Demolition Lovers (Gerard Way Vampire FanFiction)

42- "A Feeling That's Worth Fighting For"

-the title of this chapter is from Ritual by Black Veil Brides-

*Gerard's POV*

We all returned home after the fight. The one person we really wanted dead got away. He can come back any minute. We all plan to have at least one person awake at all times just in case he comes back.

Emily and I are laying in our bed. Her head is laying on my chest, quiet sobs escaping her frail body. She was still covered in blood from the fight.

Luna isn't awake yet. She's laying in her room. Frank is in there with her, and he's not leaving until she wakes up.

We buried Bob under the willow tree. Ray and Mikey dug the grave. I comforted Emily while Frank stayed by Luna's side.

Mikey ended up breaking down when we buried Bob.

Flashback~

Mikey and Ray slowly lowered Bob's body into the newly dug grave. Ray picked up the shovel and began covering Bob's body. Small sobs could be heard from Ray. Mikey picked up his shovel.

Instead of helping Ray cover Bob's body he threw the shovel, cracking a gravestone. Mikey dropped to the ground and started violently sobbing. Emily let go of me and went to Mikey. She leaned down to him and engulfed him in a hug. He hugged her back tightly, crying on her shoulder.

I went over to the two. I tapped Emily's shoulder. She let go of Mikey and went to be with her brother. I crouched down to Mikey. I quickly pulled him into a hug, letting him cry on me.

"It's okay baby brother. It's okay." I cooed to him.

This reminded me so much of our grandmothers death. Pushing my emotions aside to take care of my brother who needed me.

I'm not leaving my baby brother ever...

End of flashback~

Emily quickly got up off of me and walked to her closet. She grabbed a pair of leggings and a Nirvana t-shirt. She grabbed a couple of other things and left the room.

I heard water start running in the bathroom, she was in the shower. I heard sobs progressively get louder in the bathroom.

I couldn't do anything. I just laid in bed and listened to the sobs. I couldn't take it anymore, I got up and walked to the bathroom.

  I knocked on the door.

  "Sugar? Can I come in?" I asked.

  Her cries died down to sniffling.

  "Yeah, sure." She whimpered out.

  I opened the bathroom door. The shower had glass sliding doors so I could see her. She was curled up in a fetal position, sitting on the shower floor.

  'This is all my fault' she thought.

  I opened the shower door, not caring that my clothes were being drenched.

  "Listen to me. None of this was your fault. I know you think it is your fault. You think that you ruined everything whenever you came back into our lives. I'm telling you this now, Frank was fucking breaking apart from the inside out. Knowing he left his little sister behind. I was breaking knowing I had to leave behind the girl I loved and protected from Andy for an entire year. I fucking love you Emily Iero. So don't you dare think again that you caused any of this. You didn't cause Bob's death. You didn't do anything like that." I ranted.

  Emily looked up at me, tears still brimming in her eyes. She broke out into sobs, throwing her arms around my neck and hugging me.

  "I'm so sorry..." she apologized.

  "Don't apologize. Come on, get dressed and we can go check on Luna." I said.

  She nodded her head. I turned off the shower and picked her up. I stood her up on her feet and reached over to grab a towel. I put the towel around her shoulders and held it there.

  "Get dressed. I'll be outside the door waiting for you. We can check on Luna. You should rest too." I advised her.

  She nodded. I walked out of the bathroom and closed the door. I leaned against the wall and waited for her to come out of the bathroom.

  A few minutes later Emily came out, her hair still drenched and stained a light pink in certain spots from blood.

  I put my arm around her and guided her to Luna's room. I knocked on the door waiting for some kind of answer.

  "She's still not awake." Frank informed us.

  Emily just turned around and headed for our bedroom. I followed after her. Emily immediately got under the blankets of the bed and curled up.

  I quickly changed out of my drenched clothes to a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt.

  I laid down next to her, wrapping my arms around her and pulling her closer to me.

  "This isn't your fault." I reminded her.

  She opened her eyes. She leaned upwards and gave me a quick peck on the lips.

  "I love you." She said.

  "I love you too." I said back.

  She nuzzled her face into my chest and closed her eyes. I kissed her on the top of her head and closed my eyes.

  Within a few minutes I heard soft breathing coming from her. I pulled her closer to me, falling asleep shortly afterwards.
