Everything Will Be Ok

Chapter 57

Somehow I managed to fall asleep, but it wasn’t until a few hours had passed, that I was awoken by the obnoxious sound of the house phone. I groaned as I went to go answer it. As I tiptoed to the other side of the room, I heard Gerard mumble something in his sleep. I kept silent, so I wouldn’t wake him up and picked up the phone from the dresser. “Hello?” I whispered as quietly as possible. There wasn’t a response. I then went to check if the person on the other line had hung up, but it still showed at they were on the line. “Hello? Is anyone there?” No one was responding as I began to get more and more infuriated and just finally hung up. I went to walk to my side of the bed when I heard Gerard’s soft, sweet voice. “Taylor, why are you up?” He asked half awake. “Sorry I didn’t mean to wake you, it’s just that I heard the phone ring and went to get up and answer it.” He furrowed his eyebrows. “Who would be calling at this time of night?” I shrugged. “I don’t know.” I mumbled. “Well didn’t you say you answered it? Didn’t the person say who they were?” I shook my head. “No, no one was on the other line. Probably just a stupid prank call or wrong number.” I explained. “Oh ok.” He said as he rested his head back down onto his pillow. Right as I was going to lay down, we were interrupted by the phone once again. “Ugh what the fuck?” Gerard then groggily got himself out of bed as he walked over to the dresser. “Here let me get this.” He rubbed his eyes as he answered it. “Hello?” He just stood there tapping his foot impatiently. “Hello…hello…is this some kind of joke…hello…is anyone there…” He then furiously hung up and put it back onto the receiver. “Did they say anything?” I asked curiously. “Not a word. He sighed. “Was there a Caller ID?” He shook his head. “No…let’s just hope that they won’t call again.” I agreed as we finally both rested ourselves into bed. I could feel his comforting arms wrap around my waist as the room was left in silence.

It was about 10 minutes later, and the damn phone was ringing AGAIN. “Are you fucking kidding me?” I grumbled as Gerard and I got up for the third time tonight. This time I picked up the phone. “Look, my boyfriend and I are trying to get some sleep, now can u stop calling us!” I yelled angrily. I was startled to actually hear a voice coming from the other side of the line. But it wasn’t a comforting voice. It seemed as if it was voiced over to make the person unrecognizable. The robotic sound made me cringe. “Who is this?” I demanded, waiting for an answer. It remained silent until someone finally spoke up. “Oh Taylor, may I say you look much better with your clothes off…” I froze. My immediate reaction was to walk back over to the bedroom window. And just like I thought, the car was still there…it was still fuckin there…in our motherfuckin driveway. Who the hell was in that car? “I can report you to the police.” I threatened. The person chuckled. “Oh honey your so cute when your angry.” The guy said on the other line. A single tear fell down my cheek. “Stop calling!” I commanded as I hung up and threw the phone down for the last time. More tears began to fall as I was struck in fear. “Babe what’s wrong? Did they say anything? “Gerard frantically asked in a concerned voice. “Gerard I think I’m being stalked…”I mumbled between hiccups. “Taylor why would you think that? Who was talking on the phone with you?” I looked up at him with tear filled eyes. “I don’t know…the voice was disguised…” He embraced me into his arms as he rubbed circles into my back. “What did they say?” I hesitated for a second. “They said that I-“I paused. “Taylor tell me what they said now.” His said, sounding stricter than before. I finally just gave in. “They said that I….they said that I looked better naked….” The look in his eyes was indescribable. “What?! How the fuck would they know?” I was now choking on my sobs. Gerard then began to notice my fear and tried his best to calm me back down again.“Shh. shhh. You know what, it was probably just some teens prank calling us like you said….now just calm down and let’s get to bed. I doubt they’ll call again. My head was rested onto his shoulder as the tears slowed down. “Are u ok sweetheart?” He asked looking back down at me. I nodded. “Yeah I guess…” He then gave me a weak smile and kissed the tip of my nose. I put my arms around his neck as he carried me bridal style back to the bed. Gerard then softly placed my head down onto my pillow, and tucked me into the sheets. “Now it’s time for you to get some rest, so you’re not too tired for school tomorrow.” He whispered as I drifted back off into a very deep sleep.
