You're Never Just A 'Nobody'

My first night back in Australia was lovely. My family was extremely welcoming and so were some of my friends I hadn't seen in years. It felt really nice.
But that didn't last long.. as soon as we were all back at work I felt completely alone.
I wanted Gerard to be with me. I missed sleeping beside him, having his around me, kissing me. I missed absolutely everything about him, and I couldn't help but think if he felt the same.

'Call me when you've sorted your head out'

His words wonder around in my head. Have I sorted it out yet? Was I over reacting?
I ignored every thought and got back to work.
FUCK.
Even the smell of fucking coffee reminded me of him, why the fuck?

"Yo, Ava. You al'right?" My co-worker, William asked me. He'd been the only friend id made here in the past 2 weeks iv started the job. He was kind, short curly blonde hair and deep dark brown eyes, 6 foot maybe.
He was always looking out for me, always complimenting me on my artwork that hung up around the place. I had made some money on selling them to customers who were interested which meant we had to re stock some. But I wasn't complaining.

"Yeah, I'm good Will, just a little tired." I replied, not a complete lie. He just nodded and we continued making coffee, serving and cleaning.

After I had finished work, I made my way back home and went directly to my bedroom, falling onto the sheets. My head was racing thoughts of Gerard, I couldn't take it, it's been two weeks and im pretty sure Iv sorted my head out. I dialed his number into my phone,

"Hello?" His voice made it's way through the phone,

"Gee, it's me, Ava. I'm so sorry I was being a total idiot. We can work this out, I promise."

"No Ava, you were right" His words made my heart sink.

"Gerard, no please you were right. Things will work out, I'll be back over there in a bit over a month and we can go back to being us," I reply, my voice shaking.

"Ava, oh, umm it's not a good time"

"Gerard, are you w-with someone?" I stuttered.

"Hi Avalon!" A females voice faintly passed through, but loud enough for me to hear it,

Serenity.

"Really Gerard?! Iv been gone for 2 weeks!" I exclaimed, anger washing over me,

"You said it was over!"

"And you got over it in two weeks?! You didn't even give us time to talk about it!" My voice was pure disgust.

"Goodbye Avalon." And with that he hung up. I broke down in tears, realizing iv ruined everything between Gerard and I.

--------------- Gerard's P.O.V. ----------------

I hung up and tossed my phone back on the coffee table. I looked at everyone in my apartment. Ray, Mikey, Frank, Maggie and our new band memeber, Bob. They all sat there staring at Serenity and I, disappointed and hatered across their faces,

"Why'd you say hello to her?! You know their in a rough time why can't you just fucking leave Gerard alone to fed for himself?" Frank asked, scowling at Serenity.

"Shhh, Frank don't say that" Maggie rubbed his shoulder, calming him down or at least tempting to.

"She's a snake babe, a sneaky fucking slut." He spat, making sure she could hear him.

"I'm sorry, I did hear that Gerard and Ava were walking on egg shells so I came over to make sure he was all right" Serenity replied, snuggling into my arm. I pushed her off of me.

"I'm fine" I growled, rolling my eyes.
"You can fuck off now." I told her.

"But Gee, we can still be friends." The way she calls me 'Gee' isn't the same to when Ava does. She makes me despise my own nickname.

"Don't make me toss you out again, just piss off." Frank demanded. Serenity's jaw dropped open, she was going to object with him, but decided just to leave and slamming the door behind her.

"Why can't you just accept Ava's apology and get back together again. You look like shit Gerard." Ray said. Everyone looked at me again, hope in their eyes.

"I don't know.. She needs to focus on her career and I need to focus on mine. She can't do that unless she has a job here and an American visa." I replied. "I also kept telling her that things would work out, but how will they? I have no opportunities in Australia."

"Are you serious?! That's it?! You guys were like, couple of the century! Are you really going to throw it away, AGAIN?!" Maggie's voice rung out in alarm.

"Yeah... I know." I sighed.

"I think you two are both confused." She started, "If you guys can't work it out now, it's gonna be left for too long and you're going to loose each other, for good." Everyone nodded I. agreement, I couldn't help but nod too.

Later that night I called Ava back, we discussed about us and our careers. She was telling me about how people had bought some of her artwork, and how she had someone displaying some of her work in art galleries and I couldn't help but feel proud for her. I told her that I had been working for Cartoon Network, drawing comics.

We talked about our relationship, where we wanted to go in the future. We decided on focussing on ourselves and see where we go, but i both knew what we wanted.

We wanted eachother.
But Ava had left the U.S, and because of that we couldn't be together.

But we both knew it was temporary.
