Aww Pickles, My Neighbor is A Hottie

***Karie's POV***

***A Few Days Later***

I slammed the alarm clock and got up. Today was the day where Gerard would be coming back to my house. I would like to say he was coming home, but that's not the deal. He was only ten minutes away, but it felt like hours and hours away. I got up and went over to Bryan's room to make sure he was okay. He was leaning against the wall and crying. Or it looked like it. I felt my heart stop as I sprinted over to him. You know when people say seeing a puppy sad is depressing, well imagine seeing a little boy crying? Ya, painful. I slid next to him and patted his back.

"What's wrong?" My voice broke. He was clenching his hands. I bit my lip and touched them gently. He flinched, but opened them slowly. I gulped getting ready for what was coming next. What I saw was something I was not expecting. Blades.

"Why do you have these?" His hands started to shake and his voice was cracking with every word. I silently rubbed my legs as memories overtook my brain. It was the end of high school and I found out everyone hated me. I didn't think life was worth living at that point. I got hateful tweets. The things people said about me were unbelievable. It wasn't just people who I bullied, it was everyone.

"I don't use those," I went to reach for them, "anymore." He finally looked at me with pain overtaking his face. I bit my lip and took the blades from him.

"Follow me Bryan." I reached my hand out to his and he took it. I brought him into the bathroom and instantly dropped them in the toilet. I flushed them and watched them swirl down. Bryan did as well. He was holding me tightly.

"Are you okay Bry?" I got down on my knees. He nodded lightly.

"It's just my mom used to use those things when she was sad. She would bleed a lot. One night she was bleeding and than the next day she wouldn't wake up. You have to wake up every night. I can't loose another mommy." He fell into my shirt. My mouth dropped. What? I guess I was a mother figure, but I never expected this. I kissed the top of his head.

"I love you Bryan." I whispered.

"I love you too Karie." He raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Gerard!" I ran into his arms as soon as he entered the house. He grasped me tightly.

"Baby, I missed you." He kissed me.

"Ew! Cuties!" Bryan ran behind the couch and Gerard and I both laughed.

"Did you miss me brother." Gerard did some gang sign which Bryan answered by doing the same thing.

"I missed beating you all the time." Bryan laughed. Gerard snorted.

"I practiced so don't think I will loose anymore." Gerard pointed at Bryan. Bryan crossed his arms.

"Well I practiced too! You're going to loose and loose badly." Bryan stuck his tongue out. Gerard did the same and jumped over the couch.

Everything was normal again.
