Like a spike in my heart

It's okay

He smelled like black coffee and paint.
He was sad and I didn't know what to do.
Those beautiful hazel eyes of his shimmering with tears.
"Everything's okay Gee" I whispered.
I kissed his cheek and left.

I left the Way house and said good morning to Mikey on my way out.

"That was a weird ass night if you ask me" I sighed.

I walked home. It was pretty cold outside but I didn't mind.
The wind was relaxing.

When I got home, I decided to call Ray.
"Hey fro" I said.
"Well hello good sir" he answered with a fake British accent. "How was your night with Gerard?"
"Had to force him to sleep, but it was very weird, I woke up to him staring at me"
"I think he has a crush on you"
"Okay I'm gonna tell you something but you can't tell anyone else or else you're dead"
"Shoot at me"
"Gerard's a vampire" I sighed.
"You're messing with me" Ray laughed.
"I'm not, he almost killed me yesterday, he has fangs and he had blood all over his face" I explained to him.
"That's so cool! Not the almost killing you part but the vampire stuff"
"He promised not to hurt me"
"But if he does I will murder him" he said with a serious tone.
"I'll talk to you later" I said.
"Byeeee"

I put the phone down and sat on the couch.

What if I just kiss him? Nooooo. That wouldn't work out well. What if I just straight up tell him that I like him? Nooooo, 'cause if I get rejected it would be super duper awkward.
I'll just hold my secret for now.

"What am I gonna do with myself?" I thought out loud to myself. "And why was he so sad about me leaving?"
"He's scared that you won't come back" the familiar voice said. "He loves you"
"I'm fully awake, what's going on?"
The white haired man stepped into my view.
"How are you here?" I asked.
"I don't know but Mother War told me to keep an eye on you"
I reached my hand out to touch him. He grabbed my hand and I gasped.
"Are you real?"
"No darling, sadly I'm not 'real'. I do exist but not here. You can touch me and you can see me but others can't"
"Why does Mother War want you to keep an eye on me?"
"She said that you might be in danger and as the leader of The Black Parade I had come here"
"Oh it might have something to do with my friend Gerard"
His eyes widened at the name.
"Gerard Way?" He asked. "The vampire boy?"
"You know him?" I asked.
"I uhm- I've met him once, through his dreams"
"He knows about The Black Parade?"
"Yes, and I'm afraid that he's very dangerous"
"He's not, he's a nice and gentle guy. He wouldn't hurt anyone without a reason"
"He almost killed you"
"But he promised not to hurt me" I said.
"I don't want you to get hurt"
"When I die we'll be together, remember?"
"I'm gonna call him"

I took out my phone and smirked at the leader.
"Hey Gerard"
"Hey Y/N! What's up?" Gerard answered cheerfully.
"Nothing much, I was just wondering if you know anything about a place called The Black Parade?"
