Juliette's POV: 

*insert annoying alarm sound here* 

"Good god I am SICK of this SHIT." I yell at my alarm. 8 am on a Sunday. You know what time it is.  I spent the weekend alone, just reading and drinking. Occasionally going out to eat with Gerard and the boys.


I get dressed and look in the mirror

I get dressed and look in the mirror. God I look rough. Eye bags on 100%. I add more smudged eye liner with a little glitter on the lids hoping to hide my eye bags. I think I made it worse honestly.  

I get a text from Gerard and it reads: 

Gerard: I'll be waiting for you after church. See you then, doll. 

I just smile at the text and head out. 

The weather was actually really nice. Sunny with some light clouds, breezy. When I stepped outside I breathe in and out and stomp my way to the Church. I meet Noelle outside and she says, "You okay? You look tired Jules." She puts her hand on my head to check my temp. "Noelle, I'm fine. I was up all weekend reading and drinking." I crossed my arms and we go sit down somewhere in the middle of the pews. 

I doze off a couple of times and each time I do Noelle pokes my side. As church ends and older gentlemen stares me down. I give a nasty look. Do these old ass white people know that staring is rude? As we were about to leave the older man comes to me and says, "You are in the presence of God and you wear that? You must repent now or suffer in hell!" He bring out a small white bottle from his shirt pocket and "blesses me" with it. It genuinely shook me and I didn't even know what to say before he walks away shaking his head at me. 

I can tell Noelle was very pleased seeing me be "blessed". She thanks the random man for his act  and I'm visibly pissed, rightfully so. I stomp my way to the door and she runs after. 

"You seriously didn't stop him? You're gonna let him SLUT SHAME ME IN FRONT OF ALLLLL OF THOSE PEOPLE??!!" I get in her face and I'm just yelling at her. People gather and she starts sobbing. "Oh don't you start crying, pathetic. PATHETIC!" At this point people are pulling her away and pushing me out of the church. "YOU AREN'T A REAL FRIEND!" Is the last thing I can get out before they shut the doors and I'm left crying on the church stairs. 

Suddenly I am surrounded by several people. I look up teary eyed to see Gerard's face. I felt instant relief. I look around even more to see Frank, Mikey, and Ray all around me, you can tell they were worried for me. They help me up and we walk to the cemetery entrance. We sit on the bench together. 

Frank breaks the silence by saying, "You don't have to explain anything. We saw what happened, I'm sorry that happened." My crying had slowed down but after he spoke I couldn't help but let the tears flow. I lean my head against Franks shoulder and take in his scent to help ground me. Coffee and cologne. 

Gerard speaks up, "Juliette my love," He takes his finger under my chin and places a kiss on my lips. "You need to breathe. You'll be okay." I just close my eyes and breathe.
