Teach Me How to Love Again (Sequel to Dirty Little Secret)

Chapter 75: I'm Jealous of Everybody in the Room

*~(The title of this chapter is from First Date by blink-182.)~*

*~Gerard's P.O.V.~*

Two weeks passed from that day, and everything was fine. Sky and I were still getting along very well. Her loved ones seemed to like me a bit better now, which I was grateful for. They seemed to be starting to forgive me for all the times I treated Sky like shit. They actually came over to visit Sky and I sometimes. Denise visited the most, and she always brought Katie. Katie is such a sweet little girl, and she's really taken a liking to me. I love having her around, especially because she makes Sky so happy.

Frank was a bit more hesitant to visit, but that was okay, because I was a bit hesitant to let him visit. I guess I'm still a bit jealous of him. I mean, I know Sky would never do anything with him, but I still can't help but feel a little tinge of jealousy when he hung around her. He's been over a few times, but it's not usually for very long, and it's usually kind of uncomfortable for both of us.

However, everybody was over right now so they could say goodbye before we left for Jersey. Today was the day we were going there. We were leaving at about 9:00 AM, because our flight was going to depart at 10:00. It was almost 8:00 AM right now.

Frank and his girlfriend were here, as well as Mikey, Kristin, Ray, Chantal, Jimmy, and Kitty. Denise hadn't made it here with Katie yet, but I knew she would eventually.

Skylar gave Frank a long hug, and I felt that familiar tinge of jealousy in the back of my mind. She kissed his cheek, and I frowned. I suddenly found myself feeling very possessive of Skylar, almost as if I were suddenly jealous of everyone here. I tried my best to hide how jealous and upset I was, but apparently, I didn't do a good job.

"You okay there, Gerard? You look a little agitated," Jimmy observed. His voice knocked me out of my internal jealous rage, and I finally stopped glaring at Frank and Sky long enough to turn towards Jimmy.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," I muttered, then I turned back to Sky. I was relieved to see that her and Frank weren't hugging anymore, then I wrapped my arm around her shoulders. I wasn't trying to be possessive, I just couldn't help myself. I made eye contact with Frank's girlfriend, and she slightly laughed at me. She must have known what I was doing, and she must be used to their relationship.

"They're only friends. Don't worry about it. She loves you," she mouthed to me, which I was grateful for. She seemed sweet. We made small talk while Skylar and Frank did.

"I'm Jamia, and I feel like, super awkward right now, because I'm in my teacher's house," she joked, then she shook my hand.

"I'm Gerard," I said. She smiled at me.

"It feels weird using your first name," she admitted, so I laughed.

The next person I talked to was Mikey. "Are you sure you don't need my help in Jersey? I can come with you if you want. I don't want Mom and Dad to kill you."

I chuckled a bit nervously. "No thanks. I'll be fine. I don't want you to protect me. I was a dick, and I deserve to be yelled at. Plus, if it goes bad, I have my lady for support," I said, and I slightly nudged Sky's side. This made her smile at me and quickly peck my cheek. Mikey laughed a little bit, then he turned to talk to Kristin.

Denise finally arrived with Katie, so Sky answered the door for them, and Katie immediately hugged her legs. Sky giggled and knelt down to hug her back. After Katie pulled away, Sky rejoined our group to say the goodbyes.

Now it was time for us to say our final goodbyes, so the first person I hugged was Mikey. He wished me good luck with Mom and Dad once more, then we pulled away. Mikey then hugged Sky and told her to have fun in Jersey, and to take good care of me, then he stepped away. We had a lot of people to say goodbye to in a short amount of time, so we had to do this in a somewhat-orderly fashion.
