2 weeks later

I have been living with Gerard for two weeks seeing as my mom disowned me. Mrs. Way doesn't seem to mind, as long as Gerard and I don't do things. Right now Gerard and I are sitting on his bed watching tv. His room is actually in the basement; we had originally accidentally fallen asleep in his younger brother Mikey's room. Atleast Mikey wasn't home. Gerard has his arm around me and I'm wearing a pair of his sweatpants and his beloved Iron Maden t-shirt. Watching reruns of Batman. It's almost 10:00pm when I start drifting off to sleep. I feel him pull me in close and hold me tighter. I let my dreams take over.
I had a strange dream that my real house was on fire. My mother was screaming and crying and I was apologizing. She was telling me to run. I refused, not being able to leave her behind. Someone came stepping out of the smoke and grabbed my mother from behind. The ground opened up and whoever the person was, was dragging her through the ground. I woke up in a cold sweat.

Charlotte has called me three times today. She sounded worried. On the fourth call I decide to answer her.
"Vanya? Why haven't you been answering me?! I stopped by your house yesterday but your mother told me that you didn't live there anymore! Is everything alright?!" She asked an anxiously.
"I've been staying with Gerard since she disowned me," I reply, filling her in on the details.
"I'm coming over right away! Where does he live?"
"right next to me."
"I'll be there in 10."
