so Long and Good Night [Part 2]
Blurred lights
"So long and good night" he whispered as the black van disappeared into the distance.
*2 days earlier*
Gerard franticly shuffled the clothes on the rack in his closet. He pulled out a red and white collared button down shirt. Gerard scrunched his face up and pondered the garment. Eventually deciding it just wouldn't do, he threw it to the ground and began franticly digging through his closet some more.
"Gerard, Helena's here" his mom called from down stairs.
"coming!" he yelled. Gerard ran down the stairs while pulling his arms through a brown leather jacket. Helena was standing near the door in a black and white floral dress that was tied at the waist with a thick, black ribbon.
"Hey Gerard!" Helena said. She gave him a big smile and Gerard went to her and hugged her tight. When they released each other Gerard asked,
"Are you ready?"
"Yup!" she said holding out her small hand to him.
"All right. where to take the birthday girl...hmmmm." he said in a sarcastic tone. Helena giggled and ducked into the car as Gerard held open the door for her.
"You still hav'nt told me where were going yet."
"I got us reservations for that crappy sushi restraunt you like "he looked over and smiled at her and Helena punched him in the shoulder jokingly.
"Hey, i told you i didn't want anything special for my birthday. But you insisted that you take me to dinner."
"That is true, but the best deserve the best."
Helena smiled at him. He loved her smile and her silly personality. He also loved how she played with him. They would sit on the couch for hours criticizing each other and laughing about the outrageous comment that they had come up with.
Gerard turned the wheel of the car and pulled it smoothly into a parking spot infront of the restraunt. The wheel twisted itself back into it's place, sliding swiftly through his hands. Helena pushed open the car door and swung her feet out of the car. Gerard grabbed the door and pulled it closed, making shure she got her feet back in first.
"Today is your birthday and you are my girlfiend, and i will open that dam door for you weather you like it or not." he said lifting himself out of his seat. He walked over to the passenger side and opened the door for Helena. She had her arms crossed and was giving him a big, pink pouty lip.
"Why do you have to be such a gentlemen?" she asked taking his outstretched hand and raising her self out of the car.He rolled his eyes at her and still holding her hand, they walked inside the restraunt. A waiteress in a black vest and black khakis walked them to their small booth in the corner and handed them their menus. The restraunt had dimmed golden lights that gave everything a orangy red hue.
"Can i get you two anything to drink?" the waitress asked, flashing them the same smile every waiter gives you.
"i'll have a water please." said Helena.
"Ok. and you sir?"
"Do you guys have chocolate milk?" The waitress looked at him puzzled and passed her note book to her left hand.
"Yes.... we do. I'll get your drinks right out to you guys."
"Ok. Thanks" Gerard added as she left. Helena had her elbows on the table and her hands clasped together holding her head up. When she brought her head up she was laughing and wiping the tears from her bright,green eyes.
"What! Just 'cause were at a fancy restraunt doesn't mean I can't have chocolate milk!" he said adding a sassy head shake for dramatic affect. Helena smootheed her wavy, black hair back into place, "Gee, you'r fine. This is why i love you!" she exclaimed , still giggling a little.Gerard blushed and smiled back at her from across the table.
"Here's your drink sir." The waitress said handing Gerard a mini, brown and white carton of milk and a bendy straw.
"And your drink ma'am." The waitress left leaving Helena to laugh some more at Gerard who was blushing agian.
"I think my sushi just blinked at me." Gerard said bluntly.
"well duh!. thats what you get when you order it raw. " She said smiling back at him."Here.Try Mine. It's cooked." Gerard picked up the floppy, pink bundle and popped it into his mouth.
"Not bad." he said
"Here." Helena said placing another diffrient piece of sushi on his creame, white plate."Try this one." He put it in his mouth and stopped to Helena a glance. He made a twisted face and quickly swallowed it.
"What the hell was that?" Gerard said still choking on the taste.
"A wasabi rice ball." she said, acting like nothing had happened. Gerard snatched Helena's drink and started chuggung it.
The waitress brought the bill and Gerard filled out the reciept and gave the waitress a tip.
"Ready to go?" He asked Helena.
"Ya." she sighed, sliding out of the booth and into Gerards arms. He rapped his arms around her waist and she burried her head under his chin. She looked up and smiled at Gerard, who was still holding her around the waist, not wanting to ever let her go. He eventualy released her and they left the restraunt together. Gerards leather dress shoes made small clicks as he walked over to open the door for Helena. They drove out of the parking lot into New Yorks Lit up skyline. The car made a smooth, constant noise that silenced the car.
"Thanks for takeing me out for dinner." Helena said breaking the death like silence.
"My pleasure." he said adding one of his priceless, stomach fluttering smiles."I enjoyed it. Thanks for joining me." Gerard looked over at her and she looked over at him. A car suddenly emerged from behind them making a sharp left into their lane. Gerard tensed up and slammed his foot onto the brakes and the car rammed into the back of the other car. Glass shattered and lights blurred and whirled as the car rolled across the highway, landing upside down on the shoulder of the road. Adrenaline rushed through Gerards panicked mind. He Pulled himself over to the passangers seat where Helena lay sideways across the chair. Her head lay on the consel and part of her arm was sprawled out of the shattered wind shield. Her body was covered in cuts and bruises that were already starting to turn purple. Blood leaked out of cuts on her arm and dripped from a deep gauge on her forehead. Her emerald green eyes where wide open and larger than the moon. But also frozen.
"Helena?...." Gerard asked his voice shaking along with the rest of his body.
He grabbed her hand and held onto it tight with both hands laced into her fingers.
"Helena?..." he tried agian.He began to sob and he screamed from the pain he felt aching in his heart. He pounded the seat with his fist and moaned while a steady stream of tears poured down his mortafied face. Gerard burried his head in her tangled black hair. Sirens blarred in the distance but he noticed nothing other than the body of his love. Everything blurred. Nothing was clear. Gerard had a long cut under his eye that ran all the way down to his jawbone. His tears mixed with the blood and stained his face with red streaks.
The sirens began to get louder and he began to panic even more.The sirens stopped growing louder and remained steady as the ambulance pulled next to the mangled vehicle. Paramedics burst from the car and ran to Gerard. The paramedic pried open the door and grabbed Gerard by the waist, trying to pull him out of the car.
"NO!NO!NO!" he yelled, refusing to let go of Helenas hand. Blood and glass lay scattered all over the seats and the floor of the car. The paramedic tugged Gerard out of the car and towards the ambulance.
"HELENA! HELENA! HELENA!" he yelled bewteen choked sobs. His stringy black hair stuck to his forehead and clumped together with blood.
"Sir, stop!!" the paramedci yelled. Gerard was fighting his grip trying to get back to Helena, who was still laying stiff in the beat up vehicle. Gerard stopped resisting the mans force and his knees began to buckle. Everything spun and he couldn't tell the diffrence bewteen up and down.
"I NEED BACK UP!!!" the man yelled." WE'RE LOSIN' HIM!!!!". another man rushed over and helped carry Gerard into the back of the wailing ambulance. "HE'S LOST TOO MUCH BLOOD!!" the other yelled. Gerards eyelids fluttered as they laid him down on the stretcher.
"Helena..." he whispered horsely as he stretched his arm out towards the car. His eyelids closed as his arm held for a few seconds then went limp and dangled of the bleach, white stretcher.
