Aww Pickles, My Neighbor is A Hottie

***Karie's POV***

I stormed back to our house as soon as Bryan told me what Gerard was doing. He was bringing slutty girls home and holding their hands and kissing their cheeks. I got angered at the thought of anyone holding Gerard's hand. No one is allowed to hold his hand. No one except me. Wait. Wait. Wait. Why do I care? I shook my head and thought about what happened with Peter. Peter and I hung out so why couldn't Gerard and some girl hang out. Was she pretty? Oh, I bet she was an ugly troll thing.

"Was she pretty?" I asked Bryan as he sat on the couch. He nodded.

"But, not as pretty as you." He poked my side. I blushed. Being complimented by a six year old was better then being complimented by anyone in the whole entire world. I promise you that. He hugged my side. I hugged him back. We decided to turn on the TV. Nothing good was on so we went on netflix.

"Anything you want to watch bud?" I knuckled his head. He adjusted his hair.

"Let's watch that." He pointed at the TV. I rolled my eyes.

"Be specific." I laughed. He stuck out his tongue at me and picked a show called 'Doctor Who.' It was a huge hit on Facebook so I didn't fight it. I guess you could say I was interested. Bryan didn't start the show yet. He ran into the kitchen and grabbed the phone. I tried my best not to listen to the conversation. I hated doing that to him because the first time I did, he was talking to his 'mom.' It was heart breaking to hear what he said. I decided to go into the bathroom so I wouldn't eavesdrop. I sat on the bathroom floor and leaned against the door. I decided to wash off my makeup and put on something more comfortable. I grabbed some makeup removers wipes and washed my face. I ran into my room, stripped, and threw on some fuzzy footy pajamas.

"You ready slow-butt!" Bryan screamed up the stairs.

"One second!" I screamed back. I adjusted my clothes and ran downstairs. I jumped over the couch and landed on it. Bam. I am totally a ninja.

"Hello there." I screamed at the voice. He laughed at me. I growled and turned to see Gerard sitting there in fuzzy socks, pajama pants, and a black tee.

"And what are you doing here?" I asked him crossing my arms. He mimicked me and crossed his arms.

"Bryan invited me." He tried to mimic my voice. I laughed at his fail.

"Fine." I didn't want to hurt Bryan. He ran in and sat on the love seat alone. He didn't seem to care though. He snuggled in the corner and threw the blanket over himself. We turned down the lights and started the show.

Two episodes in Gerard had his arm over my shoulder and my head was on his shoulder. Bryan was asleep. It was cute to see him lightly snoring. Gerard pulled me closer to him and wouldn't let me move. I didn't mind though because I was comfortable in his arms and he seemed comfortable too. I decided to move my head from his shoulder to his lap. I moved down and leaned into his stomach. He rubbed my stomach as I felt myself drifting off.

"You're not sleeping yet." He picked me up and stood up as well. I didn't scream though because I didn't want to wake Bryan.

"Can we go upstairs?" Gerard whispered in my ear. I nodded and grabbed Bryan. Since we were going upstairs, I brought Bryan with me. I tucked him into bed and led Gerard into my room. I jumped on my bed and laid there for a few minutes praying for Gerard to come on. Thank god he did. He crawled on next to me and wrapped his arm around my waist. I snuggled into his chest and he kissed my head. I wished we could spend every night like this. I had never felt so safe in my life.

"Why won't you admit that you like me Karie?" Gerard broke the silence. I didn't like him like that.

"Because I like you as a friend. That's it. I'm sorry Gerard, but I can't like you." I whispered.

"Why not?" He kissed my head again. I wanted to pull away, but I couldn't.

"Because, I'm scared. I'm scared I'll fall for you and for revenge you will leave me." I whispered. He pulled me up a bit so i wasn't in his chest anymore. He leaned in to kiss me. I swear if he was going to pull away, I would never ever kiss him. I closed my eyes and leaned in as well.

We kissed.
