Our Lady Of Sorrows

25

******* Liz's P.O.V*********

The wind was unreal. It was the middle of May and we had hurricane like winds, what the fuck was that about. I wouldn't let it get in the way of my walk though, I needed this, working out became my drug ever since I give Clare away.

I fought my way to the park, many people had advised me to go back home and stay indoors, a few of them had even offered me rides home. I denied them all and told them I would be just fine. When I had finally made it to the park the winds had been blowing the trees so hard they would have been bending him half, the light polls were violently flying in every direction. I could barley take a step without almost being knocked over. Walking here I fell over twice and could barely get up.

Not more than 20 feet ahead of me there was a stop sign that was violently shaking from side to side. My goal was to touch it then go back home, but after the 3rd time I had been knocked over I decided to just I back home now. But something stopped me. The wind was blowing so hard I couldn't get back up from the floor. I tried to push myself up but nothing happened. Then something I never would have thought happened, the stop sign that was ahead of me, came out from the ground and came flying at me. It was like an axe those people in the renaissance times threw them. I barely had time to blink before the sharp edge of the stop sign was a few feet from my head.

*****Gerard's P.O.V******

"Dude, look at that wind." Frank said looking out the window. I was getting Clare dressed for the wind.

"No way am I letting you walk home in that. I'll give you a ride." Once she was dressed I wrapped her in a blanket, she was so adorable, even while sleeping.

"Then whose gonna watch Clare?" He asked, Mikey and my parents were out and the news man advised everyone to stay indoors.

"I'm gonna take her, she'll be in the car the entire time, no harm will come to her." I said as I held her close to my chest and started going down the stairs.

"You don't have to."

"Yes I do. Come on." I said, I sped walked to the car. As soon as Clare hit the wind she started crying, I put her in her car seat as quick as u could as Frank got into the front seat.

"I know baby, I know you don't like the wind." I cooed to her then kissed her face as then I went into the drivers seat.

She kept whimpering in the back and Frank was leaning back making silly faces at her to keep her entertained. It was working because not long after I heard her giggles, I swear that sounds can turn one of the worst days into the best. Even when it 4am and I'm doing a diaper change, her laugh makes me smile.

"Thanks man." He said as I pulled in front of his house.

I watched him walk into his house, he stumble a few time because of the wind but he got in safely. As soon as he closed the door she started whimpering again.

"You really like uncle Frank don't you?" I asked her.

In response I got more whimper from her until I pulled back to my house. I quickly pulled her out and carried her back to the house, she was full blown crying. I gave her a bottle and sang her to sleep to calm we down. When she was asleep I took her to her nursery and laid her down, as soon as I tucked her in, all if the power in the house went off.

"Well I can't leave you here all by yourself now can I?" I asked her.

I sighed as I picked her back up and took her down stairs, I put her in her rocker and let her sleep in that while I was in the sofa drawling in my personal sketchbook, it's been a while since I have been able to sketch, being a single dad is a full time job. About an hour later their was a knock on the door.

"Now who would be out in this weather?" I asked Clare again, she was still napping.

I gave her a small smile then went to answer the front door. I was expecting Mikey or my parents to be at the door, but I never expected the person that I saw.
