Demoralized Prey

Song of the Chapter: 7 Nation Army -White Stripes


I slowly opened the door. Gerard stood up from leaning against the door frame.

"You okay?" He flashed a small smile.

"Yeah. I'm okay." I looked subconciously around the room. "Where's your mom? She wanted me to come see her after I finished."

He nodded his head to the bedroom door. "She's down in the kitchen."

"K."

I started heading to the staircase and he followed behind. However, he didn't go downstairs with me. He just kept walking until he got to his bedroom. He closed the door as I decended down the steps.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Way was fussing about muttering somethings to herself. Like mother, like son. Well, oldest son. Mikey wasn't really like that, he was more reserved. He reminded me of a way nicer, older, dude version of Wednesday Addams. I don't know why. He, just, does!
I cleared my throat as a way of trying to get Mrs.Way's attention. She turned around quickly and froze for a moment before realizing why I'd come.

"Oh yes, right. Uh, here Frank sweetheart, take these and wash them down with the water." She handed me two small tablets.

"What are they?" I questioned taking them from her.

"Oh, they're just some Advil. They'll help relieve your physical pain and make it easier to move around." She smiled sincerely. Though I could see that she was clearly stressed out.

I walked over to the cabinet and removed a glass. I filled it with some cool water and popped the two pain relievers in my mouth. They were tastless and easy to swallow. Thank God that I could still swallow things. After what happened earlier this weekend, I just wanted to cut my throat out, I didn't know if it would ever recover. I cringed mentally as the images and 'feelings' started swarming in.

Placing the glass back in the sink seemed a bit rude and awkward, considering there were no other dishes waiting to be cleaned. So I turned the tap back on and quickly washed it. Mrs. Way saw me and reached over to my arm.

"Frank honey, you don't need to do that. You should just go upstairs and try to et some shut eye."

It was already clean by that point so I just shrugged. "It's fine. I'm sure five extra seconds won't kill me." I mentally wished that it could.

She smiled and thanked me.

I headed back up the steps after saying goodnight to her. I could already feel the sleep waves coming for me. Ready to take me under and drown me, only to let my body and soul float back the surface. Then the sunlight would come looking for me and eventully resucitate my still beat heart.

When I got to the platform that extended out to Gerard's bedroom, I kncoked slowly on his door. He let out a quiet "come in" and I entred the room. I closed the door behind me. I walked over and reluctantly climbed under the sheets beside him. He rolled over and looked at me. I looked back at him. For some reason I couldn't break away from it. I just lay there. Staring back into his eyes. The same eyes I used to love. Long ago.
