Burn Bright

As it progressively got later, a thunder storm came. I hate thunder, every since I was a little girl the sound scared the living shit out of me. Don't as me why, it just did.

I changed into a pair of Gerard's sweat pants and one of his hoodies and he got me a thousand and two blankets to keep me warm at night, he always is so sweat to me, I love it. At about 3am a huge crack of thunder made me bolt straight up from my sleep. I stayed on the sofa and looked out Gerard's window to see how strong the wind and rain were, they were pretty damn strong. When another loud crack happened I upped my knee's to my chest and rested my head on the top of my knee's and whimpered.

"Kasey?" I tired Gerard asked from his bed. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, go back to sleep." I told him. Another crack happened and I bit my tongue trying not to whimper again.

"Come here." He moved his blankets on his bed inviting me to sleep with him.

"No, I'm fine." I lied.

"Kasey, if you don't come here, I'll go over there and drag you here." He warned, knowing him he actually would.

I nodded and got up from his sofa and made my way to his bed. I laid down on my side, since his bed was small, the only way both of us would fit is if we were both on our sides and pressed up right next to each other.

"Everything is gonna be okay." He assured me, then he wrapped one arm around me and pulled me closer to him, my face was pressed right up into his chest.

A loud crack happened and I whimpered again and pushed myself even further to him, if that was even possible.

"Can you sing?" I asked.

He gave a small chuckle, sending vibrations down his body, I felt them pretty strong.

"Sure." He cleared his throat and began singing on of the song he wrote:

"Well now this could be the last of all the rides we take
So hold on tight and don't look back
We don't care about the message or the rules they make
We'll find you when the sun goes black

And you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young we used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday

All the cameras watch the accidents and stars you hate
They only care if you can bleed
Does the television make you feel the pills you ate?
Or every person that you need to be

Cause you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young we used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday

Today, today
We are the kids from yesterday
Today, today

Here we are and we won't stop breathing
Yell it out 'till your heart stops beating
We are the kids from yesterday, today

'Cause you only live forever in the lights you make
When we were young we used to say
That you only hear the music when your heart begins to break
Now we are the kids from yesterday
We are the kids from yesterday
We are the kids from yesterday
We are the kids from yesterday
Today, today"

"Guys, wake up" Mikey said shaking the both of us awake.

"Go away Mikey." Gerard groaned then pulled me closer to him, we were still in the same position we fell asleep in.

"Carly is here, she's here for Kasey."

When he mentioned Carly my eyes shot open with excitement, but then I remembered today was my last day with her. Soon I felt tears swell up in my eyes, I started shaking as then fell over my eyes.

"We'll be done in a minute Mikes, give us some time."

"okay...." I heard Mikey open the door then close it again.

Gerard sat up and pulled me into an up-right position with him. He pulled me into his lap and let me cry for a bit in his arms.

"3 times in less than 24 hours you have had to be there for me when I cry," I said wiping my eyes, "I'm sorry."

"I love you with all my heart Kasey, I honestly don't care, if it were someone else, then I would care." He said and we both laughed.

I spent the night at Gerard's house a lot so I had my own drawer full of my clothes for whenever I unexpectedly came over, it happened a lot. I pulled out a bra, underwear, skirt and new shirt and laid them out on his bed. At the same time Gerard went over to his closet and did the same thing, laying his clothes next to mine. We kinda had a system, we both turned so our back were facing each other and began to undress. As I pulled the hoodie over my head, it kinda got stuck.

"Gee." I whined.

"Hmm?"

"The hoodie is stuck...." He laughed, I think he turned around to face me but I couldn't tell, the hoodie was covering my eyes.

"Need help?" He asked.

"Yes please."

I felt him tug a bit and in a few minutes he got the hoodie off of me. When I could see again I saw shirtless Gerard and I was also shirtless, except I had a bra on. I opened my mouth to thank him but his door opened and Mikey came in again.

"Carly said she needs- OH MY GOD NOT AGAIN!! YOU HAVE A FUCKING LOCK!!" he said and ran out covering his eyes. There was a thud so he must have ran into something while covering his eyes.

We both started laugh and Gerard walked over to his door and closed it and I turned around to finish getting ready. In the next 15 minutes we were both done and ready for the day. When we got downstairs, we saw Carly and Donna sitting on the sofa talking, when they saw us they both rolled their eyes.

"My god, you two take forever." Donna commented.

"Would have been faster if someone" Gerard said and pointed to me, didn't get stuck in a hoodie."

Everyone started laughing at me and I punched Gerard in the stomach. We said our goodbyes and I promised Gerard I would talk to him later today.

"Ready for your test?" Calry asked as she drove me to the DMV.

"Ready as I'll ever be."

Notes
