Falling
Chapter 8
When i woke up my head was resting on Gerards shoulder. And we were still on the swing. I don't understand how he managed to sleep sitting up with me in his lap, nor how he could stay on the swing.
"Oh shit.. what time is it?" I said, but received no response. Gerard was still sleeping. I tenderly stroked his cheek.
"Gerard... wake up. I have to go home. Gee. Hun. Honey." When i said the word 'honey' he woke up immediately.
"I'm up!" He blinked sleepily. He looked so adorable.
"We fell asleep."
"No, you fell asleep. And you looked so cute, that i couldn't bring myself to wake you up." He smiled and stroke a curl out of my hair.
"Oh so that's why i had to wake you up?" I suppressed a laugh.
"Shut up." He started kissing me, softly but passionately. I pulled away.
"Sorry but i really need to go home. What if Anne wakes up and i'm not there? And even worse; what if she tells my dad? He would never let me go out with you again!" My own words scared me. What if i would never be allowed to see Gerard again?
"Aww okay.." He zipped up and let me out of his pyjamas.
"Hey, don't look so sad! I'll call you. Promise." I pressed my lips against his.
"Yeah yeah." He embraced me and followed me out on the road.
"Bye Gerard." I smiled at him.
"I'll see you around. Hey, maybe i should introduce Frank to your friend Anne?"
"No you should not! That girl is nothing but trouble and i don't want to see Frank get hurt." I stared warningly at him.
"What are you talking about? She seems nice." He looked confused.
"She is. But at the same time not."
"You know what? I'll invite Frank over tonight. And you can bring Anne. We'll watch a movie, or talk or just mess around. And Frank is not dumb, he won't fall that easily." I sighed heavily.
"Fine. But if Frank get's hurt, it's on you." Gerard nodded.
"I can live with that. I'll call you later then."
"Kay." He kissed me again before he turned around and we walked home.
Anne was really psyched for tonight. She did her makeup, put on a huge push-up bra and a blouse that showed too much cleavage if you ask me, and a pair of too short shorts. Me on the other hand, just wore a Misfits t-shirt and a pair of shorts that did not show half my ass. She kept asking me questions about Frank.
"Is he hot?"
"Yeah, i guess."
"Does he have a girlfriend?"
"No. Why?"
"Just asking. Does he have many friends?"
"Well yes..."
"Cool. Is he a virgin?"
"What? How the hell am i suppose to know that? And why would you want to know such a thing?"
"I just want to get to know him. He might get lucky tonight." She winked at me. Ew, she is disgusting. Why am i even friends with her?
"Let's just go."
I knocked on the Ways door. I heard a familiar voice and Gerards mom opened.
"Oh hello Charlie! Gerard and Frank are in the basement, i was just heading out. Mikey is in his room. Have fun and take care of the boys for me will you? Oh and please keep an eye on Mikey." She smiled widely at me.
"I will Mrs. Way." I responded and smiled at her. We walked inside and she locked the door and drove off.
"So, shall we?" Anne started walking towards the basement door.
"Hang on, i just have to go check on Mikey. You can go ahead, i'll be right there." Anne put her hair behind her ear and walked down the stairs while i headed for Mikeys door. I knocked carefully.
"What the hell do you want know?" He sounded angry.
"Geez, sorry. I was just going to say hi."
"Oh sorry Charlie, i thought it was Gerard." He opened the door.
"It's cool. Why aren't you in the basement? We are going to watch a scary movie." Mikey shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't want to sit down there with you guys! You'll probably just make out and miss all the good parts. Plus, i've already seen it like a thousand times."
"You sure? There is room for one more."
"Yeah, i'm sure."
"Alright, just come down if you need anything. I'll check on you every once in a while."
"Sounds good to me." He smiled and shut the door, and i walked down to the basement.
"Hello there beautiful." Gerard said and stood up.
"You are so cheesy." I replied and Gerard lifted me up.
"You like when i'm cheesy." He kissed me gently.
"I like you all the time." I kissed him back, a bit rougher.
"Oookay, what the hell did she do to you Gerard? It's like you're a completely different person. You're so fuzzy and cute and i can't stand it."
"I don't know man. She's just so..." he looked into my eyes and kissed me. I giggled.
"That's enough. Let's watch the movie. Anne and i get the couch, you guys can get the big chair since all you are going to do is kiss."
"Fair enough." I said and Gerard carried me to the chair. He was all over me, kissing and touching me. It felt nice being loved like that. It was one of the happiest moments in my life. I heard a bit of Frankie and Annes conversation in the back.
"So... what do you do here in Belleville?" Anne asked. Frank sighed.
"Not much."
"You don't... go to parties and drink and stuff?"
"Yeah, it happens."
"Sounds fun! Maybe you could take me to a party someday? Show me how Belleville people have fun."
"Maybe."
"So what's your favorite band?"
"Look, i just wanna watch the movie, and i would enjoy it so much more if you were quiet." I almost burst into laughter, so i had to put my hand in front of my mouth. Gerard did the same thing.
"I just asked..." She sounded frustrated. Guys always fell for her charm, but not this one.
"Yeah and i answered. Gee, i think i'll just head home. I'm getting a headache." He glanced at her.
"What a douche."
"Maybe, boys wouldn't treat you like a piece of meat if you would wear clothes that fit for a change. Because i bet your family is wealthy, right?"
"What are you talking about, this outfit is hot!"
"No, it's slutty. Look at Charlie. She's hot. A real babe. You are the kind of chick you find on the street at 1pm." Now this was going too far. Although i agreed with Frank, he shouldn't speak like that to her.
"Okay Frank that's enough." I jumped off Gerard.
"What? It's true."
"Frank, shut up. Go home, have a beer or something. Anne, let's go. He should not speak to you like that." Anne was almost crying. Yes, she could wear more proper clothes. But Frank has no right treating her like garbage. I was pissed off. I pulled Anne up the stairs, but Gerard called after me.
"Charlie, wait. Frank, apologize to her."
"No, that won't be necessary. She will not see him again." I gave Frank an angry glanced and then slammed the door shut.
"Why did he talk to me like that? I was just trying to start a conversation.." She sobbed quietly.
"I don't know Anne. You go ahead... i need to talk to both of them." She nodded and walked home. I went down the stairs to the basement and stared both of them in the eyes.
"What the hell is the matter with you?" I started with Frank.
"What? She was annoying me so i told her."
"She was trying to start a conversation!"
"By rubbing her boobs on my arm?! What a conversation starter!" He threw his arms up in the air and stood up.
"If she did that, why did you not tell her? WITHOUT BEING RUDE!" I was getting angry.
"There is no way to tell a slut that she needs to stop without being rude." Oh he did not just say that!
"You fucking prick!" I threw myself on him and he fell to the ground. I sat on top of him and started punching him in the face. Not too hard, because i didn't want him to get hurt.
"Charlie! Charlie stop! Knock it off! Hey! STOP!" Gerard came to Frank's rescue and pulled me away.
"What the hell Charlie!?" Frank rubbed his cheek and looked at me with a horrified expression.
"Frank i'm sorry... but she is my best friend. The only best friend i've ever had. And i know she is slutty and over the topp, but she has good sides too. I'm sorry." Frank pulled me into a hug.
"It's okay. I didn't know you were so strong! You just knocked me off my feet!" He laughed a bit and made me smile.
"Can you just.. apologize to her? Just tell her that she's not your type." Frank stroked my back.
"Okay, i'll tell her. Promise." I smiled at him then turned around to face Gerard.
"I told you this wasn't a good idea." He lowered his head.
"Yeah.. i should've trusted you. Sorry." He lifted me up and put his hands on my ass.
"Yep. But it's okay." I kissed him then i jumped down. "I have to go home now. Frank, i expect you to come over tomorrow and apologize. Understood?" Frank nodded and bit lip, and i walked home. What a messed up day.
"Oh shit.. what time is it?" I said, but received no response. Gerard was still sleeping. I tenderly stroked his cheek.
"Gerard... wake up. I have to go home. Gee. Hun. Honey." When i said the word 'honey' he woke up immediately.
"I'm up!" He blinked sleepily. He looked so adorable.
"We fell asleep."
"No, you fell asleep. And you looked so cute, that i couldn't bring myself to wake you up." He smiled and stroke a curl out of my hair.
