Should I thank you for the Venom? (Redo)
It's just a Dream
Lulu’s pov.
I woke with a start. All I remembered was falling asleep next to Bob. I got to share with him, Mikey shared a bed with Ray, and Gerard shared with Frank. I was vaguely aware of a hand on my arm. I turned to look into Bob’s eyes. They were filled with concern and fear.
“Lulu, you had a nightmare. Are you okay?” I don’t know, was I okay? Who was I kidding, of course I wasn’t! I was shaking and I could feel the tears streaming down my face.
“No, I’m not okay, I promise.”
“Oh, sweetheart, what was it about?” Bob pulled me towards his chest and kissed my head.
I wrapped my arms around his middle. “Well, it started with me hanging out with you and the guys. It was nice. We were laughing and singing and generally acting crazy. I was happy, but Death came and threatened to take away all of you so I would be sad. I’m not afraid of death so I let Death take me instead. The thing that got me all upset was that you guys still laughed and had fun even though I was dead. It was like you didn’t even notice I was gone.” I took a deep breath and looked up at Bob’s face. “Would it matter to you if I died?”
“Oh my gosh, Lulu. Of course it would matter. I don’t know if I could carry on if you weren’t here by my side.” Bob placed a soft, gentle kiss on my lips. I smiled into the kiss because I could tell he cared. Bob pulled back and wiped away my tears. “Do you feel like you want to die, Lulu?”
“No, I never have, and I hope I never will. I just sometimes feel like no one cares what happens to me.”
Bob smiled a sad looking smile. “I will always care about what happens to you. You have to promise me that you will tell me if you ever feel like you want to die. I need you and so do the guys.”
I rested my head on Bob’s shoulder. “I promise I will tell you. I need you guys too.”
“It’s almost 7 o’clock. Do you want to go get coffee or breakfast?”
“Sure, but should we wake the others?”
“No, I’ll leave a note so they can come join us.” Bob sat up, and we got ready to leave.
Gee’s pov.
I woke up to the beautiful angel face of my Frankie. I kissed his nose, and he squirmed in his sleep. I giggled because he just looked so cute with his hair messed up and his arms wrapped around himself. “Wake up, angel. It’s time to get up.”
Frank half opened his eyes. He gave me a lazy smile and pulled my hand up to his face to place a soft kiss on my palm. “You’re the best thing I could ever wake up to, but I really want to sleep longer.” Frank mumbled against my hand.
“I know babe, but I think Bob and Lulu are already up.” They’re bed was vacant and I could see a piece of paper laying on it.
Frank instantly woke up more and looked over at their bed. “Why didn’t they wake us up?”
“They might have gotten up early and wanted to let us sleep more.”
“Or they might have wanted some alone time, if you know what I mean.” Frank raised an eyebrow suggestively and smirked.
“Yeah, because Lulu is so that type of girl, right? I don’t think so, Frank.” I rolled my eyes at his suggestion. I totally knew that Bob would never do a thing like that to her anyways.
“Well then, we might as well wake up Ray and Mikey.” Frank and I glanced at my brother and his boyfriend snuggled in each other’s arms. “And I have the perfect idea on how!” A gleeful little smirk appeared on Frank’s lips as he turned to me. “Is your mom still home?”
I knew he had an evil little Frank plan, but I wasn’t about to stop him. “No, she’s not home. May I ask what you’re planning?”
“You may ask, but that doesn’t mean I’ll tell.” Frank slowly got off the bed and slipped into the band room. He came back out quickly with Pansy plugged into an amp. I covered my ears as Frank strummed his guitar unbelievably loud beside Ray and Mikey’s air mattress.
Mikey sat up quickly, but Ray practically jumped out of the bed and looked around anxiously. When he saw Frank holding Pansy he got really mad. “What the hell Frank?! Where you trying to break our eardrums or something?!” Ray’s face was going red and he was clearly starting to scare Frank, so I stepped between them.
“Ray, chill out. Frank was trying to be funny. You two didn’t seem like you were waking up anytime soon, and Lulu and Bob went out for breakfast almost three hours ago.” The note said they left at seven and it was almost ten.
“Oh shit! Why didn’t they wake us up?! Wait, why were they awake that early?” Mikey was up and half way out of the room. “Come on Ray. We need to get dressed and go. Gee, Frank, hurry up and get ready!” Mikey grabbed Ray’s hand and started pulling him up the stairs and out of my room.
Ten minutes later Mikey, Ray, Frank and I were walking down the sidewalk towards the coffee shop down the block from my house. I had texted Bob and he said that he and Lulu had gone for a walk and would be waiting for us when we were ready. I wanted to talk to Lulu about why they were up so early. When I asked Bob, all he told me was to ask Lulu. I know she has Bob, but I feel sort of responsible for Lulu, and I have this urge to make sure everything is okay with her. She helped me the first day she met me, so I want to help her too.
I walked into the coffee shop with Frank’s hand securely in mine and spotted Lulu and Bob at table towards the back. “Hey guys!” I greeted them as we sat down.
“Hey! Did you guys have a good rest?” Lulu joked as I took the seat next to her.
Mikey sat across from her and frowned. “Why didn’t you two wake us up? I feel bad that we made you wait so long.”
Lulu took one of Mikey’s hands into her own. “It’s okay Mikey! Neither of us could sleep well so we took a walk. It’s nothing to get upset about.” It was like they shared some weird understanding that only they could figure out because Mikey looked into Lulu’s eyes and nodded. It was kind of strange.
We hung out for about an hour before Ray and Bob said that they needed to go home. We walked them home, Lulu giving Bob a kiss at his door and Mikey giving Ray a kiss at his door. Since Frank didn’t have to do anything until that night, he joined Mikey, Lulu and me back to my house. On the way back Lulu gave Frankie another piggyback ride. “Thank you, pony Lulu!” Frankie yelled unnecessarily loud from his spot on Lulu’s back. Some Kids from our school were walking across the street and heard Frank. The second Frank noticed them he got off Lulu’s back.
“Freaks!” It was a group of jocks, and they were snickering. I tensed up and so did Frank and Mikey, but Lulu looked completely fine with them. She actually turned towards them and bowed. “Thank you. I try my hardest to achieve my goal of not becoming a carbon copied bitch.” She just laughed at the stunned look they gave her. They were not expecting Lulu to do that. Neither was I, but I laughed too. Soon Frank and Mikey were laughing too. Lulu just kept walking, and soon we were standing out in front of my house.
“How did you do that, Lulu?” Frank asked incredulously.
Lulu just leaned against the house beside the door. “You just can’t let people get the better of you. I’ve learned that it really doesn’t matter if I act or look differently from everyone else. Even if something they say does upset you, you can’t show it. Bullies prey on the fear of their victims. If you seem weak or show that every little thing they say gets to you, they’ll keep at it. If you’re indifferent to them, they’ll realize they aren’t bothering you and will leave you for someone else. I mean, I don’t mind getting called a freak. I consider myself a beautiful freak already!” Lulu laughed at her little speech. I don’t know how she does it. It’s like she’s bullet proof! I thought to myself as we walked into my house. Nothing gets to her. I’ll have to ask her about it later.
