Everything Will Be Ok

***Gerard’s POV***
I was in complete shock when I saw the guy who was standing next to Taylor. Was that really him? Was that the guy I confronted last week in the locker room? I was in loss for words. We all stood there until I finally broke the silence. “And who is this?” I turned my gazes back to Taylor. “Mr. Way meet Nathan…” I shot him a dirty look. “Well Nathan, I suppose that your teacher wouldn’t be very happy with you if you were late to class, would they?” He shook his head. “Well then I recommend that you get a move on before I write you a detention slip.” I said with my arms crossed. “Alright, well bye Taylor.” He said as he ran off leaving only us two. “Why the hell did you have to be such a jerk to him?” She exclaimed. “Really Taylor, I’m the jerk? Well isn’t that the same guy who tried to hurt you after school last week?” She sighed. “He apologized to me about it. He really feels bad.” She replied. “Well I don’t trust him…” I said with my hands on my hips. “Well it’s not your job to tell me who I can and can’t hang out with!” She snapped. “Fine…but I can’t just let you off the hook for being late. So today after school you are going to have detention with me.” She groaned. “Are you serious?” I nodded. “Yep, just because you live with me does not mean that I won’t treat you like the rest of my students.” She finally just gave in. “Ugh fine…” As we both entered the classroom all eyes were on us. “Alright class get back to work!” I demanded as I walked over to my desk and sat down.

When the period was finally over, everyone collected their bags and rushed out the door. Usually Taylor would smile at me or say goodbye but this time she didn’t. I knew that now there was no chance that I could ever get her to like me again. But to be honest it didn’t matter if she did like me or not, since it would never work out. I just needed to step back into reality and get it through my head that she is my student and I am her teacher.

The day dragged on and on and it was finally the end of the school day. I glanced down at my watch. She should be here any minute now. As I waited impatiently at my desk I could see Taylor and Nathan outside together through the window. I kept my eyes on them as I saw him hug her goodbye. My cheeks grew hot with jealousy. Why was it so easy for her to forgive Nathan and so hard to forgive me? I had good reasons to break up with her and I still told her I loved her. Why did she have to hate me so much? I kept pondering on these thoughts until I heard the handle at the classroom door jiggle. It was Taylor. I quickly adjusted my tie, and smoothed out my hair, making myself as presentable as possible. She finally opened the door and walked in. “I’m here for my detention…” She mumbled. “Alright sit down while I find something for you to do.” She sat herself down at the desk in front of me. I placed a huge pile of papers on her desk. “Here are all my student’s projects. I want you to accurately grade all of these for me.” I said in my strict teacher voice. “Ugh, why can’t you do it? It’s your job as a teacher to do this not mine.” She hissed. “Well maybe next time you won’t be late to class.” She groaned. As she started to mark the projects, her phone went off. “What was that?” I asked annoyed. “Just a text.” She said as she took out her phone to reply. “Give me your phone.” I demanded. “Why?” She whined. “Because phones are not allowed to be on during detention.” “But-“I cut her off. “Do you want me to give you more work to do?” She sighed. ”Ugh fine.” She said as I snatched the phone from her hands. “How long do I have to be here?” She asked impatiently. “You can leave when you finish grading my papers.” “But this will take forever to finish!” She complained. “Do you have a date or something?” I asked sarcastically. “No…” She said quietly. “Then stop complaining.”

An hour had passed by and she was still grading. To pass the time by I decided to take a peek at her phone to see who had texted her. I looked at the messages to see that it was Nathan who had sent her a message.

“Can’t wait for Friday night!;)” It read.

What was that supposed to mean? Was he taking her out on a date or something? I was startled when Taylor caught me snooping on her phone. “Why the hell are you reading my messages?” She angrily asked. “Well what does Nathan mean by he can’t wait for Friday night?” She stood silent for a second. “Nothing…Now give me back my phone Gerard!” She yanked it out of my hand and sat back down. “You better not text on it until your detention is over!” I said as she shoved her phone back into her backpack.

***Another hour later***
“I’m done!” She announced. “Can we go now?” I nodded. “Yeah. Let’s go” I said as I collected all my papers. We quickly walked out of the classroom and I locked the door. As we headed over to the car she stopped. “What are you doing?” I asked confused. “I’m going to walk home.” My eyes widened. “Taylor, that’s crazy! Do you know what happens to girls like you that wonder around Jersey at night?” “I’ll be fine!” She exclaimed. “I’m not going to risk anything…now get in the car.” I demanded. “Fine…but I don’t have to talk to you.” She said bitterly as she got into the passenger seat. This was going to be a long car ride…
