When I was ten, I hit a rock on my first ride on my brand new bike. The bike had purple glitter decorating the bars and a flashing light at the back. The handle bars were covered in tiny puppies, while the wheels held rainbow coloured beads. This “every girls dream” bike was the best thing, and shortest thing to happen to me. I hit this rock and rolled down a hill, hitting my head on a rock. Luckily I had a helmet on. But the pain I felt, at the time, was the worst I have ever felt. Now it’s just a flick on the arm. The pain I feel now is much worse.

My thoughts cascaded to the rain rushing down outside. I had found a spot in the corner of the shop to be alone, counting the seconds as they passed. My fingers knotted the loose strings on my jumper, creating holes as they went. As to the outside, nothing happened but rain creating puddles. The street was block off by a towering red brick wall to an unknown area. Every now and again, a light flickered on in one of rooms in the houses across the deserted road. After counting every window, every car and every puddle, I was bored. Gerard refused to let us go back to the hotel or even leave. Probably to do with another fucked up secret. So we’ve been cooped up like chickens.

“Here you go Jade” Mikey quietly said, handing me a cup of tea. I sipped carefully at the warm liquid, watching Mikey out of the corner of my eyes. He looked tired and miserable. Lonely like me.
“Why don’t you sit down with me Mikey?” I offered. He shook his head before walking down one of the aisle to the back of the store. I watched him closely as he disappeared into the depth of the shop.

“Jade, can I speak to you?” a voice questioned, making me jump. I looked up to see an even more tired Way brother. I place the cup on the window and stood up, still fiddling with my jumper.
“Sure.”
“You need to choose. I can’t tell you anything yet about everything that has gone on and will happen.”
“Really? I want an answer Gerard!” I said, raising my voice. I scratched my head, letting him continue.
“I know Jade, but I’m in some deep shit but I promise that I will get Tilly back for you. But you can’t have both me and Tilly.” He paused before looking down at my hands, “I love you Jade.” I laughed at his response. He looked me in the eye, grabbing my hands.
“I love you Jade. You might not anymore but I still do. One day this will all make sense. I promise.”

I looked at Mikey to find him as equally confused. We were standing in the attic of the shop where Gerard had led us. Yet it didn’t look like an attic. It was illuminated by blue lights from every direction. The walls were aligned with multiple computers showing different things. On one wall, there was a massive map of New York with red pointers dotted around everywhere. A huge on the hotel. He knew we were there. I stepped into the light as my eyes looked around the room. It looked like another time, another dimension.

“Don’t touch anything,” Gerard called out from the end of the room. His back was to us, concealing his face. He closed what looked like a briefcase and turned to us. My eyes couldn’t but help to look at his thin body. He was slightly leaning on the desk, with one hand being used as support. His slightly greasy hair fell over his eyes that were half hidden. My eyes continued down to his body where his legs were perfectly shaped by the pair of black skinny jeans he wore. As for the rest of his body, he was in all black. Just like he always is. Stop it Jade, you don’t love this man anymore. Do you? He pushed off the desk with his hand and made his way to the map.

“From what I’ve found out, Tilly is in our old home Mikes. It must have been a recent move because I only went there two weeks ago. Still abandoned as ever.”
“But where there?” Mikey asked as he walked to my side.
“I can’t say” Gerard replied, sticking another pointer on the map.
“Why? Why can’t you tell us?” Mikey said, raising his voice, getting agitated. Gerard slammed his fist down on the table next to him. His pale face was once against concealed by the shadows, making it impossible to see his expression.
“Because no-one is meant to know I’m alive!” He screamed, turning around, “If I told you the fucking truth, you will all be dead and I love you too much to let that happen!” He put his head in his hand before storming across the room. A small mutter came from his mouth as he started pressing keys on one of the computers. His hand pushed into a fist as he tried to control his fierce aggression. After a few more seconds, a series of clicking sounds started going off behind me and Mikey. We both slowly turned around to find the map lifting up.

“Don’t ask” Gerard muttered as he pushed past us. He pushed the map up more to reveal as whole wall of guns. Every weapon known to man seemed to be on the wall. I heard a whispered woah from Mikey as Gerard started taking guns out.
“We’re going to need these if we are going to save Tilly” Gerard said as he past me a bullet proof vest. “We want to get it right.” He then started handing both Mikey and me various different guns that I have no clue how to use. I wrapped my fingers around a small hand gun causing adrenaline to pump through my veins. I put the gun in my waistband and walked towards the door way to prepare myself.

“Jade, can to talk to you again?” Gerard asked. Without me replying, he pulled me into the hallway. “Here” he said once we were out of Mikey hearing distance. He pushed a file into my hands. It was thick and heavy. I looked at him confused.
“Don’t look at it until you’re alone. Keep it safe. It’s important to your past and future. You might not ever want to speak to me after but it’s the best I can do to give you an answer.” He looked me in my eyes before placing his lips on my cheek. I closed my eyes as his lips lingered. I kept them closed as he let go and brushed past me.
