Two Weeks Later

"I don't recall." I lied straight through my teeth as Kailyn tried to reminisce with me about the days when I actually trusted her. I was sitting at the fountain waiting for Pete for the last hour and he didn't even bother to show.

Next thing I know, Kailyn just happened to be around and now she's trying to slither back in but I'm not having it. I've been staring blankly while daydreaming as she tries to tell me about the 'good days'.

Truth be told I don't think I've had a single good day at this god forsaken college, and I didn't see a good day in my future with no friends and Gerard dating Lindsey. I was so on the brink of going home.

"It's been nice listening to your blabbering but I'm leaving bye." I got up and speed walked away from Kailyn before she could protest, walking back to my dorm which held every single snack my fatass desired at the moment. I just wanted to put myself in a food coma and wake up with Gerard by my side.

Weird huh?

For a girl that didn't want anything to do with him, I can't stand the sight of him with a girl that isn't me, oddly enough. I wanted the privilege of being the only girl he could ever possibly want. I wish I could rewind back to when we first met and just fucking run away and never look back.

Seeing him be happy with someone who isn't me is like a stab to the chest especially since he knows how I feel. The fact that he acts like it's fine is the twisting of said knife and I'm running out of hearts to replace after he keeps breaking them.

I couldn't help but feel this way, I'm human, even though I don't act like it, I do indeed have a soul, feelings, and a heart that is gonna get broken eventually by Mr. Way the fuck boy.

I couldn't be bothered to go to my own dorm so I went to Pete's to yell at him for his little stunt to try and get me to befriend Kailyn again...... I knew it was a terrible scheme the second I saw her walk over to me.

A few excruciating flights of stairs later since I was too lazy to take the elevator, and I was finally on his floor.

With my lungs feeling like they were gonna explode I banged on his door with my fist, before letting my hands rest in my knees as I crouched down, trying to fit in as much air in my lungs as humanly possible.

After a few impatient moments of shuffling, the door finally opened and I was faced with Pete, pencil eyeliner in hand. He gave me a guilty smile and I rolled my eyes, pushing past him into his dorm so I could collapse on his bed.

And I did.

"Wow, make yourself at home." Pete muttered sarcastically as I rolled around his bed, I felt like I was on a cloud. Even if it was a cloud of despair.

I sighed contently before sitting up straight, "you're not slick, Wentz. I know you pulled that stunt, and it failed, my guy." I smiled at his disappointed face. I guess he felt obliged to help her fix our friendship since he cheated but I'm not here for it.

"You have to give her another chance, Phoenix, she didn't mean to sleep with-"

I put my hand up to silence him, already feeling bile rush up my throat, "stop. She did what she did and now she has to deal with the consequences like any other person, Pete. Although I do appreciate what you're doing for her."

He nodded, "I just still feel bad. I know seeing me with Mikey isn't easy for her." Be sat down next to me. Although this was not a time to be smiling, the thought of him and Mikey holding hands made me all sunshine and rainbows inside.

"What are tou smiling about?" Pete raised an eyebrow, looking at me suspiciously.

I shook my head, "nothing. Just the thought of Petekey being adorable irl." I squealed.

"Petekey?!" Pete's face went red, "we have a ship name?"

I patted his shoulder, "you do now."

He put his head in his hands, and groaned. I giggled and pulled myself together, heading for the door.

'I'll see you in class buddy ok pal, but for now I gotta brace myself for the putridness I'll be dealing with in my own dorm room." I sighed, waving to him and leaving.

I would've stayed longer but seeing as it was getting late I wanted to go sleep so I could hurry up and dream of me being the girl Gerard was hopelessly in love with.

"Ew." I slapped myself, "what's gotten into you, Phoenix?" I mumbled to myself as I opened the door to my dorm, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding when I found it empty for once.

I looked around and found a note on Gerard's bed.

Skeptical, I picked it up. My name was written messily on the front in Gerard's handwriting. I flipped it over and squinted.

I'm staying in Lindsey's dorm for a few days while her roommate is out of town, I know you won't mind so I just wanted to let you know just in case you get worried about me (;

-Gee

Grimacing, I crumpled it up and grew it on the floor, missing the trash can by a few feet. It'd be weird without another person in the room as I slept, but at least I'd be able cry without worrying how loud I'm being.

I hate to admit it, but I'm hopelessly falling for Gerard. The Gerard I knew, anyways.

The Gerard I knew was the funny, caring, artistic, and creative boy who just so happened to know how to please a girl. I don't like this Gerard at all.

Now it's not just about how I feel about him. It's about getting the old Gee back. I don't know what happened or who happened, but I'm gonna get him back.

No matter what scheme it takes, or who's help I need.
