you two with?’ ‘Ah yeah, the pretty lady here wants to buy this one,’ Gerard said. You smiled and gave a small blush when he called you a ‘pretty lady.’ ‘Well, bring it up front and I’ll ring it up, get ya the case, and you should be right one your way. Do you want to sign up for lessons,’ the clerk asked. ‘Yeah, I was planning on it,’ you told them. ‘Awesome, lets get you all set up then,’ they said and guided you back to the front of the store. You bought everything, the guitar, the stand. the amp and cords, plus the case and also your lessons. It totaled out to be a lot cheaper than what you would have had to pay back where you used to live. ‘Is there by chance a way that you can hold the amp for me, I didn’t drive,’ you asked. ‘Yeah sure, no problem, what name do you want us to hold it under,’ they asked. ‘Bree,’ you said. ‘Alright Bree, your amp will be waiting for your return, just give the person this slip and you‘ll be right on your way,’ they said. You took the pink ticket and then signed up for lessons, the clerk gave you a list of the teachers and the days they gave lessons. You decided to have lessons on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s with the cheapest one on the list with the name of Frankie. You signed up and heard Mikey run over with a bass guitar in his hands. ‘Gerard! I know which one I want,’ he exclaimed. ‘Mikey, you know you don’t have the money for that, and there is no way mom is going to get you one, remember what happened last time when you asked for those piano lessons. You ended up quitting after one lesson, and she couldn’t get a refund on the lessons, Mikey man, there is no way mom will give into a bass guitar, sorry bro,’ Gerard explained. Mikey gave a pout and gave a glare at Gerard and slowly walked back to where he found it to put it back. ‘Aw, crush his dreams there man,’ you joked. ‘What? It’s the truth,’ Gerard said and shrugged his shoulders. Mikey came back, the clerk put your guitar in it’s case and handed it to you. The clerk handed Gerard the box that held the stand and you guys head back out. ‘Mind coming back to my place to set it up and getting my car to go back and pick up the amp,’ you asked them. Gerard’s face lighted up, and Mikey nodded his head. ‘I take that as a yes then,’ you laughed. ‘You bet,’ Mikey said. Gerard just gave a light laugh. ‘Man he’s so cute,’ you thought, ‘I wonder if we’ll ever be, I mean come on, he’s gorgeous and a really sweet guy.’ Your thoughts were all over the place and Mikey noticed you weren’t paying attention to what he was talking about, he waved his hand in front of your face, ‘Yo earth to Bree, you in there babe?’ You snapped out of if, ‘oh yeah, sorry, go on what were you talking about?’ Mikey just shook his head and kept on talking again as you all continued to walk back to your house.

Chapter 6 [/u][/b]
You, Gerard, and Mikey all finally reached your house. ‘d**n, you have one nice house,’ Mikey pointed out. ‘Thanks,’ you said., ‘come on, I’ll show you where to put this stuff.’ You walked into the house and looked around, Mom wasn’t in sight and neither was Jeff, coast is clear. ‘Yes,’ you mouthed silently to yourself. You opened the door wider for them to come in and follow you upstairs to your room. You made it up the stairs and half way down the hall, Jeff’s door was closed and you couldn’t tell if he was in his room or not. Gerard and Mikey followed you to the end of the hall to your room, your door was closed, you peeked in first, Mom had already cleaned it up and stuff while you were out, that was a relief, you didn’t want these guys to think you were a total pig, even though you pretty much were. You opened up the door wider, just as you did, Jeff opened his bedroom door. ‘Bree,’ you heard him say and walk out of his room. Gerard and Mikey turned around and got wide eyed when they saw him. ‘Yes,’ you said annoyed. He looked at Gerard and Mikey, ‘who are these two?’ ‘Gerard and Mikey, I met them earlier,’ you said. Mikey and Gerard both said, ‘hey,’ in unison to Jeff. Jeff nodded and said ,‘hey.’ Jeff turned his attention back on you, ‘so I see you got your guitar. Mom went to the store for food, she told me to tell you that she’ll be home in a couple of hours and said she’d be home later to take you clothes shopping for school and stuff.’ ‘Yeah, okay. See ya later Jeff,’ you said annoyed. ‘Okay, I get the hint, get lost, got it, I’m out of here anyways. I have to go to a orientation at the school anyways, later,’ he said and walked downstairs. You heard him go out the door and close it, ‘God he can be so annoying,’ you yelled more so to yourself. Gerard and Mikey just laughed. ‘Well, remind me to never get on that guys bad side,’ Mikey laughed. ‘Will do, he’s a football player, he could probably kill you if he wanted to,’ you said with a serious tone. Gerard’s eyes got wide along with Mikey’s. ‘I’m just kidding, well, he is a football player but he won’t kill you, I had to keep him from killing my last boyfriend actually, we moved before he got the chance to,’ you said. ‘So you don’t have a boyfriend,’ Gerard asked. You shook your head, ‘No, the last one cheated on me with some very *friendly* person pregnant dog at my old school, turned out he had been f**king her 4 out of the 6 months we were together, and well, now the very *friendly* person b**ch is pregnant. I dumped his sorry ass,’ you explained all in one breath. ‘Whoa, that’s one f**ked up guy,’ Gerard said. ‘You’re telling me,’ you said. ‘He was a jerk anyways, always pressuring me to do stuff with him, he doesn’t seem to understand the three words, ‘I’m not ready,’ very well. So naturally he f**ked the first girl that would to it with him,’ you stated. ‘So um yeah, this is getting kinda heavy,’ Gerard said, holding the stand box still. ‘Oh yeah, sorry, just put it down over by the bed,’ you told him. He nodded and set it down where you said to. You could tell by the look on his face that he was happy to put that down. You set down your guitar next to the stand box. ‘So shall we go back and get the amp,’ you said more so than ask. ‘Sure lets go,’ Mikey said and began heading back downstairs. Gerard followed behind him and you behind him. You couldn’t help but put a big cheesy smile on your face with Gerard’s back towards you.
Mikey and Gerard stop at the end of the staircase waiting for you to lead them to the car. You walked into the kitchen and grabbed your car keys from the counter and led them into the garage. (It’s a 3 car garage.) You opened the door leading to the garage and then pushed the button to open the main door. Sun light spilled in, which caused all of you to cover your eyes for a moment. On the far side of the garage was your car, 2004 GT Mustang, colored black (that’s the car I want, if you don’t like it, you can pretend you have your favorite car instead, okay?) ‘Sweet,’ Mikey said. ‘Yeah, Sweet 16,’ you said. ‘Awesome, lucky you, my car, piece of crap, still trying to figure out how it runs, but my buddy Ray is helping me fix it up this summer. So basically right now I don’t have a car,’ he explained. ‘So you think the amp is going to fit in the trunk,’ Mikey asked. ‘Most likely not, so it’s going to be sitting in the back seat with you, Mikey,’ you said. Gerard laughed, Mikey gave him a shove in the arm. Gerard threw a shove right back at him, before it could get out of control, ‘ladies ladies please, no pregnant dog fighting by the car. Now you two get in.’ They laughed, ‘shot gun,’ Gerard called. ‘Aw man,’ Mikey moaned. You rolled your eyes and walked around to the drivers seat, they both got in, ‘seat belts on!’ ‘Yes mommy,’ Gerard joked. You laughed and were on your way back to the guitar store. On the way there you hear a cell phone ring, it was Mikey’s, he answered it, ‘hey babe!’ Gerard looked back at him and smiled, ‘Is that Vanessa?’ Mikey just put a hand up to ignore him. Gerard just shook his head, ‘yep it’s the girlfriend.’ After a few minutes Mikey was off the phone, ‘hey Bree would you mind dropping me off at the mall,’ he asked. ‘No problem, but you guys are gonna have to show me how to get there, I’ve only lived here for a week, I’m still trying to figure out where everything is,’ you explained. ‘Yeah sure, no problem,’ Gerard said. You pulled up to the front of the guitar store, gave the clerk your ticket and they put the amp in the back seat with Mikey. ‘Everything you need for it, is in the box. If you find anything wrong with it, just come back and we’ll replace it for no charge. Enjoy,’ they said and you were on your way to the mall to drop off Mikey. After 10 minutes of them giving you all the directions, you finally arrived at the mall, Mikey jumped out and ran inside, ‘later guys, don’t worry, I’ll just call mom to pick me up!’ ‘Later,’ you and Gerard said in unison.
The drive home was rather quiet, which made those butterflies to flutter even more inside your stomach. You managed to get home with out getting lost. You pulled into the driveway of your house and you both got out and managed to get the amp upstairs without killing yourselves. You slid it across the floor in your room, next to the stand. ‘Man that thing is heavy,’ you said out of breath. ‘Yeah those things are like tanks, and they never break either, it takes a lot to just put a scratch on those things,’ Gerard said, slightly out of breath. ‘Hey, since we’re done with this, you wanna come back to my place, you can meet the rest of the guys,’ Gerard asked. ‘Bree I’m home,’ you heard your mom yell just before you were going to answer him. ‘We should probably get out of my room, that wouldn’t look so good to my mom, you know having a guy alone in your room,’ you said. He nodded, ‘yeah probably wouldn’t, plus we only met like 4 hours ago. So yeah, you think she’d mind if you came over?’ ‘I don’t see why not ,’ you said. ‘ Great,’ he said. You smiled and went back downstairs, Gerard only a few steps behind you. You saw your mom in the kitchen with all the food and stuff. ‘Hey mom would it be alright if I hung out at a friends house for a while,’ you asked. ‘Who is your friend,’ she asked, her back was still turned to you. ‘Gerard,’ you said. She turned around, and saw Gerard standing next to you. ’Hi,’ he said. She raised an eyebrow at first and then nodded her head, ‘ Hello, just be home at a somewhat decent hour, okay sweetie.’ ‘Thank you,’ you said and gave her a kiss on the cheek and walked out the front door with Gerard. You both decided to walk back to his house considering he was just on the next block over from you. ‘It’s weird, it feels like I’ve known you forever, when I only just officially met you today,’ he said. ‘Yeah I know, same here,’ you said. ‘Think it means something,’ you asked. He shrugged his shoulders, ‘who knows, we’re just gonna have to see where this goes.’ ‘Yeah I guess so,’ you said. Inside you were smiling like you never have before.
You walked up to a house only a tiny bit smaller than yours but still, it was cute and well kept. ‘Well, this would be my house,’ he said and took your hand and led you inside. ‘Hey mom,’ he yelled when he walked into the house. ‘Hey sweetie,’ she said from another room. ‘Are the guys here,’ he asked. ‘Yeah, in the basement, you better go check on them before they tear it apart down there,’ she laughed. ‘You’ll meet her later,’ Gerard said and then led you down to the basement. It was fixed up rather nice, there was a couch, a couple chairs, a T.V. with a play station hooked up to it. Nothing fancy just simple. Around the T.V. 2 guys were huddled around it with controllers in their hands. ‘Hey guys,’ Gerard said. ‘Hey Gerard,’ one guy said, the other just waved. Both keeping their eyes on the screen. Gerard let go of your hand and walked over and unplugged the T.V. ‘Hey! I was winning,’ the guy with an afro style hair said. ‘No you weren’t. I was,’ the other guy said, you remembered him, he was the one you saw yesterday at the school. ‘We have company,’ Gerard said. ‘Mikey isn’t company,’ the guy with the fro said. ‘Mikey is at the mall with Vanessa, Ray,’ Gerard said. The other guy looked at you, ‘hey! I’ve seen you before.’ You smiled and slightly blushed. ‘Frankie, Ray, this is Bree. She just moved in earlier this week, be nice,’ Gerard introduced you all to each other. Frankie got up and smiled and gave you a big hug, ‘welcome to the group! Don’t worry we don’t bite.’ ‘Well that’s good to know,’ you laughed. Ray came over and hugged you too, ‘man she’s hott!’ Gerard glared at him. ‘Does Gerard like me,’ you thought to yourself, ‘that glare he gave Ray was pretty cold, maybe he does?’ You smiled and Gerard stood next to you and smiled back. ‘Aw man, he already got dibs on her,’ Ray said. Gerard just smiled and nodded. Frankie went back over to the T.V. to plug it back in, ‘oh no, you two are not playing that anymore, we’re actually going to do something for a change,’ Gerard said. ‘Aw man, come on, what is there to do here anyways,’ Frankie whined. ‘Well, why don’t we go and track down Mikey and Vanessa at the mall,’ Gerard suggested. ‘Wait, you’re car is like dead Gerard, how are we going to get there, Frankie’s car is a piece of nuts,’ Ray said. ‘Hey, at least I have one,’ Frankie yelled. ‘It’s not my fault some one drove it into a tree last month,’ Ray said, poking at Frankie. ‘Oh yeah, sorry bout that,’ Frankie said and lightly laughed. ‘It’s alright man, I was meaning to fix it up anyways. You just gave me a reason to now,’ Ray said. ‘Alright, quit your blabbering and lets get to the mall,’ Gerard said. You all hopped into Frankie’s car, although it was old, it still ran rather well, to your surprise.
The experience at the mall was fun for a change, you did end up finding Mikey and Vanessa, his girlfriend. She seemed nice, kind of shy, she had dark brown hair which appeared to be almost black, brown/hazel eyes, with a tomboyish style to her. She seemed really nice, and it appeared Mikey just loved her. Your trip to the mall ended on a humorous note, you managed to get yourselves kicked out of the mall, the people claimed you were all ‘too much of a disturbance and that they couldn’t shop with you all hanging around.’ You all squished back into Frankie’s car and he dropped you back home at each of your houses. First he dropped off Vanessa at hers, then Ray, so all that was left was you, Gerard and Mikey. ‘Do you wanna come back with us to my place Bree,’ Frankie asked. You gave a small yawn, ‘no thanks man, I think I’m going to turn in early, but thanks for the invite,’ you said. ‘No problem, maybe next time then,’ he said as he pulled into your driveway. You hopped out of the back seat and walked up the driveway, as you approached the door you heard a car door shut. You didn’t think much of it, ‘Bree!’ You turned your head and saw Gerard walking up to you. ‘Yeah,’ you said slightly laughing. ‘Dude what are you doing,’ you heard Frankie call from the car. ‘Hold on a minute man,’ Gerard yelled back. ‘You got exactly 2 minutes and then I’m pulling away without you,’ Frankie warned. ‘Alright,’ Gerard snapped at him, he laughed and looked back at you. ‘See, umm, err, I was wonder Bree, if you were up to it, I mean, you don’t have to but umm,’ he started. ‘Gerard spit it out,’ you laughed. He blushed slightly, ‘well would you like to hang out tomorrow?’ ‘Sure I’d love to hang out with you guys again,’ you said. ‘Well, I meant, just us, not the rest of the guys, kinda like umm a date,’ he said with a bit of hope in his voice. You smiled and kissed him on the cheek. ‘So is that a yes,’ he said sorta stunned. ‘You bet,’ you smiled. ‘Awesome, I’ll see you tomorrow then, around noon ish, if that’s cool with you,’ he said. ‘Yeah, I’ll make sure to be up before noon, though I don’t know you might have to come in and wake me up, today has me pretty exhausted,’ you teased. He laughed, ‘alright noon it is,’ you told him. ‘G’night,’ he said and ran back down to the car. You waved after him, ‘Night!’

Chapter 7[/b]
You walk into the house to find your mom in the kitchen, sitting at the table, obviously waiting for you to get home. ‘Hi mom,’ you said with a big smile plastered across your face. ‘I take it you had a good time with Gerard,’ she said. ‘Yeah I did! Plus I met a bunch of other great guys too,,’ you said. ‘All guys,’ she said with a raised eyebrow. ‘Don’t worry, they’re cool mom. Oh yeah, did you see the guitar I got today,’ you asked her. ‘Yeah, I saw it when I went into your room to pick up your dirty laundry. So how much did it all cost you,’ she asked. ‘Err well, a little over a thousand,’ you said, waiting for her to blow up at you. Surprisingly she didn’t, ‘well it was your money, you haven’t shut up about that guitar in over a year so I guess it was worth it.’ ‘You bet,’ you said. ‘Did you sign up for lessons,’ she asked. ‘Well duh! I’m not gonna buy a guitar and just look at it,’ you laughed. ‘Yeah, they are on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. Don’t worry before you get all over my case, I picked the cheapest teacher, it was only $10 for each lesson,’ you explained to her. ‘Well, that was your choice, you’re the one paying for the lessons,’ you mom said. ‘I know,’ you grumbled. ‘Well, I’m tired, I’m gonna head up to bed, I’m hanging out with Gerard again tomorrow, if I’m not up by noon, and if he by chance comes early, he’s a cool guy mom, you can let him in the house, just don’t let him up in my room to wake me up,’ you instructed. She laughed and shook her head, you headed upstairs and changed out of your clothes and into your pajamas. You got into bed and fell asleep before your head even touched the pillow.
You woke up the next morning, greeted by two beautiful hazel eyes. You screamed and fell out of bed. The owner of the eyes just laughed. You looked up and saw Gerard, you glared at him. ‘How did you,’ you started. He laughed, ‘your brother let me in.’ ‘Jeff,’ you muttered. Gerard helped you up, ‘go on get ready, I have our day already planned out, go on,’ he said pushing you into the bathroom. You gave him a joking glare and closed the door on him. You stripped down and jumped into the shower and took a fast one. ‘Fastest one yet,’ you thought. You realized Gerard left you in the bathroom with nothing but a towel, ‘god damn that boy!’ You decided to be brave and wrap the towel around your body and walk over to your room. You opened the door to find all your clothes were set out for you, Gerard’s eyes looked like they were ready to pop right out of their sockets when he saw you in just a towel. ‘You left me with nothing but a towel, what did you expect,’ you snapped. You walked over to the bed where your clothes were set up, ‘hmm you have some fine taste, Mr. Way.’ He shrugged his shoulders, ‘well I know what we’re doing today so I figured I’d help you along a bit, don’t want to be late.’ You eyed him and picked up your clothes and walked over to a drawer and pulled out a bra and underwear without his seeing. You quickly ran back to the bathroom to finish getting ready, quickly you did your hair, make up and got dressed. You walked back into your room, Gerard was over by the window, ‘what are you looking at?’ ‘Nothing,’ he mumbled. ‘Well come on,’ you said as you finished tying up your shoe. You walked downstairs with Gerard following right behind you. You saw your mom down in the kitchen and Jeff lounging in front of the T.V. You walked over to him and gave him a sweet smile, his face got scared and you socked him a hard punch in the shoulder, ‘have a nice day,’ you said and walked away. Your mom continued to read the magazine she had in front of her, ‘We’re leaving mom,’ you said and kissed her on the cheek. ‘What you’re not going to eat first,’ she asked. ‘Nah, I’ll grab something while I’m out,’ you said and quickly got out of the house. ‘God I thought I’d never get out of that house,’ you said, relieved to be out of it. ‘You were barely in it for a half hour,’ Gerard said. ‘Exactly, a half hour too long,’ you said and smiled. You took his hand in yours and you walked down the drive way, ‘so what do you have planned for today?’ ‘Well, I was thinking lunch, a late afternoon movie, dinner, and then to a club I know,’ he said. ‘I see, are these places all in walking distance,’ you asked. ‘Well, yeah they are actually. It’s summer, do we really need to drive everywhere? Besides, it’s not too hot out today and yeah I thought it would be nice to walk for a change,’ he explained. ‘Hmmm,’ you said and leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, ‘I think I like the way you think.’ He smiled.
You two started walking down the street, fingers laced together, and talking the whole way. You got to know more about him, what he was into, what music he liked, what he did when he was bored and stuff like that. You told him almost everything about you, except about your suicide incident that took place only 2 weeks earlier. You were really surprised he never once asked why you had your arms wrapped up, you really didn’t need to the bandages but you wanted to make sure.
You and Gerard stop in front of a fairly nice restaurant/diner place. It seemed friendly, and it was. You and Gerard ordered your food and sat down at an empty table for two. You guys ended up getting into a small food fight, throwing fries back and forth at each other. Gerard threw one that just missed you and ended up hitting a girl behind you in the back of the head. The girl turned around and glared at him, Gerard started laughing. She had brown hair with dark blue highlights, gray eyes and was average height from what you could tell. ‘You think that was funny huh,’ she said with a pissed off face to match her attitude. ‘I’m sorry babe I really am,’ Gerard apologized. The person she was with walked over and set the tray of food down on their table, the girl grabbed a fry off the tray and threw it at Gerard. ‘Hey, that was one of my fries,’ the guy yelled. You turned a bit further and saw Frankie. You looked at Gerard, he got up and hugged the girl and punched Frankie in the arm. ‘Looks like we thought of the same place for lunch,’ Frankie said. ‘Yeah and your girlfriend got hit by a miss fire fry,’ Gerard said. ‘Sorry bout that Ivy,’ he apologized again. ‘It’s alright Gerard, just watch where you are throwing those things next time,’ she said. She turned to you, ‘Hi, I’m Ivy, if you haven’t guessed already, I’m Frankie’s girlfriend. And who might you be,’ she asked, putting out her hand. You shook her hand, ‘Bree.’ ‘Nice to meet you Bree, see someone finally gave this guy here another chance, he hasn’t had the best of luck with girls,’ she said the last part a whisper. You smiled, ‘I’ll take care of him, promise,’ you said with a smile. Gerard sat back down in his seat, ‘what’d you promise?’ ‘nothing,’ you smiled and you and Ivy turned back around to eat. After another 10 minutes you decided to head over to the movie theater to check out what shows were playing. You both finally agreed on Tim Burton’s ‘Corpse Bride’ (I know it isn’t out yet, and definitely wasn’t out when Gerard was a teenager, but just go with me on this, it was the only movie I could think of that he would go see, I didn’t want to use Nightmare Before Christmas because everyone uses that one, just go with it k.) You two got popcorn and pop and went into the theater, you sat in the very back row, right in the center. You held onto the popcorn while Gerard would just take handful’s of it, throwing half of it at someone and eating the other half. When he came in for his fifth handful you pulled the bucket away from his reaching hand. ‘Aw come on sugar, just one more please,’ he whispered, he leaned in and gave you a puppy dog face. ‘Nope,’ you said. ‘Fine,’ he said and sat back in his seat and folded his arms and watched the movie. You looked down at the pop corn and picked up a piece and threw it at his face, it hit him right in the eye. He turned just his head towards you and glared at you. Before you knew it, the popcorn bowl went flying and he had his lips pressed against yours while you laid on the ground kissing him back. After a few moments you saw a light flickering from behind Gerard and voice harshly whispering for you two to leave. Gerard got up and helped you up. You quickly got out of the theater, once you got outside it was already dark out (you spent a long time getting to lunch and eating lunch okay).
Gerard took your hand in his and laced his fingers with yours. ‘so where do we go now,’ you ask. ‘Wanna go to the park,’ he asked. ‘Yeah sure, why not,’ you agreed. You both walked to the park which was like just a couple blocks away. ‘So it was kinda ironic to see Frankie and his girlfriend Ivy earlier, huh,’ you said. ‘Mm not really, that’s really the only good place to eat around here, plus today is kind of like the day we all take a break from each other and hang out with our girlfriends and stuff,’ he explains. ‘So what would you consider us,’ you asked him. ‘Well, I donno, it’s hard to say considering I just met you yesterday and this is really only our first date,’ he started babbling. ‘True, so how about we just say we are in Limbo, we’re more than friends but not an official serious couple yet,’ you suggested. ‘hmmm, that’s sounds about right, alright then Limbo it is,’ Gerard agreed. You both reached the park and sat on the swings and talked for another hour, getting to know each other. It was so weird a couple days ago he was just some random cute guy in the neighbor hood, now you were out on a date having the best time ever, you were so comfortable with him too, like you could tell him anything. Okay, not anything, but like you could trust him with secrets and stuff. You guys decided to not go to the club in the end, you rather just sit and enjoy the night in the park talking instead. You and Gerard talked about a number of subjects, school, friends, family, how his Grandmother died a few years ago and how our dad died a few years back, art, music, everything and anything that came to mind. By they time you were half way through a conversation about classes at school, Gerard’s cell phone rang. He looked down at the name, ‘it’s Frankie. Eh, I’ll talk to him tomorrow, the guy practically lives at my house,’ Gerard said and put his cell phone away. ‘what time is it,’ you asked. He shook his head and took out his cell phone again, ‘almost 1am,’ he said. ‘Damn, I probably should be getting home,’ you said. ‘Yeah same here, that’s probably why Frankie was calling, letting me know how late it was and shit, or he was just being a dick fuck and checking up on us,’ Gerard laughed. ‘You never know, guess we’ll find out tomorrow, well later today actually,’ you laughed. ‘True,’ Gerard nodded. ‘well shall we get going, the mosquitoes are starting to eat me alive,’ you said, slapping a few away from your ankles. ‘Yeah sure lets go, Gerard grabbed your hand and you both tried getting up at the same time but failed and ended up being pinned by Gerard. Him on top of you, you didn’t mind him there, actually you didn’t want him to move, then you heard a car pass by, stop and honk it’s horn. Gerard groaned and helped you up, you both brushed yourself up and turned towards the car, you could hear ‘Ooooo’s’ coming from inside the car, it was Frankie and Mikey. ‘Shut up,’ Gerard yelled. They laughed, ‘so you two love birds want a ride,’ Frankie asked. ‘No that’s okay, we’re not too far from home, we’ll walk,’ you said. ‘Yeah go on with out us, hey Mikey tell mom I’ll be home in like 20 minutes or so,’ Gerard yelled. Mikey’s hand stuck out the window and waved. ‘Suit yourselves,’ Frankie said and pulled away and drove down the street.
After about a 10 minute walk you found yourselves standing on your front porch, ‘so it looks like our night has come to an end,’ you said, playing with your house key between your fingers. ‘Looks like it,’ Gerard said. You looked down at the ground for a moment and then back at Gerard, slowly you moved closer together and your lips met one another. It was a sweet simple kiss, nothing extravagant, but very sweet and endearing. You loved it, and when you broke away from one another you could see in Gerard’s eyes that he loved it too. ‘Well, I guess, this is good night,’ you said barely above a whisper. ‘Yeah I guess so,’ Gerard whispered lightly back. ‘I’ll see you tomorrow,’ you asked. ‘Yeah, definitely, I’ll come by and get you around the same time as today,’ he asked. ‘Yeah sure, just don’t wake me up this time,’ you said giving him a playful push. ‘Alright alright, I’ll wait downstairs and let your brother wake you up instead this time,’ he said. ‘Alright, I’ll see you tomorrow, night,’ you said. Gerard gave you a kiss on the cheek, ‘G’night.’ With that he walked down the steps of the porch and was on his way home, you watched him out of the corner of your eye walk down the street and around the corner until you couldn’t see him anymore. You sighed and walked inside. Jeff was sitting on the steps right in front of the door, half asleep. You silently walked towards him and flicked him on the forehead. ‘wake up sunshine,’ you said in his ear. He smiled with his eyes closed and you shoved him hard, he stumbled back against the stairs and then glared at you. You gave an innocent smile, ‘have a nice time vampira?’ ‘As a matter of fact I had a wonderful time, thank you for asking you big ogre,’ you laughed. You pushed him out of the way and ran up to your room and changed out of your clothes and into your pajama’s. You felt like you were on cloud 9, you were so happy. You hugged your pillow and crawled into bed and fell asleep with sweet dreams.

Chapter 8[/u][/b]
You woke up early the next day, before anyone else in the house, you found it weird but you were restless after last night, you woke up every hour of the night, you just couldn’t sleep. You rolled out of bed, showered, put on some clothes and ate breakfast. You walked back upstairs and looked at the one wall in your room that you left half just all black. It was a space for all of your band posters. You were waiting a few days for the paint to fully dry, you walked over and touched the wall and looked at your finger and then back at the wall, no finger print. You walked over to your desk and pulled out the thumb tacks and grabbed the cardboard tubes that captivated your posters. You thought it out first as to where you wanted each of them, ‘if my estimations are right, I should have more than enough room,’ you thought. You spread out your posters on the floor to flatten them out, you walked over to your stereo and put in your favorite CD (what ever that is) and turned it up. You didn’t care if you woke up Jeff, he deserved it. ‘Eh mom won’t care, she’s used to it,’ you shrugged. After a number of pricks of the fingers and paper cuts all your posters were up and you were satisfied with the way it looked. You glanced over at the clock, it was only noon. ‘Wait noon! Gerard’s gonna be here soon! Shit,’ you said and ran into the bathroom to fix up your hair and make up. You straightened out your hair leaving it down and shiny, you make up was simple, just powder, some heavy duty black eyeliner and some simple cherry lip gloss. You smiled and changed your shirt into something nicer than the old gross t-shirt you were wearing a few minutes ago. You were just missing one thing, your guitar pic necklace. You couldn’t find it anywhere. ‘Mom have you seen my necklace,’ you yelled. ‘Which one sweetie,’ she called up. ‘My guitar pic one, the one from dad, have you seen it,’ you asked while throwing clothes out of a drawer in search of it. No luck in the drawer. ‘No sorry dear I haven’t. Maybe its down in the laundry room, it could have gotten shoved into a pile of clothes somewhere,’ she suggested. ‘Alright,’ you yelled down and ran down to the laundry room.
You stopped when you saw that the laundry pile was huge, ‘there is no way I’m going to find it in this mess,’ you groaned. You figured the best way to find it was to just jump right in there and search for it, you searched and searched for it, glancing at the clock every couple minutes. ‘Come on where are you, Gerard is going to be here soon,’ you muttered. You decided that you were just going to have to literally swim through the clothes to find it. Your hearing was clouded so you didn’t even hear the door bell ring or the people talking up stairs or the footsteps coming down the stairs and into the laundry room. You couldn’t take the stench anymore so you sat up to get air. ‘Is this a hobby of yours,’ you heard a voice ask. You turned and saw Gerard laughing his ass off. ‘What,’ you asked. He pointed to your head, you felt on top, it was one of Jeff’s underwear on your head, you threw it off and made a disgusted face. ‘Gross,’ you muttered. ‘What are you doing in there anyways,’ he asked once he stopped laughing. ‘I was searching for my necklace, I saw it but I had to come up for air,’ you explained. You took in a deep breath and went back in and grabbed your necklace and popped back up with a smile across your face. Gerard pulled out a hand to help you out, stupid move, you grabbed his hand and pulled him into the pile next to you, ‘oh that’s gross!’ You shrugged, ‘that’s what you get for laughing at me.’ You got up and walked out of the laundry and lent him a hand, he pulled you down on top of him and caused your lips to collide with one another. After a few minutes, you realized that you were making out in the pile of dirty laundry, no too romantic. You both broke away and walked back upstairs. Just as you were about to open the front door, ‘Where are you going?’ You heard your mother call. You glanced at Gerard and rolled your eyes. ‘Gerard’s,’ you said. ‘Alright, call me if you’re going to be later than mid night. You got your cell phone right,’ she asked. ‘Yes mom I have my cell, anything else,’ you asked annoyed. ‘Mmm, don’t drink, don’t smoke, don’t do drugs, and don’t have sex, alright you can leave now,’ she said half laughing. ‘Good bye mom,’ you said and walked out the front door, quickly closing it behind you. ‘Sorry about that,’ you said. Gerard laughed, ‘it’s alright, hey, think of it this way, she cares, right,’ Gerard pointed out. ‘Yeah your right, I guess it’s a good thing, some times I just wish she wouldn’t care as much,’ you said. ‘Think about it though, if you landed yourself in trouble, who’s gonna come and bail you out if you’re alone,’ he made you think. ‘Who says I’m gonna be alone, I’m gonna have you with me in the same trouble as me,’ you said and poked him in the side. He put his arm around your shoulder and pulled you close to him, ‘good point. Hell I’d probably be the reason why you’re in trouble!’ ‘Dragging me down with ya huh,’ you said. He smiled, ‘yep!’ ‘Aww you’re so sweet,’ you said sarcastically. He laughed and you guys walked up to his house. You could already hear the screaming coming from inside from the guys. ‘Oh shit, I’m afraid to know what they have done to the inside of the house,’ Gerard muttered. ‘Oh don’t worry it can’t be that bad inside,’ you assured him.
Gerard opened the front door, the sight you saw made you want to break down laughing. Frankie was chasing Mikey around with a whip cream can, Ray was bouncing on the couch with pencils stuck in his hair. You watched Mikey run into the kitchen and come back out chasing Frankie with ketchup and mustard. ‘Whoa! Guys,’ Gerard yelled, They all stood frozen in their spots, you and Gerard went into the kitchen, ‘don’t move,’ Gerard warned them. None of them moved. Gerard opened the fridge and handed you a bottle of chocolate syrup and he grabbed a bottle of cheese whiz. You both held the bottles behind your backs, you walked over to Mikey and Gerard walked over to Frankie, you both looked at each other and nodded you squirted the chocolate syrup on Mikey’s glasses and Gerard sprayed the cheese whiz all over Frankie’s face. Ray burst out laughing on the couch, ‘they gotcha, guys!’ You and Gerard smiled at each other, Mikey’s jaw just dropped as the chocolate syrup ran down the frames of his glasses. Frankie licked up the cheese whiz that was around his mouth. ‘You guys are so gonna….pay,’ right before Mikey’s last word he sprayed ketchup and mustard all over your shirt. Frankie sprayed whip cream in Gerard’s face and hair. ‘This is war,’ you yelled and everyone started running around after one another, creams and sauces flying everywhere. You ran into Gerard and fell on the floor, he helped you up, ‘you know what goes good with whip cream,’ you said. ‘What,’ he asked. You poured chocolate syrup on his head, it dripped down his face, ‘yum.’ He gave a grin, ‘but you know what also tastes good,’ Gerard said. ‘Oh no you don’t,’ you yelled. Too late he grabbed you and sprayed liquid cheese all over you, ‘ewwww.’
The door bell rang, you all stopped where you were and looked at each other, you huddled around the door , Gerard motioned for you all to hide behind him, he held the can of cheese whiz behind him. He slowly opened the door and there stood 3 girls, Ivy, Vanessa and another girl. ‘Hey guys,’ Gerard greeted. ‘Hey, are the rest of the guys here,’ you heard Ivy ask. ‘Umm nope, haven’t seen them, sorry,’ Gerard said. ‘What do you have all over you,’ you heard an unfamiliar voice ask. Mikey started slightly laughing, you and Frankie both punched him in the arm. ‘Mind if we come in and wait for them,’ Ivy asked. ‘Yeah sure,’ Gerard said and opened the door wider, as they walked in, they were attacked by, whip cream, ketchup, mustard, and chocolate syrup. The three of them screamed. ‘What the,’ Ivy was cut off by Frankie’s lips pressed against her own. Vanessa punched Mikey in the arm, ‘why’d you have to get ketchup and mustard all over me?!’ ‘Aw babe, you know it was just a joke,’ Mikey said and kissed her on the cheek. She grabbed the mustard bottle out of his hand and squirted it at Frankie and Ivy kissing. They both turned their heads towards her, Ivy ran for the kitchen and Frankie went after her with the whip cream. You watched the other girl, she had dark blond hair a raven tattoo that you could barely see on her lower back, it was slightly covered by her shirt, and her eye brow pierced. She walked over to Ray and sat down on the couch next to him. She laughed as she pulled out a pencil that was sticking out of his hair. He laughed as she held it up and shook her head laughing. She cuddled up to him on the couch and they just watched the rest of you have a food fight. Ivy came out with another can of whip cream and Vanessa ran into the kitchen and came out with a jar of peanut butter. She grabbed a bunch of the spread in her hand and rubbed it all over Mikey’s face and glasses. For the next hour food was thrown all over the place. Everything was empty and you were all sprawled out across the floor. ‘So how are we going to clean ourselves and this whole how up before your mom gets home,’ Ivy asked. ‘I donno,’ Gerard and Mikey said in unison, which caused you all to laugh. ‘Hey, I know how to get clean,’ Frankie said. He stood up and so did Mikey and Gerard. Frankie picked up Ivy and threw he over his shoulder, ‘put me down Frankie! Where are you taking me,’ she yelled. You and Vanessa looked at each other, ‘oh no you’re not,’ you said moving away. ‘Oh come on sugar I’m not gonna hurt you, I promise,’ Gerard said. He picked you up and Mikey picked up Vanessa. ‘To the back yard,’ Frankie said and opened up the screen door to the back yard. The three of them filed out and carried you all to what you didn’t know would be, the pool. You had never been in the back yard so you had no clue what was coming the guys lined up along the edge, ‘1…2…3,’ they yelled and the next thing the three of you knew, you were underwater and swimming back up for air.
You, Ivy, and Vanessa, all glared at the guys. They all laughed and jumped in right by you guys. Gerard came up behind you and pushed you back down under the water. Mikey and Vanessa were having a splash fight along with Ivy and Frankie. As you were under you pulled Gerard down with you and then pushed yourself back up for air. He came up next to you and laughed. ‘What was that for,’ he asked, rubbing the water from his eyes. ‘You still has stuff all stuck in your hair,’ you laughed. ‘ah well I guess I owe you a thank you,’ he said and kissed your cheek. ‘You’re welcome,’ you smiled You wrapped yourself around Gerard. And he held you up in his arms. ‘So what brings you two over here,’ you asked Ivy and Vanessa. ‘Well, we were going to hang out and go to this party in the next subdivision over, but since we are now all soaking wet, that’s not going to happen,’ Vanessa explained. ‘What time does the party start,’ Gerard asked. ‘Not until 6,’ Ivy informed. ‘It’s only 3, we have enough time to all get cleaned up and changed to go to a party,’ you said. ‘Guess you’re right,’ Ivy said. ‘Come on then, lets get out of the pool and head back home to get ready,’ Vanessa said. The three of you filed out of the pool, leaving the 3 guys in there standing there just looking at the three of you. ‘What,’ you asked and then you all walked back into the house. You walked home soaking wet and the other two girls were still at the house when you left.

Chapter 9[/u][/b]
You quickly ran upstairs into the shower and quickly washed your hair and your body. Wrapping around a towel around yourself you ran into your room and threw on a pair of jeans that had holes in the knees, and a black tank top. Just as you opened your bedroom door to run back to the bathroom you came face to face with Gerard. ‘How? Why,’ you started to ask. He laughed, ‘you ran out of the house so quickly I never got to walk you home.’ You smiled, ‘aw how sweet of you.’ You walked over to the bathroom and stood in the doorway, ‘you can sit in my room if you want, I’ll be out in a couple minutes.’ He nodded and you closed the door and you heard your bedroom door softly close. While you were busy getting ready, Gerard took the chance to look around your room a bit. You quickly straightened out your hair and put on some eyeliner and a little bit of lip gloss. You walked into the hallway, it was oddly quiet. You opened your door slowly and silently to find Gerard snooping through your dresser. ‘What do you think you’re doing,’ you asked loudly. He jumped and closed the drawer quickly, ‘nothing,’ he said and turned bright red. You walked over to him and opened the drawer he was looking in, ‘so you like looking at my bras and underwear Mr. Way?’ ‘I…um...well…err,’ he stammered. You rolled your eyes, ‘don’t hurt yourself trying to come up with a decent excuse babe, just next time be a bit more sneaky about it.’ He blushed a deep crimson. You kissed him on the cheek, ‘aw you’re blushing, you look so cute when you blush like that.’ He gave a small laugh. ‘Well, shall we head back to your house,’ you asked. He walked over to the bed and sat down on it, ‘we could always stay here and have Frankie or Ray just pick us up before the party.’ You raised and eye brow and walked over and sat next to him. ‘And what would we do in the mean time,’ you asked. ‘Hmm well, we could talk,’ he said leaning in a bit closer and lowering his voice. You leaned in closer, lowering your voice, ‘and what shall we talk about?’ A few moments later your lips were ready to collide and then you noticed your door was open, ‘damn it,’ you thought. His eyes were closed so you pressed a finger to his lips then got up and closed the door. You sat back down next to him, ‘ now where were we,’ you laughed. Less than two seconds later, your lips met his soft lips. His hands found their way to your hips and pulled you closer, you moved your hands up his chest to his shoulders and deepened the kiss. His tongue skimmed your bottom lip as if asking for permission to enter, you accepted and your tongues intertwined around each others. You felt his hands push on your lower back to pull you in even deeper than you were already. He started to move back down onto the bed with you laying on top of him. You felt his hands creep up your shirt, you broke away from him and sat up. ‘Gerard,’ you said softly. You felt him sit up and move next to you, ‘yeah?’ ‘I’m not ready for that far yet,’ you said barely over a whisper. ‘That’s alright, when you’re ready, I can wait for eternity for you,’ he said softly and kissed you on the cheek. You laid your head on his shoulder, ‘what time is it?’ Gerard glanced over at the clock on your night stand, ‘almost time to go, Frankie should be here soon.’
A couple minutes later you heard a car pull up into your drive way and your door bell ringing. Jeff got the door and let the guys in and told them you were up in your room. You heard them charge their way upstairs and quietly creep to your door, you looked at Gerard and smiled and whispered, ‘wanna scare the shit out of them when they walk in?’ He gave an evil smile and nodded, you leaned in and you both started making out, you could hear their whispers coming from the other side of the door. This made you both smile, and then the door burst open. ‘Whoa! What the, oh my god,’ you heard Frankie’s voice yell. ‘Ahhhh, I’m gonna be scarred for life,’ Mikey yelled and turned around and covered his eyes. You and Gerard broke away laughing. ‘So where’s Ray,’ you asked. ‘He went back to his house for a little bit with Courtney, they are gonna meet us at the party,’ Frankie answered. He glanced over towards your guitar, ‘whoa! You play?’ ‘Well, not yet, I start lessons on Tuesday,’ you told him. ‘Where at,’ he asked. ‘That guitar shop not too far from here,’ you told him. Gerard slightly laughed. ‘What’s so funny?’ ‘Frankie works there,’ he said. ‘Who’s the teacher you signed up for,’ he asked. ‘The choice I picked was named Frank, so yeah that’s who I my teacher is,’ you answered. Frankie got a smile on his face and then walked over to you and put out his hand, you looked at him confused. ‘Tis a pleasure to teach you how to play the guitar Miss Bree,’ he said with a serious tone. You laughed, ‘you’re my teacher? Oh this should be interesting!’ He stood up straight and nodded, ‘yep that would be me. Don’t worry, you’ll learn everything there is to know! What set of days did you sign up for?’ ‘Tuesday and Thursday,’ you told him. ‘Twice a week, whoa good luck with that,’ Mikey said. You all laughed as Frankie gave a hurt face, ‘don’t worry man, you know we love you,’ Gerard said. Frankie smiled and nodded, ‘true.’ ‘So shall we go to this party you guys had planned on for tonight,’ you said and stood up and headed towards your door. They guys nodded and filed out of your room after you, you headed outside and got in Frankie’s car. You and Gerard held hands on the way to the party that was only a couple blocks over from your house. Frankie pulled up along the curb of the house that had people spilling out of it drunk as hell already. You had only gotten drunk a few times and it was never at a big party like this, usually just with friends or at something small.
You all walked up to the front door, ‘wait where’s the rest of the girls?’ ‘Ray took them, they weren’t all going to fit in my car,’ Frankie answered. You nodded, ‘true, your car is pretty small.’ ‘Hey! I doubt you even noticed, you and Gerard were practically all over each other the whole way here,’ Frankie retaliated. ‘Shut up,’ you said and gave him a shove. ‘So yeah, what is the deal with you two,’ Mikey asked. ‘Umm, we’ll let you know,’ Gerard said nervously. Mikey rolled his eyes and then the door opened, you were greeted by a guy with brown messy hair and a goatee. ‘Hey Matt,’ Mikey said. He had a beer in his hand, ‘welcome to the party guys! And who is this beautiful lady here,’ he said eyeing you. ‘Back off man, you have a girlfriend, she’s with me,’ Gerard said with a serious tone. ‘Alright, she’s off limits, gotcha man,’ he said throwing his arms up in the air. Gerard pulled you close to him, you loved feeling safe in his arms. You guys all entered the house, Mikey and Frankie went off to find Ivy and Vanessa. You held on to Gerard as you made your way through the drunk group of people in the family room. You swore you felt someone touch your ass, but you just kept walking with Gerard to the kitchen to go get something to drink. Home free, the kitchen! ‘We made it through the mob,’ you say with the sound of success in your voice. ‘Yes we did, I almost punched that guys face when I saw him touch your ass,’ Gerard said protectively. ‘Aw, sweetie,’ you said and kissed him on the cheek. ‘What? The guy was touching my territory,’ Gerard said as he opened his beer bottle. You gave him a sly smile, ‘your territory huh?’ You handed him your bottle to open, he set down his on the messy counter and opened yours, setting it down next to his. He snaked his arms around your waist, ‘well, I was wondering, even though we’ve only known each other a week and have spent almost every moment together, I know you said you didn’t want anything serious yet, but I was wondering, if well,’ he said. You smiled and kissed him. He looked at you wide eyed when you pulled away, ‘yes.’ ‘Really,’ he asked. ‘I thought about it after Mikey mentioned it outside a little while ago, and you know, you are the best thing that ever happened to me, so yes Gerard Way, I’ll be your girlfriend!’ He smiled and pulled you into a deep passionate kiss. ‘AHHH not again,’ you heard Mikey scream. You and Gerard broke away for a second and looked at him, smiled and then went back to kissing. Mikey covered his eyes, you and Gerard didn’t even notice Frankie come by and steal your beers off the counter. Mikey and Frankie made a quick dash from the kitchen. You and Gerard finally broke away, mainly to catch each others breath. You glanced down at the counter, ‘those little shits!’ Gerard glanced down, ‘oh well, we’ll just grab a couple more.’ You grabbed four out of the fridge and opened them up, since Frankie and Mikey only took one for each of them you guys decided to be nice and get Ivy and Vanessa each their own too. You and Gerard walked around and found them all outside, including Ray and Courtney, they were in the back yard. Clearly they all had drinks already before you got out there, they were all pretty ditzy by then. After 3 hours or so of drinking you were all pretty out of it. Frankie and Ivy were laying on the lawn just looking up at the sky, Mikey was passed out on the bench with Vanessa sitting next to him with her head on his shoulder. Ray and Courtney we’re attempting to walk around the lawn but ended up just sitting down a few feet away from Ivy and Frankie. You and Gerard weren’t too bad, you both could still see some what straight, but once Gerard finished his drink he sat down and passed out on the lawn. You stumbled over to him and laid down next to him, with your head on his stomach, you felt his arm pull you closer to him, you laced your fingers with his.
You all must have fell asleep outside, because the next thing you saw was the sunlight burning into your eyes. ‘Shit,’ you yelled and sat up. You had a pain killing head ache, moaned and fell back down on Gerard, he groaned when you fell on him. ‘Sorry baby,’ you mumbled. ‘It’s alright,’ he said rubbing his eyes. You heard the sliding door from the house open, ‘good morning people!’ It was Matt. You all groaned. He had a tray of drinks of some sort, he each handed you one, ‘go ahead drink up, it will help get rid of those hangovers you have.’ ‘What’s in it,’ you asked. ‘You don’t want to know, trust me, just drink it,’ he told you. You nodded and drank up the mysterious liquid, it wasn’t half bad, but you still didn’t want to know what was in it. After an hour or so you were all pretty much awake and moving around again. You all went back inside, which was already clean. ‘Geez Matt, how long have you been up,’ Ray asked. He shrugged, ‘I never slept, well maybe for an hour or so., but yeah my parents are coming home tonight and I can’t have them knowing I had a party while they were out of town.’ ‘Well, we’ll get out of your hair and let you sleep,’ Gerard said.
Soon you were all sitting in the cars heading back to Gerard and Mikey’s house. You all stayed over there for a couple more hours to make sure the hangovers were gone and then headed back home. Mikey went to Vanessa’s and Frankie went with Ivy back to her house. Ray and Courtney each went their separate ways to their own homes. Which left you and Gerard on the couch. You decided to turn on the TV., but neither of you were really paying much attention to it, you mostly cuddled, you caught Gerard starring at you from time to time. ‘What do I have something on my face or something,’ you asked him after like the fifth time of him starring at you. ‘No, you’re just so beautiful, I can’t help but stare,’ he said sweetly. ‘Aww, thank you,’ you said and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
~* Fast Forward 2 months, School Starting*~
Things with you and Gerard grew more and more, you still never told the guys, you pretty much kept the relationship under wraps. They kinda figured it out but you never gave them the official announcement. You both liked having it unknown to the others. It was the day before the first day of school, you all had your schedules, you pretty much had almost every class together, and if you all weren’t together, you had a couple of each other in each class. All except for Mikey and Vanessa, since they were sophomores they had different classes, but you all had lunch together. You all became really close friends over the summer months. Lessons with Frankie was awesome, even though you only have been taking lessons for a couple of months, you were getting really good, sometimes Frankie would teach you some stuff outside of lessons, for free of course, to be nice. Occasionally the guys thought about putting their own band together but none of them had the time for it. Mikey still wasn’t able to buy his bass, Frankie had work almost every night, Gerard was working on his portfolio for his scholarship as were you, Ray was finishing up fixing up Gerard’s and his own car. Matt was constantly partying and such, so their plans of a making up a band weren’t going to be happening right now. You were now getting ready to go and hang out with Gerard for the day at the mall, clothes shopping, he agreed to come along with and he wanted to get a couple CD’s and stuff while he was there anyways. You slipped into some comfortable jeans, a t-shirt and your converse and headed outside to wait for him. He pulled up in his car, you had never seen it before, he hopped out of the drivers seat and showed it off. It wasn’t bad looking, (pick whatever car you want for him to drive). ‘So this is the masterpiece you let Ray fix up for ya?’ ‘Yep! Isn’t she beautiful,’ he asked. You laughed, ‘yeah, I guess.’ He walked up to you and kissed you on the cheek, ‘well come on, off to the mall we go, m’lady!’ You smiled as he opened the passenger side door for you and closed it when you got in, he skipped around and jumped into the drivers seat. You drove off to the mall and got there in the matter of 15 minutes. You listened to whatever was on the radio at the time. After a couple of songs, he pulled into the mall parking lot. He got out and opened your door and you got out and headed into the mall, with your fingers laced with his. A trip to the mall with Gerard, this should be interesting!

Chapter 10[/u][/b] YAY for double digits!
You walked around Hot Topic looking at all the band t-shirts. Gerard went off and started looking at the belts. You grabbed a couple of black band shirts and walked over to where Gerard was. He held up a black belt with a bat buckle. ‘What do ya think,’ he asked. ‘I like it,’ you said. He smiled, ‘me too! I’m getting it!’ You laughed and you went and paid for your shirts and Gerard for his belt. You walked around the mall for a couple hours buying random things for school and just stuff to have. You decided to stop at the little café they had in the mall, you got your drinks and sat down at a table for two. ‘So you think we should tell them,’ you asked him. ‘We mind as well, we’ve been together for over 2 months now, besides I think Mikey figured it out, and he can hold a secret like he can hold water, he can’t,’ Gerard laughed. You nodded, ‘true, we should just tell them already.’ You and Gerard decided to tell them later on that night when you both got home from the mall. You were all going out to dinner in celebration for the last night of summer vacation, so you figured it would be best to do it then. After a couple more stores you and Gerard headed home. He dropped you off and your house leaving you with a good bye kiss and then went off to go get ready himself.
You walked inside your house to find it completely empty and dark. ‘Odd,’ you said as you turned on the kitchen lights. ‘Jeff and Mom should be home,’ you said, you walked over to the table and saw a note sitting there. It was in your Mom’s hand writing.
Bree, Jeff and I went to the store, we’ll be back in a little while. Hope you had fun with Gerard at the mall, we should be home by 4pm. I left money on the counter for you for dinner with your friends tonight, have fun! Love, Mom and Jeff <3
You glanced at the clock it was already 6pm, ‘where are they?’ You had a bad feeling form at the pit of your stomach. You looked over at the phone and answering machine, there were 3 messages. You pressed the button, 1 was from Frankie telling you what restaurant they made reservations for, 1 from Stephanie calling to see how you were, and the next message you didn’t recognize the voice but hated what they had to say. You had tears rolling down your cheeks as the message played on. When the message was over all you could do was run out of your house and run to Gerard’s. You ran up to his front door and rang the door bell a few times, Mikey answered the door. He saw you crying, ‘Bree what’s wrong?’ ‘Where’s Gerard,’ you asked through your tears. ‘In his room,’ he said and you pushed past him and ran upstairs to his room. His bedroom door was closed, you knocked on it a few times, ‘coming!’ ‘Gerard,’ you whimpered through the door with tears streaming down your face. You heard Mikey coming up the stairs and down the hall, Gerard opened his door and saw you crying. ‘Sugar what’s wrong? What happened,’ he asked as he pulled you into a hug. ‘Gerard….I…need…to ….go …to the…hospital,’ you said trying to choke back your tears. ‘Why? What happened,’ he asked. ‘Mom…Jeff…car accident,’ you managed to get out. Gerard nodded, ‘shhh baby, I’ll take you.’ He stroked his fingers through your hair and rubbing your back to calm you down. He led you downstairs, Mikey followed and came with to the hospital with you. Gerard drove there as fast as he could. You guys got there in a few minutes and you ran inside and asked the lady at the desk what room they were in. You ran down the hall, Gerard and Mikey a little ways behind you. You saw a Doctor come out of the room they were in, looking down at his file and shaking his head. He looked up at you and asked if he could help you, you told him who you were. He sat you down in the chair outside of the room. ‘I’m sorry Bree, but they didn’t make it,’ he told you, tears began flooding your eyes all over again. Gerard and Mikey stood to the side and heard the last bit of it. The Doctor nodded at them and walked down the hall to a desk and handed the lady the files he had. You stood up and wrapped your arms around Gerard and sobbed into his chest. He kissed your forehead. ‘Did the Doctor say if you could go in and see them at least,’ Mikey asked. You nodded slightly wiping away the tears from your eyes. Gerard hit Mikey in the back of the head, ‘what?’ Gerard just glared at him. You laced your fingers with Gerard’s and headed into the room. There they laid, they looked like they were sleeping, a nurse was taking down the last bits of the machines that were at one time hooked up to them. They had bandages all over them, you could barely tell it was them, but you saw your Mom’s wedding ring on her finger, she never took it off after your Dad died 5 years ago. And Jeff had on his high school class ring on his hand. You looked at them both and started crying again. Gerard walked up behind you and held you in his arms. Mikey’s cell phone rang, he went outside of the room and took the call. A few minutes later a nurse came in and gave you forms to fill out, after an hour or so of filling out all the forms you headed home. The car ride home was silent, you hated the silence. ‘So who called you Mikey,’ you asked. Mikey kinda jumped, ‘oh that was Frankie and everyone else. They wanted to know why we weren’t at the restaurant yet,’ he told you. ‘I told him, that it would be better if you told them later and that we weren’t coming,’ Mikey added. You nodded.
You went back to Gerard’s house. You had already met Gerard and Mikey’s mom, she insisted you call her, Donna. You practically lived at Gerard’s house all summer so it wasn’t a surprise to his mom when the three of you walked in late that night and with everyone else sitting in the family room waiting for you to come back. Before you walked into the house you started crying again. Gerard held on to you and you walked inside. Mikey opened the door, you buried your face in Gerard’s chest again, avoiding everyone’s eyes. Gerard led you over to the couch and sat down and you moved onto his lap. Everyone was silent and confused. Mikey sat down on the other side of you and Gerard. ‘What happened,’ Ray asked quietly. You wiped away the tears and managed to clear your throat. ‘My mom and brother just passed away,’ you said. ‘How,’ Frankie asked the question no one was brave enough to ask. ‘A car accident,’ you said. Each of them, including Gerard’s parents came over and hugged you and giving their condolences to you. ‘So have you decided where you want them buried and when,’ Mikey asked. ‘This weekend, back where my Dad is buried in New York,’ you said. Gerard kept you cradled in his arms, with your arms around his neck and head on his shoulder. He kissed your forehead as your tears stopped. ‘The only thing I don’t know is where I’m going to live,’ you said more so to yourself. ‘You can stay here,’ Gerard whispered in your ear and he then looked at his parents, they looked at each other and then nodded. You smiled, ‘thank you.’ He kissed you softly on the lips. You turned and looked at everyone. They all looked at you and Gerard kind of confused. You looked back and Gerard and whispered, ‘you can tell them.’ He smiled and kissed you again. ‘Tell us what,’ Ray asked. ‘Well, tonight we were planning on telling you all something,’ Gerard began and kissed you on the cheek. ‘Which is,’ Frankie asked while holding hands with Ivy. Mikey walked over and sat down next to Vanessa., and Ray was sitting next to Courtney. ‘We are together,’ Gerard said looking into your eyes. ‘I knew it,’ Mikey yelled. Everyone laughed and even managed to put a smile on your face. ‘Well, its about time,’ Ray said. ‘Actually, Ray, we’ve been together, we just never knew when the right time was to tell you all,’ you said. ‘For how long,’ he asked. ‘Umm remember that party at Matt’s house back in June,’ you said. ‘Since then,’ Mikey asked. ‘Yep,’ Gerard said with a goofy smile on his face. ‘No wonder you two were always making out all over the place,’ Mikey muttered with a disgusted tone. It was already past mid night and people were starting to yawn. ‘You guys should probably get going, we have school tomorrow,’ you said. They all agreed and headed home, each of them giving you a hug as they left.
Once everyone was gone, Donna suggested that you head home and that Gerard go with. You and Gerard went up to his room, he grabbed some clothes for school tomorrow and stuffed them in a bag and you headed over to your house. It was weird going home to an empty house, you were happy Gerard was staying with you for the night. You walked upstairs to your room, Gerard right next to you, with his hand around your waist. You walked into your room and turned on the light. You both sat down on your bed and cuddled for a little while, ‘we should probably get some sleep, class starts at 8:30am,’ Gerard suggested. You nodded, ‘I guess so.’ You got up grabbed some pajama’s, which just so happened to be on the more revealing side, and changed in the bathroom. Gerard was already in his pajama pants and a black t-shirt. You walked back in and his eyes looked like they were ready to pop out of their sockets. You laughed, ‘don’t even think about it.’ He gave you a puppy dog face, ‘sorry,’ you told him and sat down on the bed. He made a bed out of blankets on the floor and an extra pillow. You crawled into your bed and shut the lights off. After a couple hours of laying there awake, you wanted to be by Gerard. ‘Gerard,’ you whispered. ‘Yeah,’ he said. ‘I can’t sleep, can you sleep up here by me,’ you asked. In a couple seconds he was up and already in bed with you. You laughed as he crawled in, ‘but don’t think you’re getting any,’ you warned him. ‘I know, I wouldn’t push you to,’ he said and kissed your cheek. You snuggled up in the blankets, Gerard’s arms wrapped around you, you felt so safe in his arms. You both fell asleep within a few minutes in each others arms.

Chapter 11[/u][/b]
The nagging screaming woke you up. You groggily found the source of the annoying sound, the alarm clock. You looked at it, 7am. You rolled back onto the bed to knock into a half awake Gerard. He groaned when you hit him. ‘Sorry,’ you mumbled. ‘It’s alright,’ he muttered and pulled you close to him and kissed you on the forehead. ‘How are you doing,’ he asked as he held you in his arms. ‘Mm I donno, we’ll see how things go today, then I’ll let you know,’ you told him. He nodded, ‘I don’t want to move.’ You turned over and faced him, ‘neither do I, but you know if we don’t we’re both going to get in major trouble,’ you kissed him on the cheek and rolled out of bed. You grabbed a pair of jeans, a black tank top, a bra and underwear and headed to the bathroom, ‘you can go in there when I’m done, there’s food downstairs if you’re hungry,’ you said as you walked into the bathroom. ‘Alright,’ he said as he slowly worked his way down the stairs to the kitchen to eat breakfast. You took a quick 10 minute shower and got dressed, put on your make up, along with fixing up your hair, for school. You walked out of the bathroom, ‘you can shower now baby!’ Gerard ran upstairs first with a smile across his face and then when he saw you his face flooded with disappointment, ‘what?’ He sighed, ‘nothing ,’ and walked into the bathroom. You went into your room and gathered some pens, your sketch book, a blank spiral, pencils, and other random things and shoved them into your black, patched up messenger bag. You heard your door open to see a half naked Gerard with a towel around his waist. ‘Damn, so that’s what you hide under all those clothes of yours,’ you joked. His face flushed a light pink and giving a small laugh. He walked over to his bag and got out his clothes and walked passed you giving you a small wink and headed off to the bathroom. ‘Damn,’ you thought. You went downstairs and started eating a bowl of cereal and a glass of orange juice. As you finish up your breakfast Gerard comes waltzing down the stairs with his stuff and your bag in his hand.
‘Ready,’ he asked. You glance at the clock, 8am. ‘Yeah, I guess,’ you sighed. ‘Come on, the school isn’t too far from here, we can walk,’ he said and headed towards the door. You followed him out and locked the door, taking your cell phone and house key with you, you still had to bring all your stuff over to Gerard’s after school today. After a short walk you were at the front of your new school, Gerard held your hand as you walked up the steps. You met up with Mikey, Frankie, Ray, Ivy, Vanessa, and Courtney inside the entrance way. You all greeted each other and headed inside to your lockers. You all realized you had nothing yet to put in them, ‘eh we mind as well check to make sure they work,’ you said. You got a number of , true’s and yeah I suppose’s. The 10 minute bell rang and you each headed off to your first class, which most of you had together. You, Gerard, and Ray walked into first period English together. Boring. You were able to pick where you wanted to sit, so you sat to the left of Gerard and Ray sat to the right of Gerard. You sat through 45 minutes of sheer boredom, and you could tell Gerard was ready to fall asleep any moment, and well Ray, he was already asleep. You just gave a half smile and zoned out until the bell rang. You were pretty much quiet the next few classes you had, you really didn’t feel like talking to anyone. 4th period lunch came and you and Gerard walked to lunch, just you two. ‘Are you feeling okay,’ he asked. ‘No I’m not okay Gerard. You would think I would be numb to these kind of situations, but truth be told, I’m not,’ you told him. He pulled you close to him, you let a few stray tears fall. ‘Can we sit outside away from everyone, I really don’t want to be with a big group of people right now,’ you asked him. He kissed you on the forehead, ‘what ever you want baby.’ You walked outside after you got your lunch, you both passed by the table and continued walking by. They all looked at you confused, Mikey got up as you and Gerard got to the doors. ‘Hey, where you guys going, we saved you seats.’ You looked at Gerard and he turned and looked at Mikey and lowered his voice, ‘Bree wants to sit outside today, thanks though for saving us seats, maybe tomorrow we’ll join you guys,’ he told him. Mikey got the hint and went back to the table. You and Gerard sat outside at one of the table and at your lunches, which weren’t that bad. ‘Do you wanna talk about it,’ Gerard asked. ‘There’s really not a whole lot to say,’ you shrugged. You sat there for a little while in silence, Gerard started his math homework, and you just kinda sat there thinking. ‘I don’t think I can do it,’ you said, breaking the silence. Gerard looked up and saw a small tear roll down your face, ‘I know baby. It’s hard, but just try to think of all the good memories you had with them,’ he said softly. He got up and sat down next to you and pulled you into a hug, you cuddled into his chest and let a few more stray tears fall down your cheek. The 5 minute bell rang, Gerard kinda shifted a bit, you got up and gathered your things into your bag, he did the same and you walked back into the school. The rest of the day you were pretty quiet, Frankie and Ivy tried to get your spirits up a bit, they managed to get your mind off of things a few times but as son as they stopped your mind went right back to its usual depressed state. You couldn’t take it anymore.
Once the final bell rang, you were home free to your house, Gerard walked you home and helped you pack up most of your things. You excused yourself and grabbed a long sleeved shirt without Gerard noticing and headed into the bathroom. You closed the door and locked it you walked over to the shower and pulled down the razor that was propped up on the ledge of the tub. You looked in the mirror and then dug the razor deep into your under arm, opening the old scars from the last time you did this. You looked down and saw the blood trickle down your arm, you felt release when you saw it. It was as if all the pain was slowly just lifting off of you, you knew you shouldn’t be dealing with things like this but it was quick and simple. ‘Just one small little cut,’ you told your self, vowing not to tell Gerard about this. You heard Gerard knocking on the door, ‘Bree, you alright, you’ve been in there for a while now.’ You sighed, ‘yeah I’ll be out in a few minutes,’ you told him. ‘Alright,’ he said and you heard his foot steps lead back to your room. You cleaned the cut up and made sure the bleeding stop, you could barely see the fresh cut so you didn’t bother with the long sleeve shirt or a band aid either. You walked back to your room, Gerard starring at you. ‘What,’ you asked. He shook his head, ‘nothing.’ You shrugged it off, ‘I hope he doesn’t suspect anything,’ you thought. You finished up packing everything and loaded it all into your car, you didn’t have that much really, it all fit in the back seat and in the trunk. The Way’s had an extra empty bedroom, so you could fill it with all of your stuff, they agreed to let you paint it how ever you wanted it to look. ‘So since you’re such an artist baby, you want to help me paint my room,’ you asked him on the way back to his house. ‘You’re trusting me to help you paint your room,’ he asked, slightly shocked. ‘Yeah sure, why not! I’ve seen your work Gerard, you’re amazing,’ you said and squeezed his hand that was on the arm rest. After a couple of minutes you pulled into Gerard’s drive way. ‘Well, lets get this stuff upstairs,’ he said. After a half hour or so everything was upstairs in the room and set into place. You and Gerard sat on your bed looking at the bare walls. ‘It’s like starting all over,’ you sighed. ‘Yeah, I guess so,’ he said and rubbed your back. You laid your head on his shoulder, he pulled you close and held you in his arms. He rubbed your forearm, he grazed over the cut on your arm and it started to bleed again. ‘How did that happen,’ he asked confused. You winced slightly when it started bleeding again, ‘I accidentally cut myself when we were bringing stuff in, it’s nothing,’ you said wiping away a bit of the blood. ‘Come on lets clean that up, don’t want to get it infected,’ he said and led you to the bathroom. You propped yourself up on the counter, he rummaged through the drawers, and pulled out the rubbing alcohol, a few cotton balls, and a band aid. ‘This is gonna sting,’ he warned and held your hand. He touched it to your cut, it burned like hell, you squeezed his hand, turning it purple. He let go after a few seconds and the stinging went away, ‘uh baby, can you let go now? I can’t feel my hand,’ he asked. ‘Oh yeah, sorry,’ you let go of his hand. He took the band aid out of the wrapper and put it over your cut. ‘All better,’ Gerard said and gave you a smile and a kiss on the forehead. You jumped down off the counter, ‘Gerard, Bree, Mikey! Dinner!’ You heard Mikey run down the stairs to the kitchen, you and Gerard just laughed and walked down stairs. ‘Hey mom can you set 2 extra places, Frankie and Ray are coming over,’ Mikey asked. ‘Yeah sure,’ she said, and soon after the door bell rang , Mikey answered it and ran in, Frankie and Ray. They hugged you and did their silly hand shake with Gerard and Mikey, then took their usual spots at the table. You guys all ate dinner, actually managing not to get into a food fight for a change. Donna was sick of cleaning up after you guys, and you really didn’t feel like playing around. Towards the end of dinner, you really didn’t eat much, your cell phone rang. It was on the counter, Donna got up and looked at the screen, ‘Stephanie,’ she said. You looked up and took it from her, you went outside on the front porch and took the call.
‘Hey, how are you? You never called me back last night,’ Steph said. ‘I was at the hospital,’ you told her. ‘You didn’t try to again, did you,’ she asked with a shaky voice. ‘No, I didn’t,’ you assured her. Even though technically you still did cut yourself once already. ‘Why were you there then,’ she asked. ‘Mom and Jeff got in a car accident,’ you told her. ‘Oh my, how are they? Are they alright,’ she asked. ‘No, they didn’t make it,’ you said quietly. ‘ Oh Bree, I’m so sorry,’ Steph said with a mournful voice. A small tear rolled down your cheek, ‘so what are you going to do?’ ‘I was hoping you and your parents could help set up the arrangements for the funeral this weekend and call up the cemetery where my Dad is buried and reserve the two spots next to him for their places,’ you told her. ‘Yeah, no problem, I’ll get to it right away sweetie,’ she assured you. ‘Thanks,’ you said. ‘No problem, I’m here for you Bree,’ she said. ‘Steph, I have a confession to make,’ you said softly. ‘What,’ she asked. ‘I cut myself earlier,’ you told her. ‘Oh Bree, it will be okay, it’s just going to take some time for things to heal. It wasn’t your fault they died, don’t beat yourself up sweetie,’ Steph answered. You talked for a little while longer and got the other things in place for the funeral and what you wanted and everything. Towards the end of the conversation Gerard came outside and sat down next to you. You wrapped up you conversation and sat there silently together. You heard a rumble come from the gray sky. Rain slowly started to come down on both of you. You didn’t care you were getting wet and Gerard didn’t look like he was going to move anytime soon either. You stood up and started walking towards your car.
‘Where are you going,’ he asked as you got up. ‘For a drive,’ you said. ‘Hold on, I’m going with you,’ he said and caught up to you. You got in your car and Gerard got into the passenger seat. You started driving, after an hour or so Gerard finally asked where you two were going. ‘The cemetery,’ you answered. ‘which one,’ he asked. ‘The one back where I used to live, where my Dad is buried,’ you told him. As you drove the rain began to stop, you weren’t too far from the cemetery, it was already pretty late at night you figured you’d have to stay the night somewhere. You drove through the familiar streets of the life you had before Gerard showed up in your life. It brought back painful memories. You drove around the dark familiar streets, you pulled up to the cemetery gates. You got out of the car, and walked towards the gates in a solitary style and pushed open the old creaky gate. Gerard silently followed behind you. You looked up at the full moon and continued to walk through the cemetery. Gerard walked beside you with his fingers laced with yours. You slowly made your way to your fathers grave, you sat down in front of the grave stone. Gerard sat beside you. ‘I was his little girl, his little angel,’ you said quietly. ‘You always will be, Bree,’ Gerard said with comfort. ‘He was a great Dad, I was ‘Daddy’s little girl’,’ you said. ‘Just because he his gone, doesn’t mean he isn’t watching over you, same with your mom and brother. Bree, they love you and won’t let anything hurt you. The last thing they would want you to do is kill yourself over their passing,’ Gerard said. ‘True,’ you sighed. ‘But why does it have to hurt so much?’ ‘I don’t know baby, it’s just the way humans see death, as painful,’ he answered. ‘You know, I’d rather be a vampire, then I wouldn’t feel anything,’ you said. ‘Aw baby, what about happiness, excitement, and love. I don’t know if I would be able to live knowing that I would never feel those things, especially love,’ he said. You looked at him with a weak smile, ‘I guess you’re right.’ He took his hand in yours, ‘Bree, I’ve been wanting to tell you something, granted I know this hasn’t been the happiest of days for either of us, but I’ve been wanting to say this for a while, seeing you like this is tearing me apart,’ he said. You looked at him, looking into his eyes. ‘Bree, I love you,’ he said and kissed the knuckles of your hand that was in his. He rubbed your ice cold hands between his afterwards. You smiled, ‘I love you too, Gerard.’ You gave a small smile and looked at your fathers headstone, ‘funny how things work.’ ‘What?’ ‘It takes something like death to make you realize what you have in your life, who you have in your life,’ you said and looked back at him. He shook his head, ‘that’s true.’ ‘We should probably go, it’s late,’ you said and got up. Gerard nodded and followed you back to the car. ‘Are we going back home or are we going to stay the night here, even though we technically have school tomorrow,’ Gerard asked. ‘Stay the night, there’s a cheap motel we can stay at, we can call your mom and have her call us in sick tomorrow or whatever, also so she doesn’t worry about us,’ you told him. ‘Good idea. It’s too long of a trip to take back in the middle of the night and try to go to school tomorrow too,’ he said. You pulled into the motel parking lot and walked inside. You and Gerard stood at the counter waiting to get the key to your room, you glanced over and saw two people walk in….

Chapter 12[/u][/b]
You couldn’t believe it. You turned back around quickly, Gerard looked back where you were looking. He saw a guy with brown hair, green eyes and fairly tall and well built. A blond girl was attached to his side, in his opinion she was ugly, and clearly built of plastic and clearly pregnant. ‘You know Pregnant Barbie and Ken,’ Gerard asked. ‘Yes,’ you muttered. ‘Breeeeee,’ you heard your name slurred. You groaned and turned around. You stood closer towards Gerard. ‘Long time no see baby, where did you run off to,’ the guy asked. ‘As far away as possible from you and your slut pregnant bitch,’ you hissed. Gerard looked at you, ‘Alex, you muttered to him. ‘Oh, so this is the jack ass that hurt you 3 months ago,’ Gerard said. Alex was clearly drunk and so was Stella, ‘who the hell are you freak?’ ‘My name doesn’t really matter now does it, you hurt Bree, just leave her alone,’ Gerard said, clearly holding himself back. ‘So you’ve moved onto freaks, Bree?’ ‘He’s not a freak, he’s a thousand times more the man than you will ever be Alex!’ Stella just stood back, behind Alex, she didn’t want to get involved, even though it was all her fault, but you didn’t care anymore. ‘Is that so,’ Alex asked. ‘Yes it is, now leave us alone,’ you said and turned around and the man at the desk handed you your key. You handed the key to Gerard, you felt a hand wrap around your arm and spin you around, you were met by alcohol tainted lips, you pushed him off of you faster than ever. You closed your eyes and you heard a fist get thrown and make contact with someone, you slowly opened your eyes and saw Alex on the ground and Stella kneeling beside him. The man at the desk was gone before any of this happened. Gerard wrapped his arm around your waist, ‘come on, lets go to our room and get away from them.’ You walked to your room and locked the dead blot and chain lock on the door. Even though Alex was in another room passed out, you still didn’t feel safe with just one lock so you locked every lock.
‘You know we don’t have any clothes to sleep in,’ Gerard pointed out. You looked around the room, one bed, one TV, a table, a couple lights and a very small bathroom. ‘Yeah, I know. But we can’t sleep in these wet clothes all night,’ you said looking at your wet shirt and stretching it out. You pulled it off, along with the rest of your clothes, leaving you in your bra and underwear. Gerard just looked at you with his jaw dropped. You rolled your eyes. You walked over and sat on the bed and pulled down the sheets, Gerard got up and took off his wet shirt and pants, leaving him in his boxers. He sat down next to you on the edge of the bed, ‘you know how easily, Gerard, that we could do things tonight?’ ‘I know, but the question is, do you want to do those things?’ You sighed, ‘no, I don’t feel comfortable doing it here for the first time, knowing that my ex boyfriend and his pregnant girlfriend are sleeping in the same motel as we are.’ ‘I understand,’ Gerard said and kissed you on the cheek and crawled over to his side of the bed, you crawled in next to him and turned off the light once you were both situated in the bed. Neither of you could sleep, so you decided to just talk instead. ‘Alright, so when you are ready, to you know, how would you like it,’ Gerard asked. You were surprised he asked you about this. ‘Hmm, that’s a good question. I donno, romantic I guess, not in some shitty motel like this, and with the one I love,’ you said poking him in the shoulder. He smiled. ‘How bout you,’ you asked him. ‘The same, but not only romantic but in a beautiful place too,’ he said. ‘Aw, yea that would be nice,’ you said and kissed him softly. You talked for another hour or so before cuddling up together and falling asleep in each others arms.
You woke up the next morning to your cell phone ringing. You moaned at first and then realized what the sound was. Gerard wasn’t awake yet, you quietly slipped out of bed and picked up your cell phone. You looked at the time, 11am. ‘shit,’ you muttered. You looked at the number, it was Mikey’s. You answered it, ‘hey.’ ‘Hey, where are you guys?!?! You didn’t come home last night after dinner, mom is worried, is Gerard with you?’ Mikey said a thousand questions all at once. ‘Slow down, yeah Gerard is with me,’ you told him. ‘Where are you,’ he asked. ‘New York,’ you told him. ‘What?!’ ‘Calm down, we’re in my hometown where I grew up, Gerard came with me last night to see my dad’s grave and it was too late for us to drive home last night so we stayed at a motel for the night, we were gonna call you guys last night but it must have slipped our minds. But yeah, looks like you called first,’ you told him quietly. ‘Why are you talking so quietly,’ Mikey asked. ‘Gerard is still asleep,’ you said. ‘Figures, he can sleep till 3 in the afternoon if he wanted to,’ Mikey said. ‘Lemme talk to her,’ you heard in the back round. ‘Fine here,’ you heard Mikey say. ‘BREE! Where the fuck are you?! You and Gerard didn’t like run off and get married did you,’ you heard Frankie’s voice yell into the phone. You laughed and pulled the phone away from your ear. ‘Yeah Frankie we got married,’ you told him with a serious tone. ‘No you didn’t?! Did you? OMG that’s so crazy,’ Frankie exclaimed. ‘Calm down, no we didn’t get married. Gerard came with me to see my Dad’s grave and we stayed at a motel for the night,’ you told him the truth. ‘You guys didn’t like fuck did you,’ he asked. ‘Now why would I tell you something like that,’ you asked him. ‘I donno,’ he said, ‘did you?’ ‘No Frankie, I’m still a virgin,’ you answered him. ‘Aw really, damn,’ he laughed. ‘Sorry to disappoint you Frankie, can you put Mikey back on, I need to tell him something,’ you asked. ‘Yeah sure,’ he said and Mikey was back on the phone. ‘Hey, yeah, can you call your mom and tell her where we’re at and have her call us in sick or something. When Gerard gets up, we’re gonna get breakfast or whatever and then come home,’ you told him. ‘Yeah sure,’ he said. ‘Thanks, do you think she’ll be pissed,’ you asked. ‘Nah, when she finds out where you went, she’ll understand,’ Mikey assured you. You sighed with relief, ‘thanks.’ ‘no problem, you know you can talk to me about anything, I maybe a sophomore but I come in handy you know,’ he laughed. You laughed too, ‘alright Mikey, thanks again. We’ll see you guys tonight okay?’ You hung up with him and looked over at a still sleeping Gerard. You walked over to the bed and laid down softly next to him and looked at him while he slept. After a half hour or so he started to wake up. ‘Good afternoon sleepy head,’ you said. He smiled and yawned,’ how long have you been up?’ ‘Oh about 45 minutes or so,’ you told him. ‘Why didn’t you wake me up?’ ‘Well, you looked so god damn hott sleeping I didn’t want to wake you up,’ you said with an innocent smile. He smiled and kissed you on the lips softly. ‘what time is it,’ he asked. ‘Quarter to 12,’ you told him. ‘Really?! Shit! We never called my mom or anyone to let them know where we were,’ he said and sat up straight. ‘Calm down, Mikey called a little while ago, I told him everything and asked him to tell your mom for us,’ you calmed him down. He let out a deep breath and fell back down, hitting his head on the pillow. You smiled and crawled on top of him, straddling yourself on him. He raised an eyebrow and smiled. He puts his hands on your hips, you leaned down and kissed him on the lips, lightly at first and then adding pressure as seconds went by. He ran his tongue along your bottom lip asking for permission, you slightly opened your mouth and allowed him in. You started making out and ended up repositioning yourselves where Gerard was on top of you. You felt his hands move along your sides, rubbing your stomach with his thumb. You moaned into his mouth and you felt him smile. You felt his hands work their way up your back and touch the clasp on your bra. You pulled away and waved a finger at him, ‘not gonna happen baby, sorry,’ you said. He pouted, ‘alright, but don’t tease me like that,’ he said. ‘I know, I can be such a tease,’ you laughed and got off of him. You walked over to your clothes that were thankfully now dry. ‘I’m gonna jump in the shower and take a quick one and then change, while you, well you get to sit there and do nothing for 10 minutes,’ you laughed and walked into the bathroom.
You took your shower and Gerard went after you. Around 12:45 you two were ready to go, you went down to the motel counter and gave back the key and paid the guy for the room. You felt your stomach growl, it was lunch time and you were starving. ‘Gerard how much money do we have,’ you asked as you looked through your purse for your wallet. You found it and pulled out $10, he reached for his wallet and pulled out also $10. ‘Hmm, looks like we can eat lunch,’ you said and headed out to your car. You got in and drove to a diner you and Steph used to eat at all the time, you actually half expected to see her there, but you figured she would be busy reserving the funeral home and grave plots for you. She didn’t know you were in town and you really didn’t want to see her, seeing Alex and Stella was enough for you right now. You knew if you saw Steph, you’d never get back home. You pulled into the diner parking lot and went inside and ordered your food. The place was rather empty, which surprised you, okay maybe it didn’t, school was in session, of course no one was going to really be there. You recognized a few faces but didn’t say anything to them. All they knew was that your family left, the only person who knew where you all went was Steph and she didn’t tell anyone. Some people looked at you like they had seen a ghost or something. You shrugged it off and ate your lunch. You and Gerard talked most of the time, mostly to keep your mind off of things, he was doing everything he could to keep you happy. You felt his hand touch your thigh, (the tables are small okay, so he can reach), you felt him run his finger up and down your thigh, you couldn’t help but smile. You felt goose bumps form from his touch. You decided to play back a bit, you ran your foot up his leg, moving it up and down, you saw a smile form on his face when he was looking down at his food, reaching for another fry. You both started giggling like little kids. You couldn’t help it. It was weird smiling but you couldn’t help it at that point. You and Gerard finished up your lunch and made the long haul of a trip back home to Newark.
‘So you think everyone is gonna freak when they find out where we went,’ you asked. ‘Nah, they’ll understand when we tell them, so did you make all the arrangements with your friend last night,’ he asked. ‘Yeah, we had it all sorted out before you came outside last night,’ you said. ‘That’s good,’ he nodded. ‘Yeah, I guess all that is left is the funeral,’ you said softly. ‘Yeah,’ he said. You sighed and you kept on driving. After a couple more hours of driving you pulled into the Way’s driveway. Gerard fell asleep on the way home, you poked him in the arm, he didn’t budge. You kissed him softly on the cheek and then down his neck. You saw his mouth curl up into a small smile, you gave a sly smile and then whispered into his ear, ‘Baby, we’re home.’ He opened up one eye, ‘aw really, man I was having the best dream too.’ ‘Oh and what about,’ you said. ‘you, and other things,’ he said with an evil grin. You smiled and kissed him on the lips and then got out of the car. ‘You know you really gotta stop doing this to me,’ he moaned as he got out of the car. ‘What am I doing,’ you asked. He smiled and walked over to you as you sat on the hood of the car, he placed his hands on your waist and kissed you. You pulled him in deeper into the kiss and leaned back onto the hood, Gerard leaned forward with you. Gerard was the only thing holding you up on the car hood. After a few minutes, you both heard voices coming towards you, neither of you pulled away. You didn’t car, you were both extremely happy where you were at and didn’t want to break away. You both had your eyes closed, so you didn’t notice the group of people walking up the drive way. Mikey, Ray, Frankie, Ivy, Courtney, and Vanessa were walking up the drive way. They were wrapped up in their conversations and didn’t notice your car in the drive way, until they saw you and Gerard going at it on the car hood.

Chapter 13[/u][/b]
You heard a couple whistles and one moan. ‘Ahhhh, my eyes,’ Mikey said as he went inside. Gerard pulled up and glanced over at him and laughed and then started kissing you again. ‘Come on you two, give it a rest,’ you heard Ray say. You put your arms on Gerard’s shoulders and broke away and nodded. Gerard sighed and got up and helped you stand up next to him. ‘Well, now that my boyfriend saw all that, I doubt he’s gonna wanna kiss me for a while,’ Vanessa said and walked inside the house after Mikey. Once Vanessa was in the house, Frankie and Ray started laughing. Ivy and Courtney looked at each other. ‘So what brings you all to the Way household,’ Gerard asked. ‘We were gonna hang out here until you guys got home, which it appears you already are home. So I guess, we could just all hang out tonight,’ Courtney said. ‘SLEEPOVER,’ Frankie yelled. ‘YAY,’ Ray said and jumped up and down. All of you laughed. Ray and Frankie look at each other and then look away with embarrassment. ‘Aww look our babies are embarrassed,’ Courtney said and kissed Ray on the cheek. He smiled and put his hands around her waist. ‘I’m not embarrassed,’ Frankie retorted. ‘I donno baby, you seemed to be kind of flushed with pretty pink there,’ Ivy teased. Frankie looked around to avoid the subject. ‘But can we still sleep over,’ Frankie asked with a small voice. ‘Yeah sure, it’s Friday, mom won’t care,’ Gerard said. You guys all went inside to find Mikey and Vanessa making out on the couch. All of you stood there in shock, you had never seen them go at it before, ever, if they did none of you were ever around to see it. You all quietly went downstairs and just walked away from what was going on in the family room. Once the basement door was closed and locked, Gerard turned on the stereo and let the music play, once the song got loud enough you all burst out laughing. ‘Man I never knew that kid had it in him, he just didn’t seem like that kind of type,’ Ray said. ‘Yeah really, he’s cute and all but I didn’t think he had that side,’ Courtney added. ‘So Gerard how does it feel to see your brother going at it like you and Bree were just outside a little while ago,’ Frankie asked and punch Gerard in the arm. ‘Shut up Frankie,’ Gerard said and rubbed his arm. ‘Awww is it really that bad sweetie,’ you asked. ‘No, it’s just weird seeing my LITTLE brother doing that sort of stuff I guess,’ he said. ‘Aw come on man, you were doing that kind of stuff at his age,’ Ray said. You raised an eyebrow. You could tell this made Gerard uneasy, you remember Ivy telling you he hasn’t had the best of luck with girls in the past. ‘Alright guys, time to drop the subject,’ you said. Gerard gave you a thankful look. You kissed him on the cheek. Ray and Frankie jumped onto the couch and attacked the play station system and controls. ‘Boys,’ Ivy and Courtney muttered together, they looked at them with their arms crossed, across their chests. Moments later Frankie and Ray were going at it on some racing game and Ivy and Courtney sat down next to them and just watched in boredom.
You and Gerard went off into the closed off room that had a lot of his comics, drawings, songs, and poems scattered everywhere. ‘So is this like your little hide out place,’ you asked. ‘Yeah sorta, it lets me think and get away from everything for a while, usually when I’m upset or something is bothering me,’ he told you and closed the door behind him. You picked up a piece of paper that had a drawing on it, it looked sad, depressing, and also disturbing. ‘When was the last time you were in here,’ you asked. ‘It’s been a long time actually, since like June, before you moved in,’ he said. ‘Ever since I met you, I’ve been so happy Bree, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me,’ he said and stood behind you and snaked his hands around your waist. You looked down at your arm, that band aid, you felt so guilty. Why did you do it? You knew that you shouldn’t have, it would kill him if he knew the truth behind it. He deserves to know, but you didn’t know how to tell him, or why you really had to move. You always just told him that your mom had a job transfer to here and that your brother was going to school out here, which was true, but the real reason you came, you never said. He did eventually ask about the bandages on your arm, you told him you tripped one day on the sidewalk and they got all scrapped up, the scars were small but you could still see them. ‘I love you,’ he whispered into your ear. ‘I love you too,’ you said and let a small tear escape. ‘Why are you crying sugar,’ he asked. ‘It’s nothing,’ you said. ‘It’s hardly nothing, is there something else bothering you, I can’t help but think it’s not just your mom and brother’s death that is bothering you,’ he said with a worried tone. You sighed and sat down in the chair at the drawing desk. Gerard kneeled down next to you, ‘what is it?’ You looked down at your arm and then back at him. ‘I don’t know how to tell you but my past, I never exactly told you the whole truth why I’m here,’ you started. ‘I’m listening baby, you can tell me anything, I will still love you no matter what your past holds,’ Gerard assured you. You took in a deep breath and relaxed.
‘I told you why I moved here was because of my mom and brother, remember? Well, that’s true but it’s not the whole truth,’ you started. ‘What’s the whole truth,’ he asked. You grazed your finger along your arm, ‘you see these scars?’ ‘Faintly, but yes,’ he said and looked up at you into your eyes. ‘They weren’t from tripping down the stairs,’ you sighed. ‘Gerard, the night Alex and I got in a fight and ended things, because I found out he was cheating on me. I well,’ you said swallowing back tears. ‘I was in the hospital for a week, I started cutting myself that night and drank a whole bottle of alcohol,’ you said a few tears started rolling down your face. ‘Baby, is there a reason why you are telling me this now,’ he asked. You nodded, ‘yes, I wasn’t telling you the truth when I said I cut myself bringing stuff inside. When I was in the bathroom earlier, I cut myself. I know I shouldn’t have but I did, I didn’t know what to do t the time,’ you said through your tears. ‘I’m so sorry Gerard,’ you cried. ‘Who found you after you did it the first time,’ he asked. ‘J-Jeff,’ you stuttered, ‘that’s why it makes things so hard for me, he saved my life but I wasn’t there to save his.’ You started crying into the palms of your hand, Gerard pulled you into a loving embrace. He rubbed his hand on your back, trying to calm your tears, ‘sweetie, it’s alright. It’s not your fault he’s gone. He wouldn’t want you to kill yourself over this, he’d rather see you happy.’ ‘I know ,but it’s just so hard,’ you sobbed. ‘I know baby, I know. I’m here for you, we all are. Just promise me you won’t cut again, I couldn’t bare the pain if I lost you,’ he said. You slowly stopped crying and wiped away the last of your tears, and nodded. He took your hand in his and laced your fingers together. You gave a smile, he was the last person you ever wanted to hurt, you loved him. ‘I love you,’ he said and kissed you softly on the lips. ‘I love you too,’ you whispered back. ‘Come on, the others are probably wondering where we are. Who knows what mess they have gotten themselves into or what their dirty little minds are thinking,’ he laughed. ‘Yeah, but I look like shit, do we have to go out there right away,’ you asked. ‘Aw baby, you’re beautiful no matter what to me,’ he said and helped you up. You rolled your eyes and tried to wipe away the last bit of tears and rub away the running eyeliner and mascara. You headed towards the door behind Gerard, hand in hand. You stopped, ‘they were right.’ ‘What? Who,’ Gerard asked before he opened the door. ‘My mom and Jeff, they said that this move would be better for me, to get me away from my past and start over, they were right,’ you explained. ‘Indeed they were, they made things better for both of us. I’m glad you moved here, if you hadn’t who knew what kind of mess I would be into. Before you came here Bree, I was a complete mess, I hid away from everyone, ever girl I got into a relationship with rejected me when things would start to get serious, I thought there was something wrong with me, so I would spend my time in here, I would draw and write poems and songs, just to dump all my pain into. For a while I started drinking, like really drinking, but the day I saw you in your drive way, I knew things were going to change, and for the better, and they have Bree, they really have,’ Gerard said. ‘Your mom and brother brought us together with out even knowing it and they were happy for us, they want you to be happy,’ he said and kissed you softly on the lips. You smiled and kissed him back.
‘DINNER,’ Mikey yelled down the stairs. You heard trampling going up the stairs to the kitchen. ‘Guess we should go eat,’ you said. ‘You sure, we don’t have to we can eat after they are done,’ Gerard said. ‘Nah, come on, I’m tired of crying. I’d rather go eat and hang out with everyone, besides we’re having a sleep over, re we not,’ you said with a smile. ‘Aw see you’re smiling. Yeah sleep over, this should be interesting,’ he said. You guys headed upstairs to the kitchen. ‘We saved coo seats,’ Frankie said with a mouth full. ‘Don’t talk with your mouth full,’ Ivy said. ‘What? Immma not,’ he said with his mouth full of spaghetti. She rolled her eyes and he continued to eat. Mikey sat next to Vanessa, to her left was Ivy, then Frankie, then Ray then Courtney. You sat next to Courtney and Gerard sat next to you in the empty seat by Vanessa. You both loaded your plates up with food, you haven’t eaten a whole lot since the night at the hospital, except for the food at the diner. ‘so what do you guys wanna do tonight,’ Vanessa asked. ‘O o o I know,’ Ray said with his arm raised. ‘Truth or dare and spin the bottle,’ he said. ‘No spin the bottle, that’s just gross, kissing each others boyfriends and girlfriends, no spin the bottle,’ Courtney said. ‘But can we still play truth or dare?’ ‘Yeah, that’s fun! I wanna see Mikey run around outside in just his underwear again,’ Frankie laughed. ‘That will NOT happen again, Frankie! I was 10 and stupid, I will never do that again, plus it was fucking freezing out when I did that, which was even more stupid,’ Mikey protested. ‘Yeah really, mom had a fit after that, but it is August, and you can’t back down from a dare, besides it’s hilarious,’ Gerard laughed. Everyone else burst out with laughter. ‘Oh Bree you’re in for a treat, truth or dare is so much fun with these guys,’ Ivy said laughing. ‘That’s right we haven’t played that with you yet,’ Gerard said. ‘Oh god, I donno if I want to play,’ you said. ‘Oh don’t worry, we won’t make you run around outside in your underwear, even though that wouldn’t be such a bad sight,’ Frankie said. Gerard glared at him, and Ivy smacked him in the back of the head. ‘What? I was just saying out loud what Gerard was thinking,’ he said innocently. ‘We don’t want to hear Gerard’s thoughts coming out of your mouth,’ Ivy said, pretty pissed off. Gerard just sat back and didn’t say anything, you looked at him and rolled your eyes. You guys all finished up eating and headed outside into the back yard. ‘Swimming pool,’ Frankie yelled and ran towards it. ‘NO,’ you all yelled in unison. You remembered what happened the first time you went in that pool, with all of your clothes on. You were scared to even know what kind of antics were going to be thought up tonight, but you couldn’t wait.
You guys all played truth or dare for a little while, watched a couple movies, you ended up turning in early. ‘Sorry guys, but the funeral is on Sunday and I’m driving down there tomorrow and staying the night there, if this wasn’t happening I would so stay up with you guys all night, but I’m sorry I can’t,’ you excused yourself and headed upstairs. Gerard watched you get up from the couch and walk up to your room. ‘How’s she holding up,’ Courtney asked. ‘She’s coping with it, it’s still painful for her, but she’ll be alright,’ Gerard said. ‘I’m gonna head up too, I’m going with her so yea, guess it’d be best if I turned in, don’t tear the house apart, mom will have a fit if she finds the house totally trashed,’ Gerard warned and headed up stairs. You changed into your pajama pants and a sports bra, you looked yourself over in the mirror, your make up was gone and you didn’t care. You pulled your hair up into a pony tail, you heard the door open and close behind you. You turned and saw Gerard standing there, ‘hey.’ ‘Hey,’ you said back. ‘How are you doing,’ he asked. You walked over and sat down on the bed, he came and sat down next to you, he placed his hand on your thigh. ‘Alright I guess, tonight helped a lot,’ you said with a smile. ‘I’m afraid to go back there tomorrow,’ you said. ‘Because of Alex,’ he asked. ‘Sorta, but there are so many painful memories there. I don’t think I can handle it all at once,’ you said. ‘Don’t worry about it, I’ll be there with you, if Alex comes by you, which I doubt he will, I’ll stay by your side. No matter what I’m always here for you, forever and always,’ he said and kissed you on the cheek. ‘Thank you Gerard, you have no idea how much that means to mean,’ you said and laid your head on his shoulder. ‘I think the movie is over down there, Courtney and Mikey were the only ones really up when I left them down there a little while ago. I doubt they will miss us, wanna just have our own little sleep over up here,’ Gerard suggested. You smiled, ‘but no funny business.’ ‘Promise, when you want me, I’m all yours but until then my hands are off, that is unless you want them in certain places, there’s no objections coming from me,’ Gerard laughed. ‘You’re aloud to touch me, you just can’t have me like that yet baby,’ you said. ‘Mm well, touching, I like the sound of that,’ he laughed. ‘I’m sure you do,’ you said and pushed him lightly. ‘I’ll be right back, I’ll go change really quick, don’t fall asleep on me,’ he said and kissed you on the forehead. He was gone no les than two minutes, ‘that was fast!’ ‘What can I say, how often does a guy get to sleep in the same bed with the one he loves with his whole heart,’ he says with a grin across his face. ‘You did the past two nights,’ you said. ‘Third times the charm,’ he said and jumped on the bed. ‘Yeah, I guess, lucky number three,’ you said and crawled under the covers with him. ‘Should we set the alarm,’ you asked. ‘Nah, we should be up early, if not my mom will come in and wake us up,’ he said. ‘Wait, will she approve of this, you know, us in the same bed,’ you asked. ‘I donno, but she likes you, and she trusts us and knows we wouldn’t dare to do anything under her roof,’ Gerard laughed. ‘True,’ you said and yawned. ‘Aw sleepy,’ Gerard said with a cute voice. He kissed you on the cheek and yawned too, ‘guess we both need to sleep,’ you said and kissed him on the cheek. You cuddled into his chest and he held you in his arms as you both fell asleep, safe and content.

Chapter 14[/b][/u]
You woke up the next morning to Gerard’s hand massaging your stomach and working its way up. ‘Hmm naughty little boy,’ you thought. You rolled over so you were facing him, he was smiling and looked like he just woke up. ‘Good morning,’ he said. ‘Good morning,’ you answered. ‘We should probably get up, we have a trip to make today,’ you said. He groaned, ‘yeah I know.’ ‘Come on, up before the others do, we can eat and then leave without them causing us to get delayed,’ he suggested. You both rolled out of the bed and slowly walked down the kitchen. To your surprise Donna was already up and making pancakes! ‘Hey mom,’ Gerard said groggily. ‘Hi sweeties, I made you breakfast,’ she said and walked over with two plates full of pancakes. You two quickly ate them up and then ran upstairs to pack a couple things before you left. You packed up a nice blouse and skirt, along with a nice pair of black shoes. Gerard had a pair of black pants, a black shirt, a red tie, and a pair of nice black shoes too. You threw in a couple t-shirts and a couple pairs of jeans too, just in case, so did Gerard. You both brought your sketch pads along, just for something to do during your down time. Donna gave you guys both money for meals and to pay for the hotel and such. No longer than a half hour you two were out of the house and on the road back to New York. Gerard spent most of the time sleeping while you drove. The funeral and mass was tomorrow, you had no idea how you were going to hold up through all of that. You had to make a speech too, you never were good at talking in front of crowds ever, you hated being in the spot light. That’s why you wore black and kept to yourself a lot, you didn’t like being around a lot of people all at once and being the main focus at the same time. It scared you.
Once you got into your hometown you woke Gerard up, ‘sweetie, get up, we’re almost there. I need to make a stop though first, is that alright with you?’ He grumbled a ‘yes’ and you drove down an all too familiar street, Stephanie’s street. You pulled into her driveway and got out of the car, Gerard slightly woke up but fell back asleep. You walked up to the door and rang the door bell, it was answered by a very tired Steph. ‘Hey,’ you said. Her eyes opened up wider, ‘hey, come on it,’ she offered. ‘Sorry, I wish I could but I have my boyfriend with me and yeah, he’s asleep in the car. I just came by to make sure everything was ready for tomorrow,’ you explained. ‘Boyfriend, since when did you Miss Bree get a boyfriend?’ ‘Since 2 months ago,’ you told her. ‘And why was I never informed about this?’ ‘ I donno, I guess it never really came to mind when we talked, but yeah is everything set?’ ‘Oh yeah, it is, don’t worry everything is exactly how you wanted it,’ she said and gave you a hug. ‘So I guess you wanna see him, huh?’ ‘Guess? Hell yeah! I wanna know who this Prince Charming is, the one you’ve been with for 2 months, come on let’s see if I think he’s worthy of you,’ she said and dragged you back to your car. Gerard was awake and had a confused look on his face, you laughed to yourself. You walked over to his side of the car, his window was down, ‘hey sweetie, enjoy your nap,’ you said as you leaded on the door. ‘Yeah, but can I ask you this, where are we?’ You opened the car door and he got out and looked at Stephanie. ‘Gerard this is Stephanie, she is my best friend,’ you introduced. ‘ah so you’re the famous Steph, Bree here would never shut up about,’ he said and pulled out his hand. She took it and they shook hands and smiled at Bree, ‘I like him.’ Gerard laugh, ‘I didn’t know I was being judged?’ ‘Ah no worries, you passed with flying colors,’ she said. ‘Well that’s good to know,’ he said with a grin. ‘Ah hate to break the introductions, but yeah, we need to check into the motel and I have a couple things I wanted to do,’ you interrupted. ‘Alright, it was a pleasure to meet you Gerard. I hope you two stay together for a very long time,’ Steph said. ‘Thank you, it was a pleasure meeting the famous Steph. Don’t worry, she is in good arms, thing’s won’t be breaking anytime soon, most likely never,’ he said pulling you close to him and looking into your eyes. ‘Aw how sweet,’ she said. You and Gerard smiled, ‘well best be off.’ ‘Yeah, I’ll see you two tomorrow,’ Steph said as you both got into the car. You waved good bye and drove off to the motel. You chose a different one this time, you didn’t want to risk bumping into Alex and Stella again after the other night.
You pulled into the new motel parking lot and went inside with your things and got the key to the room you already reserved. This place was much nicer than the last one and you felt comfortable here. You and Gerard headed to your room and got yourselves comfortable. ‘So what time did they all say they were coming down,’ Gerard asked. ‘They were gonna leave this afternoon and meet us tonight for dinner,’ you told him. The rest of your friends, and Gerard’s parents were coming down to New York for the funeral but were leaving later than you and Gerard did. You wanted to spend some alone time with Gerard before this whole thing happened. You and Gerard pretty much stayed in the room all day, you ordered room service for lunch and watched T.V. most of the day. Neither of you felt like really going anywhere, mainly because you were afraid of seeing Alex around or your old friends. People you wanted to leave behind, you hated your life here, why would you want to see any of it again. You were happy and content with Gerard in Newark, you loved him more than ever and were thankful to have him in your life. 5 o’clock rolled around and you could hear people running through the halls, you and Gerard looked at each other after you heard a loud thud. ‘What the fuck was that,’ he laughed and ran towards the door and looked out the peep hole. ‘Um, why don’t you just open the door and get a better look,’ you said and opened the door, peering into the hallway. You heard running and screaming coming from one end of the hall that was making it’s way around the corner, then you saw Frankie coming right towards you. ‘Inside,’ you said and quickly closed the door. ‘I think our friends are playing and extreme version of tag,’ you laughed. ‘Really? Aw come on lets join them,’ Gerard said with a cute puppy dog face. ‘Do you wanna get kicked out of the hotel,’ you asked. ‘Well no, but come on, extreme tag is fun,’ he pleaded. ‘Fine you can go, I’ll just sit back and watch with the other girls,’ you said. ‘Yay,’ he screamed and ran out into the hallway after giving you a kiss on the cheek. He ran out of the hotel room and down the hall after Frankie.
You walked down the hallway to where Ivy, Courtney, and Vanessa were hanging out. You knocked on the door, Courtney answered it, ‘hey babe!’ ‘Hey, mind if I join you guys,’ you asked. ‘Yeah sure come on in, we’re having girl chat time,’ she said and let you into the room. Ivy and Vanessa were on the bed talking as you entered the room. ‘Hey guys, Bree’s here,’ Courtney said. ‘Yay!’ Vanessa got up and hugged you and Ivy did right after. ‘Come on, we were just talking about dirty little secrets about stuff with the boys,’ Vanessa said. You laughed, ‘oh really? What kind of secrets?’ Vanessa looked around the room innocently, ‘oh those kind of secrets huh,’ you said, getting what she meant. ‘Yeah, those kind,’ Ivy laughed. ‘Alright so what did I miss,’ you asked. ‘Hmm well, Vanessa just finished up her lovely details of a few times she had some fun with Mikey,’ Ivy said and winked at her. ‘Oh, we didn’t go that far,’ Vanessa protested. ‘I’m only 16, come on at least it wasn’t as far as you and Frankie,’ she shot back. Ivy put her hand on her chest, ‘what? We love each other, besides it was only once,’ she said with a matter of fact tone. ‘Right, just once,’ Courtney said, rolling her eyes. Ivy gave her a slight shove. ‘What are you saying you’ve done it more,’ Ivy said to Courtney. ‘I’m not saying that, I’m just saying, you’re not as innocent as you say, besides I’m still a virgin, thank you very much,’ she said nodding her head proudly. ‘Alright Bree, come on, tell us, how are things with Gerard,’ Vanessa asked. ‘Well, he’s a good kisser,’ you said with a shrug. ‘Hmm really now? Well that’s a good thing,’ Courtney said. ‘Yeah I guess it is,’ you slightly laughed. They all looked at you, ‘what?’ They just shook their heads, ‘oh you’re wondering if we? Oh.’ ‘Well,’ they said in unison. ‘Nope,’ you said shaking your head. ‘Really,’ Ivy said surprised. ‘What? We’ve only been together for 2 months, why is there like something wrong with that,’ you asked. ‘No, it’s just, you’re the longest relationship Gerard has ever had, most girls like him, use him, then dump him and move on to the next guy. If my memory is correct, you are his longest girlfriend and you fit so perfectly together,’ Ivy explained. ‘How long have you guys all known him,’ you asked. ‘10 years,’ Ivy answered. ‘Only 4 for me,’ Vanessa said. ‘6ish I think,’ Courtney said. ‘Wow, so you guys are a tight nit group,’ you pointed out. ‘Yeah pretty much,’ Courtney said. You found out that Ivy met the guys in grade school, Frankie first and then she met Gerard and Mikey, along with Ray. Vanessa met Mikey back in junior high, she had a crush on Mikey and she would help him with his science homework after school and that’s how she met the rest of the guys. Courtney and Ray met at summer camp when they were younger, they became best friends and he introduced her to the rest of the guys when summer camp ended. Ever since they all met each other they have been rather close, and now it was you as the new member of the group. ‘So um how many girlfriends has Gerard had,’ you asked. ‘A few, but honestly none of us liked them very much, they were all so fake and all wanted one thing, and he wouldn’t give it to them so they would dump him,’ Ivy told you. ‘Oh ah, that makes a few things make more sense now,’ you thought. You sat there thinking with a blank expression across your face, which soon was interrupted by screaming and you all being knocked off the bed, by none other than the guys.
Gerard helped you off the ground and back onto the bed, ‘sorry bout that sugar,’ he said while catching his breath. You hopped back on the bed next to him, ‘no problem, nothing is broken.’ Frankie and Ivy got into a tickle fight on the floor, Mikey and Vanessa started attacking each other with pillows. Ray chased Courtney around the room, while you and Gerard snuggled up on the bed next to each other. You two just sat back and watched everyone else look like fools and laughed at them. ‘So what were you guys doing in here,’ Gerard whispered. You smiled, ‘girl talk,’ you answered. ‘Oh and what did this girl talk consist of,’ he asked curiously. ‘Hmm well, lets just say none of us are as innocent as we look,’ you said and kissed him on the cheek. He raised and eyebrow and tickled your sides. You laughed as you squirmed in his arms. Ivy glanced at the clock, it was already 5:30. ‘Hey don’t we have reservations at 7?’ ‘Yeah we do,’ you said. ‘aw looks like play time is over baby,’ Courtney said to Ray. ‘Yep, I guess we should go get ready huh,’ Vanessa chimed in. ‘Yeah come on, lets go get ready,’ you excused yourself and Gerard. Everyone went off to their own rooms to get ready for dinner. About an hour later you all met downstairs in the lobby, dressed and ready to go. ‘Food,’ Frankie and Ray yelled and ran out to the cars. You all laughed and followed them out, you each got into your own cars and drove to the restaurant. Dinner was full of laughter and chatting. Occasionally you guys would get some stares from people in the restaurant but none of you cared, you were trying to have fun, even though what was coming the next day, the funeral. Around 10 or so you guys finished up eating and headed back to the hotel for the night. You all when your separate ways for the night getting rest for tomorrow. You and Gerard went back to your room, you sat down on the bed and he sat down next to you. You closed your eyes for a moment and laid your head on his shoulder, you glanced down at what was in your hands. It was the prayer cards with your mom and brothers name on it. I Loving Memory: Helen Marie Harmony and Jeffery Adam Harmony. May They Rest In Peace You sighed and put the card on the night stand near the bed. You silently got up and grabbed some pajama’s and changed in the bathroom. When you came out Gerard was already in bed waiting for you, you snuggled up next to him and you both fell asleep after a good night kiss.

Chapter 15[/b][/u]
You heard the alarm clock buzzing to wake you up. You saw a pale arm reach over and slam it off. ‘That thing is fucking annoying,’ you heard Gerard grumble. You groaned a bit and rolled to the side of the bed. Today was the day, you had a hard time believing it but it was your last good bye to them, the last two people in your life that loved you your whole life. Now, they were gone, and will be buried with the other member of your family, you never fully soaked it all in until now. You had shed silent tears and silently walked off to the bathroom to shower and get ready. When you came back into the room, Gerard ran into the bathroom and got ready too. You sat down on the bed to think for a little bit, settle your nerves. You held back your tears, you knew you were going to be shedding many of them later, you didn’t want to start now. After 20 minutes, Gerard came out ready to go, the wake was going to be in the morning and afternoon and then the burial will be at sunset. He straightened out his red tie and sat down next to you, ‘how are you doing?’ You shrugged, ‘still trying to soak it all in.’ He put his arm around you and rubbed your back slowly, ‘do you know what you are going to say?’ You sighed, ‘no idea, it’ll to me to me when I’m up there.’ He shook his head and kissed you on the cheek. ‘Come on, we should go, it will be starting soon,’ he whispered and held your hand as you walked out of the room and down to the car. When you arrived at the funeral home some people were already there. Some old neighbors and family friends had arrived only a few minutes before you and Gerard. It had been a while since you’ve seen the familiar faces and it was nice to see them again. The rest of your friends showed up a little after you, along with their parents and Gerard’s parents too. You saw most of your relatives as the day passed on. You didn’t have a very big family and they weren’t really that close, you figured that was why it didn’t bother your mom so much to move, she wasn’t really leaving all that much behind anyways. You only saw your extended family on Christmas and maybe big parties scattered about the year. But other than that, they were complete strangers to you. Soon it was time for your speech, you still had no clue what to say. You slowly made your way up to the podium and looked at everyone and then over at the caskets. You looked down and then looked up again and began your speech.
‘I guess this is where I talk about how wonderful my mom and brother were over the years. That isn’t a lie either, they really were great, Jeff was a big football star and planning on going pro one day, and he had the talent to go that far too. He was never cocky about himself, he treated everyone with respect, except me, hah, brotherly love as he said it was, but I loved him regardless of the joking and fighting we had. My mom, Helen, she was probably one of the best mom’s out there, she loved life, she worked at everything she strived for and as a single mother with two teenage children she made life better than you could even imagine. She wasn’t just a mother, she was a nurse too, a soccer mom, and a great woman. She was over protective at times, but it was out of the goodness of her heart. They may not be with us now, but they are watching over us every day that passes by, standing next to my dad who was there to meet them on the other side. They will be greatly missed in this world, but as I see it, they are in a better place, rather than painfully sitting in a hospital room grabbing onto their life. From what I was told they went peacefully in their sleep with very little pain felt. I’m grateful for that. They will be missed but always loved.’ [/b]
You looked down and let a few tears roll down your cheeks as you made your way back next to Gerard. ‘That was a very nice speech, Bree, look around you reached out to everyone,’ Gerard said and gave you a hug and a kiss on the forehead. Soon it was time to bring them to the cemetery where they will be buried, everyone filed into their cars and the caskets were loaded into the hearses, the guys helped carry your mom and your cousins carried your brother’s caskets. They loaded them in and you all drove off in a line to the cemetery. Everyone stood around the two plots where they would be lowered shortly after the last bit of the ceremony, everyone put a red rose on your mothers casket and a white rose on your brothers. You looked and saw many crying but you, you were too numb now to cry. The priest said a few prayers and soon everyone was leaving. You stayed behind a while longer before they were to be set into the ground. You said your last good byes and went back to the car where Gerard was waiting for you. He held you in a tight embrace and opened up the car door. You let him drive back to the hotel. Considering it was late, there wasn’t a dinner afterwards, you and Gerard just ordered room service and went to bed, you were leaving early the next morning, but still will missing school again.
Everyone was, none of you really wanted to go to school that day anyways. You all just wanted to stay home and relax after the last few days. You all knew you had to go to school tomorrow so you all went your separate ways when you got back to Newark. (Gerard drove on the way back home.) when you got home you walked upstairs to your room and unpacked the few things you had brought with you to New York. You turned on your stereo and put in a CD and kept it on low, you laid down on your bed and just looked at the ceiling.
Gerard’s Point of View
I watched Bree walk up to her room shortly after we arrived home. She locked herself up in her room and I could faintly hear her music playing. I wanted to go in there so badly to comfort her, but since she locked her door, I guess she just wanted to be alone. I walked down to my room and began unpacking the few things I brought. Knowing that Bree was depressed and locked in her room made me feel useless. I wanted to be there for her, comfort her, hold her, do whatever I can to ease the pain. ‘She’ll be fine in a few days,’ I thought and hoped. The phone rang, it was Frankie, ‘hey.’ ‘Hey.’ ‘How’s she doing,’ he asked. ‘She’s in her room, she locked herself in there. I guess she wants to be alone for a while,’ I told him. ‘I was waiting for that to happen, no offense man, but I think she needed some alone time for a bit to collect her thoughts and let everything soak in on her own,’ Frankie said. ‘Yeah, I guess your right,’ I sighed. ‘Don’t worry man, she loves you, she won’t be distant forever, once this dark cloud passes over she’ll be right back in your arms begging for you,’ Frankie said. I just laughed. ‘Ha! So you were hoping that was going to happen once her spirits lift,’ he said. ‘No, I wasn’t. She and I discussed it, we will when she is ready,’ I told him. ‘Oh man, usually that means not until marriage, have fun waiting,’ Frankie said. ‘If that’s how long it will be, then so be it, I’ll wait,’ I said, shrugging my shoulders even though I knew he couldn’t see me. ‘Man, you really do love her don’t you,’ Frankie pointed out. ‘Yeah, I do, she’s the best thing that has happened to me Frankie, I could never let her go, I feel like I’ve known her forever,’ I explained. ‘Yeah, I know what you mean, that’s how it was with Ivy,’ Frankie said. ‘Frankie, you have known Ivy forever,’ I pointed out. ‘Well yeah, but still, we love each other and I’d do anything for her,’ he said. ‘Yeah I know, same with Bree,’ I said. ‘Oh god, we sound like chicks man,’ Frankie laughed. ‘Holy shit we do, okay enough with the emotional talk, I’ll see ya at school tomorrow, mom is calling for me to help get dinner ready, I’ll talk to ya then man,’ I said, ending out conversation. ‘Yeah see ya then, tell Bree I say hi, and your mom too,’ he said. ‘Will do, later man,’ and then we hung up. I went downstairs to help make dinner with mom.
Your Point of View
You heard Gerard walk downstairs after he heard Donna calling him. Your stomach growled, food, you needed to eat. You waited about 15 minutes until you walked over to the door and went downstairs. When you got there Donna wasn’t in the kitchen anymore but you found Gerard, in an apron. You laughed, ‘hello Betty Crocker,’ you leaned against the door frame. Gerard turned around with a bright red face, ‘so what are you making?’ ‘Umm I donno my mom just told me to watch it, whatever it is,’ he said and looking over at the stove. You walked over to it and couldn’t figure out what it was either. You just looked at each other and shrugged. Donna came back in with the phone to her ear and walking over to the stove, she shooed you both away. Gerard held his hands up and you both walked out into the family room and sat down on the couch. ‘So, we have to go back to school tomorrow,’ you said. ‘Yeah I know, oh shit,’ he said. ‘What?’ ‘Well, remember that day you came and took that tour of the school,’ he said. ‘Yeah.’ ‘Remember what Principle Treasurer said, that our punishment would be taken care of once school starts?’ ‘Oh yeah, I forgot all about that,’ you said. ‘Yeah, I have to go and see him tomorrow, damn,’ he pointed out. ‘Good luck with that, what’s the worst that will happen, detention?’ He shrugged, ‘yeah probably just detention, that isn’t so bad really.’ ‘Alright you two, dinner,’ Donna said from the kitchen. Mikey ran up from the basement and right to the table with a plate full of food by the time you both got to the kitchen. You both took whatever it was Donna made and sat down at the table next to each other. ‘Dad is gonna be home late tonight,’ Donna said as she put the phone back. After 20 minutes you were all done eating, it was actually pretty good, even though none of you dared to ask what exactly it was. You and Gerard settled in his bedroom for a little while. Most of the time you listened to music or just talked about random things. Eventually you both ended up just laying down next to each other on his bed. ‘You know if your parents find me in here, they are gonna start suspecting something,’ you said lacing your fingers with his. ‘Yeah, I know, but I don’t want you to leave just yet,’ he said and gave you a cute innocent smile. ‘But we’ve got school tomorrow, and desperately need sleep, I’m sorry babe but I’m gonna have to leave you here,’ you said and gave him a kiss on the forehead. Just as you got up he pulled you back down and pulled you into a deep kiss, you broke away. ‘I have to go babe,’ you whispered and then walked back to your room. You changed into your pj’s and went to bed, dreading school tomorrow morning.
