Heaven Help Us

Explaining things to Gerard was going to be pretty hard. Considering he's a stubborn little brat who doesn't give up until he gets his way. I've learned this from the 14 years I've been watching over him.
Anyway, he's been pretty silent. I've been following him for the past 10 minutes and he hasn't said a word. All he does is stare at me, then he turns away and shakes his head.
"You got a problem?" I ask Gerard.
He looks up, his eyes shooting darts at me, "Yes, I do have a problem. Who the fuck are you and what the fuck do you want?"
I take in a deep breathe, "I don't think you're ready for the answers to those questions, Gerard."
He stops dead in his tracks. He looks up, his fists clenched. "I am too ready for the answered to those questions. Don't tell me what Im ready for, I am my own damn person."

"Im just trying to protect you." I shrug, "From ya know, the truth and everything. And from the demon that almost ripped your face off."
"Oh yeah," He sighs, "By the way....WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT-"
I rush over to him and clamp my hand over his mouth, "SHHHHHH! didn't I tell you to be quiet?"
He pull my hand off of him, "You may have mentioned it."
Gerard stares at me in silence, squinting his eyes and giving me that obnoxious look.
"Ya want something to look at?" I scold. I make my hands into fists and arch my back, letting my wings open up, "Then look at that!"
His eyes widen and he takes a step back. He obviously scared. I scowl at him and tuck my wings away, sticking mytongue out at him in the process.
He sighs sadly, "Please, Im really scared, I just want answers. Please?" He looks at me with those glowing eyes. I take a deep breathe and grab his wrist gently. He flinches from the contact but I don't respond to it, I know this boy too well.
I bring us to a brick wall and sit down on the dirt. I cross my legs as Gerard does the same, sitting across from me.
I inhale deeply, making eye contact with him, "You want the whole story?"
He nods, pushing back his black mop of hair.
"Okay," I begin, "I've been watching over you ever since you were a baby, because, well, Im a guardian angel. Or I was. I know pretty much everything about you, not in the creepy way. Like, I know that-that your uh parents left you and Mikey when you were younger . I know that you have a drug addiction and you uh, self harm." Gerard's eye widen as I continue, "Anyway, there is a heaven and there is a hell. There is no "God" but there is The Leader, who is sorta like God. Satan is real, so is Lucifer, they're two different people, or demons, or whatever. But, with my story, it's starts with me of course. I was one of the most beautiful angels in Heaven, like I had the biggest wings and they were the fastest and the most gorgeous. And I was assigned to watch over you, Gerard Arthur Way. I was excited, and you seemed....intriguing. Iknow your secrets Gerard, I know a lot of things about you. I've been looking after you for 15 years."
Gerard shakes his head, but tells me tell him more about myself, "Ok, so, Im a fallen angel. That's why my wings are black. Guardian Angels have white wings. Warrior angels have gray wings, like my friends Andy. And messengers have like bronze or some shit. Bu the reason I'm fallen is because I broke a rule, I fell in love."
"With who?" Gerard asks.
I shake my head, "Ah, nobody. It's not important. But the uh Leader found out and, uh wasn't too happy. He was disappointed in me, because I was his best. So, next thing I know, Im falling outta the sky and I have an army of freaking demons chasing after me."
"Oh." Gerard whisper, he shakes his head and stands up, "We should get going, my brother is waiting."
"Mikey?"
"Yeah," He smiles. Oh my god, a Way child actually smiled. "Lets go."
I stand up and smile at him softly. I think we're on better terms now that he has answers. But, to be honest, what I told him wasn't even half the story.
