Psycho Path

Chapter 5 - Under the moonlight

The driving this time is quiet. Neither one of you said anything. You notice that Gerard has changed the direction because both of you are no longer on the deserted road. There are trees on the left and right side of the road but you are too busy thinking about the news you saw before that you give no care of your whereabout. It's night time already. The dark forest outside gives you this creepy feeling. But Gerard has been driving nonstop. Doesn't he need rest? "Y/n, you okay? You've been so quiet since we left that place." He didn't use sweet nicknames like before. Probably still a little mad at you. You stay silent for a moment before you speak "It was you who did it. But now the police are out there looking for me. The whole world thought it was my fault." You are trying to argue about the false fact but knowing that there is only Gerard around so it's pointless. "See? Now you are involved in this kind of thing. So stop making it hard for both us and communicate. Communication is important now that we are in this." You look at him, giving him the 'oh really' look. "They'll eventually know it's you who did it." Gerard is just humming slowly to himself, as if he doesn't give a care about it.

You guys slowly pull over and you notice that both of you are now on top of a bridge, in the middle of nowhere. At the end of the bridge is just dark woods, the same on the other end. "Gerard, what are we doing here?" You ask him. He just gets out of the car while busy looking on his phone, going near the railings. It seems like he's contacting someone, and standing there is probably the best coverage he could get. You get out as well and approach him. "Ger-" You start but was interrupted by him putting a finger on your lips. "Shh." He is now putting the phone to his ear, waiting for the person on the other line to pick up the phone.

"Eyy, s'up dude." The other person's faint voice can be heard.

"Hey. Umm..listen, Frank." So it's Frank. Of course he wouldn't forget to call his so called best buddy. "I messed up big time. I really2 need your help now. Thought you could meet me at (insert a random city name here). I'll be by the highway, right before the entrance. Oh, and please bring along the emergency stuff." Emergency stuff? What is he up to now.

Frank seems to pick up the seriousness in his tone just now. He obliges without questioning any further. "Copy that." "Thanks bro, you're the best." And with that, they both hung up. Gerard notices that you are still there, standing and staring at him. "Was that Frank?" obviously you already knew the answer. "Yep. He's gonna be a big help to us. You should like him." He is now grinning at you. You just roll your eyes, leaning your back against the car. Gerard copies your action. He slowly slips his hand in yours, intertwining the fingers. You look at both of your intertwined hands now, then look up at him. He is giving that genuine smile again. For a moment, you almost melt into his hazel eyes, illuminating under the moon light. Gerard's actions these past few days confuse you. He would act sweet and lovely, just like when you guys were couples - which you miss a lot. But then, the next second, he's a meanie, going around spitting hurtful words at you, yet at the same time he's possessive over you. He always talks about not letting you go and that he might actually turns crazy if he losses you. Now that is a strange side of him that you've never seen before. You wonder what makes him like that. Does your break up affect him that much? You yourself aren't sure of that. Sometimes, you kinda pity him.

Then you let go of your hand to rub both your arms because it's freezing outside. Gerard notices this. "You want my jacket?" "N-no. I'm f-" You are about to protest but he already slips off his jacket and wraps it around you. You are now hugging the jacket, and notice how close you are to his chest. You lift up your face to look at him. He's already smiling down at you, hugging you. "I miss you." You blurt out without thinking. "Finally, you said that." He chuckles lightly. You can feel the vibration off his chest. Only now realizing what you just said, you bury your face into his chest, hiding the blush. He lifts your face up, "I miss you too. Damn much." Then he kisses your nose. "& I love you." With that said, he kisses you on the lips. The kiss is so gentle that your knees feel weak. Your eyes flutter shut at the gentleness. You're hoping that the moment would last forever. It is indeed a perfect scene. Kissing under the moonlight. Nothing is better than that at the moment.

Soon, both of you pull apart slowly. Eyes slowly opening. He also closed his eyes just now during the kiss. He smiles at you. And for the first time in forever,you return the smile. You'll never know how happy he is to finally make you smile. "One last thing." He said while dipping one of his hand into his back pocket. He takes out his phone. Then throw it forward, down into seems like a stream under the bridge. It's too dark too make out how high the phone falls.You are shocked. "Gerard! Why did you do that??" "Well, we wouldn't want them to trace our whereabouts now would we?" He said with a smirk. He is now making his way into the car. You soon follow him. As both of you are in the car, he starts "I thought you're gonna like it. We are fair and square now. Both of us have lost contact to the outside world." He smirks some more. "I..... have nothing to say." Then he laughs, making you chuckle a bit. He puts his foot on the pedal and you guys are set on another journey.
