Veronica's POV
I remember when I first started falling in love with Gerard Way. I remember it well, like it was yesterday. I never want to remember it, but I always do. I can't forget.

**Flash back to the past!**
I rolled out of bed and looked over at my alarm clock. It hadn't gone off and now it was 2:45pm. And I was late.
"Dammit!", I hissed as I quickly started to get dressed.
I had promised to meet Gerard and Mikey at their place at two. They wanted to talk to me about something, though I wasn't sure what is was. They were leaving to go to Warped Tour in two days, and I had wasted some of my last bit of time to see them before they left, sleeping. Sleeping. Oh God,sometimes I hate being an insomiac. Even with sleeping in until 2:45, I has still only gotten 4 hours of sleep. Yep, I has stayed up all night and partly into the morning. I had been studying for one of my college exams, but I was honestly beginning to consider dropping out of college. I was studying to become a photographer, but I was beginning to doutb that, that was what I really wanted to be. I honestly didn't want to be anything. I wasn't anything.
Once I was dressed and finished my make-up, I went to go take my Prozac. I take it for depression, but no one knew I had it at the time, other than my doctor and I. After taking my medication, I stared at the bottle for awhile and then finally just put the whole thing in my purse. By that point, I had already been taking double my recommended dose, but it never seemed to do much. If I OD, at least I won't have to worry about missing a day, I thought miserably to myself.
I grabbed a my cellphone off of my kitchen table, and I left. When I got to Gerard and Mikey's place, I didn't even bother knocking. I've known them since I was six, so knocking wasn't really nessisary. I walked down the hallway and saw that they were in the kitchen.
"Hey", I said smiling sheepishly, when they finally noticed me.
"You're late", Mikey said.
I just looked at him.
"Oh, that's for letting me know Mikey. I had no clue", I said dryly.
Mikey just grinned stupidly, happy that he had gotten under my skin.
"Why were you so late?", Gerard asked.
I sighed,
"I was studying. I didn't fall asleep 10am".
Gerard frowned.
"That means you only got like- four hours of sleep", he said.
"Yeah, I know... Hey, can I have some coffee?", I asked.
"Sure", Gerard said with a smile, and he went to go make some.
I sat down at the kitchen table beside Mikey.
"Hey, how much you gotta study just to be photographer?", he asked.
"Too much, if you ask me", I sighed.
I wondered if I should tell him that I was planning to drop out. I pondered on it for a second, and then I decided that there wasn't any harm in telling him. It was my life, afterall.
"You know, I'm thinking about dropping out", I said.
Mikey looked confused.
"But I thought you liked photography", he said.
"Well I did at first...Hey, just don't tell Gerard, okay? He really wanted me to do this", I said.
"Okay, I won't tell, but-", Mikey started to say but Gerard came back with my coffee and he stopped.
I gave him a quick smile as a thanks. I knew that Mikey wouldn't say anything. Gerard handed me my coffee and he sat down. Damn!, I thought to myself, He looks cute today!
Within the last few months, I had been really starting to like Gerard. I wasn't sure if he liked me back though, so I kept quiet about it.
"So how come you wanted me to come and see you guys?", I asked.
Then I paused for a minute.
"Not that I wouldn't of come over to bug you guys with out an invatation", I added.
Gerard and Mikey laughed.
"So you really wanna know why you're here?", Gerard asked.
I nodded my head impatiently. Gerard had a habit of dragging things out more than they need to be.
"Okay, I tell", Gerard said, "We want you to come to Warped Tour with us".
I smiled happily.
"Oh this is awesome! Are you guys sure, though?", I asked.
Gerard and Mikey nodded their heads.
"Yeah, I think it will be fun", Mikey said, "It will give you a bit of a break on your studying".
I shot him a bit of a look and laughed nervously.
"Haha, yep, it sure will".
Gerard didn't seem to think anything of what Mikey and I said. I was glad. I was pretty sure that he would kill me if he knew. Gerard had always admired that photos that I took and he was the first one to support me when I wanted to study for photography. I had always been so thankful for that because my parents weren't nearly as pleased as Gerard was. They wanted me to become a lawyer or something 'useful', as they put it. I didn't want to dissapoint Gerard by dropping out.
I stood up and gave them both a hug.
"Thanks for inviting me guys, I really would love to come along", I said happily.
Gerard and Mikey smiled.
"No problem", they both said at the same time.
I laughed. I always found it funny how insync they were with eachother. I've never met brothers as close as them. I looked down at my watch and sighed.
"Look guys, I gotta go now. I'll see you guys tomorrow", I said and I walked down the hall way and out the door.
I was thrilled. I got to go in tour with my best friends. The only problem was- I wanted Gerard to be more than a friend.
