hey stranger | g.w.

36

it's almost 10:00 and i'm at the playground

i can't sleep so i decided to go here

but i'm not in the swing,

instead, i'm in the bench facing the road

my phone vibrated

it's from gerard

'i can't sleep :(' it reads

'i'm in the playground' i replied

after a few minutes after i sent that,

i saw a silhouette of a man

the street lamp caught his face,

it's gerard

"you're here," gerard said

i smiled at him

"i can't sleep," i said

he sat next to me

"it's dangerous to be here alone at night, you know"

"it's only dangerous when you're afraid"

"i'm scared for you, y/n," he said

i looked directly into his eyes

"you shouldn't"

i rested my head into his shoulder

neither of us spoke

i yawned

"i'll take you home now, y/n," he said

he picked me up and started walking towards our house

we went to my room

he placed me carefully on my bed and covered my with blanket

"night, y/n," he said

he kissed the top of my forehead and turned off the lamp

i heard the click of the door and i immedietly fell asleep
