Safe Secrets (Gerard Way)
Chapter 4

I walked to the concert park where it was being held.It was pretty large,and tickets were thirty dollars.I walked up to the stand,bought a ticket and walked through the big metal gate.I was bit early so I stood close by the stage.People were already there,pushing to the front,But I managed.I glanced at my watch,It was almost time then the lights went out and Gerard stepped on stage.
The beginning of the song You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison,started.The band played and play,The crowd roared in approval.After the end of the song I could see Franksaying something into the dead mic.Gerard frowned and so did the others,Well except Mikey.He didn't need to cause that was his normal expression .The poor guy probably had stage fright.Gerard then smiled.
"How are you guys?Are you all...okay?"He asked the crowd and the crowd roared."Me?Oh,No.I'm not okay.Would you like to hear about it?"He asked the crowd and they roared again."I said 'WOULD YOU LIKE TO FUCKING HEAR ABOUT IT?!' ''He yelled into the mic and the crowd roared so loudly I thought I was going to go deaf.The song I'm Not Okay (I Promise) started and the crowd was kinda of quieter.
They weren't screaming,But there was lot of noise coming from behind me.Without me knowing a fucking mosh pit started behind me.The worst part was there was girl in the middle probably 13 or 14,She was the only one getting hit.Without me thinking of course,I jumped into the pit.I did get punch but in the stomach the first time,I grabbed her shirt but I lost grip since about 20 was holding her down.When I got her,I got her arm this time.I felt a fist hit my face,and I punched that person back.When we finally got out I released the girl's arm."Thanks.My..friends..pushed me in."She told me.I shurgged "No problem.".She then ran off somewhere else.
I looked at the stage to see that Gerard was looking at me.They then began to play Thank You For The Venom.During the song Frank stepped over then kissed Gerard,It wasn't a peck or a cheek kiss.It was long and deep.A few songs later,the concert was over,But when I went to leave a hand grabbed my shoulder.I jumped then turned around."Are you Hayley Ann?"A security asked me.I nodded."Good,You're wanted back stage."He said then I started following him backstage to see a smiling Gerard.
"Hi."He waved."That was amazing!"I said.He shrugged,"What was amazing was you jumping into that fuking pit to save that girl."He said."Yeah,Those fucking thing are violet."I said giggling."You looked violet!You were kicking ass out there!But your nose is bleeding."He told me."No kidding."I said laughing and he then started laughing.Frank then walked over and stood beside Gerard.He waved but didn't make eye contact with me,I waved back though.His eyes then started looking at my sweatshirt.Gerard's sweatshirt.He kept looking which kinda of creeped me out.He then stared into my eyes.
"I'll be on the bus,Gerard."He walked off to the bus."He's really mad;he never calls me Gerard.Only Gee."Gerard told me,"We were...together a couple days ago.''."Oh,"It then hit me,"A couple days ago?Did I do that?I'm so sorry!Oh god,I'm such a fuck up!".He laughed,"No need to be so emo!That was the icing on the cake.He hardly ever talks to me."."But didn't he kiss you on stage?"I asked him."Yea,He does that."He said,"So do you wanna go on the bus?".I raised my eyebrows and he laughed."No,Not for that!To clean your nose."Gerard said.I put my hand up to my nose then nodded.
We both walked onto the tour bus.It was messier than expected and it didn't really smell well.Frank was probably hidding in his bunk.Bob was cooking something.Mikey and Ray were sitting in Mikey's bunk.They looked at Gerard with an unreadble expression and then looked at each other."No."Gerard told them.I think it might have been some sort of band code or something.He then grabbed a bottle of water and paper towel.I sat on the counter and he then poured some water on the towel and started dabbing on my nose."Gerard!Be more careful!"I yelled."Shhh!"He said laughing at me.He then started dabbing more gental."Almost done."He said,I then realized how close he was to me,He was VERY close."I think that's good."He said then glided back away from me.
Gerard then looked outside,It was probably 10 or 11 at night."I should probably leave."I said then got off the counter."It's too dark out.You might get hurt or something."Gerard said frowning.I shook my head,I really didn't want to cause more problems with Gerard and Frank."Stay in my bunk."He said,"So you won't get attcked by the guys outside the coffee shop.".I smiled at the memory.Mikey laughed then whispered something to Gerard that made Gerard go pink."Go ahead up.I'll be there in a minute."Gerard said to me.He then whispered something into Mikey's ear that made him shake his head and laugh."Fine,Whatever."Mikey said.
Gerard then climbed in next to me and grinned.I grinned back,He then wrapped an arm around my waist and I then inhaled his scent.Coffee,cigarettes,sweat and I loved every bit of it.We laid there for proabaly an hour looking into each other's eyes.Suddenly I heard shuffling beneath us.Frank stood."Gee,I've been thinking.I really-"He stopped when he saw Gerard's arm around me.He must have not heard us talking eariler.Gerard's eyes widened,"Frank,I-".Frank cut him off,"You know what?Fuck.This."He growled then walked off the tour bus.Gerard looked at me."Go."I told him.
He hopped up and ran out.About almost two hours later,Gerard came back with Frank.They both had tears in there eyes.Frank climbed into his bunk and went to sleep.Gerard climbed up and buried his head in my shoulder,Wrapping his arms around me.A couple minutes later I heard Gerard's shallow breathing,He cried himself to sleep.I glance over to see Mikey,He was staring at me.He pointed towards Gerard and I responded with a shrug.Mikey then rolled over and went to sleep.I really didn't get these guys,Yet I was beginning to feel something for one of them.I really didn't know if I was falling for Gerard or not.I then soon fell asleep.
When I woke up I was still in Gerard's arms,But he was awake."I didn't want to wake you up."Gerard told me.I then remembered last night."What happened last night?"I asked him.He sighed,"I'll tell you later.Right now let's get some coffee."Gerard said as we got out of his bunk.When we got our coffee I smiled at him.The bus smelled worse than yesterday."Hey if you guys want you can shower at my house."I said."I don't think I need a shower!I smell great!"Gerard smiling.Mikey then poped out of nowhere."I swear to god Gerard,If you turned down free showers for the band I will kill you."Mikey threated.Gerard and I started laughing.Bob and Ray then walked in with new black dress shirts.
"Hey,I got free showers for everyone at Hayley Ann's place."Gerard annoced to everyone.They all smiled at me."Got you one."Bob said then tossed Gerard a new black dress shirt."Thanks this one is starting to smell."Gerard said."Everything you own smells.''Bob said."Oh!You can also do your laundry,too."I said.Gerard smiled at me in thanks."Will stop by after the show."Gerard told me."Okay,Well I gotta get home to feed Danger."I said."I'll walk you."Gerard suggested.We both walked out the door together.We started talking about random things,I was gonna tell him that I'm depressed and bipolar but I don't want him to worry about me that much.He hummed the song The Ghost Of You and I listened.
Before I knew it,We where at my house.He then kissed my forehead,"I'll see you later."Gerard said.He turned to leave."Wait don't you want your hoodie?"I asked him."Keep it."He called over his shoulder.I smiled then turned to my door.I unlocked then opened the door.''Danger,baby?"I called out he then run up and attacked my leg,Welcoming me home.
