Everything Will Be Ok

My vision then began to come back into contrast once again as I was immediately startled by a large figure standing over me. I then closed my eyes and reopened them as my eyesight was much clearer. Hovering above my body was a strange, young man, probably in his late twenties, looking down at me with a concerned expression. “Oh good you’re awake.” He replied in a deep, mellow tone. “W-who are you?” I croaked. “I was going to ask you the same thing.” He chuckled. “I’m Dave, Nathan’s roommate.” He explained, hauling me up to my feet. “Brooke. Brooke Fahle. Nathan’s step-sister.” A sense of realization came over him. “Oh…alright…Then what brings you here?” He questioned. “Well Nathan asked for me to pick him up some groceries and drop him off when-“I was then cut off by a sharp pain in my head. I grunted in agony. “Are you ok?” I nodded reassuringly. “Yeah I just hit my head really hard against something I guess…”He exchanged me a worrifull glance. “Ah yes I think you might have bumped yourself into one of the shelves over there.” He said, holding my face in his palms. “Yeah I can feel a bump right here…” He replied tracing his fingers over my forehead. “Well I know exactly what will help with that…I’ll be right back!” He exclaimed as he stormed off into the kitchen. As I waited for his reappearance, I turned the corner of the hallway as I then came to realization as to why I had panicked and hit my head in the first place. Sitting right in front of me, was Gerard like I remembered several minutes ago, except he was unconscious this time. I gasped as I noticed he was looking as unhealthy as ever. “Hey Brooke I got you a-“Dave walked in as he then noticed me standing in Gerard’s presence. “You weren’t supposed to see that…” He mumbled softly. “What the hell happened to him?” I shrieked. He was speechless. “And why is he tied up to a chair with no clothes on?” My hands were now trembling. “I-“I then cut him off. “Did you do this to him?” I looked over at him with sorrowful eyes. “N-no…” He choked out. “Then who did this to him? Nathan?” He slowly nodded. “I tried my best to stop him…but you see…he’s-“I furrowed my eyebrows. “He’s what?” I asked anxious for him to finish his sentence. “I’m sorry to say this, but your brother is insane Brooke. If I don’t listen to his every word, he’ll threaten me…” He said, his voice shaking. “Threaten you how?” I gave him a puzzled look. “He’ll threaten to kill me…” I stood there horrified at what I had heard. “Kill you? Nathan wouldn’t do that…Would he?” He bit his lip nervously as he continued on. “There’s one thing you got to know about Nathan. He will do whatever it takes to get his way, even if it means hurting others in his path.” I then turned my gazes from Dave to Gerard. Poor Gerard. I thought. Nathan was going to plan on killing him wasn’t he….I then met Dave’s eyes once again as he put a hand on my shoulder in sympathy. “Dave you’re going to have to do me a big favor alright?” He nodded. “Anything for what you’re going through…What do you need me to do for you?” I gulped. “I need you to help me get Gerard out of here…” His eyes widened in horror at the thought. “Brooke as much as I want to, I can’t. Nathan wouldn’t hesitate to hurt me if I were to have him leave this place.” A single tear rolled down my cheek. “Dave, don’t you see that he is on the edge of death right now! Look at him. His ribs are completely visible at this point and he has lost all the color and life in his face!” I pleaded. “Brooke I-“I cut him off instantly. “You have to understand! My boyfriend Mikey is his brother, and if you let Gerard die here, he’s going to break down completely. Please Dave do this for his friends and family who need and care for him…” I cried hopelessly. He remained silent for a while. “Alright…I’ll do this for Gerard because he has always been a good friend of mine…” I squealed as I wrapped my arms tightly around him. “Thank you.Thank you.Thank you!”He chuckled. “No problem, but we better hurry and get him out of here before Nathan comes back.” I then pulled away quickly from his grasp as we then hurried over to Gerard as we cut him loose from the ropes and carried him out of the house and into the passenger’s seat of my car. “Wow he’s really knocked out isn’t he?” Dave commented. “Yeah we better make sure he still has a pulse.” I mentioned as I placed two of my fingers on his limp wrist. “Yeah he’s fine. But he definitely needs some care and fixing up.” I replied snapping in my seatbelt and sticking my keys into the ignition. “Well thank you for everything Dave! And please call me if you are ever in danger of Nathan…” I spoke as I wrote down the digits of my cell on a slightly used Starbucks napkin and handed it to him. He smiled. “Thanks Brooke…It was nice meeting you. Hope to keep in touch.” He said, waving back at me as I began to drive back to the comforting place that I would like to call home.
