College Best Friends (A Gerard way Fanfic)

New Year's Day

A/N: This is a smut warning. 

(Gerard's POV)

Oh my god, I have such a bad hangover. This headache is Killing me. But on the bright side... Jacks is so cute when she's asleep.... And awake. My new girlfriend. I pull her closer to me and kiss her cheek.

"I love you," I whisper. Damn, I need an aspirin. I go to my bathroom and take one. I soon feel someone hugging me from behind.

"Good morning, beautiful. Need an aspirin?"

"Sure."Jacks stops hugging me and stands right next to me. I hand her my water and the aspirin. She takes it and goes back to giving me a hug.

"What if you grew your hair out," she asks. I pick her up and carry her to my bed.

"I'll take that into consideration," I say. That actually sounds like a really good idea. She gets up and starts changing.

"Can you come with me?"

"Huh?"

"To my mom's? Also to mine."

"Yeah, I will."

"Thanks, Gee." I get up to change too. She was already dressed. I put on some clothes and she goes to brush her teeth. While she brushes her hair, I brush my teeth. I then help her pack all her stuff.

"Are you sure you are ready," I ask her.

"No. I know I'm not but I don't think I ever will be."

"Come here," I say, opening my arms. She wraps hers around me and I wrap my arms around her. She buries her head in the crook of my neck.

"Thank you," she says, having it muffled by my skin. I just hold her tighter so my response isn't I love you. I want to say it so bad but it's too early. She leaves sweet little kisses on my neck and then escapes my embrace. We pick up her things and carry them to the car. We get in and she puts in a Ramones CD. The Ramones was always a band we could bond over. We both love them, Jacks especially.

"I wonder what america will be like in 10 years," she says.

"I think we'll heal," I tell her.

"I won't."

"Please don't think like that."

"Why not," she snaps. I look at her and tears are streaming down her face. "It's true, you know it is." I put my hand on her thigh. She puts her head down on the dashboard. She starts to sob so I turn up the music in hopes to make her happier. She started calming down right as we got to the ferry. We got out of the car and she started sobbing again. We got her stuff and showed our tickets to get on. The thing starts going over. It's snowing and the ferry and river are almost deserted.

We get to the other side of the river and get off. Even though tears are falling from Jacks's eyes, she whistles clearly. Soon a taxi comes up next to us. We get in and she gives the driver directions to a place. We get to what looks like her apartment building. We go up to her apartment and drop her stuff off. She walks into her bedroom and crashes on her bed. After a few seconds, Jacks gets up and goes into the kitchen.

I remember this apartment. It's right next to SVA or School of Visual Arts... our old college. She got it in our second year. Her first album that came out when she was like 16 or 17 was getting popular again and she got a lot of money. So she moved out of the dorms and got her own apartment. I have so many memories of this place.

She told me she went on her first tour right when the album released. They were all in their senior year of highschool and they went to the same highschool.. They went to LaGuardia which is like the most famous arts school in New York. They had their work sent to them and sent it back so they could graduate from there.
