Helenas POV

His words repeated through my brain whilst I laid in my bed.

You're the only hope for me Helena

You're the only hope for me Helena

You're the only hope for me Helena

What was that even supposed to mean? God, from my experiance with Gerard he's so difficult to work out but when you do finally figure it out, it was either really obvious or youre dead because it took you forever. I force my eyes shut, trying to get some kind of sleep but to no avail. Im still awake. I hop out of bed and slide on my ass downstairs. I remembered that Lucee had some 'Gutter crutches' when she broke one of her arms and her left foot by falling down a flight of stairs. I grabbed a jacket and the crutches and headed out.

The crutches were pretty good and I could use them for some stuff but id still need the wheelchair for some things. The polluted, New Jersey air, blew my hair out of my face and I closed my eyes for a while, taking in the chilly atmosphere.

"Helena?" I heard someone call from behind me. It was Mikey. I turn around and shoot a smile at him. He runs towards me and pushes up his glasses at the same time.

"What are you doing out so late?" He asks.

"I should ask you the same thing." He chuckles. "Im being serious." He said, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Just thinking, Gerard said something to me then walked out and hasnt come out of his room since."

"What did he say?" He asked, with curiosity dripping from his tongue.

"That I was the only hope for him." I sighed. I wonder if he meant it. Mikey grinned wide.

"He so likes you..." He groaned. I giggled.

"He does not!" I defended, my cheeks turning pink.

"And you like him." He says matter-of-a-factly. I shake my head.

But was Mikey right? Did I still love him like I did two years ago?

We walked back to the house and Mikey helped me up the stairs. I dumped the crutches in my room and limped to Gerards room. I knocked on the door and to my suprise. I heard a soft, "Come in"

I opened the door and whipped off my jacket and threw it on a chair next to the door.

"Hey." I said, walking upto him. He was drawing. But he wasnt drawing Marvel or other comic book heroes. He was drawing a sketch of girl. A girl with blue hair, with green eyes. She was wearing a hospital gown and there was a boy with Raven hair and dark eyeliner. I looked closer. This felt familiar.

This was me and Gerard at the hospital. I looked further down and it had the words.

"The only hope for me is you." In cursive writing. Oh my goodness.

"Its beautiful, Gee...." I gasped, he swung around and his cheeks turned a bright red.

"Sorry I--Uh. I-Uh" he tried to make an excuse for drawing us.

"Its okay Gee! I love it." He blushed and pulled me onto his lap. I stared some more at the drawing. It was beautiful. He got all details on my face right and it all looked amazing. I pulled him in and hugged him tightly.

"God I love you Lana...." He mumbled. I passed it off as a friendly love.

"You too Gee." I smiled into his neck and got up.

"Can I sleep here tonight? I cant sleep for some reason." He nodded.

"You mind if I sleep without a shirt?" I turned around to see a shirtless Gerard. My breath hitched, could he be more perfect?
