Icy Blues (Gerard Way Teacher)

Chapter Twenty-Five: A Cruel Welcome

"You fucking monster!" I scream while pounding on the door. "I will kill you with my bare fucking hands Gerard! You sick piece of shit!" I was in nothing but a towel but I was full of rage. He murdered my sister. He murdered Aron and burned his house to the ground. Raelyn and I were strained for the last few weeks, I hated her. But no matter how much I tell myself that. She was still my sister. And before Gerard she was the only family I had. She would look out for me and do everything she could to give me a decent life. Gerard fucked all that up. This is all his fault.

"I don't care what you do to me. I don't fucking care! I will never in my fucking life love or care about you! You mean absolutely nothing to me and I will celebrate the day you die!" I think that is what set him off. The sound of thundering footsteps echo above me growing louder and louder each second until they were right outside the door. I quickly back away as the door swings open. Gerard stands there, rage radiating off his body. "Take it back." He says darkly. I look up at him and cringe. "Never." All I could hear was his jagged breathing as he slowly steps towards me. I hold tightly onto my towel and stand my ground. "I'll give you one final chance Riley. One last chance. Take. It. Back." I don't react to his threat. "Go. To. Hell." With that, he storms over to me grabbing a fist full of my hair and dragging me over to the bath tub I had yet to drain. Without a word, Gerard kicks the back of my legs forcing me down onto my knees. "So high and mighty are you Riley?" I go to respond but am cut off when Gerard shoves my head under the water. He hold me under for a few seconds before yanking me back up, allowing me to take in the sweet air. "You don't care what I do to you?" He again shoves my head below the water. I flail my arms around trying to get him off me but it was beyond useless. He holds me under for slightly longer before pulling me up once more. "Do you see how easy it would be for me to torture or kill you Riley?" Back under he holds me down for longer. I could feel my body grow weak and black spots begin to cloud my vision. This time when I get yanked back up I'm thrown to the ground where I struggle to take in air as I stare up at Gerard.

"You struggled. You fought. You know what that means? You don't want to die. And even if you do, I won't let that happen." My towel had come off ages ago but in the moment I didn't care. "Or is it, you don't care if you die. You care if the people you love die? Frank, Daniel, Jade? I could pay them a visi-" "Don't you fucking dare lay a finger on them!" I force myself off the ground and go to attack Gerard who simply grabs my hands and pushes me back. "A little weak spot for you I see?" He chuckles darkly before wrapping me in his arms and holding my back against his chest. His lips lay softly on my ear as he speaks once more. "Our games are fun Riley. But we've been playing them for so long. And it's never fun when cheating is involved." His grip on my wrists tighten painfully. "I think we should get rid of the cheater. Don't you think? Let it be just you and I again. What do you say Riley. Why don't I go out for a little stroll and get rid of Frank once and for all!" "No! No Gerard please!" Tears begin streaming down my face at the thought. I can't let Gerard hurt him. "Why not? You're never going to see him again anyways. Why should you care if I go to his house and slit his fucking throat!" "No no no!" I cry out loosing strength in my legs. "You already have me here all to yourself! He doesn't matter anymore just please leave him alone!" Both down on our knees Gerard spins me to face him. "Please Gerard. I'll stay here, I don't hate you just please leave Frank alone." I look up into Gerard's stone cold eyes with my tear filled ones and I see them slightly soften. "I don't want to ever hear his name again. Understood?" I nod my head vigorously and he smiles, pulling me into a tight hug. "I knew you would come to your senses."

Gerard wraps me in a blanket and brings me over to the couch where he just sits, holding me while I try to force myself to stop crying. But just being near him causes me to keep going. "Why did you kill her Gerard. She didn't deserve to die." She betrayed me in the worst way possible but again, she was still my sister. The only family I had left. "She was bad Riley. She was going to stop us from being together. She heard everything I said to you and threatened that if I didn't kill you and run away with her, she would kill you herself. I couldn't let that happened. Nobody hurts my girl." "Nobody except you, right?" I felt his arms become tense but he remains silent for a few moments. "I had to do that Riley. You know I did. Nothing else was getting my point across." I wanted to scream at him. I wanted to beat him with whatever strength I had left. But before I could even say a word a loud knock echoes through the house. "Shit." Was all Gerard said before looking down at me. "Not a word. Understand? Or whoever is up there will end up like Aron." My eyes widen and he quickly leaves the room, locking the door behind him. 

"Hello officers what can I do for you?" I could just faintly hear from above me. I lean on the door for a better listen. "We apologize for disturbing you at this hour Mr. Way but due to recent events we had a man come forward and accuse you of holding Riley Rockwell hostage." "What the hell? Why would I be holding one of my students hostage." "We know about your relation to her sister and with Raelyn dead and Riley missing we have to take all accusations seriously." "R-Raelyn's dead?" Oh god what a fucking actor. "We're sorry you had to find out this way Mr. Way. But we have a warrant to search the property." "Absolutely, whatever you need. Oh god I can't believe this!" Wow he really is quite the actor. 

I could hear the officers wandering all over the house. Moving things around and talking to each other and Gerard. But even when they were in the room under the stairs they didn't find the door. I felt like all hope was lost. They're never going to find me. Although being scared to move, I silently move around so I could get myself dressed. I was beginning to get cold and if Gerard came back down I didn't want to be venerable. That's when I heard the front door slam open. "Where is she you son of a bitch!" Is that? "Mr. Iero you need to leave." Frank! "I know he has her! Search harder that sick son of a bitch has her I know it!" Oh my god, thank god the officers are here. Who know what Gerard would have done. "Mr. Iero we searched the whole house, top to bottom! She is not here!" "Then he's keeping her somewhere else I know this sick son of a bitch has her!" I hear the sound of scuffling before the front door slams. 

"Mr. Way I know you're distraught right now but would you mind coming with me to the station just to answer a few questions? It won't be long." "Of course officer." With that, I heard the two sets of footsteps disappear and the front door slam once more before I was engulfed in a deafening silence.

(It has been awhile I know! I apologize. Starting a new job is not easy. With shift work and 8-10 hours of overtime a week. It's exausing. I love seeing everybody as me to update though. It reminds me that people still enjoy reading my stories and want me to update to they can read more. It means the world to me and I hope you all enjoy the chapter. Stay safe!)
