When the Lights Go Out, Will You Take Me With You?

****2 days later****

***Gerard's POV***

I haven't heard any word from Chris, let alone, anyone. These last two days have been rough. Although, it's given me a lot of time to work on music. Yesterday I finished a new song that I titled, "You know what they do to guys like us in prison." It's pretty much just a summary of my days in this hell hole.

"Mr. Way, you have a call." a guard told me. I practically leaped off my feet, and made my way to the phone.

"Hello?"

"Gerpickle, why are you so stupid? I told you not to do anything stupid, but that's exactly what you do!"

"Jessica, what the hell do you expect me to do? Just let my wife suffer? I'm sure you've noticed how traumatized she's been. I wanted to help her, okay?"

"Gerard, I get it, but Chrissi has been over my house bawling her eyes out non stop. She's scared for you. She thinks you're hurt, or you're gonna be in jail for a long fucking time. I know you tried to make things better, but you only made things worse. She's barley even gotten out of bed, and I can hardly get her to eat anything. " I rested my head on the wall

"She-she hasn't hurt herself, right?" I dreaded the answer

"No, Gerard. But I'm afraid she'll relapse soon. Which is why I'm bailing you out today. For her sake." I let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank you so much, Jessica. Will Chrissi be with you?"

"If I can get her out of bed.." I bit my lip, and sighed. If my wife goes back into depression, it's all my fucking fault.

"Please, try." she agreed, and hung up. I put my head in my hands, and let out a long sigh.

***Jessica's POV***

"Common, Chrissi. You haven't even moved, or eaten anything in the past three days! You're gonna make yourself sick. Now come with me to get your husband out of jail."

"What if he's hurt?! My dad's a fucking monster. I'm sure he fucked him up." she cried.

"Chrissi, honey. I just spoke to him twenty minutes ago! He sounded perfectly fine. Now we need to go before it get's too late."

"I can't believe Gee would go to jail over something so stupid like me."

"Chrissi, that's bullshit. Gerard loves you with everything he's got. He'd do anything for you. Now your husband wants to see you, and I think you really need to see him too." I was right, and she knew it. She gave me the death glare, and got herself out of bed. Fucking finally. I let her get dressed, and went into the living room to check on Daniel and Frankie.

"How are my two favorite boys doing?" I sat on Frankie's lap.

"We're doing just fine. You going to get our little convict out of jail?" I playfully hit his arm.

"Shh, don't let Chris hear you say that, or she'll start bawling." he sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"You better go soon, or else you'll have to wait til tomorrow." I sighed and got off his lap.

"Chrissi Anne Way get your ass out here. We gotta go retrieve your knight." she dragged her feet as she walked

"My stupid, idiot knight.." I sighed and dragged her to the car by her sleeve.

"He better be prepared to fucking hear it. If he thinks I'm gonna be all lovey then he's fucking wrong."

"Chris, don't be so hard on the guy! He did it for you. Don't forget that."

"But he doesn't have to be so stupid. He's getting himself hurt, and thrown in jail!"

"All for you.." I mumbled. She sighed and rested her head on the car seat."

"it'll be okay, Chris. I promise." I smiled

**** time lapse ****

***Chrissi's POV***

I slowly walked through the jail, trying to find a guard. My phone buzzed against my butt. It was Jess

-Chris, where are you? One minute you're with me. the next you're gone. I got Gerard, common let's get out of here.-

-I'll catch up with you guys in a bit. I'll meet you by the car.-

-Chris what the hell are you doing?-

-I'll tell you later- I shut my phone off. I didn't need any distractions

"Hello ma'am how may I help you?" It was the same guard that was checking me out the other night. Great.

"Uhm, I'm visiting David Jones."

"Alright, miss, follow me." he led me to his cell. I immediately got the chills. "You have fifteen minutes." he smiled

"If it isn't the weak shit crawling back." he grinned. I gulped.

"D-David I'm not crawling back. I'll never crawl back to a shit like you." I spat

"You better watch your tongue you little bitch." he clenched his fists. I felt my body tense up.

"I just came to tell you something." I paused. He didn't say anything so I continued. "I know you don't care, but I'm gonna make you hear it anyway. You ruined my life. I'm mentally fucked now, because of you. I want you to know that you fucking deserve to be in jail. You deserve all the shit you're gonna get. You know why? Cause you're an awful human being." He started gritting his teeth, so I backed away. "Why, David? Why do you hate me so much? W-What have I ever done to you?"

"You were born, you idiot!" he screamed, causing me to jump.

"But I couldn't control that! That's your fault!"

"You ruined my life, Chrissi. You don't understand, but you ruined my life.."

"H-How? I was a baby!"

"Your mother wasn't always the way she is now. She wasn't always a druggie. When she gave birth to you, she almost died. So the doctors put her on this drug to help her with the pain. She soon got addicted, and turned to more drugs. She is the way she is because of your birth. You're responsible for the condition of my wife. I will always hate you for that." I nodded my head, and turned around. That was all I needed to know. I finally got the closure I needed. I know he'll always hate me. But at least I now know why. I headed back to the car, with tears in my eyes. I know Gerard will definitely question, so I tried my best to wipe them away.

"Chrissi, before you say anything, I just want to apologize. I know I was stupid for trying to fight David, but I couldn't help myself. He was putting you through so much, it killed me. I'm sorry though." he held me in his arms. Maybe I was over reacting. I sighed and hugged him back. I just can't stay mad at him.

"I-It's okay, Gee. Just try not to be such an idiot sometimes." I laid my head in his chest. "I see he busted your lip." I frowned

"Yeah, but I'm fine. Just a little cut, that's all."

"Do you mind explaining what took you so long?" Jess demanded. I explained my dad's crazy theory. Gee shook his head.

"Fucked up." he sighed

"Yeah, but it's over now. I just wanted an answer, and I got one. It may not be the answer I wanted, but it's still an answer." I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"Alright, enough of this sad stuff. Who's up for pizza?!" Jess screamed. Gee and I chuckled and raised our hands. Jess sped up the car, and we headed for pizza.
