The Light Behind your Eyes (shines brighter than ever.)

Finding my Way.

   Gerard looked at me painfully and soon stood before me.

   He silently cupped my face in his hands and looked into my eyes. His were shining brilliant shades of hazel and glossed over as if he was teary eyed.

   Gently and slowly he moved his right hand to my side and came an inch from my lips.

   "I'm sorry," he said in a soft whisper and his lips then passionately collided with mine.

   He kept me wrapped into the kiss with no possible way to escape him and continued to kiss me getting rougher and rougher. At first I tried to protest but soon I didn't care. Though his breath smelled of alcohol I still didn't stop kissing him.

   I heard Frank exit the area and noticed soon that we were all alone.

   As the kiss deepened and he got even more obsessed with the idea of touching me I grew less and less comfortable. when his hand clutched my hip I immediately slapped him off.

   He stopped kissing me and seemed confused.

   "You were all about it last night," he reminded me.

   "I know but... I'm... stupid!" I said giggling.

   "No you're not. I completely understand why you wouldn't want to now though. and I also completely understand if you don't want to take me back but at least consider..." he said being cut off by me.

   I wrapped my arms around him and squeezed him into a hug.

   "Don't leave me... ever," I said looking up at him.

   "just know if you ever need anything I'll always be here for you," Gerard said pecking my forehead.

   I smiled a little bit and buried my head in his chest.

   "I will only leave when you tell me to. I promise you that," Gerard added resting his chin on my head.

   He pulled away for a second and looked me over smiling.

    "Ha, look at you! I feel horrible dating a teenager. but I can't say that I don't enjoy it." he smiled weakly.

   "FYI, I would never push you away. ever. I just want you to know that," I said holding his hand.

   "I love you April," he said rubbing my hand with his thumb.

   "I love you too, more than you could ever know!" I said falling against him.

   He had a steady heart beat which soothed me and made me feel safe with him. his arms were around my waist keeping me warm and as if preventing anything from ever hurting me.

   "We should probably get back to the guys before they start thinking about things and drawing conclusions," he laughed.

   We walked awkwardly into the front room and sat next to each other on the couch, him on my right and Mikey to my left.

   "Looks like Cinderella found her Prince Charming..." Bob said quietly.

   Everyone looked at him disapprovingly and I heard a few sighs coming from Ray as he was forced to endure the fairy tale reference.

    "Bob, just... no," I laughed quietly.

    "I was just tryin to lighten the mood... Jesus!" he said blushing.

    "Watch your language!" Mikey advised jokingly ," we have a minor in the room."

    I gave Mikey the death stare as he smirked at me mockingly and stuck his tongue out at me.
