Psycho Path

Chapter 6 - Meeting Frank... and a shocking truth

You are snuggling closer into Gerard's jacket. The smell reminds you of home - and home is whenever Gerard is around. You try covering yourself more as you feel colder. You could feel the wind blowing towards your face. What the heck? 'Who opened the window?' you thought. You sleepily open your eyes and is surprised to be met by a pair of hazel eyes, but they don't belong to Gerard. The other person has been staring at your sleeping figure from outside the car, while he rests his arms on the rolled down window and that creeps you out. "Wakey wakey beautiful." Said the person. His voice sounds familiar. And that's when it clicks, it's Frank. You are slightly taken aback, then rub your eyes. "W-where's Gerard?" You ask, still kinda hiding a part of your face in Gerard's jacket. Being awaken by a stranger who stares at you while you sleep is not normal, okay people. "He's over there, don't worry about him. We've got the whole time to ourselves." He ended with a wink. What the heck is wrong with this guy? What a freak!

Suddenly you hear Gerard "Frank, is she awake yet? C'mon we've got not much time." Your eyes scan the surrounding and lay upon Gerard's figure, his back facing you. He seems like working on something inside the boot of a car, parked not far in front of Gerard's. Judging from the situation, it seems like Gerard had asked Frank to wake you up, while he's busy doing God knows what. Annoyed by the way you are awaken, you open the door, want to find out what Gerard is up to by yourself. "Move." You say to Frank in a cold tone. You push the door a bit harsher and hit Frank. "Ow. Is that a right way for a pretty lady to behave?" Frank is smirking now, slightly rubbing the part where the door hit him on his thigh. You roll your eyes and get out of the car, walking pass him, ignoring his stare on your... 'Was he looking at my ass?!' You shrug the thought off, not in the mood to mess up with him.

As you approach Gerard, you take a look on what's inside. You can't believe what he's holding. Gun. Lots of guns actually, inside a grey case. You stumble backward and make an audible sound. That's when Gerard notice your presence, and a pang of guilt hit him. Gerard knows that you'll probably be sad to know that he's involved in such stuff. "Y-you...you....." You try to make a sentence out, but find it suddenly very hard to do so. Your hands are shaking as you slightly raise one of them and point it towards all the guns. "Y-y/n.....I ..." That's when Frank comes and stares at both of you.

He senses the awkward atmosphere and decides to say some dumb things. "Dude, she didn't know that you play with all these stuff? You seriously never told her bout this??" You turn your face to look at Frank. Frank looks like he just realized that he said the wrong thing at the wrong time. Unable to look at you, he puts his face down. Then, you look back at Gerard. Gerard is now also looking at the ground. You feel tears start to form beneath your eyes.

"What's the meaning of all these Gerard?!" You slightly raise your voice. Gerard keeps quiet. He knows that he has nothing to say to defend himself. "I can't believe that my ex-BOYFRIEND plays with guns!!! You're a murderer!! It must be easy for you when you killed Ray, am I right?!" And that's when you feel a hand flying hard onto your cheek, leaving a huge red mark there. It's probably going to form a bruise by morning. The collision was so impactful that you are thrown onto the ground. You are surprised. That was the first time Gerard had ever done something like that - a very strong slap that the pain is still there, hurting your cheek, your whole body, and the most painful part; your heart. Your face is facing down. Droplets of tears falling onto the ground while your hand stick to your red cheek, attempting to heal the pain but to your unfortunate, nothing feels better.

Gerard grab both of your arms, making you yelp in pain while you stand on your feet. "Listen here!! I don't like a single thing you said just now!! You better feel sorry for what you said!!! You do know that I had to do that!! To kill Ray!!! Coz I f*ckng love you!!!!!" There he goes again. Saying that he f*cking loves you. Making it as an excuse for him to kill anyone he likes. He has this weird way of expressing his feelings. Why can't he show it like any other normal people would?? That's it. That explains everything. Gerard is a psycho. He's not normal. He can't think like normal people. A part of you suddenly feel sympathy towards him. The tears on your face now is no longer due to the pain before. It is now because you've come to realize that your lover of life once, is a mad man.

You stare into his eyes. They are losing the shines. They are now a pair of blank,empty space. This makes your tears to keep on rolling down your cheeks. Then Gerard lead you by the arms, and shoves you into the other car, which you believe, belongs to Frank. His grip on your arms just now was so powerful that you think another pair of bruise might form there as well. As you sit on the back seat, you are staring into nothingness. Still feeling sad for Gerard,crying your heart out for him. Gerard slams the door close, walking towards the driver seat. "Are you coming or not?" He yells at Frank who stays put on that same spot from before. Frank himself is also surprised by what happened just now. Snapped out of reality, he quickly makes his way towards the passenger seat, beside Gerard. As he gets into the car, he steals a glance at you. Anyone who sees you in this condition right now would probably feel sorry, that's what Frank feels as well. Then he looks at Gerard. "Where to, Gerard?" "We are staying in the city for a while. We'll find some hotel to stay for tonight."With that said, he drives towards the city up front.
