Carry On This Way (A Gerard Way Fanfiction)

Chapter 23

~Ally's POV~ 

A tear rolled down my face, but didn't get any further than my cheek bone before Gerard once again, used a thumb to wipe it off. I held the hand that he placed on my cheek,  closing my eyes, more tears rolled down my face. 

He leaned in and kissed me, again. He placed his hands on my waste as I wrapped my arms around the back of his neck. This time, flashing through my head, was what he had done for me in the past. From when he returned my phone, and through it all. I pulled him closer as I thought about it all. 

Pulling away from each other, we rested out foreheads on one another's. 

"I love you." He said in a somewhat quiet voice. 

My head shot up. "You do?" I asked, my gaze upon his gleaming hazel eyes. 

"O-of course." He replied, surprised I even asked. "You knew that Ally." 

"But you've never said it." I had to hug him, how could I not? "Same here." 

We walked down the shoreline, water coming up on our feet as we went, holding hands I leaned on his shoulder. 

************************** 

I woke up the next morning, but I wouldn't be doing much with Gerard today, my mom said I should spend time with the kids, which I wanted to. I tossed my powder blue sheets off, and hopped in the shower for a few minutes. 

I got out, and sat in the warm steam for a moment before putting on a pare of black shorts, that rested a few inches above my knees, followed by a light blue tee. 

I went down stairs to eat some breakfast. 

I looked around and didn't see the kids, just mom and dad. "Where's Kenny and Crystal?" I asked them. 

"Outside playing." Mom replied, not looking up from her magazine. 

I grabbed carton of chocolate milk, and drank some straight from the carton. Popping a piece of toast in my mouth, I heard a knock on the door. "I'll get it." I said, swallowing a piece of toast. 

"Hey, Al." 

"Hey Gerard." I greeted him with. He smiled at me with his bright smile as his jet black messy hair fell in front of his sunglasses. "What are you doing here?" 

"Did you want to do something today?" He asked, stuffing his hands in his pockets. 

"I can't, well like right now." I explained. "I'm going to be doing stuff with the kids today." 

As I said this, a little face peeked out from the side of the house. Her curls and rosy cheeks told me it was Crystal, rather than dark haired and taller Kenny. 

"Hi Crystal." Gerard smiled as he looked behind him, bending down to her height. "What are you doing?" 

She crinkled her face as she turned and grinned at me. "I'm just looking to see who was here." She said in a low voice . 

"You know who it is, right?" I asked, standing next to crouched down Gerard, putting a hand on each of his shoulders. 

"It's Gerard!" She said, blushing and lightly stomping her little feet. 

"Let's go see what Kenny is doing, shall we Crystal?" I asked, taking her hand, Gerard followed close behind. "Kenny?" 

"Up here!" He shouted. I looked up and he was in a tree, it wasn't that high. He was upside down, hanging by his legs. "Shit, Gerard's here." He got down and dusted himself off, as he was embarrassed by Gerard.
