Life on the Murder Scene || Gerard Way Horror Romance

20: Christmas Possessions

Christmas morning. 

As soon as tour ended I got help the very next day. I started therapy and It's really helped so far. Everyone's been so supportive and I can't be any happier. 

I slept in pretty late today, 12:30pm to be exact. I head downstairs in my matching pajamas that I have with Gerard. Yes, I did make him wear matching pajamas. Everyone was waiting downstairs  for me. 

"Morning sleepy head." Gerard brings me in for a hug and kiss, while handing me his coffee to share. "Time for gifts!!" I say and usher everyone to pick one with their name on it. We didn't go too crazy on gifts but we still wanted everyone to have something to open. 

I watch everyone open their gifts while I try to take plenty of pictures. I never want to forget this moment. 

"Jules, here." Frank hands me a gift. I open it to see a painting of Gerard and I in our wedding clothes, blood and all. "Frank this is beautiful!" I give him a big hug. "Only for the best!" 

Gerard gets up off the couch and gets his gift from him to me. "You didn't need to get me anything!" He really didn't. He had already done so much for me. Constantly looking after me, buying me things, he treated me like queen. 

I open it to see lingerie. "GERARD!" I quickly cover it and playfully hit him on the arm. "What is it? Lemme see!" Mikey grabs it, oh no. "AHHH I DIDN'T NEED TO SEE THAT!!" I rip it from his hands while Gerard is laughing his ass off on the floor. "This is something you gift in PRIVATE!" I can't help but laugh along with everyone. 

Mikey covers his face and says, "I didn't need to imagine my own sister-in-law in lingerie. My eyeeeesss!" Gerard looks at him funny. "And why are you imagining her like that Mikey? Huh?" He puts his own brother in a headlock. "I didn't mean it like that! I promise!" I loved seeing them play fight.

I can feel my mood shift. Everyones settled down, napping, watching tv, so I head out for a smoke break. Ever since I stopped drinking I've caught myself smoking more. 

I wrap myself in my blanket watching the snow fall. I'm sitting in the sunroom so It's incapsulated. I sniffle. My tears fall from my dark eyes. God I miss my parents. I know they were fucking crazy but times like this make me miss them. 

They always loved celebrating Christmas. They decorated the inside and outside of the house top to bottom. 

I hear the door open and I try to wipe my tears quickly. "I saw you out here and didn't want you to be alone." Gerard sits next to me pulling out a cigarette. I try not to speak because I know if I do he'll be able to tell I was crying. 

He tries to look at me and I look away quickly. "Juliette, what's wrong?" Gee says sternly. I breakdown. "Oh Jules, don't cry. Don't cry." He immediately wraps his arms around me, holding on tightly. "Gerard, I miss my parents. So much. Holidays are so hard without them." I never really talked to Gerard about my parents except what I said at the cemetery & at my house when we first met. 

"Do you wanna talk about it? What exactly happened sugar?" He rubs my back lovingly. 

*Flashback to that time* 

School just ended and it was a Friday. Finallyyyy!!! My mom or dad usually picked me up after school.  I never had to take the bus which I was thankful for. I sit and wait on the steps. 

It started getting late and my parents still weren't there. The school buses had left and the only cars left in the parking lot were teachers. I sigh and decide to walk home. It wasn't too far but it wasn't safe for a 13 year old girl to walk alone.
