Don't let go of Us
Chapter 1
I woke to the same bedroom. I looked over at the calendar and nearly started crying right then. Gerard was coming back today, and I knew that my mother would make me see him. Even if I was over the age of 18. I stood up and looked in the mirror. I was nothing special in my opinion. Gerard had let me to make a band awhile ago and I knew my mom would just be beaming once she saw him again. She always saw him as another son. He used to come over all the time with his brother Mikey. It all just kind happened so soon we never really got used to it.
I walked into the kitchen to see my mother nearly slaving away at the stove preparing. She was eager to impress him was she? "Mom. . . What are you doing?" I asked looking at her. "I have to make food for the boys once they get here !" She says stirring something on the stove. "Why are you so eager to impress them?" I ask. "Hon. They're celebrities now." She says looking back at me. "I'm not looking forward to it." I mumble looking down. "Why not?!" She asks turning to me. "Because . . . He left me." I say. "Jess. He wasn't yours." Mom says.
" I know that. . . I'm going to do to Griffin's for awhile. . ." I mumble going to get dressed. I get dressed quickly before heading out the door. Maybe I could stay long enough at Griffin's to avoid having to go and see Gerard. Maybe I could stop and say hi to Mikey. He never did anything to me. We were never as close as Gerard and I though. We just had one of those relationships we thought would never break. He was my best friend ! I walked over to Griffin's and knocked.
When I stepped in even Griffin couldn't distract me. Gerard was coming back in about 20 minutes. He had been texting my own mother to when he would be there. I sighed as Griffin asked me what he had been talking about. "Hello ? Jess ?! What's up?" Griffin asks. " I don't know. . . I guess I'm just scared." I say. "Scared of what?" He asks. "Scared that Gerard won't remember me." I say. "Of course he's going to remember his best friend! " Griffin says shoving my shoulder lightly. " I don't know Griffin. He's famous now and has met over a thousand people probably. There's no way he's going to remember me." I say. "sweet heart. He remembered your damn mom. He's sure as hell going to remember you." Griffin says crossing his arms.
"You think?" I ask. "Let's see for sure !" He says taking my hand. He starts to yank me out of the door and to my house. I crouch down and try and stopping him but he's a lot stronger then I am. I get dragged into my own house. Griffin moves and I freeze. Sitting at the kitchen table was Gerard.
