Chapter 12
The tree (FPOV)
By Friday I was going mad, there was still no sign of Gerard or Mikey, no one knew where they were or when they were coming back, if they were coming back at all. Everyday I walked pass his house with the hope the car would be there, but nothing had changed. The house remained empty pilling newspapers on the front porch and leaves on the loan. Gerard's cell phone had stopped working on Thursday, not that he was answering anyways; still, I hadn't lost hope.
Rumours filled the school talking about "the new guys" disappearance. Some said they had moved out, others that they had died… both scared me, specially the last one, cause some people were saying they had seen two ambulances outside his house on Sunday. I was terrified something might have happened to Gerard, so I went to the hospital to see if he was there, they told me they had a "Way" patient come in on Sunday but that they had left Monday morning, she didn't know where, and I was terrified of thinking of Gerard hurt in a hospital bed, but now he was just gone. I didn't know where he was or if he was coming back, what if I never see him again? Maybe something happened to him and they just took off never to return! But what the fuck happened! I only knew him for like a month, I shouldn't be so attached, but I couldn't help my heart from aching at the mere thought of never seeing his gorgeous face again.
Geometry drawn on forever, but I couldn't really pay any attention. I had been out of it all week, and part of me knew I was going to have to snap out of it sooner or later… specially if there was a chance he wasn't coming back, I couldn't be so down for loosing someone who was never more than a friend, even if my heart refused to accept that statement.
The final bell rang and I dragged my feet out of the classroom, head low, eyes on the floor. I felt the people bumping into me, yelling stuff at me, I didn't care, cause today was the day. On Wednesday I had promised myself that if Gerard wasn't back by Friday I was going to move on, stop moping and just deal with it, easier said than done. Today was Friday, which meant I had to stop feeling so despaired, after all I had no reason to be sad, not really. My heart laughed at me and shed a tear; I was bracing myself for "recovery" GOD! I'm such a girl! I would not be acting like this had I not met this guy… a month ago I would have never gotten so down over a dude… or a girl… yet I could not bring myself to regret meeting him, cause he had changed my life, for the best, even if he was gone now…
After getting my books from my locker -thing I never did but was set on occupying my mind on anything that wasn't him, even if that meant homework- I walked to the front doors, I took one last deep breath and walked out determined, this was it.
As I crossed the parking lot I approached his tree with a sad smile. How I missed seeing him there, sitting down surrounded by papers and coloured pencils, his messy hair on his focused face, his stained hand dancing on the paper leaving beautiful and precise lines behind…
With a sigh I neared it, every step my heart beat faster, and so my feet began to speed up, my hands began to sweat and a smile broke on my face. Either I had truly gone mad or that alabaster disarray of hair was actually him, he was back. I was almost sprinting by the time I got there, I was panting and my lungs were filled with that intoxicating scent I had missed so much.
"Gerard?" I tried to scream but it came out a ragged whisper, his head snapped to the side and a smile broke on his face, he jumped up and stood there frozen for a second, his smile faltered and he lowered his gaze, he was hesitant but I wasn't, I just couldn't control myself, I cut the distance in one quick step and collided forcefully into him in a tight hug. I couldn't believe how much I had missed him, his scent, his laugh, his arms…
at first he didn't react, his arms remained on his sides, but I couldn't bring myself to care, I was too happy… I was about to let go of him when my common sense kicked in and I realized that he clearly didn't want to hug me, which meant that probably he didn't want me hugging him either, when he reacted. His arms encased me and constricted me in a warm embrace. My smile grew and I felt full again.
A/N: okay so I'm sorry its so short, but I felt like the reunion should be short and sweet, and to end it there seemed perfect :) soooo… im working on the next chapter now, so it should be up by Sunday… thank you for understanding and for all your support, love you!
