You're Never Just A 'Nobody'
Chapter 16.
"HEY HEY HEY HEY!!" Maggie and Frank come racing over, my rage isn't fully out of my system, I go in for another slap, but being stopped as Maggie grabs me by my waist and takes me away. Frank has hold of Gerard too, telling him to settle down.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?!" Gerard screams at me.
"WHAT WASNT IT FOR?! YOURE A FUCKING IDIOT! I HATE SEEING YOUR FACE! YOU DESEVED IT YOU DIPSHIT!" I scream back at him. He doesn't fight back. He just looks at me, looking at my face. His body isnt raising and falling as fast as it was previously, his breathing slow.
"You're right-" He pushes himself off Frank, ."I am an idiot. I'm fucked up." He says, this time walking over to his keys and wallet,
"I just want you to know, deep down inside, you mean the world to me. And, I'm sorry if I never showed it. I understand if you never want anything to do with me again, just tell me." Walking towards the door, he takes one last look at me,
"I'm sorry, Ava." Is the last thing he says before walking out of the door. Maggie has realesed her grip from my waist and is beside me, Frank holding her.
"He, he's probably gone for the night, I think I'll go after him," Frank says, racing towards the door.
"Wait! Frank," I say, "Frank, please let me come with you. It's my fault, it's my fucking fault he's going, please Frank.." Tears stream down my face, Frank takes one final look towards the door, turning back to me and nods his head.
I quickly get changed into some warm clothes and we make our way out, searching for Gerard.
-------------- *45 minutes later: 9:15pm* ---------------
So far we've searched; Gerard's dorm, Mikey's apartment, other university rooms, the local bar and pub, and so far, no luck. Frank rubs his temples in frustration, Maggie tries to calm him down.
"I have no fucking idea where else he could be, guys. I worried sick"
Both Maggie and I nod in agreement. We continue searching the streets of New York. How far can a 22 year old get?! The cold Autumn air is flowing through the city, couples are walking through the streets hand-in-hand, we walk past a couple pubs and restrants playing nice music. It tames down the mood.
"Maybe we should split up, it's almost 9:30pm and I don't want to spend the whole night doing this." Maggie pipes up. We all decide to split up. Maggie and taking the west side, Frank covering the the subways and myself walking around the Univserity area. I ask around, looking for anyone who has any sight of seeing Gerard, no one helps.
A scummy bar comes into view, I can't help but to walk in, having the strange feeling Gerard could possibly be in here. It's small, ugly green and brown walls surrounding the all four corners of the bar. It smells extremely horrid, the taste lingers in my mouth it's that strong. A couple men are seated up front of the counter, drinking and somewhat talking. I look from one corner to another, spotting a single person in a booth. Black hair mopped around his face, he has his head down on the table.
I make my way over to the man, curious to see if it's Gerard. I take a seat on the other side of the booth. He looks up noticing my arrival, my prediction is right, its Gerard.
His face is red and so are his eyes, he has sweat drenched around his pixie face, his face has an expressionless look across it. He keeps hold of our stare, looking past me, almost as if he doesn't know who I am.
"Why did you come here?" He slurs, attempting to try sounding normal, but fails.
"Im here because of you, Gee" I reply back to him.
A small smirk whips across his face, he shyly turns his head in another direction and looks back to me. I can't help but to laugh lightly at his actions,
"What's so funny?" I question him, still laughing a bit.
"You called me Gee-" oh, so I did, "- no one calls me that but Mikey, my family and Frank." He says, answering my question. We sit there and smile for a little bit, just staring around the place.
"Gerard, come on, it's late. We should probably head back now"
"Nooooooo, I don't want to gooooo" He says, back to hopelessly slurring. He reaches for his drink but I get it before him.
"No. Gee come, we gotta go, everyone's worried about you."
"Give me my drink first, LAST one! Pleaseeeeee" He begs for his drink I'm holding.
I shake my head, he gives me a stern look,
"What are you going to do with it then? Let it go?" He asks, pushing the reasons further.
I bring the drink to my lips and scoff it down in one. I place the cup back down and look back at him. His face is starstruck. He lets out a breath, we sit there for another good 10 minutes.
"Okay, I think I'm ready to leave." He randomly chirps out. I look up at him to see attempting to get up,
"Here, I'll help you" I sand up and race to his side, griping my arm around his waist to steddy him. We make it back to the University around 10:40pm. I take Gerard back to my room, I let him settle a little before asking him to take his clothes off and shower, which he can surprising do himself. I have a pair of his boxers left in my draws and bring it to him. Since it's extremely cold, I wait for him to get his boxers on before helping him with the rest.
I fling his shirt over his head, he continues to stare down at me. I continue dressing him.
I'm taken back when he grabs me by the waist and pushes me against the bathroom basin, he comes closer to my face but then connects his lips to my neck, until he finds my sweet spot. I lightly moan not realizing the situation I'm apart of, I push him off of me, shaking my head taking his hand in mine and drag him to my bed. I lay him down and tuck him in, just before I flick the light off his voice startles me,
"Stay?" His hazel eyes looking up from the blanket stare into mine, his voice is low and croaky I nod my head, wondering why I did so, and make my way over to my bed. He shuffles over to the wall making room for me to lay.
"Ava-" He starts, "-I'm so fucking sorry. I'm a total douche bag. I still wonder why you took me in and-" I shush him, putting one of my fingers over his mouth. He understands and stops talking. His arms go around my waist and brings me closer to him, still having the slightest smell of alcohol on his body. He rests my head on his chest and brings his chin down onto my head.
We stay like that, silent, and fall asleep in each other's embrace.
