Burn Bright

***************11 Years Later****************

"Alright, now park the car." Carly instructed me as I pulled into the driveway of my house.

"Very good." She said, it made me feel good, "You are gonna pass that test with flying colors tomorrow." I couldn't help but notice she seemed kinda sad, she did every time she took me driving.

"Carly, every time we go for a drive you look upset, whats wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing."

"You say that every time." I pushed her.

She sighed.

"Kasey, your mom and I were talking," Of course my mom had something to do with this, that bitch ruins everything for me, "She told me when you get your license, my services are no longer required."

"What?" I asked completely shocked.

"When you pass that test tomorrow, I'm fired."

"Then I'll fail it." I told her, I could feel tears forming in my eyes.

"Don't do that, you have worked so hard." She told me then placed a hand on my cheek.

I pulled away from her touch and ran into the house, tears were spilling over my eyes. I knew my mom was somewhere in the house so I ran around until I found her. When I did she was going into her office.

"How could you?!" I yelled at her.

"What now Kasey?" She asked, very annoyed with me.

"How can you fire Carly?"

"For heavens sake, your 16, you don't need a nanny anymore. Grow up." She told me then walked into her office.

Why is she ruining my life? I turned around and quickly walked out of the house and back to my car and just drove. I felt my phone buzz a few times, they were probably text messages from Carly asking me to come home but I did not want to be with anyone right now, I needed alone time. The only place I could think of going to be by myself was the park. Not any of the local parks we had in my very rich neighborhood. The one Carly took me 11 years ago, the same place where I met Gerard.

When I had gotten there I walked past every bench and made my way to the same jungle gym where I had met him. I don't know why, but every time I get upset I come here and sit on the big yellow slide until I feel better. And that's just what I did. I cried to myself until I felt a body squish up next to mine. I turned to see my best friend, Gerard smiling at me, but when he saw tears running down my face he pulled me so I was sitting on his lap and my head rested on his shoulder.

"Kasey, whats wrong?" He asked as he stroked my back.

"Gee-Gee." I only call him that when I'm really upset, "She ruins everything." I cried.

"Who?" He asked.

"my mom."

He sighed, he hated her almost as much as I did.

"What did she do now?"

"She's gonna fire Carly tomorrow." I cried, "I know I'm to old for a nanny but she was always there for me, she's the reason why I met you." He let me cry into his chest until I had gotten control over myself.,

"How did you know I was here?" I asked as I pulled away and wiped up my tears.

"You didn't answer your phone so I figured you were upset about something, and you always come here when your upset." he told me and smiled. "No offense or anything, but your mom is a total bitch."

"I know right." We both laughed.

"I know what will make you feel better." He sang into my ear.

"What?" I asked as a smile crept up on my face.

Instead of answering, he tightly wrapped his arms around my waist and pushed both of us down the slide. Just like he did the first time we ever gone down this slide. We both were laughing on the way down. When we hit the bottom we continued to laugh until a few drops of rain began to fall.

"Fuck." I hated the cold, the rain and especially thunder storms. I also wasn't wearing a jacket.

"Here." Gerard said taking off his hoodie.

"Gee, I cant, you'll get sick.

"Who the fuck cares?" He said handing it out. I smiled and gladly took the hoodie and pulled it on. He wrapped one hand over my shoulder as we walked back to my car.

"D o you want a ride home?" I asked.

"Yes please." He said climbing into the seat. His house wasn't very far away from the park so it was only a short ride there.

"You coming in?" He asked as we pulled up to his house.

"Sure."I said as I locked my car and walked into his house, we were greeted by his mother.

"Kasey! What a surprise to see you here." Donna said sarcastically, I was there almost everyday.

"Hi Donna." I told her as I hugged her.

:"We'll be in my room!" Gerard called as we went into his room.

Gerards room never really changed, he had the same bed in the same bed in the same spot as he did 11 years ago, he had his dresser in the same spot, the only thing new was his desk where her drew all his creative work, and his sofa where I usually slept if I spent the night. Gee took a seat on his bed while I took one on his desk chair.

"You gonna spend the night?" He asked. I glanced at my phone and saw it was getting late.

"Yea sure, can I borrow clothes for the night?" I asked.

"Sure, I'll get them." He said quickly and rushed up from his seat and yo his dresser, but I beat him there.

"I know where all your crap is." I told his as I opened the dresser and started fishing around for something to where.

"Yeah but, I'll do it for you." he said, his face was turning red.

"I can do it on my own, I don't see the big-" I stopped talking when I found something under all his clothes, a magazine with a few naked girls on it.

"Gee!" I turned to face him with a fake shocked look on my face, he was a red as a tomato. "What do we have here?" I asked.

"Okay ha-ha, give it back." He tried to take it form he but I quickly moved away from him and onto his bed.

"Try to take it again and I'll call Donna in here." I warned him. He frowned and took a seat across from me.

Just to bug him I slowly started flipping through the pages looking at all the people. Every once in a while I would glace to Gerard and he was so embarrassed it was cute.

"Look at theses skinny bitches." I said then I laid down on is bed and kicked my legs in the air and mimicked on of the girls.

"okay that's enough." Gerard said and got up to take the magazine from me. I was too quick though. I threw the magazine between my legs before he could get it from me. he lunged for it but fell short. We were in a really awkward place on the bed. His crotch was mere inches away from my face so was mine to his face. It was kinda weird staring at his package, but things got really awkward when the door opened and Mikey walked in.

"Hey Gee, I heard Kasey was- MY SWEET VIRGIN EYES!!!!" He yelled as he covered his eyes and ran out of the room. Gerard and I started laughing so hard he rolled off of me, but since his bed wasn't very big he landed on the floor with a thud, making me laugh even more.

"Oh my god that was great." I said as I sat up. "Maybe that will teach you to hide your porno in a better spot." i told him.

"Fuck off."

"No, I'm sure that's what you do with the magazine." i smirked at him.

"You're getting it now." He said then jumped on the bed and straddled me, before I knew it he was tickling my side makeing me laugh like a crazy person.

"I. hate. you." I manged to get out betwene my giggle fits.
