Let Me Be The One To Save You

Chapter 10

Gerard's P.O.V

I walked upstairs to my bedroom. As I passed Venuses door I paused. No point knocking. She won't answer. I'm a idiot. I don't regret the camera's. I was only using them to make sure she didn't do anything stupid. What I do regret is not ensuring they were waterproof. But then I wasn't expecting to have a water fight. I lean against the wall by her door. "I'm sorry, Vee." I call out to her. "I don't regret the camera's. I just wanted to keep you safe. I actually forgot about them after we had fun together. I haven't even bothered about them in a while."

"You don't honestly think I believe you, do you?" Venus shouted through the door. "Your a liar. Leave me alone."

I sigh and head into my bedroom, closing the door behind me. I get dressed in a dark green misfits t-shirt, black skinny jeans and red converse. Then I sit on the bed and call Ray. He answers straight away.

Ray: "Hey, dude. I was just about to call you."

Me: "What for?"

Ray: "Hey man. You sound a little pissed. It'll wait. What's up?

I sigh. Where do I start?

Me: "She found the camera in the kitchen."

Ray: "What? How?"

Me: "We kind of had a water fight. The towel set on fire. I think the camera must have got wet and sparked up, setting the towel alight."

Ray: "Shit. I should have insisted on waterproof camera's."

Me: "Not your fault."

Ray: "How did she react?"

Me: "She locked herself in her room. After insulting me first."

Ray: "I'm sorry man. Wait you don't think she's gonna try...ya know..."

Me: "I need to make sure she doesn't. I can see on the portable monitor that she's just laid on the bed with her arm over her eyes. So she's not trying anything yet....Wait...I need to speak to Christa."

Ray: "Wait. Your MY friend but you want to talk to my WIFE? Traitor."

I laugh as he shouts Christa. Two hours later, I am still sat on my bed with a smile on my face and a writing pad infront of me with a to do list two pages long. Top of list, call Mikey. This is going to be epic.

Venus P.O.V

Time Lapse >>>>>>>>>>

One week later.

I quit counting down the days after me and Gerard got close. Because I trusted him. But he betrayed me. He let me down. Fuck this. I get changed into a long, flowing black skirt. A black thin strap top and see through black shirt. I put on a pair of black knee high stockings and black ankle boots. Then I applied a little bit of black mascara. All set for work. The only times I have left my room over the past week was to get food and go to work. I was working in the afternoon's too now. Singing for the business men and women. Gerard had tried to speak to me. But I ignored him. I'll ask Barry if I can move in to his spare room until I find somewhere else. I can't stay here. I head out the bedroom door with my wallet and mobile in my hand. When I get to the bottom of the stairs, Gerard steps out of the kitchen. I don't even look at him. Instead I open the front door and shout, "I'm off to work." Over my shoulder.

Gerard's P.O.V

I watch Venus walk out the front door. I've tried to talk to her every day for a week. The only things she said to me was, "I'm just getting food." and "I'm off to work." That's it. I guess if she's at work, I have time to prepare. I smile as I head upstairs to change. Right. Venuses favourite mcr era outfit is revenge era. So black suit with red tie. God I hope this works.
