Drinking By The Mausoleum Door

Gerard's P.O.V

Time Lapse>>>>>>>>>>

Two hours later.

I smiled at Mysty as she sat on my couch. She was all patched up and wearing a black ADTR band t-shirt and black joggers. "Would you like to watch TV or get some sleep?"
She pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged them. She stared at me.
"Sleep?" I ask.
She nods agreement. So sleep it is.
"You can sleep in my bed. I'll sleep on the couch. That okay?"
She nods again.
I hold out my hand and after a few minutes, she takes it. She stands up and lets me lead her to my bedroom. I let go of her hand and grab a pillow and cover from the closet. When I turn back, she's just standing there, hugging her chest and staring at the floor. What happened to this woman? She looks so broken. I'm making it my mission to fix her.
I smile at her again. "It's okay. Climb in the bed. I won't disturb you." I head out the door. When I turn in the doorway, she's not moved. I sigh then head to the couch. I set it up then kick off my shoes. I get under the cover and soon drift off to sleep.

Mysty's P.O.V

I don't know what to do any more. Life used to be so great. I had my mum.My Dad. My little brother.My little sisters. My dog. My job. My life. Now I have nothing. My family....I miss them so much. I drop to the floor and hug my legs to my chest. I cry for them. I put my forward on my knees and cry for my old life.

Gerard's P.O.V

I wake to the sound of quiet sobbing. Mysty? I pull the cover off and head towards the bedroom. The doors still open so I peek in to see Mysty sitting on the floor, crying. I walk over quietly and kneel down on the floor beside her. I place a hand on her shoulder and she recoils. Her crying changed to a whimper as she stared at me wide eyed.
"It's okay." I sooth as I hold my hands up. "It's me, Gerard."
She stays as she is for a couple of minutes, then throws herself into my arms. I hug her and rub her back. "It's okay. I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt you. I promise."
We stay like for about twenty minutes. Then I decided to break the silence. "You should get some sleep." I stand up, bringing her with me. "Come on, sweetie. If you get in the bed, I'll tuck you in then bring you a coffee." She lets me lead her to the bed. I help her climb in then tuck her in. I straighten up to leave but she grabs my arm. I look down at her. She looks scared.
"It's okay." I mutter. "I'm just going to make us a coffee." She shakes her head.
"You don't want a drink?"
She shakes her head.
"Okay so I'll go and leave you to sleep."I try to go again, but she stops me again. Her eyes are pleading with me.
"Do you want me to stay in here?"
She nods agreement.
"Okay I'll get my cover and pillow and sleep on the floor here."
She shakes her head.
"Not the floor?"
She nods.
"The bed?"
She nods agreement.
So she wants me to sleep on the bed? Okay. I grab another cover from the closet and lay on top of the covers on the bed then covered myself with the spare. Mysty grabbed my shirt and rested her head on my arm. After a few minutes, she fell asleep.
