Days Gone By

Jenny sat alone in her tent, pulling her knees up to her chest as she cried into her jeans. Why me? What did I ever do to deserve this? She thought miserably, running a hand through her long auburn hair. She couldn’t take this anymore; the constant feeling of being watched, of being afraid and alone in this camp. How could she do this to her and get away with this? She had to tell someone; of course they would believe her over Lindsey.

But of course, this wasn’t just about her anymore.

She took a deep breath, drying her eyes as she quickly rose to her feet and walked out of the tent. She stormed past the campmates, ignoring the stares as she grabbed a nearby gun and hurried herself out of the camp. She didn’t want her family getting hurt by this, especially her baby... she had to get away from them. She had to.

What other choice did she have?

She marched through small forest, not daring to look back as she walked faster; tears beginning to trickle down her cheeks as she struggled to hold herself together. “Jenny!” A voice cried as rustling footsteps followed close behind. She quickly turned around, aiming the gun ahead of her only to find Billie standing close behind her. He raised his hands, his face sombre as she slowly lowered the gun; falling into his arms and bursting into tears. Billie held her close, wrapping his arms tightly around her slender body as he tried to calm her down. He hated seeing her like this. “Help me Billie” She whimpered, sobbing into his chest. “Jenny calm down” Billie whispered, holding her at arm’s length and shaking her by the shoulders. She didn’t listen, falling into a panic attack as she found herself unable to breathe; collapsing to the floor in a shaken mess. He quickly dropped to his knees, lighting hitting her face; shaken by what he was watching. He had never seen anybody look so afraid before, especially her.

She soon sat up, beginning to breathe slightly more normally. Billie held her close, feeling her rapid heartbeat against his black family guy shirt. “I don’t know what to do Bill... she’s... she’s crazy!”Jenny said frantically. Billie shushed her, gently stroking her hair. For a moment, he pictured her as his wife. He had dreamed of a moment like this ever since she died; holding her, kissing her, touching her just like he used to. Had circumstances of been different, had she have never been with Levi, he might of lent in to kiss her.

They sat there for a while until Jenny had fully calmed down. In his arms, she finally felt safe. She didn’t mean to run off like, but she didn’t know where to go anymore. She couldn’t stay here, not after what happened. “Please tell me what’s wrong, you know I worry about you” He said soothingly. Jenny opened her mouth, to tell him everything. How she had no choice but to leave, the frightening choice she was being forced to make, but first... she had to tell him about the baby. He would never fully understand everything until he knew. “Billie, there’s something I need to tell you...” she said but was quickly cut off by the sound of arguing.

“Well what did you expect me to think?” Gerard cried, his hand pressed hard against his forehead as Frank stood calmly before him; a sneer slowly spreading on his face. “You really are an arrogant arsehole. No, as a matter of fact I don’t have HIV and don’t worry I have passed on any diseases to you.” He spat, turning on his heel as he began to walk away from him. He suddenly turned back, pushing his hair of his face and laughing half heartedly to himself. “And to think I actually thought you were different, your no different to the rest of them out there” Frank added softly, shaking his head as a thin smile slowly emerged on his face.

Gerard stepped towards him, reaching out to touch him on the arm when Frank swung at him; his fist punching him straight the face and knocking him back. He fell back against the sodden floor, a sharp pain soaring through his nose and head as he struck a nearby tree. "Ok, I deserved that" He said quietly as his fingers gingerly felt his nose, drawing them back to examine the small spots of blood which had quickly dripped from his throbbing face.

He looked up Frank, a warm smile spreading across his face. "What part of this is funny to you" Frank shouted, unable to hide the hurt in his eyes. He trusted this man, how could he think so less of him? Gerard stood up, wiping the blood that poured from his nose and stepped towards him. “I’m sorry Frank. I was being an arse. You know I care about you don’t you?”He replied softly, moving a dark strand of hair out of Frank's eyes as he gently cupped his face with his hand. Frank's heart skipped a beat as his eyes locked with Gerard's. He couldn't deny it anymore; He had finally moved on. The man who had died all those years ago, and left him feeling empty and without meaning would always be the one he fell in love with. But now, as he stood here in the small forest just beside their camp, he realised that he truly did care for Gerard... perhaps even love him too.

Frank pressed his lips against his as he slipped his arms around Gerard's tiny waist. "I love you Frankie" Gerard whispered, kissing him on the forehead as he hugged him tightly.

He opened his mouth to speak, wanting to say the four words that he desperately wanted to say for so long now. But then he remembered. He remembered that, no matter how much he felt for this man, he would never truly be his. “No you don’t” He replied quietly, each word tearing at his heart as he pulled away from him. “Frank it’s you that I want, ever since I met you, your all I can ever think about” Gerard protested, his face pained with hurt as he tried to take hold of Frank’s hands. He slowly pulled his hands away from him, turning away as he sighed heavily to himself. “And what about Lindsey? What about the baby? They need you more than me” He said broken heartedly as he walked back to camp, failing to see the shocked faces of Billie and Jenny as he passed them by.
