Down And Out
Chapter 15
Gerard had that damn dream, same setting, same time. The only thing that was different he could tell who it was. Or at least their gender.
It was a she.
And that's what scared him the most. The only person he could think of was Meagan..
But, it's just a dream he kept reminding himself. Meagan would never. But after all she had been through, what if she just, gave up.
He had to stop thinking about it. Besides, he could just ask her about it next time he saw her.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" He spoke softly and unsure of himself as he approached his best friend. Meagan sat calmly on the bleachers of the school track and football field. It was gym class and she obviously didn't want to walk the track like she was supposed to. Honestly neither did Gerard but he was too afraid to sit on the side unlike his friend.
"Yeah, sure. What's up?" Meagan asked in a semi-worried tone of voice.
"Well, you see, I've sorta, it's hard to-" Gerard stumbled as he attempted to find the right words.
"Gee, spill." She responded a little impatiently.
"I kinda had this dream, where someone kills themselves. I don't know why, or how. But it scares me." He rushed out the last few words and looked up at Meagan awaiting her response.
"Gee, it's just a dre-" But he interrupted her swiftly.
"I know, everyone's gonna say that but listen here, I think it's you who kills themselves."
Now she was full on balling her eyes out at this.
"Gee, come on man, me? Suicide? Lets be real here. I'd never leave you all alone. And now that I'm away from my family I have nothing to fear. I can live my life without fear. Man, I'd never kill myself. Lets be as realistic as possible. Why would I anyway? What would it solve? Throwing myself off a bridge or shooting myself would solve absolutely nothing. So lighten up a little, I'll be fine."
"Alright, I guess you're right."
"Exactly. Aren't I always?"
Gerard just nodded at this as the whole class was called to return to the high school.
Notes
Exams are coming up so don't expect too much over the next two weeks, I'll try an update as soon as possible. School comes first for me. Sorry.
Oh and also, sorry i write such short chapters, but since i'm only writing fillers right now, they're destined to be short.
Bye guys.
