Demolition Lovers [[GERARD WAY FANFIC]]

And On This Weeks Episode of CSI...

-Beth's POV-

I packed my books into my backpack as I looked around my now paper-cluttered room. Classes had started and my stress level had never been higher. Books were piled on my bed and desk, and random pages of notes were scattered about.

Ever since Eric and I had our fight, of which ended with me sleeping in the car that night because I didn't want to go back inside, we'd been sort of avoiding eachother. I was angry at him for continuing to lie to me.

Heck, I was just constantly angry now. It'd only been about a week since what happened on orientation day, but it'd been enough. Nathan and I weren't even speaking now.

And Gerard...

I couldn't stop thinking about Gerard. I was scared of him, but I didn't care. His words were constantly echoing in my mind, and my lips hadn't stopped tingling from when he kissed me. There were actually bruises still on my hips and wrists from where he held me, but, yet again, I didn't care. Just the feeling I got when I was around him... I felt so---unafraid. I knew Gerard was a cocky jerk, but I couldn't get enough of the feeling I got when I was around him. It was intoxicating.

He was intoxicating.

I wanted to know why everyone was so against me even being around him. Could one person really be so dangerous? I already knew the answer to that question. Of course. Humans were capable of all sorts of wicked things, they just had to find their breaking point.

And I couldn't help but wonder what Gerard's breaking point had been.

I shook my head as I packed the rest of my bag. He was still lying to me though. They were all still lying to me.

I slung my bag over my shoulder as I walked out of my room and into the kitchen. Unfortunately Eric was already there, eating a bowl of cereal before he glanced up at me.

I just walked past him and leaned up against the door. "Can you hurry up? I've got class at 9:30."

"What, no breakfast?" He glared.

"I'm not hungry."

He scoffed. "Whatever helps you sleep at night."

I pursed my lips. "Look, I just need to go now so unless you want me to take the car and leave you here to walk, I suggest we leave now."

He raised his eyebrows and sighed. "How long are we going to do this Beth? You're acting like a fucking child."

"Yeah well this 'child' is going to go drive herself to class now!" I spat at him, going out the door and slamming it. I didn't even make it to the car though before I heard Eric behind me. I went ahead and sat in the passengers seat. Eric got in and began driving silently.

"Look how long are you going to be pissed over this-" he tried to start.

I scoffed. "How long Eric? Im going to be mad until someone tells me the freaking truth around here! Being around you guys is like being in an episode of CSI or something! I mean for the love of god you all act like you've got a body in your trunk or something! No one will tell me how you know eachother, and apparently everyone's past is also a mysterious secret! So yeah, as long as I'm living with the 'usual suspects' here, I'm going to be pretty angry!" I spat, glaring at him.

"Ha well no ones forcing you to live with me Beth! Why don't you go ahead and go off on your own, huh? Yeah you're already falling off the fucking rails, I'd like to see how much it'd speed up if you didn't have me!"

I ground my teeth. "What did you just say to me?" I seethed, clenching my fists.

"Yeah, you heard me Beth! I don't care if you want to admit it or not, you're s goddamn train wreck! No, scratch that, you're a fucking plane crash! And um who has been there for you the past couple of years? Who has talked you out of multiple suicide attempts? Face it Beth, I keep you together!"
