Home Is Where The Heart Is

Gerard's P.O.V I woke up to mum shouting me. I turned to see Kat....gone. I frowned. She probably thinks I'm a freak and changed her mind. Gone back to her own room. I'm not surprised really. I'm just changing into black skinny jeans, a black rolling stones t-shirt and black converse when Mikey barges in. "Kat's vanished." Mikey said. Panic in his voice. I smirked into the mirror as I fixed my hair. "No." I said. "She's probably just gone back to her room. Had enough of this fucking face." Mikey turned me to face him. "No, Dad heard a scream out back. Now Kat's missing. We've checked the house. Dad's checking the area. Mum's been next door. Nothing. No one's seen her." Oh god. No. I could already feel my blood boiling. I have to fight it. Keep calm for Kat. "Have you called the police?" I asked with all the calm I could muster. "I phoned them a few minutes ago." Mikey answered. "They're on the way." I closed my eyes. It didn't help. All I could see is Kat's face. Ben licking it. My eyes flew open. "Jake Aston, Ben Saunders and Vincent Forester." I snapped. "We need to find them. They could have her." I grabbed my phone and keys off my night stand, then pushed past Mikey. I ran at top speed to my car. Mikey ran after me. But I jumped in the car, started it and was out the drive, heading towards Jakes house. All before Mikey could even get out the door. Jake answered the door. I grabbed him by his shirt and held him against the wall. His Mum rushed out trying to help him. "What have you done with her?" I snapped. "Who?" Jake said, shaking. "Let him go." His Mum pleaded. I look at her, my face softening slightly. It's not her fault her sons a arsehole. "Jake and his two mates had a run in with me and my girlfriend yesterday at the cinema." I told her. "It's not enough that they beat me up on a regular basis at school. They had to try beating me when I was on a date. I don't usually fight back because I know what'll happen. But they threatened my girlfriend. Now she's missing." I looked back at Jake. His Mum went still. She turned angry eyes on Jake. "If you know where she is, you better tell him now, young man." She snapped. "And you are definitely not getting away with how you've treated this boy. I'm so ashamed of you." Jake looked scared. "I swear I don't know." He muttered. "I'm sorry, for everything. I'll call the guys. We'll help you find her. I promise. Just...please...don't hurt me." I looked in his eyes. He was being honest. I let him go and backed up as he pulled out his phone. His Mum put a hand on my arm. "We'll find her, son." She said. "I'll drive round with the boys. If we find her, we'll bring her home to you." I gave her a sad, fake smile. My blood is still boiling. The only thing stopping me from snapping was the thought of Kat. "Thank you." "What happened to your hands, dear?" Mrs Aston looked shocked. "Please tell me it wasn't Jake." I shook my head."It wasn't." I said. "It was all my own fault. That's why I don't fight back." She looked concerned. "The guys will be here in five minutes." Jake stated. I looked over at him. I still wanted to punch him. "I am sorry though." Jake said with a sad smile. "But we would never hurt a girl. That's not our thing." "Why me?" I asked. "Of all the people at that school, why me?" Jake sighed. "Easy target." He admitted. "You didn't fight back. So we could do whatever we wanted to you. It's a stupid power thing. I am sorry though. It won't happen again." "I couldn't fight back." I said. "I moved here because I fought back. The last bully hurt my brother. I lost it. It took four teachers to pull me off him. He had to have over twenty stitches in his nose. After that, any time I get mad, I...." I trailed off as I showed him my bandaged hands. "So you'd rather hurt yourself?" Jake asked, wide eyed. "Yep." I said, dropping my hands. A car pulled up so I turned round. A guy with a dark fro, a strawberry blond guy and a dark haired guy got out, followed by Mikey. "They got her?" Mikey asked. "I brought Ray, Bob and Frank to help find her." I shook my head. "They're gonna drive round with Jakes Mum to look." "You okay, Gerard?" Bob, the blond guy, asked. "Thought me, Bob and Ray would have to restrain you by now."Frank, the dark haired guy, said gesturing to Bob and Ray, the guy with the fro. I knew I was far from calm. But I refuse to take it out on them. I'm saving it for the bastard who has my Kat. "I'm not okay." I admitted. "But I need to let off some of this rage now before I do end up needing the restraint." Mikey walked over to stop infront of me. "I guess singings not gonna help this time then." I gave him a dry laugh. "Definitely not." Mum stayed at home. Incase Kat got back. The rest of us searched everywhere. No sign. That night I spent in the abandoned warehouse. Not punching the door this time. I was kicking it. All the time I was racking my brains for anything Kat might have said. A name. A place. Anything. All the kicking eventually broke my big toe. So this time, when Dad found me, I ended up visiting the hospital. I definitely had a broken toe. The next day we repeated the search. Different places this time. Still nothing.The police weren't having much luck either. That night I sat at my desk, staring at the stars. I hadn't slept, or eaten since the night of the cinema. Everyone tried to make me eat and sleep. Even Bob, Ray and Frank, seem as they were sleeping at my house right now. But I refused. I'll eat when Kat's back in my arms. The next day, Mikey came into my room. He hugged me from behind as I stared out of the window. He tried talking to me. But I couldn't hear him. My blood had past boiling point, if that's even possible. I really wanted to kill someone. I'm no murderer. But I was so unbelievably angry. Mikey sensed it and left the room. The day was spent searching. Then I was back to my desk, staring. My eyes were drawn to the house next door. I don't know what made me look there. But something told me something was wrong. I scanned the bedroom windows with a frown. First window was dark. No movement. The other was Kat's mum, crying as she held a photo in her hands. She was staring down at it. I felt for her. I fucking missed Kat so bad. I forced myself to look at the other windows. Kitchen side window. Light was on. A dark haired kid was getting some water. Lounge window. Just light from the TV. My eyes lowered to the basement. The lights were on. I caught sight of Cole. He was naked with a dark haired girl. She had her back to me. Obviously a dumb cow if she's with him. I was just about to look away when they turned slightly. It was Kat. She looked petrified. He had a penknife at her throat. I shot to my feet and shouted, "EVERYONE DOWNSTAIRS NOW." Then ran down the steps. I was just dragging my shoes on when they all arrived, looking confused. I kept my eyes on my shoes. "Mum, call the police." I ordered. "Tel them Kat's in the basement next door with Cole, her brother. He's got a penknife. Mikey, Ray and Frank, wait out on the porch for the police. Dad and Bob, your my back up." I stood up and headed for the door. I looked at Dad as we approached the house. "One brother is in the kitchen." I told him. "You need to keep him procupied. Bob, there could be someone in the lounge. Watch the stairs." They both nodded and did as they were told. The kid in the kitchen let Dad through the back door. There was no one in the lounge when we walked in, quietly. Dad taught me lock picking because he knew I'd only use it in an emergency. Bob stood at the bottom of the stairs as I picked the basement door lock. I opened the door, quietly. I stopped part way down the steps as I saw something that will forever be etched on my brain. Cole was on top of Kat....fucking her. The knife was at her throat. I could hear her sobbing. "So fucking good." Cole panted. "For a fat bitch. Your boyfriends not gonna want you now." I felt sick. I was too late. I pushed myself to keep moving, quietly. I have to end her torture. "I'm gonna fuck you all night." Cole said, then licked her face. The knife moved away from Kat's throat, slightly. I took my opportunity. I dived at him and dragged him off, throwing him against the wall. He dropped the knife and we both lunged for it. He managed to get it before me. We fought for it as I heard sirens outside. I felt the knife being puched into my stomach. I head butted him and he fell backwards. A shot rang out and he fell to the floor. I turned to Kat. She'd grabbed a cover and wrapped it round herself. Her eyes on me as she hugged her legs to her chest. I smiled at her, then looked down at the knife in my stomach. I pulled it out, dropping it as I looked back at Kat. She sobbed and rushed towards me as I dropped the knife and fell to the floor. Last thing I saw before I lost conscience was Kat's tear stained face.
