we walked through the trees in the dark until we came to a clearing, where my car was parked. i unlocked it as we approached and gestured to gerard to get in. i turned on the engine, listening for the familiar noises of my old car to start up. when it finally did, i backed up slowly out of the clearing, as if we hadn't been there at all.
"you'll have to sleep on the couch i'm afraid, unless ray gives you his room." i told gerard as we pulled up outside the house. "ray?" "yeah my roommate." i explained. "you never told me you had a roommate" grumbled gerard. "don't worry," i assured him. "you'll like him."
i unlocked the door and set the keys down on a little hall table. "ray?" i called, "i'm home!" "it's 3 in the morning." sighed gerard. "he's probably asleep." i turned to him. "i highly doubt that."
i ran up the stairs with gerard following behind. we walked into ray's room where we found him engrossed in a game of guitar hero. "ray it's like 3am, why are you playing this?" i laughed, "bob's even better than you when you're actually awake." ray simply shrugged and turned around, noticing gerard who was awkwardly standing in the doorway.
"who's this?" he asked, gesturing towards gerard. "ray this is gerard, he needs a place to stay." i explained. ray smiled and stood up. "hey gerard," he greeted as he extended his hand which gerard shook. "hey." gerard said almost whispering.
"okay well i'm gonna set up the couch for gerard, night ray." i said and we awkwardly left the room."wait here," i told gerard and i went to my room to grab some blankets and a pillow. we went downstairs and i laid the blanket on the couch and handed him the pillow. "thank you."
i smiled and started to walk upstairs. "goodnight gerard." i said. "goodnight frank." he said so quietly it was barely audible.
