Home Is Where The Heart Is
Chapter Two
Gerard is amazing! He doesn't seem to like me, but I really like him. I know not to be as rude as I want to. Before she died, my aunt always told me "Kindness and courage are the key to a happy life. Don't let them get to you." I've tried to be as kind as I can, for my aunt. But the other kids have gotten to me. Not at school, since where I come from, theres no more than twelve kids a class and Minnesotans are really nice. But I'd get facebook messages, and texts.
"Kat?" Gerard asked. I looked up, realizing the movie was over, and Mikey wasn't there anymore.
"Yeah?" I reply.
"You ok? You kinds zoned out. Mikey went to see why there was yelling coming from your house. He might be awhile." Just then, the front door opened. Mr and Mrs.Way came in, faces red.
"Kat, we talked to your mom, and we figured it would be better if you stay with us for awhile." Mrs.Way says. "We'll get you some clothes, and you can have the guest room. If you need anything from home, Gerard can walk over with you to get it. We just don't think it's safe for you there."
"Are you sure it won't be a bother?" I ask, hoping I would get to stay. I really like Gerard, and this seems like a good, stable family.
"Of course not! It'll be nice having a girl in the house for once!"
"Thank you. How long will I stay here?"
"We don't know. Maybe a few months. But if you want anything, you need to get it now."
"Okay. You coming, Gerard?" I ask him. He stands, following me next door to my house. We reach my room, getting three bags from my closet and loading my few things up into them.
