*Lily's P.O.V*

I was pretty sure I knew what Gerard wanted. He wanted sex. I could tell by the way he called my new look "hot," and "sexy as hell." I wasn't comfortable enough to do that yet. He gave me a weird look as I hesitated to cuddle up to him. I felt bad that I was uncomfortable around him. I hope he understands.

"Babe? Is something wrong?" he asked, looking down at me.

"What? No!" I said defensively. I wasn't a good liar. He just brushed it off and snuggled even closer to me. It was nice to be able to cuddle with him again. I just hoped he didn't want more.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you too," I said with a small smile. There was so.much we needed to talk about, but I didn't want to push him. We needed to talk about the fact he tried to kill himself and almost succeeded. We needed to talk about the reason he started being a dick to me again in the first place. We needed to talk about the fact he basically dumped me way before I officially broke it off. We needed to talk about the song I wrote for him and how my friends hate him now. We needed to talk about so much.

"Do you think you could come over real quick and talk to Mikey? I know it's a weird question, but he's still afraid of me and I think the only person he'll listen to is you," Gerard asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah, of course," I agreed.

"I also want to let my mom know we're back together. She really likes you, Lily. She missed you," Gerard said. I smiled.

"Lead the way, Prince Charming," I said, laughing. He laughed and got up off of the couch. He grabbed my arm and helped me up. I started walking before he stopped me.

"If I'm Prince Charming, you shouldn't have to walk," he said. He bent down to let me on his back. I climbed up and giggled as he began to give me a piggyback ride all the way to his house.  As soon as we entered the door, he started shouting for his mom. "Mom! I'm back, and Lily's here!" he shouted. He adjusted my position so I wouldn't fall off of his back and he took us both towards the stairs.

I giggled as he walked up the stairs with me on his back. "Bumpy ride," I said, causing him to let out a little chuckle.  Once we made it to the top of the stairs, we found Donna doing laundry. She had headphones in. That explains why she didn't respond to us. She had her back turned to us, so Gerard came up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped.

"Gerard Arthur Way! You scared the hell out of me!" she screamed before looking up and noticing that I was on his back. "Does this mean you're back together?" she asked, smiling widely.

"Yes it does," I answered, leaning my head down to place a kiss on his cheek. He adjusted my position once more.

"Is Mikey in his room? I want to surprise him," Gerard asked Donna quietly, not wanting Mikey to hear. Donna nodded and we walked over to the closed door of Mikey's room. "Don't say anything," he whispered to me as he knocked on Mikey's door.

"Mikey, can I come in? I want to talk to you," Gerard said.

"Go away," Mikey snapped.

"Are you sure you want me to go away?" he asked with an evil tone in his voice.

"Yes, I'm positive," Mikey scoffed.

"Fine. I guess you don't want to see my surprise for you, then. I'll just leave now," Gerard said slowly, giving Mikey another chance to open the door.

"I'm not falling for that. What surprise could you possibly have for me?" Mikey retorted.

Gerard set me down off of his back for a second so he could tell me what to say. It was my turn to speak now. "You'll have to open the door and find out," I said.
