Bullet Proof Heart

005

I woke up feeling a pair of strong arms around my waste. Oh no! I think. I sit up straight causing a massive pain in my head. I turn my head and see Gerard sleeping peacefully next to me.

"Gee." I whisper, nudging him carefully.

"Mmm?" he groans.

"Gee, wake up! I accidently stayed the night! My mom is gonna kill me!" I say more forcefully.

Gerard's eyes flutter open and he looks at me calmly, "Vanya, it's gonna be fine."

"No! My mom-"

"Shh, I'm so hung over."

I roll my eyes and jump off the bed and head out of the beedroom door.

"Vanya wait!" Gerard protests, but I keep walking.

I walk into my house and quietly close the door behind me. My mom is sitting on the living room couch.

"Did you have fun?" she asks in a strained voice.

"um, yeah" I mumble.

"Where were you last night? You didnt come home."

"I slept over at Charlotte's last night." I lie.

"DON'T LIE TO ME!" She shouts.

"What?"

"I SAW YOU LEAVING THAT BOY'S HOUSE TEN SECONDS AGO!"

"Mom, listen, we didn't do anything."

"HOW CAN I BELIEVE YOU?! YOU JUST LIED TO ME!"

"Mom I promi-"

"JUST GET OUT OF HERE!"

"Mom I swe-"

"GO!"

I run out of the house crying.

~

I was running. Running to who knows where. I stopped running and just stood in the middle of the street crying. Someone came up behind me and hugged me.

"Vanya?" a soft voice asked.

"Gee?"

"I'm here."

I turn around and hug him.

"Shh. Why are you crying?"

"I told you! My mom was so mad!" I wail.

"Don't cry" he pleads.

"I can't help it!"

At that moment I felt his lips touch mine. The kiss was soft and left me breathless.

"No more crying." Gereard says and all I could do was nod.
