Hold Me Tight

A girl?! Gerard was shocked. He'd expected hard core rock men not hard core rock women. But the lead singer was pretty hot though. She stood in the centre of the stage a gothic angel.

She began to sing and the whole bar was silent as if in a trance. She sang the words:

You built me up so tall
Then you were the one who caused me to fall
You said that we were only friends?
But you healed me up you helped me mend
And then you go
You go and go and tear me apart my soul and I know
That you are hers and not mine
You need to SAVE ME
BECAUSE I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME
I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME
We're running out of time

She sang with the emotion and finality of someone who had experienced a lot.

When the bands set had done everyone was buzzing.

"They were great!" Gerard exclaimed.

"Bet you're glad you came? Huh!" Mikey smirked. Gerard replied to this by bursting into laughter as the burly man from before came back over to Mikey.

"Let's go." Ray murmured to Gerard and they made their way to the main bar. Him and Ray stood rather awkwardly taking in the surroundings when two familiar looking goth chicks made their way towards them. It was the gothic angel from the band and the main guitarist. They both came over with huge grins on their face and the main singer launched herself at Ray who chuckled happily as she fell in his arms.

Gerard couldn't help feeling jealous.

"So did you like the show??" She asked Ray with a strong English accent.

"It was great!" He said spinning her and making her squeal.

The other girl and Gerard stood there awkwardly then Ray suddenly remembered Gerard's existence.

"Dinah, this is Gerard." He said motioning.

She looked him up and down then smiled and leaned close to him. "Nice eyeliner." She smirked.

"Same to you." He replied. They stood there smiling at each other then the other girl coughed behind Dinah.

"Oh! This is Dorrit!" She announced shoving the other girl forward.

"Umm hi." Dorrit said pushing her short red hair back nervously.

"Gee?!" Mikey asked. He had anger in his voice. "Gee I've just been chatted up by this guy and I want to leave." He bellowed. He stopped short when he saw the girls. "Hi." He said bringing up his hand in a small wave.

"Nice skirt." Dorrit said giggling behind her hair.

"Dinah?!" Someone called out from the crowd. Dinah's eyes grew wide and she grasped Gerard's hand. She pulled him close and whispered in his ear.

"The world is after me, after you." Her lips tickled his ear.

"What?" He whispered back. But she just pulled him away from the crowd shouting.

"Run away, like it was yesterday." She led him out of a side door and into the night.

"What are we doing here?" He asked. Damn she was pretty and also kind of crazy.

"Hiding." She whispered. And she lay her head on his shoulder.

"How do you know Ray?" He questioned.

"He's one of my best friends." She said smiling fondly.

This made Gerard happy. He didn't know if her and Ray were dating and to find out they weren't, put him on top of the world. He began to play with her fingers intertwining hers with his they played a sort of tug of war until a man with a dark hair and even darker eyes came out.

"Dinah!" He exclaimed. "There you are! I've been looking everywhere."

"Frank!" She squealed her eyes lighting up like a million stars she pushed Gerard's hands away and ran the Frank. He enveloped her in a hug then they began passionately kissing.

Fuck. Gerard thought.
