I hear a light knock at my door as I'm throwing my makeup, hair tools, and hygiene items in a bag.

"Come in!" I shout over the music I'm blasting. Gerard walks through the door and looks around "Welcome to my room!"

"It's a bit small" He comments

"That's what she said" I say and he laughs "but yes it is, this is how I made the most out of it" I motion to the posters, pictures, and drawings Geo gave me hung around the room

"Did you take these?" He asks pointing at a picture of a sunset I took

"Yeah, that's from when I went to Georgia. My....my mom and dad have old friends that live there and I took that picture. I love photography, but I lost my cameras when I moved around a lot." I tell him

"What type of camera?" He asks

"Polaroid and Nikon" I reply shoving more stuff in the bag

"What about these? Did you draw them?" He points to a drawing Geo made of me when I first came to the home

"No, that's something Geo drew. He's improved a lot from there. Over there are his most recent drawings" I say pointing towards the wall by my closet.

"These are really impressive" Gerard states

"Yeah, I don't get why he thinks he sucks at drawing" I sigh

"Me either" Gerard agrees "do you need any help?"

"If your careful I guess you can put away my guitar. One scratch and I will have your head shish-kabobbed on a tiki torch" I threaten

" You sound like Frank. He can destroy everyone else's stuff but one little scratch on his guitar and he doesn't talk to us for the rest of the week, he usually ends up destroying his guitars anyways" Gerard laughs

"It's my prized possession. I got it for Christmas 2 years ago" I tell him

"You'll have to play us something when we get home" he says

"Okay" I shrug.

After about a half hour of packing everything is ready to go and sitting in my room. I sit down on my old bed and stare blankly at the door, thinking about everything that's about to happen. A few minutes later Geo comes into my room and sits down next to me on the bed. He sits his head on my shoulder and hugs me from the back. "Everything okay?" He asks

"Yeah, just thinking about stuff. Also you're acting like a boyfriend" I reply

"I might as well be. Plus this is comfy and warm" Geo says

"I don't want to leave you" I state

"I don't want you to leave by me either, but we can still see each other and talk every day" Geo tells me

"I guess, it just won't be the same." I sigh and lay down on my bed and stare at the door again. I feel Geo lie down next to me and put his arm around me, burrowing his head in my hair.

"I know, but it will be okay everything works out in the end."

"How are you always so optimistic?" I laugh

"I dunno" Geo says and shrugs. "I have a present for you, but I'll get it later I'm too comfy right now"

"Okay, thank you" I reply yawning and closing my eyes

"Tired?" Geo asks

"Yeah, I packed up really fast and now I'm tired" I yawn again

"Go to sleep. I'll wake you up when Gerard gets back." Geo offers
