Falling
Chapter 4
I woke up the next day with the biggest smile on my face. I'll admit it, i had a little crush on Gerard. He isn't popular soccer player hot, and i think that's why i am so attracted to him. I have always had a thing for the so called "nerds".
"Charlie, come down here." I got up and walked down the stairs.
"What?" I asked, still smiling like an idiot.
"I didn't get a chance to talk to you yesterday, you rushed off to your room so fast. Who was that boy?" My smile disappeared. My dad didn't like that i hung out so much with boys, they could hurt me, or whatever.
"Ehm.. just a boy down the street. He's in my art class." Dad nodded, but i couldn't tell what that nod meant. He had a neutral expression.
"You better bring him over so i can talk to him."
"So he won't ever talk to me again? Uh-uh, ain't gonna happen."
"Honey, i am just trying to protect you.."
"I know dad. I am going to get dressed, then i'll go out for a walk. I'll be back in three hours or so." I kissed him on his forehead before he even had the time to answer.
"Just.. just be carefull!" He yelled after me. I knew he was just being protective. Honestly, i get it. He doesn't want to loose me too. I'm all that he's got.
I put on a pair of tight black jeans, a black top and a big black hoodie and left to explore. It was sunny and warm, but i didn't care. I liked this outfit.
As i walked down the street, i noticed a playground and i decided to go and chek it out. It was old and most off the swings and slides were covered in moss. I sat down on one of the swings. It squeaked every time I moved, so I didn't hear that there was someone walking behind me.
"How does that sound not bother you?" I turned around with a jerk. It was Gerard.
"Gosh you scared me." He giggled and sat down on the swing next to me.
"Sorry. So what are you doing out here?"
"Not much. I was walking around and i found this place. What about you? Were you stalking me?" I said jokingly.
"Hahaha you wish! No, i usually just come here to draw. I love this place, it is so quiet. Part from that fucking swing." he said and pointed at the swing i was sitting on.
"Yeah, they should really do something about that." I said and smiled at him. He smiled sweetly back.
"Don't move." He suddenly said and began to rummage for something in his back pocket.
"What? Why?" I asked confused. He didn't answer. From his pocket he took out a pencil and a drawing pad and opened up a blank page.
"Sit still" He put his pen to the paper and began to draw. Now and then he looked up at me and smiled a little.
"What are you.." He interrupted me.
"Shh. Don't say anything." I sat quietly for about 20 minutes before he put the pen down.
"You can look now." He said and smiled brightly. I sat down next to him and he showed me the picture.
"Wow.. Gerard this is really good!" I took the picture out of his hand. Damn i even looked good!
"Thanks! I don't really like drawing people, but i guess this is an exception." He smiled at me. I didn't say anything, there wasn't much to say. So we just sat there looking at eachother, when he suddenly moved forward. Slowly, he moved his lips closer to mine. I could feel his warm breath in my face, and his hand touching mine. At first i didn't do anything, but then i snapped out of it. I barely knew this kid!
"I should go.. my dad is probably waiting." I said and stood up.
"Hey come on wait! I'm sorry, i didn't mean to!" I could see the disappointment in his eyes.
"Nothing happened. I have to go." I walked about 10 meters and then turned around.
"Gerard, let's just say i don't kiss on the first date."
"Well i didn't know this was a date but..What about when we watched a movie together? This must be our second date." He grinned.
"Well it wasn't but.. Nevermind. And movie night doesn't count. We were not alone."
"Okay so i'll pick you up at 8 tomorrow? And we can go somewhere alone." He grinned contentedly. I gave him a smile to let him know that i said yes and he smiled contentedly.
When i walked inside the house i saw a jacket. We had a guest.
I walked in to the living room. Dad was sitting on the couch facing me, the mysterious guest had thier back against me.
"Honey, we have a guest." I was going to say something witty like "You don't say?" but i figured it would be better not to.
"Yes, i saw the jacket. Hello, I'm Charlie." The guest turned around. It was a middle aged woman. I couldn't put my finger on it, but somehow it felt like i had met her before.
"Hello Charlie. My name is Donna Lee Way. One of my sons is also here, but he is in the bathroom." I smiled politely.
"I'm sorry, have we met before? I could almost swear i..." I didn't get to finish that sentence. Guess who walked out. Mikey fucking Way. He looked a bit suprised when he saw my face.
"Hi Charlie.." he said.
"Hey Mikey." I said, just as suprised as he was.
"Wait you guys know each other?" My dad said.
"This is his brother. That boy i met yesterday." I looked at my feet. What if Gerard didn't want his mother to know about me? Well now she knows.
"Ooh! Gerard told me all about you!" I smiled in relief. She knew.
"There isn't much to tell, we barely know each other." I laughed nervously.
"Well you'll get to know each other better. Mikey, shall we head home? I have to cook dinner." Mikey nodded and they headed for the door.
"Perhaps we can have dinner together sometime?" Dad asked.
"Yes, that sounds lovely! Thanks for inviting us, Mr. Sanders."
"Oh please call me Peter." Donna smiled and they left.
Dad and i looked at each other.
"Well.. at least now i know that Mr. Gerard wont hurt you. They seem like good people." I gave my dad a quick hug an ran up to my room.
I couldn't stop thinking about that kiss. What if i did kiss him? And tomorrow we are going on a date.. should i let him kiss me? Crap i don't know. Okay just close your eyes and try to sleep.
But I didn't sleep a wink that night.
"Charlie, come down here." I got up and walked down the stairs.
"What?" I asked, still smiling like an idiot.
