That cheeky emo boy {Gerard way love story}

chapter 4

{Gerards pov}

It was nine o'clock, time for me and mikey to go back home. Mikey took a few cookies from franks counter before we left. Mikey would.

we waved goodbye to Mrs. Iero as left the house. I noticed that the lights from the girls house werent on. Wonder where she went?

Stalker much.

"Thanks for letting us come over frank" I said as we walked out of the gates.

"Yeah yeah get out before my dad sees me hanging out with you guys. He's coming home any minute.

"Whatever" mikey grumbled.

We decided to walk back to the comic book store for a cup of coffee. The lights were still on and but the "open" sign was turned off. Its good that our employees turned it off just in time.

I unlocked the door and we both walked inside the warm store. There was nobody except for one of our workers, ashly, who was vacuming the aisles.

"Thanks ashly. You can go home now" I said kindly

She smiled and put away the vacume. Before she left I gave her a cup of coffee to keep her warm on her way home.

I like to treat my employees right.

As I closed the door, I noticed the girl sitting by the tree again.. okay gerard, now its time. Go now before its too late.

I look at mikey who was far into the catwoman comic book.

I put on my hoodie and walk outside towards the girl.

"Hey" I said giving her a smile

"Hello. Hey aren't you that boy that was with frank this afternoon?"

She took off her earphones and put her ipod away.

"Yeah that was me"

"Gosh frank is such a jerk. Yesterday he threw paintballs on our windows from his grandmas house. I don't know how you can stand him"

"Yeah he is a jerk. Sometimes I ask myself why do I hang out with him?"

She giggled a bit and looked up at me "I'm peyton. What's your name?"

"I'm gerard."

"Nice to meet you gerard. So I see you like iron maiden" she said pointing to my shirt.

"Oh yeah they're pretty cool"

"Yeah they are. If you want you can come and sit next to me"

She patted the empty space next to her. Oh gosh my heart just melted a bit. I sat down closely to her on purpose but she didnt seem to mind. "Peyton?" I asked her

"Yes gerard?"

" why do you always come here looking so sad?"

She sighed and looked down at her hands. "My parents always argue with me so to avoid that I always come here to listen to music. Sometimes I even have to skip dinner because they'll just babble about me all day. They won't even bother to talk about my brothers and sisters its not fair. I just hate how my parents expect me to be the best. I mean I wanna be the best but I don't want to follow what they want for me.

I wanna do what I wanna do"

"Then why don't you just tell them that?"

"They won't listen to me and plus I'm kind of... kind of... scared of my parents"

She looked up at me with a sad look in her eyes. I feel so terrible for her. I remember when my parents were exactly like that with mikey until I told him to stand up for himself.

"Well there's something you gotta do. You can't just let them control you. At some time you've got to control them"

She nodded and smiled. " you're right, I should."

"Are you gonna go home right now" I asked her

"No. My home is the last place I wanna be right now"

"Well there is one place waiting for you" I said as I got up and held my out so I could help her get up.

she looked at my hand then grabbed it.

"Where?" She chuckled.

"Would you like to sleep over my house?"

"Sure. I'd love to"

She grabbed my hand tightly as we walked to the comic book store. Wow all in one night and I'm already grabbing her hand. I feel like the luckiest guy in the world. Mikey looked up and nearly dropped his coffee when he saw me and peyton holdings. He got up quickly fixing his shirt.

" hi I-im m-mikey" he said nervously.

"I'm peyton. I thought this store was closed" she said, her eyes wondering around the store.

"It is. We own this store so we close whenever"

"That's so cool!" She said excitedly.

"Will you excuse us for a second?" Said mikey as he pushed me back into the store.

"Dude, you are like a hero to me!" He said happily

"Um... why?"

"I didn't know you could win girls that fast. Tell me, how do you do it?"

"I just said hi, she said hey, she told me her name, I told her mine, then she liked my sh-"

"Ugh shut up I'm already bored!" He said

"Although she is coming to sleep over"

Mikeys jaw dropped and he jumped around like crazy. Eh what the heck, I decided to join him and act like crazy fangirls. Ahem, I mean fanboys.

********

We walked all the way back home. Me still holding peytons hand and mikey holding his coffee. He needs a girlfriend as well. Wait but who told you peytons your girlfriend? You havnt even hugged or kissed her yet.

We finally reached our old one story house. Nothing you can compare to franks. "Aw your house is so cute" she said. We still had our christmas lights on the ceiling since last year. It looks retarted.

She's probably lyieng. This house is a piece of crap and my parents are too busy to remodel it. Mom and dad weren't home so it was time to start a fun sleepover. Mikey took out the sodas and I took out the chips.

"Your house is so warm" peyton said as she jumped on the couch. She wouldn't stop admiring the house.

The three of us walked into the living room, grabbed a blanket, put on a movie, and ate pure junk food. The three of us sat together on the couch with the blanket covering our legs. Perfect thing to do on a winter night.

"I wish I could do this at home but my mom says .TV damages you and junk food is disgusting"

We looked at her with nasty looks. "What?" She said awkwardly.

"You need to take your parents out more" mikey said

"They don't have time for that. They don't even have time to cook a freaking egg"

"Well don't worry. Me and mikey will always have time for you right mikey?"

"Yep"

She smiled and layed her head on my legs. She's so kind and heart warming. Who knew girls like her would be so sweet. Not bratty and selfish like frank. I ran my hands through her hair throughout the whole movie. I guess that relaxed her since she ended up falling asleep still on my legs.

Today was a good day...

Yeah it was
