The Walls Have Ears

Gerard's POV (Chapter 31)

"Where on earth did you kids come from?"

Y/N runs over and hugs the old lady speaking to us.

"We were kidnapped, by a very weird doctor, and we've been gone for months, and it was just us, and we haven't seen people in ages, by the way where are we?" Y/N babbled, still out of breath from running.

"Woah, woah, darling What? Kidnapped? I think we're gonna have to drive you two over to the police station," the old man stepped in.

"Yes! Please! " I blurted, really out of breath.

"Where are we?"

"Carpathian,"

"Huh?"

"Ukraine"

We drove for about and hour in the old couples truck, to a small town that was thankfully warmer.

They dropped us off at the police station and talked to the police officers, answering questions.

Y/N and I got blankets, shoes and hot tea. Sitting next to eachother on office chairs.

The police station had a Christmas tree and decorations, so damn we'd really been gone for a while.

We sat huddled up waiting for calls to be made, we were questioned earlier about where we lived and where we were from (man that was a shock) and they asked us how we got to Ukraine but our explanation about a psycho evil scientist that captured us in order to repopulate the earth didn't convince them.

Calls were being made and I suddenly realized something.

"Wait. So if we go back to our families and old lives now...does that mean I won't get to see you again?"

Y/N lifted her head off my shoulder and looked at me with tired eyes.

She opened her mouth to say something, then closed it back up again and kissed me on the nose.

I wrapped my arms around her even tighter and I felt a piece of me inside shatter.

I thought what it would be like to see my mom and brother. Would there be crying? Probably, my mom cries at everything.

Did they miss me? Have they been looking for me? Did they even realise I was gone?

I imagine my mom and Mikey spending late nights in police stations like this, waiting for anyone to call saying they've found a big teenage boy looking lost.

And then I think about Y/N.

I was never looking for a crush, I couldn't even talk to girls before all this happened.

Genuinely convinced no one could love me, I gave up trying ages ago, and then all of a sudden this fairy appears and my life goes through a truly tremendous amount of crazy fuckery.

I don't want her to go. I don't want her to disappear back into a life hundreds of miles away from me. I don't want to lose someone who's managed to make me so happy despite all the shit we've been through.

I pick up a pen and write my email onto her arm, then kiss the top of her head.

"I love you,"

A police man shakes us awake and tells us we'll be flying back home tomorrow morning.

And our families are expecting us.
