Ariel

I haven't gone home in 3 days. I also haven't gone to school in that amount of time either. Mrs Way hasn't seemed to noticed. I woke up this morning to find Gerard wasn't there. He was probably just getting coffee or something. 'Rise Above' by Black Flag filled the room as my phone rang. I answered it without even checking to see who was calling. "Hello?" I ran a hand through my greasy hair, it really needed washing today. "Ari? Are you coming into school today?" It was Frank. "Uhh... I dunno. Probably not." I heard him sigh in discontent on the other end of the phone. "Please Ari, I miss you. I went to your house yesterday, you weren't in." Frank continued. "Yeah I've been staying with Gerard since the night everyone was round." I explained. "You're not with him, are you?" Frank seemed dissapointed for some reason. "No." It wasn't a complete lie, sure we'd had sex a couple of times and done other stuff too, but we weren't anything official at the moment. Gerard was great because we got drunk together all the time, he made me forget that I was a complete fuck up. He walked into the room with just a towel round his waist and his hair wet and pushed back. "Who're you talking to babe?" he asked. "Is that Gee?" Frank asked. "Yeah, you wanna talk to him?" I asked. "Nope, just both of you come in today.. please. I miss you." I sighed. "Maybe. I'll talk to Gee. See you later Frankie." I could practically hear him grinning. "You better come in, see you later." With that, he hung up. Gerard came and sat infront of me on the bed, running his finger along my jawline. "Frank wanted to know if we were coming in today." I told Gee. "I think we should, we have art today so I don't see why not." I nodded. "I'm going to take a shower. I might have to go home and get some clothes before we go to school though." Gerard shook his head. "I sent my dear brother to your house to pick up some of your clothes." I kissed Gee lightly on the lips. "I'll thank him later." I got up off the bed and went into the bathroom.
After my shower, I wrapped a towel around myself and walked back into Gerards room to see him lying on the bed wearing the tightest jeans I've ever seen and no shirt. I sat straddling him and we made out for a while before I finally spoke up. "Where are my clothes babe?" I asked. "In the kitchen, want me to get them?" I shook my head. "I'll get them. You finished getting dressed." I left Gerards room and went downstairs towards the kitchen, bumping into Mikey on the way. "Whoa, put some clothes on dude." I giggled. "I'm going to get them, thanks for picking them up by the way." I noticed Mikey was extremely attractive, much like his older brother. "You're welcome." I walked past Mikey and into the kitchen to pick up my clothes. I had several pairs of skinny jeans, shorts, tights and lots of shirts. I carried the pile back up to Gerards room. From the pile I picked out my faded Guns n Roses tee, some black ripped shorts and my black suspender tights. I didn't bother leaving the room to get changed, it wasn't as if Gerard hadn't seen me naked before. I left my bright hair down and left it to dry naturally. I put on my red doc martens and Gerard, Mikey and I left for school.

Frank

Ariel and Gerard finally came back to school. I was glad because I missed them. I heard that one of our teachers, Mr Brown, had recently lost his wife to an illness I couldn't remember the name of. I felt really bad for him because lots of the kids were gossiping about it. I know if I lost someone close to me I wouldn't want to hear about it all the time. I think I understand because I really like Ariel. But she obviously likes Gerard. Are they even together? There's obviously something going on if she stayed at his house. I decieded I wouldn't think about it too much because it wasn't my business. At dinner, Ariel and Gerard sat next to each other and were talking and joking. They didn't look like a typical in-love couple though, which I was happy about. "What are you guys doing tonight? Wanna come over?" I offered. Gerard dropped his conversation with Ariel for a moment to reply. "Me and Ariel are uh.. busy tonight." I let a disappointed sigh escape my lips and turned to Mikey, waiting for his answer. "I'll come over."


Later that night, Mikey and I were on my bed watching horror films and chatting casually. "I have an opticians opointment tomorrow." I said. "Oh. You need glasses?" I shook my head. "I doubt it, it's just a check up." We continued to talk about anything, current events mainly. Around half an hour after the opticians conversation, I heard a knock on the door. Followed by the sound of my mothers footsteps in the hall and the door opening, followed by the muffled sound of my mothers voice. I didn't manage to deduct who was at the door, though. I heard the door shut and presumed whoever it was had left for a moment until my mother called up to me. "Frank! There's someone here to see you." To see me? "Send them up." To my surprise, the person who walked through the door of my bedroom was Ariel. "Hey guys." she smiled that beautiful smile I loved so much. "H-Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you had plans with Gerard?" I sprung up and ran to her, grabbing her wrist and pulling her onto the bed with Mikey and myself. "He's sick and I got bored. We didn't really have plans though.. well, nothing important." I grinned. I was so happy that she'd ditched Gerard. Aren't girlfriends supposed to look after their boyfriends if they're sick? Maybe they weren't together after all. "Is Gee okay?" Mikey asked. Ariel nodded. "Yeah, he'll be okay in the morning he just needs to rest."

We watched a couple more films until Ariel said she better get back to Gerard. I'd asked if she and Mikey wanted to stay over but of course, Gerard comes first. And the worst part was, Gerard and Mikeys parents were away, meaning they'd be alone .

Ariel

I walked back to the Way's house, stopping off at home first to collect some more things. My mum said she missed me and wanted to see me again, so I told her I'd come round and see her tomorrow. I walked through the living room and into the kitchen to find Gerard sitting at the table drinking coffee. "You look better." I took a seat on the chair opposite his. "I went to sleep for a few hours and I felt fine when I woke up." He explained. "Well good. You know..." I looed at him over the rim of my mug as I spoke. "Mikey's staying at Frank's tonight." Gerards eyes lit up and a smirk formed on his face as he realized what I was hinting at. "I wanted to talk to you about that actually." I raised an eyebrow. "All this sex is great, but it's kinda meaningless." I stayed silent and let him continue. "I think.. It'd be ten times better if you were my girlfriend." Did he just ask me to be his girlfriend? I think he did. "Well.. I think I'm going to have to agree with your theory." I smirked. "Is that a yes then?" I nodded. The next thing I knew his lips were on mine and he was carrying me upstairs. This would be the first time we'd have sex when we weren't completely wasted.
