To The End

I woke up a few minutes later with someone poking my stomach. I jerk up and panicked.

“Whoa! I didn’t mean to freak you out! Sorry there kiddo,” I hear Gerard say. I yawn and rub my eyes. I squint to adjust to the light. He was standing there grinning at me. Holding a plate of food.

“If you wanna eat later, I understand, you look tired,” he says to me. “No, I’ll eat now, I’m Starving!” I say quickly. He laughs and hands me the food. “If you need anything scream out someone’s name, it helps, trust me, we are deaf in many ways,” he says. I giggle and dig into the most delicious fried chicken I have ever tasted, better yet the mashed potatoes and the warm gravy poured onto it. Also the added spices to the potatoes along with corn. And how the juiciness of it all made me moan. I close my eyes and chew. Gerard looks at me funny and laughs. “You are seriously a weird kid,” he says shaking his head. He starts to walk away. “WAIT!” I shout with a mouthful of fried chicken crispiness. He turns around and looks up at me. I quickly swallow and smile at him. “Thank you,” I say. He smiles and nods, then turns his back. God he has such a nice body. Frank stop it! I mentally slap myself. He walks out of the room chuckling to himself.

I finish my plate of food and got off the bed to go put it in the sink. They already did enough for me by letting me come into their home, better yet Gerard letting me sleep in his bed. I smile to myself. I’m sleeping in his bed. Who knows what he does on it? I felt my cheeks flame up. Fuck Frank! Calm down! He doesn’t even think of you like that! Or does he? I mentally slap myself harder. I come closer to the big room and hear voices. I start to tiptoe to hear what they are talking about.

“I know I know! But does he have what it takes to be a killjoy?” I hear Ray ask.

“Maybe we could train him!” Mikey says cheerfully.

“Yeah that could work,” Bob says.

“Guys Guys! He’s new to all this. We got to take it slow. He hasn’t been around civilization or people in like fucking years, so take it slow and easy with him.” Gerard says.

Aw he’s so sweet by worrying about how I will handle things. I’m already used to people now. Its been so long and I forgot how fun it is to be around people. I finally realized I’ve been standing here listening to what they were saying. So I built up the courage to walk out. I trudge my way on into the big room. They all look up and smile at me. I swear I love these guys. I smile back at them.

“Uh… where do I put this?” I ask holding up the plate.

“OH! Lemme get that!” Bob says standing up and grabbing the plate for me.

“Still tired?” Gerard asks me.

I shake my head no and rub my tummy. They all laugh and invite me into their circle. A smile pasted my face and gladly walked to them plopping my ass right next to Gerard. He just looks at me and smiles before turning back to his friends.

“So..? What do we do now?” he asks leaning back into the couch. I just wait and listen for someone to answer.

“Twister?” Mikey says, I chuckle and wait for more answers.

“That sounds fun!” Bob pipes in.

“Totally,” Ray says casually.

“Whatevs,” Gerard says.

They all look at me for an answer and I start to feel nervous.

“why not?” I finally say.

They all stood up and jumped and cheered. I just laugh at how dorky they are. I love it! Mikey ran to go get the game while the other guys were moving the tables around the couches to use the empty space that the table occupied. I just sat there and watched. I felt bad for not helping but I didn’t know what to do. So I just hung low with Gerard. He smiles at me and shakes his head.

“They’re weird, I know, which is why you fit in perfectly with us,” he says with a huge grin, I blush and look away. He suddenly sits up and looks down on me. I look up at him and motions me to go with him with his head. I stand up following him to where the guys amazingly quick put together the game. I noticed all had there shoes off and were ready to play.

“Rules!” Mikey shouts. I just wait for him to keep talking.

“NO! GROPING!” he shouts and we all laugh. “Seriously!” he’s being completely serious and we all still laugh at him. He pouts and I found it quite cute.

“Rule #2 No spitting on each other,” we all laugh again. “Oh come on Mikes, you know you loved my taste on you,” Ray says in a seducing way. We all holler with laughter and Mikey became furious, but not to mad.

“Rule #3 I swear to god if anyone pulls my pants down I will beat you with my Hello Kitty backpack!” we all laugh at him.

“Mikey Mikey Mikey,” Gerard says shaking his head. “Last Rule, Since Frank’s the a new recruiter we all shall give him our lesson,” he says rubbing his hands and grinning at me. “Our little fun,” he adds. They all look at me with intimidating smiles. I gulp and stood there awkwardly. They just laugh at me.
“Don’t worry, I’ll never let them hurt you,” Gerard whispers in my ear. I shiver at the touch of his hot breath and felt his words quite comforting. He smiles at me and we start the game.

“MIKEY REALLY!” Ray shouts as Mikey just “so happened” to grab his nipple. We all bellow with laughter. Mikey is right under Ray and Bob is off to the side of Mikey and I’m right under Gerard who is dangerously hovering so close to me. I can literally feel him breathing on my face. I felt so nervous being so close to him like that. He just smiles and waits for Bob to spin the stupid wheel.

“Right Leg Green!” he shouts. We all groan as we tried to move right foot. Ray lost the footing and dropped all of us. Making Gerard land right on top of me. I let out an oomph when he did. We all started laughing our asses off and Ray is shouting at Mikey for making him drop us. We just laid on top of each other cracking stupid jokes. This is the most fun I ever fucking had and I love every single second of it. After we all calm down, I realize Gerard was laying his head on my chest trying to control his giggles. I tried to not become nervous and just ignored the fact Gerard was on top of me. Just as this moment couldn’t be any more perfect. Bob let one rip.

“REALLY!?” Gerard shouts. We all scream and jump off the mat trying to get away from Bob. He’s just lying there crying his fucking eyes out. “YOU SHOULDVE SEEN YOUR FACES!!” he exclaims while laughing. We start laughing and realize how bad it smelt.

“EGGFART!” I scream and we all bolted toward our rooms. Bob is dying of laughter and still laid there on the mat.

“ HAVE A WONDERFULLY SCENTED NIGHT!” he screams at us. I laugh and ran straight to Gerard’s room with him following me.

“Oh yeah! Shoot I’m sorry I forgot,” he finally says before he realized he gave his room to me. I blush and look at him laughing. “its okay, its your room, I’ll go die on the couch,” I reply. He laughs and shakes his head. “No! you sleep in here,” he pushes me into his room and closes the door behind us. My heart began to beat rapidly. What is he doing?

“I’ll sleep on the floor,” he says. I felt really bad.

“Are you sure?” I ask. He nods and usher me onto his bed and grabs himself a blanket and pillow. I gave a small smile and he returns it to me. He turns out the lights and sprawled himself out on the floor while I got myself comfortable in his bed. I was only on one side and there’s a whole other part of the bed that I cant fill up.
“Night Frank,” he says to me. Not in a million years have I ever gone to bed with someone telling me night. I smile, “Night Gerard,” and with a flash I fell asleep within minutes.

I woke up with someone pulling me out of the bed. I jerk and wonder what the fuck is going on.

“Come on Frank! Hurry, ssshhh!” Gerard says to me. I’m having a panic attack still from the sudden awakening. I was about to speak when he clamped his hand over my mouth. I sat there in shock as he held me close. He was breathing heavily and fast. His face was contorted into fear and his grip on me tightened. I whimpered, but he didn’t seem to notice. That’s when I heard voices. Loud voices.

“Let me go!! Let us go!! Stop It!!!” I hear and it sounded like Mikey. “You Stupid Fucks!!! Get off of me!!” the voices kept yelling and getting louder.

“We order you to stop fighting us!” someone else shouted. I didn’t recognize the voice at all. I got a feeling and it wasn’t a very good feeling. “Please Stop! Let us Go!” Mikey pleaded. I started to cry because I hate hearing Mikey like that and I had no idea what was going on.

“ssshhh,” Gerard shushed me and wiped my tears away. “We have to go,” he whispers. He lets go of me and goes to his drawers and grabs a bag and shoves a few clothes and weapons in it.

“G-G-Gerard what’s going on? Why is Mikey shouting? Are they others going to be okay?” I kept throwing questions at him. He finished packing up and gave my shoes to me. “Put these on,” he told me. I looked at him waiting for him to answer. “I’ll explain later, please hurry please,” he begs. I obey and slip my shoes on. He handed me my Misfits sweater and opened a window. “Gerard what is happening?” I ask again. He sighed and looked down. “BL/ind found us,” he says. My eyes grew wide and I started to panic again. “They found out we had…we had…you,” he says more quietly. I started to hyperventilate a little. He throws the bag out the window. “sssshhh! I’m here I’ll protect you it’ll be okay,” he assures me. I start crying. “Don’t cry please! Oh god don’t cry! We have to go!” he grabs me and carries me.
“No! what about Mikey, Ray and Bob,” I ask.

“They’ll be okay,” he says. I start crying again. Again he had to calm me down. He then grabbed a chair and placed it under the window so we can crawl out of it. He went through the window first and so I follow. I hear footsteps right outside the door. Then I hear pounding and the doorknob was jiggling, like someone was trying to break in. “I ORDER YOU TO OPEN THIS DOOR!” someone shouted. I panicked,

“Frank hurry!” Gerard pleads to me. I crawl out through the window and the door was busted open. I fell into Gerard’s arms and he puts me down. He grabbed the bag and my hand and took me away from there to hide behind a large pile of garbage. We peek over and I see Mikey, Ray, and Bob being put into a van, a prison van. I got choked up and started to cry again. Gerard grabbed me and rubbed my back.

“They’ll be okay, They’ll be okay,” he assures to me. I feel like that’s not the truth though. “I wanna go home,” I finally say. “I’m sorry,” he says.

We sat there for a while waiting for them to clear a little, so we can sneak past them. They took the guys away and the pack of minons started to descend. There were only a few left, so we took advantage and snuck around them. Gerard showed me a pathway to follow so they wont catch us. I follow it and it led to a clearing. He then threw the bag down and told me to take off my clothes. My face flamed up, thank god it was dark out. “We need to change in different clothes, especially you,” he states. I nod and began to strip as well as he. He took off his shirt and I gulped. Oh my god. I stared at his body for a few seconds and broke my gaze away, so he wouldn’t think I was a creeper. I took off my own shirt, showing off my bare chest. He quickly looked up at me and I could’ve sworn he smirked. I blushed again, but ignored it. He handed me a black shirt and faded black skinny jeans to wear. They were ripped at the knees. I put them on and he also gave me a green jacket that had yellow stripes at the end of the sleeves. He then put on his own gear of clothing. He then brought out two guns. He looked at me.

“Do you know how to handle one?” he asks me. I nod and smiled. He trusted me that much?

“here you go,” I was about to grab it when he pulled away, “If you do anything stupid,” he starts.

“I know I know, I don’t like the wrath of Gerard,” I say. He laughs and hands me a green gun. I smile and take it and inspecting it. “it goes in that pocket right there,” he points at this pouch on my pants and I slid the gun in. I smiled and seen how badass I look. He slid his own gun in his pants pouch thingy. He then handed me a pair of gloves. I took them and slid them on. I loved these. He then put a pair of his own.

“You are now a killjoy in training,” he says to me.
