Psycho Path

Chapter 14 - You are welcome to join us

The driving to nowhere has been quiet since you guys left (hometown). Too quiet for your liking. So you decide to say something. "Why?" Considering that Mikey is still unconscious, Gerard knows that you are talking to him. "What?" Then you continue "Why did you kidnap Mikey as well?" He keeps quiet for a while. "Y/n,.. after what happened with Frank...I don't think that I have anyone to trust anymore...It's you, and Mikey only now... I believe in you guys." You don't know what to respond to this. Gerard puts one hand on your thigh, looking at you for a brief moment, then focuses his eyes back on the road before he continues, "Mikey knows how to treat you nicely. You guys have been friends like forever. That's why I believe that he could cheer you up, whenever I'm unable to..." He sounded a bit sad at the last remark.

You feel sad at the fact that Gerard himself knows that he could not keep up the sanity within. One time, he treats you like a princess. Other time, you would end up with bruises or scars due to him losing control of himself. But, oh.. How you love the man beside you so much. Sometimes, you think that you are even crazier than him for still having feelings for such man. After all, he was your boyfriend, and you are glad that you guys are back together, sort of. You grab Gerard's hand that was on your thigh and give it a small peck. Gerard turns his head quickly and give you a surprise look as he is not expecting that. "You know what,... I would love to be your girlfriend again." You smile at him but his eyes widen at your statement. "Gerard, I love you." You can see that tears are forming underneath his eyes but his mouth keeps shut, probably still surprised. You lean towards him and kiss him on the cheek. Gerard is breaking down now, touched by each of your meaningful word.

"Y-y/n... you don't have to..you know..." You shush him and wipe his tears stained cheek. "Why would you say that? I'm saying the truth. I love you." Tears keep on falling down his cheeks except that he's smiling now. "Thank you Y/n." With that said, it's his turn to lift your hand up to his lips and give it a small peck. You return his smile, though he couldn't see as his eyes are glued on the road. "Sweetie, can you do me a favor?" He suddenly asks you. "Mhmm?" was your reply. "Could you check on Mikey, whether he has his phone with him or not? It would be hard for us if people could track us through his phone." Gerard said. "Sure thing dear." So you climb onto the backseat, where Mikey is still lying unconscious.

Since Mikey is still not awake, you think he wouldn't mind you sitting on top of him while your hands go all over his body, in attempt to find the device. Your hands go beneath him as you search for his phone in his back pockets. But Mikey's eyes suddenly flutter open. As soon as he's fully awake, he is greeted with your face which is a few inches apart from his. But you are unaware of this since your eyes are busy roaming around, looking for his phone that could be anywhere. His face turns red like a tomato as he can also feel your hands on his butts. "Uhh... hi??" He greets you and you look at him. Now it's your turn to blush. You leap backward and accidentally hit the back of your head on the window. "Ouchh!" You let out a groan. "Is everything okay back there?" Gerard asks while taking a peak through the rear-view mirror. At the same time, Mikey reaches out his hand to check on you. "Hey, you okay ther-" And that is when he notices that both his hands are tied up.

"What is this supposed to mean?!" He raises up his tied hands and look at both you and Gerard. Gerard sighs and says "I'm sorry Mikey, but... you're a part of this team now." Again, his eyes dart from you to Gerard while he raises one of his eyebrows. Gerard continues "I-I thought that I might be needing your support the most.. especially now. And sorry again for what I did. I'm just being cautious, fret that you might ruin our escape plan, unless you promise no harm?" Mikey's attention is fully on you now, giving you a quizzical look as if asking for an explanation. You slightly shake your head, giving him a hint that says 'not the right time for that. just play along.' It may sound impossible but Mikey seems like he got the hint so he opens his mouth. "Uh,.. sure. I promise." Gerard steals a glance at Mikey before his eyes are back on the road. "Y/n, can you untie the rope?" "O-oh, okay." You oblige.

As you free Mikey's hands, he speaks some more. "So...where are we heading to? What's your next plan?" Gerard keeps quiet for a moment while thinking, before he answers his brother. "Well, I guess we could use a break for a night? We'll find a cheap hotel or something." You don't object his idea. It would be nice to have somewhere nice to sleep after a very long and tiring journey. "I think that's great. How bout you Mikey?" Mikey looks at your hopeful face. He feels sorry that you have to go through all these. You deserve at least a beautiful sleep. "I'm fine with that." He answers your question. You smile at him and he does the same. Gerard turns his head to the back a bit and smiles at his brother as well, before asking Mikey about his phone. "Umm... Mikey, do you happen to have your phone with you right now?" Mikey's hand quickly reach into the front pocket where he usually put his phone but there's nothing there. "Uhh... I think I left it in Dad's car." Then Gerard replies, "Good. I hope you don't mind that the three of us won't be using it the whole journey. That would be easier and safer, you know what I mean."

Mikey keeps quiet for a moment. Millions of thoughts are running in his head. 'The police must be thinking that I'm an alibi to Gerard or something. F*ck, I'm a wanted person as well now. What have I gotten myself into??' Despite all the mess, Mikey doesn't have the heart to turn on his brother's back. Growing up together, Gerard had done a lot of things to make sure Mikey stays alive,especially during those days when Mikey struggled with everything that heal most gave up on his life. And now, it's Gerard's turn to have all the support he needed from his brother. "Sure Gerard." says Mikey. Again, Gerard turns to look at Mikey, and smiles. "Thanks bro." You smile to yourself. You always adore their brothership. So, the three of you are now looking for any hotel insight.
