If only I knew he was going to visit the hanging tree.

The last time I talked to Gerard it was New Year ’s Eve. I was sitting on the swings outside the house where the party was going on. I was drinking a beer and looking up at the cold December sky. I saw a slightly drunk Gerard coming my way. (Way heheheheh) Gerard hadn’t talked to me since November. He hadn’t said a word since the day he got beaten up and I was there to help him. He would ignore my text messages and he would avoid me in the hall way. But when I got beaten up or one of the girls were making fun of me, he would tell them to fuck off or to leave me alone. If I was beaten up he would help me up and if I was bleeding he would help me clean up. But the whole time he did this he wouldn’t say a word to me. If I asked him questions he would just look me in the eyes and say nothing. This was the first time I had seen him want to have any sort of social/physical contact with me in a month. He stumbled towards me, “Maggie” he cheered “yes” I asked looking up at him “I missed you soooooo much” he said grabbing my waist and pulling me up and into a bone crushing hug. “I’m angry with you Gerard” I said as he put me down. “A lot of people are angry with me” he chuckled “why did you stop talking to me” I said feeling as if I was about to cry “because I felt bad that you had to help a loser like me that day” he said scratching the back of his neck. My exasperation softened, “Gerard you’re not a loser and if I didn’t want to help you I wouldn’t have taken care of you that day” I said putting my hand on his shoulder. “Its 10 seconds till new year’s” he said smiling. “What’s your resolution?” I asked. “Confess to the girl I’ve been crushing on since 9th grade that I love her” I literally just tore my heart out and ripped it up and fed it to demons when he said that.“Oh” I said looking down “what’s yours?” he asked smiling. I could hear the people chanting. “This” I said I leaned in so our lips were no longer apart. He looked shocked at first but then he began to kiss back. “Happy new year!” I could hear people yelling. I pulled away from Gerard and leaned my head agents his chest. “I’m in love with you” he stated simply “what” I asked looking up. “I told you what I wanted to do on New Year’s and I just did it” he smiled. “I love you too” I said pecking his lips once more.

That was a year ago funny how things change, I am now in a black dress standing beside Gerard’s youngest brother Mikey and one of Gerard’s best friends frank. Tears trickled gently down my cheeks. I thought that I cried all my tears out for the past two days but I guess not. Mikey wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his head into my neck. Frank came around and rubbed my back as he leaned his head on my shoulder. I wrapped one arm around Mikey’s back and the other around frank. Mikey sobbed and frank silently let tears fall as did I. “Maggie I miss him” he wailed “I miss him too mikes” I tried to hold myself together but I couldn’t. Neither could frank, he was now holding me and Mikey in a group bear hug. We were a sobbing mess in a huge pile in front of Gerard and Mikey’s family and a few people from my family and franks family. Frank let go of me and mike and went back to holding me. I could tell he was trying hard to keep himself together but Mikey just let loose and sobbed, I couldn’t blame him. He just lost his older brother and I just lost the love of my life. Frank just lost his best friend and all we could do was cry. “I’m going out” I said suddenly “Mags you can’t leave it’s his funeral” frank said grabbing my hand. “Please don’t go” Mikey pleaded with blood shot eyes and a quivering voice. I looked down and let another tear slip out. I took the blood red roses I had brought and walked to his coffin. It was now closed as they were about to put it in the ground. I laid the roses on top with the other flowers. “I love you gee” I whispered one last time before I left. I began walking away from the graveyard before I heard my name being called. “Maggie” I saw Gerard’s mom Donna walking towards me. I stopped and looked at her with sad eyes. I could tell she had been crying because she was still sniffling a little bit. “Are you leaving honey” she asked saddens in her voice “I’m sorry Donna I just can’t watch anymore, I miss him so much” I let a few tears fall out again. “We all do sweetheart” she rubbed my shoulder “can I ask you something” she said looking back at Mikey and frank. “Anything” I forced a smile “will you look after frank and Mikey?” she asked. “What do you mean” I asked. “Well they trust you and I want them to be okay” she sighed “yeah of cores” I forced a second smile. I began walking away when Donna called me back again. “Maggie!? Be careful” she said with worry in her voice “I’ll try” I sighed walking to the woods.
