Everything Will Be Ok

***Gerard’s POV***
I awoke with an all too familiar sick feeling in my stomach and a sharp pain in my head. Yep, I did it again. Shit…even after I promised Mikey I wouldn’t do it anymore. I slowly rolled onto one side, struggling to pull myself off the uncomfortable couch. I then somehow got myself back on my feet as I accidently knocked over a few empty beer cans. Damn how much did I have? There must have been at least 5 cans lying around on the ground and coffee table. I then groggily made my way up the flight of stairs, stumbling over a few steps, and slumping over to my bedroom. The first thing I did was change my clothes, since I was still wearing yesterday’s clothes and it reeked of alcohol which I was quite accustomed to by now. Once I finally changed, I decided to go brew a cup of coffee to cure my hangover, when I ran into Taylor. It looked as if she had just woken up, due to her messy hair and droopy eyes. “Morning…” She mumbled sleepily. I hesitated a bit since I felt as if I was still angry at her. “Gerard…are you going to talk to me?” She asked, frowning. “Yeah…I just…I don’t know how I feel about things right now…” I croaked. “Gee, I need to explain to you about what happened last night.” She pleaded. I sighed. “Taylor, I don’t want to deal with that right now…I’m gonna go make some coffee and maybe take a shower, since I have a massive headache.” She furrowed her eyebrows. “Don’t you have to be at work soon though?” She questioned. “No…I’m gonna call in sick since I don’t feel well…And you are gonna stay here with me.” I demanded. “What? Why?” She gave me a puzzled look. “Do you really think I’m gonna let you go to school with a hickey like that on your neck?” I reminded her in a strict tone. “Oh…I guess you’re right.” She replied awkwardly.

It was now 2:00 in the afternoon, so I decided that I might pay Dave a little visit at the music shop. As I was heading out the door, Taylor stopped me. “Where are you going?” She asked, looking back in my direction. “Out…” I said, leaving through the front door and to my station wagon. Of course I wasn’t going to tell her where I was going…Cause I knew once I would tell her, she would yell at me and beg me to not to leave her. When I arrived at the parking lot of Rockin’ Records, I made sure to lock my car as I stormed right into the shop. Just as I suspected, I was excitedly greeted by Dave. “Gee! How’s my favorite customer doing?” He welcomed. I didn’t care if he was being nice to me right now…I was absolutely furious at him. “Cut the shit Dave!” I yelled angrily. “Damn what’s got you so heated?” My cheeks were growing red with anger. “I’m not stupid David…I know you and Taylor had a little affair thing going on in your shop last night!” I accused. His eyes widened in shock. “Man I don’t know what you’ve been smoking…but I haven’t laid a finger on Taylor…” He said, almost in fear of me. “Is that so?! Well then why did she come home with a humungous hickey on her fucking neck?” I sassed, placing my hands on my hips. “Gerard, like I told you…I never laid a finger on her. Now calm down bro” I could totally tell he was lying to my face. Without thinking, I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt as I held my fist in the air. “Do you wanna tell me the truth this time? Cause I won’t hesitate to punch you in the face!” I threatened. “Gerard, I swear I’m telling the fucking truth!” I could see the fear in his eyes when I finally nailed him straight in the nose. “Ow! Fuck!” He screamed in agony as he fell to the floor. Blood was now pouring out from his nostrils. “Why the fuck would you do that?!” He yelled in anger. “Because you fuckin lied to me…” I replied harshly. “Look Gee…” He began as the blood began to drip onto his white, cotton T-shirt. “I wasn’t even in the shop last night…so how could I have done anything with her?” I shook my head in disbelief. “Seriously dude…I can even show you on the security footage in the back.” I sighed. “Fine. But clean up your bloody nose…you’re getting blood all over the floor. ”I mumbled as he grabbed a towel and lead me into the back of the store.

When we got back there, he brought me to the corner of the room which held the security footage that he was wanting to show me. He then pulled out the memory card and walked me back to the front counter of the shop and placed it into his computer. Dave clicked on the screen to play the tape as it came up as the original black and white material. At the bottom of the computer screen, it showed the time as 7:24 PM. There were different views of the store on the footage. There was one recording the front door, one recording the desk, and one recording the back room. After a few minutes had passed of watching, Taylor had finally came into view as she appeared in the entrance as she walked her way to the front counter. Both Dave and I sat impatiently as I began to notice that it was actually just her running the store. I then brought my glances towards Dave as he paused the footage. “See I told ya. I wasn’t here last night.” He replied, giving me the “I told you so” look. I rubbed the back of my neck in utter confusion. “But how can that be-“I mumbled. He then turned to me as he gave me a sympathetic look. “Man I’m sorry about your girlfriend and everything…but I can’t do anymore to help you…” I nodded. “That’s alright…Sorry for your nose…I’ll see you later…” He then patted me lightly on the back. “Alright…I’ll see ya later…”
