Everything Will Be Ok

The two boys sprinted out of the locker room before Gerard could catch them. “Hey, get back here!” He yelled after them as they both escaped. Gerard came back to face me. His expression showed confusion and shock. “Taylor…what happened? Did those boys hurt you?!”Gerard asked frantically. He began to blush, when I realized I was still half naked. I covered my chest the best I could with my arms. ”O-oh my god, I’m s-so sorry!” He apologized as he covered his hands over his eyes. This situation couldn’t have been more awkward. “Taylor just make yourself presentable, and meet me outside so we can discuss what happened. “He said, as he left the room, keeping his eyes covered. I felt so ashamed that my own teacher saw me…shirtless. I bet you he even saw the marks from the beatings my stepmother gave me from the past few days.

I threw my baggy shirt over my body and headed outside the locker room to meet with Gerard like he told me to. I really didn’t want to speak with him about the incident, but I knew he would force me to talk about it anyways. I felt sick to my stomach when I saw the look on his face. “Look Gerard, nothing happened in there…” I bluffed. I couldn’t even make eye contact with him because I felt so dirty. “Taylor, we both know that is not true. Now did they hurt you or did they…”He paused. “Did they sexually harass me?” I blurted out bitterly. “Is that what you are asking me?” His face flushed. There was a long awkward pause when he finally broke the silence. “Well…did they?” He asked quietly. I kept my focus on the ground. I didn’t answer him. “Ok, well if you won’t answer me, then tell me the names of the two boys that were just with you. “Gerard demanded. ”I-I don’t know…” I mumbled under my breath. ”Oh come on, you must know who they are!” He exclaimed. “Gerard I’m being honest with u this time. I never have talked to those guys before in my life. Tears began to flow again. “Its ok Taylor, I believe you...” He said as he rubbed my back, trying to get me to calm down. He wiped the tears from my pale face. “Gerard, I’m sorry about everything I said before…”I said. “Taylor…its ok I-I forgive you.” He gave me a weak smile. I kept myself snuggled into his chest as he stroked the back of my hair. “No…no it’s not ok. I’ve just been dealing with a lot of shit lately…and I feel really bad about how I’ve been treating you.” I confessed. “No Taylor it’s my fault that I’ve been too overprotective with you. And I apologize.” He held me closer and I could feel his hot breath on my neck.

After I finally calmed down I pulled myself away from his grasp. I looked down at my phone. “Shit.” I whispered. “What’s wrong?” He gave me a puzzled look. ”I have to be at the hospital now!” I exclaimed. His confused look turned into a worried look. “Why? “He asked quickly. I wasn’t sure if I should tell him. But he did seem to really care so I did. “My father…he was in an a-accident a few weeks ago.” He gasped. I continued on. “Yeah so since then, he’s been in a coma…and every day after school, I like to go over to the local hospital to visit him.” I replied. His hands covered his mouth in complete shock. “Taylor I didn’t mean to bring that up…I’m so sorry.” I shook my head. “No its ok don’t worry about it. But yeah, I usually stay there with him for about a half hour each day, and head on home so I don’t get in trouble by my stepmom.” He wiped his raven locks away from his face. “Let me drive you there. “He offered. “No-no its fine you don’t have to do that, after all that you have done for me.” I replied. “It’s the least I can do.” He gave me a warm smile. “Ok but only this one time!” I said. He giggled as we headed over to his car. As I sat myself in the passenger seat, I looked back at him as we met gazes. “Thank you.” He blushed. “Anytime.”

Throughout most of the car ride, he played some of his favorite punk rock albums. We both sang along obnoxiously to Blink 182 and Nirvana. I didn’t know that he had such good music taste! I also have to say his voice was pretty damn good. I began to laugh from how horrible my voice was sounding. “Gerard, you are really good at singing!” I exclaimed. ”Nah, it’s not all that great. He responded. “Are you kidding? You’re amazing!” He awkwardly grinned at my compliment. We began to talk about other music we liked, when we drove up to the hospital parking lot. When we entered the oddly smelling building, we headed straight to the room to where my father was staying. I opened the door of his room to see my father lying lifelessly on the bed. To be honest he actually looked dead. He didn’t breathe or even twitch. Gerard and I sat ourselves down on the chairs beside the hospital bed. “This may sound stupid…but sometimes I like to talk to him. He probably can’t hear me, but it somehow makes me feel like he’s still with me.” I whispered as if my father would wake up if I spoke loud enough. Gerard turned his focus from my dad to me. ”Taylor that’s not stupid at all. I understand how you feel. When you lose someone you love, you just want to keep believing that they are still here with you when nobody else is.” A tear rolled down his cheek. I had never seen him cry before, but it definitely broke my heart when I did see it. “Gerard, is everything ok?” I asked concerned. “Oh yeah, I’m perfectly fine. “He quickly wiped the tear from his face. He seemed embarrassed. “I guess it’s just that I really dislike hospitals. The last time I was in a hospital was when I had to say goodbye to my grandma Helena.” I gave him a sympathetic look.”Wh-what was she like?” I asked. “She was like a best friend to me. She supported me and Mikey so much. She loved us when our parents didn’t. She actually taught me everything I know today. “He smiled slightly from the memories of his grandmother. “She sounded lovely. I commented. “She was…she definitely was…”

We collected our things, headed out of the hospital, and he drove me to my house. As the car stopped in front of my driveway, I checked the time. “Oh my god. I’m an hour late! She’s going to throw a fit.” I exclaimed. “Here, let me walk you to your door.” He offered politely. We both walked together to my front porch. “Thank you for everything.” I smiled at him. “No problem!” We both stood there kind of silent until Gerard opened his mouth to talk. He scratched the back of his ear nervously. I was about to open the door, when he stopped me. ”Taylor umm…I-I have to a-ask you s-something.” He seemed nervous for some reason. ”Yeah, what is it?” I asked confused. “Wi-will you umm…maybe…uh…go on a date with me? “My eyes widened. ”I mean you can say no, its fine-“I cut him off. “Gerard I would absolutely love to! “He smiled from ear to ear. “Great! So will Saturday at 8 be ok?” I nodded. We kept our eyes in contact when he leaned in and kissed me. I silently moaned as he slipped his tongue in my mouth. I placed my hands on his chest as he ran his fingers down to my waist. Our tongues swirled in sync, when the front door of the house opened. “Taylor, what the hell are you doing?”
