Aww Pickles, My Neighbor is A Hottie

***A Few Days Later***

I laid on the side of the street like I had been for the last few nights. I couldn't go anywhere. It felt like someone chained me up to the back wall. I was scared and annoyed. Gerard was ruining my life. Everywhere I went he was there. Or I thought he was. I couldn't tell if anything was real anymore. I started to sob. What could one person do to you? I wondered if this is how Gerard felt when I bullied him. He was such a shy and messed up teenager, but now he was amazing. He was famous and probably rich in some aspects. He had a band and a comic series going.

"Did you hear there new album?" I turned to see two kids hanging at the end of the street.

"Of course stupid. I'm there biggest fan!" The other kid waved his hands in the air. The kids were blasting some music. I tried to listen to it, but I couldn't understand it that well. It went something like,

"Hand in mine, into your icy blues
And then I'd say to you we could take the highway
With this truck of ammunition too
I'd end my days with you in a hail of bullets"

It was amazing. Who could think of those lyrics. I wanted to ask so badly, but I'd probably creep them the fuck out.

"Who is your favorite member?"

"Well Mikey is so hot, so Mikey." The girl grinned at her friend.

"Ew." The other one rolled his eyes.

"Who's your favorite?" She crossed her arms.

"Well obviously Gerard. He has one hell of a voice. I want to sing like him one day." The boy stuck his fist in the air and looked up. Of fucking course. It's Gerard's goddamn band. Fuck this! Why did he have to be perfect now? Why couldn't he be perfect back then. Or why couldn't I see the future and know that he was going to be this hot amazing singing rich guy. I needed to go say I'm sorry to him and now. I got up and walked towards his house. They lyrics of the song they played ran through my head. The lyrics were amazing, but what did they mean? Gerard was a thoughtful guy. I tried to get all my thoughts out of my head. How long had it been since my made the scene? Would my mom hate me? Would Mrs. Way hate me? Would Gerard hate me? I tried to get all these thoughts out of my head, but that didn't work. I decided to answer the questions to help me get them out of my head.

It had been three and a half days.
My mom was going to fucking kill me.
Mrs. Way would probably fire me and never talk to me again.
Gerard. I didn't know what he would do. I tried to think of all the possibilities. He could either hate me completely or forgive me. Ha. He wouldn't forgive me. Even if I begged him, he would never. I made his high school experience awful. I would be lucky if he actually talked to me after what happened.

"What are you doing?" Someone tugged on my pants. I looked down to see a little boy tugging on me. I smiled at him and kept walking. Maybe if I ignored him, he would leave me alone. The little boy didn't budge, but I tried to ignore it. His mom would come get him sooner or later.

"Lady?" He tugged harder. I looked down again. I studied it more. He was wearing ragged clothes and his hair looked like it hadn't been brushed in weeks. This boy was homeless. I felt bad now. I bent down.

"Yes?" I said in a calming voice.

"Are you okay?" He asked me. I nodded.

"Where is your mommy?" I was going to regret this question.

"She is up there." He pointed to sky. I let a tear stroll down my face.

"And daddy?" I asked.

"Down there." He scowled at the ground. I bit my lip.

"Why is he down there?" I asked.

"Because he hurt mommy and me. He didn't let us live with God. He took God away from us because he was jealous. That's what mommy said." He smiled at me. He was missing three teeth. I could not sit here and let this boy rot.

"Do you have a home?"

"Daddy burned it to the ground" He sighed. Damn I have to stop asking question.

"Would you like to come with me? I have an extra room and food." I offered.

"Like pudding? That was mommy's favorite." He grinned at the sky. I let another tear escape my eye. I grabbed the boy's hand and led him to my house. I saw it come into view.

"That's it." I pointed forward. The boy started to jump up and down again. We walked in. I led him into my room. He deserved it more then me. He jumped on the bed and hugged a pillow.

"I'll be right back." I ran downstairs and grabbed some pudding. I went back upstairs and gave him the pudding. He ripped off the top and ate it like a pig. I smiled at him.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Bryan." He shuffled around the bed.

"Mine is Karie." I told him. He got up and went to my desk. He looked around.

"Who are they?" He pointed to the picture of Cece, Ashley, and I at prom. I looked away and closed my eyes so I wouldn't cry.

"My old friends. They went off to college."

"Mommy wants me to go to college." He sat down.

"It's a good place to go." I said as I fixed my things and grabbed some clothes for the boy.

"What's this?" He pointed to my Ipod and pressed the music button. 'Rhythm of Love' by Plain White Tees blasted. He started to dance. I giggled at him. I started to dance too. Why not have some fun?

"My head is stuck in the clouds!" I sang over the music. The boy giggled and jumped on the bed again. I guess I would too if I had been sleeping on the ground for a very long time. I finished collecting some clothes that would be way to big for him, but it was the best I could too. I sent him to the shower and showed him how to use it. When I was done I decided it was time.

I had to face Gerard now.

Notes

A/N- This chapter was kinda boring. I'm trying to show that Karie is not a COMPLETE asshole. She can be nice too.
