Chapter 11 – I'm trying to let you know just how much you mean to me

Gerard and I had made out for longer than we'd originally thought and soon the bell rang. I looked at Gerard who smiled at me, scooted off the table and took my hand.
"Ready to go?" For some odd reason I went all giggly. He caught up on this and kissed my hand in an old fashioned way. I playfully slapped him round the head and he mocked hurt.
"Quit playing around and let's go. I want to see what Gerard Way's like on a date" He winked at me and ruffled my carefully placed hair.
"Come on then, I'm driving" He led me out of the room and through the back gates as we didn't want to be caught bunking. Even though it was a free period teachers still got pissy if you missed it. Apparently it was a time where we can really concentrate on doing some 'worthwhile work', obviously the students had to disagree.

We spent most of the journey in the car screaming out lyrics to the misfits, even though Gee was more shouting than singing, you could still hear his talent. The cinema was reasonably busy and a crowd of people were surrounding the front desk. I laughed to myself, they clearly didn't know you can get a ticket from the food counter. As we approached the counter I noticed a teenage boy, no older than me and Gerard, cleaning up some sick on the floor.
"That's what you get from dropping out of school", I whispered to Gerard. I felt awful when the boy looked up at me. I don't think he'd heard me, he was just genuinely looking up. He pushed his red hair away from his sweaty forehead and smiled before getting back to work.
"Can I help you?" The girl behind the counter asked, she was chewing on gum loudly and was caked in makeup. I'm surprised her veins weren't showing on her temples as her ponytail was scraped so far back it probably made all her wrinkles disappear. I glanced at the menu. Great, I thought. It was so difficult being a vegetarian.
"Erm, yea. I'll just have some nachos please." She pressed a button on her screen and looked back at us, uninterested.
"Are you sure that's all you want Frankie? You don't want a hotdog?" Gerard turned to me, I stared into his gorgeous eyes that made me melt. Before realising I'd been staring for longer than I should have.
"I'm a vegetarian" I don't know why I was embarrassed about it, but I was. Gerard took my hand.
"Two nachos please" Again the woman behind the till, pressed a button and turned back to us.
"Anything else?"
"Yea, two tickets for The Bridge To Terabithia" I cocked an eyebrow at him.
"What? I want to see it" He defended himself. I laughed before taking my wallet out of my pocket. But I was stopped.
"What are you doing?" Gerard asked.
"Errr, paying for my stuff?" I mean, what did it LOOK like I was doing?
"No you're not. I'm paying for you" Gerard paid and picked up our tickets and soon we were sitting at the back of the theatre waiting for the movie to start.
"Thanks for paying for me" I whispered, I knew it was only adverts but people still got pissed off if you talked too loud.
"It's okay, I mean I did say I was going to take you out" He whispered back, not taking his eyes away from the screen. This could be fun, I thought to myself. I leant forward towards Gee's ear and whispered.
"You still owe me though" I lingered there for a while before sitting back in my chair. He gulped and turned to look me in the eyes.
"Are you going to hold me to that?" That husky tone was back again, it took all my will power not to have him right then and there.
"I might have to" I tried to match his tone of voice and luckily, I believe it worked as Gerard actually looked as if he were about to pounce on me. It was just my luck that the movie started, it was entertaining enough but I still couldn't wait for it to end so I could spend more time with Gee. When it had finally finished I turned to him, his face was wet with tears.
"Shit dude, have you been crying? What's wrong?"
"That. Was. So. Sad" He chocked through sobs. My only reaction was to laugh.
