Save Me From My Self Destruction
You're Gonna Pay
***Gerard's POV***
I woke up to the sound of loud sobs. I turned around, and saw Chrissi tossing and turning while letting out painful sobs. Her whole face was pure white, and covered in sweat and tears. She was having a nightmare.Lately, this has been happening a lot. It's starting to concern me, and I can see it's starting to take a tole on her. It's gotten to the point where she's even afraid to go to bed, and I have to sing her to sleep. I lifted myself off the bed, and held her shaking body in my arms. I tried shaking her a bit. She didn't wake up. I shook her a little harder. Nothing. The sobs only got louder and louder. Each sob sounding like she was getting stabbed in the heart. I decided against calling for Mikey and Alicia, though it seems like the best option. My grip around her waist tightened as the sobs turned into screams. What ever nightmare she was having, I needed to end it now. I shook her one more time before Alicia came knocking on the door.
"Gerard? Is everything okay in there?" she didn't give me time to answer before she came rushing in.
"Nightmare?" she asked. I nodded my head. She cupped Chrissi's cheeks in her hands.
"I'm sorry Chris." she said before slapping her hard across the face. I cringed at the sight, but I knew it was for the best. Chrissi's eyes flew open. Her eyes widened as she saw my face. She raised her arms and grabbed my cheeks, sqeezing them, and smiling. She then gripped my shirt, and pulled me into a long embrace. She let out quiet sobs, and I waited for her to calm down, so she could tell me what happened in her dream.
***Chrissi's POV***
I was more than releaved when I saw Gee's face. It was only a dream. My life with Gee was real. I let out quiet sobs as he held me close in his arms. He gently rubbed my back, and whispered soothing things in my ears.
"You ready to tell me what your dream was about, sugar?" I nodded and told him everything. He rocked me back and forth as I told him.
"I promise you, your life with me is 100% real. And there is nothing that can take you away from me."
"But Gee, it was so realistic!" I cried.
"Shh, but it was a dream. There's no need for you to doubt that for even a second." I sighed and snuggled into Gee's chest.
"What's on your mind, baby? Why are you having nightmares every night? Is something bothering you?"
"I-I dunno. But it's scaring me, Gee. I-Is something wrong with me?"
"No, no baby! Nothing's wrong with you. I just think your mind is clogged up with things that might be stressing you out. Tell me, baby. What's on your mind. I'll sit here and listen all night if I have to." I leaned into his chest a bit more, and his grip around my waist tightened.
"Well, ever since I saw David at the bar, I've been having dreams involving him. But this last dream was the worst. It was the most realistic. Ever since I saw him, I've been afraid that somehow someday, he'll find me. And he'll just take me away from you. That night, he said if I didn't get in the car with him, he'll kill you, Gee! I've been scared shitless ever since." I let a tear fall down my cheek, and Gee wiped it with his thumb.
"Chrissi, that happened four months ago, and he's in jail. There's nothing for you to worry about. But most of all, you have me. You'll have me til the end. I will always be here, and I will always protect you, from anyone, or anything. I don't want you to allow this bastard to ruin your life anymore. You're stronger than that. There's no way in hell that piece of shit could ever kill me. But, sugar, no matter how realistic your dream may be, I want you to always remember that your life with me is real. It always will be. No worries, okay?" he kissed my forehead, and I put my head on his lap.
"Aren't you gonna go back to bed?" I looked up at him
"I'm gonna stay up for a bit. Until you're fully asleep." I tried to protest, but there was no use. I closed my eyes, and drifted off.
****A few days later****
***Gerard'sPOV***
I was completely exhausted. I've stayed up every night until 6am, making sure Chris was okay. Every night, I just stay up, and watch her. I've been missing a lot of band practices due to my lack of sleep, and I can tell the band isn't exactly happy with me. But family comes first. That's always been the number one rule.
There's just been something bugging me. Chris was fine until we came home from tour. Either I just haven't noticed these dreams for four months, or there's something she isn't telling me. I decided to call Jess. She might know.
"Hey, Gerpickle. What's up?" she said through the phone. Her nickname for me made me laugh. Only Jess would come up with something like that.
"Nothing. I wanted to talk to you. Do you know if something's going on with Chris? She's been having a series of bad dreams lately and I have no idea what's up."
"Well, I do know that her dad called her from jail." there was an uncomfortable silence.
"Wha-what did he say?" I clenched my fists
"It was a threat. He was saying shit like, 'when he get's out of jail, he's gonna find her, and finish what he started'. Some crazy shit. All I know is that he really fucked her up. Ever since she got that call, she's just been really unsteady. I personally think she should talk to someone." I took a deep breath.
"When did this happen?"
"When we came back home from visiting you guys, so like two months ago."
"I'm gonna kill that bastard."
"Gerpickle, don't do anything stupid."
"I'm going to fucking kill him." with that, I hung up.
This bastard's gonna pay.
