This Time, I Mean It ( Sequel to Lost In Your Hazel Eyes)

What The Hell?!

** Liz's POV **

I stepped out of our tour bus and took in the fresh morning air.  I took a sip from my cup of coffee as I started to feel my eyes start to close from staying up late with Gerard last night. I sat down on a bench and chuckled to myself as I remembered the events of last night. We went to watch Eclipse and ended up laughing all the way back to My Chem's bus all because of Kristen Stewart's priceless expressions.

We stayed up the rest of the night, talking about how our first and only year of college was like. Gerard told me all about his awesome year at that art school he's always been talking about. He told me how he got to finish Umbrella Academy which was going to be published quite soon. I told him about how I met Fern, Max and Henry and about the time when we were picked  by Eyeball Records. 

We talked like we've been best friends the whole time. It was as if nothing had happened and I was thankful. I was so thankful that I had my best friend back and that everything was back to the way it should. 

" You okay, Liz?" Gerard asks, stepping out of his bus and sitting down beside me.

" Huh-- Oh yeah." I say, shaking my head to wake myself up and taking a sip of my coffee once more.

" You sure? You were kinda creeping me out a bit when you were sitting there alone and smilling at the ground. " he says, eyeing me cautiously.

" I was just thinking--about how bad your breath stinks." I say, covering my nose and pretending to look grossed out.

Gerard immediately turns away and tests his breath with his hand. 

" Geez, Geetard. I was just kidding." I say, rolling my eyes and grinning.

" Someday, I'm gonna get you for that, Allen." he says, nudging me and chuckling.

" So... I haven't heard from Jamia or Alicia since um... well.. that day. How have they been? Are they still dating Frank and Mikes?" I ask, starting to miss  my  childhood friends already. 

" They're pretty much the same. They haven't changed one bit even after high school. Of course they're still dating Frank and Mikey. In fact, they called a few days ago, saying that they were coming tomorrow and that---Fuck." Gerard suddenly stops, hitting his palm against his forehead and shutting his eyes in realization.

" What?" I ask, confused.

" Well after they found out that you were going on tour with us, they wanted to come over and see you. It was supposed to be a surprise but... nevermind." he says, sighing and continuosly facepalming himself.

" Well that sounds like fun. Hehe... you never were good at surprises, Gee."  I say, glad that Alicia and Jamia were going to visit. 

" Meh..." Gerard mutters.

I give a chuckle and check the time.

" Well I better get the guys ready for sound check. I'll see you in a bit. " I say, hugging him for no reason at all. 

Well...maybe to him it wasn't for any reason but to me, it was to just to know the feeling of his arms wrapped around me like they always used to. When his arms eventually wrapped around me, I felt a sense of relief and i felt warmth rush through me as memories came pouring back. I smiled as I remembered those times when we were....when we were... No! I can't do this. I immediately pulled away from him and we exchanged awkward glances.

" Ahem... See ya." I mumble, immediately turning away from him and heading inside my bus to wake up Fern, Max and Henry, feeling Gerard stare after me.

I've already told myself that having certain feelings towards someone would be the last thing on my mind. Especially feelings towards HIM.  I couldn't let myself get hurt again. I know I can't afford that but then...

What the hell just happened???

A/N:

I'm sorry for a waaaay shorter chapter but I just wanted to update tonight for all of your sakes. At least on the bright side, there'd be more chapters for me to write. Hopefully i'll get the plot sorted out soon. (My original plot turned out to be too cliche...) Again, if you guys have suggestions please tell me! :))

Love you all and don't forget to comment and vote! xoxox
