I'm Okay Now

Gerard's pov
Kate fell asleep in my arms and I enjoyed having her so close to me for such a long time. I found it adorable the way her brown hair could become such a mess so quickly but it only made her even more adorable. I smiled to myself just thinking about her and knowing that she's mine. God she was beautiful. I don't think I ever came across a women who I found more attractive then her, and I don't think it is possible to. I noticed that she was starting to twitch in her sleep.
"Kate, are you okay?" I got no answer. Well of course, she was asleep dumbass.
"Katerine!" I said alittle bit louder, loving the way her real name felt on my lips, but it dident wake her up. I nugged her a couple of times but nothing worked. Untill her own scream sent her reeling out of her nightmare and back to me. It was loud enough to wake up the neighbors next store and I can still hear the ringing in my ears.
"Shhh Kate, it's okay. It's just a dream" I told her as I held her in my arms. Her tear stained eyes where pressed against my shoulder as she continued to cry. "It's okay, I got you" I said once more, pressing her tighter against me which I could tell made her feel more safe. All of a sudden the bedroom door open and in stepped in a sleepy Mikey followed by Alecia.
"Dude what the fuck happened!?" He asked, clearly as worried as I was. I continued to cradle my crying girlfriend in my arms as the pace of her tears slowed. "Well is she okay? It sounded like someone was murdering her"
"He was" Katy muttered in between sobs that only I could hear.
"Who was?" I questioned, continuing to stoke her hair.
"Ian"
"Honey, who's Ian" I asked.
"My abusive ex" I paused for a second taking in all of her words. First she was being abused by her dad and then it was her ex boyfriend. Could her life get any worse. I feel bad knowing all that she has been threw. She's such a sweet girl and yet anyone who got close to her took that to an advantage. I honestly have no idea why anyone would have any intention to hurt her.
"It's okay. He's gone now" I told her, hoping I could calm her down or at least stop her from crying I hate seeing her like this. So hurt, it's crushes me knowing that I'm not able to just snapp my fingers and make all the pain go away. I'd do anything for that.
"No he's not. He said this won't be the last id see him"
"I'll protect you"
"Gee, I love you but there is only so much you can do"
"And I'll do whatever it takes" I said, stroking her tangled brown hair.
"Awe cuties!" Alecia squealed as if we where her otp. Mikey and ali joined us on the bed and we all had a big group hug trying to settle her down.
It took us alittle while for us to stop her from crying but when she did I asked Mikey and ali to excuse us.
"Are you ready to talk about it now?" I asked as I brushed the last tear off of her cheek.
"D-do I h-have to?" She asked still alittle shaky from her nightmare as her post crying eyes looked into mine.
"I'm not forcing you to. But I think it will help"
"Okay. It started back then I was about fifteen. I-i met this guy who was really sweet and he seemed really nice. S-so when he asked me out I thought, why not? You know I was fifteen and I was obsessed with the idea of love. At first he was really kind but then he started to get a little rough." She paused for a minute and started to cry some more.
"Can you explain?"
"he would pull on my arm. Hard. if I didn't follow him around. He also told me that no one will love me other then him. And that I-i was lucky to have him because no one els loves me. He also talked to me about suicide and how it was a good idea. And that I should try it with him. Things started to get worse when he asked me to- you know- umm"
"Yea I understand"
"Well I told him I wasn't ready and he just got s-so mad. He raped me, Gerard. So many times. It happened so many t-times I lost count. He was so rough and it hurt so much. I was so young and so confused" by now she was crying helplessly into my chest and clinging onto me as if I was her life source. I had no idea how to help her, I can't even imagine what she has been threw to even understand her life. First she had her mom die at a young age, then she got an abusive father that raped her, and now an abusive ex boyfriend that raped her many times. I continued to hold her crying body in my arms as she continued to sob as I felt her warm tears against my body. I have no idea how I will ever be able to fix Katerine but I will try as hard as I can. She has so much of her dark past clinging onto her it's going to be impossible to make her forget all the bad things that has ever happened to her.
"Kate. Why didn't you get help" I asked. I knew she would not want to answer but I needed to understand things from her perspective.
"H-he said if I told anyone he would h-hurt me more. After a w-while I figured enough was enough and I called the c-cops. They put him in jail but he said that wouldn't be the last time I saw h-him" my mind flew crazy at this point. I was full of hate, and pain. It hurt me knowing what she has been threw, I can't even imagine what it feel like to be her. It felt like my whole body was on fire and it was hard for me to keep in all the anger but the last thing I would want to do is to scare her even more.
*****
*monday. Katy's pov**
As soon as I hear my alarm go off I let out a loud morning yawn. I continue to lie in bed letting my body adjust to awaking before dragging myself out of my warm soft bed that made me feel guilty for leaving it so soon. Once I threw on a tee shirt and leggings, I make my way downstairs and was greeted my Mikey.
"Hey Katy cat! Good morning!"
"Good morning too you too" just as I was about to pull him into our usuall morning hug the front door opened.
"Hey Mikey? Kate?" I i sentry knew who to was, their was only one person I knew who had a voice that high.
"Hey ali!" Mikey cheered as he pulled her in for a kiss. The way he looked at her could make anyone's heart grow warm.
"So I was thinking I could give you and Kate a ride to school"
"Umm sure!" He beamed with excitement.
I thought it was really sweet that she would think of us like that. Even though it's only a 15 minute walk to school, we where still of her mind and something about that made me smile.
"Well come on slow pokes" she joked. I quickly grabbed a bagel and followed Mikey and Alicia out the door.
