18. That's my OPINION

"You want what?!"

"I want you to break the mountain ash around my house," I repeated myself. Ray looked at me confused.

"And why would that be?" He asked.

"It's none of your business, ok?" I spat

"It is when you're asking me for a favour," He spat back. Both of us looked around the cafeteria to see if anyone's attention was on us or not, and turned back to each other. "You're gonna get your whole family in danger. Can't you understand?"

"No, I'm not. It's just for a short amount of time. Nothing will happen."

"Look, I'm just saying it's not good for you to be so laid-back about this kind of things. You'll probably-" he said but didn't finish as I interrupted.

"How do you know what's good for me?" I raised my voice.

"That's my opinion!" He yelled. A silence between us followed. He sighed and continued, "look, ok I'll do it, but if someone gets hurt, don't come to me crying."

"No one will get hurt and I won't," I said with a satisfied smile.

"Ok then, see you later." He said and left the table, going to his own group of friends, with his tray of food. I did the same.

It was Thursday, the day before our presentation. Two weeks have passed since that night. The night I last saw those two red glowing eyes. Since then, we haven't worked on the case that much, or should I say, at all. I always cancelled our meetings because I wanted to hang out more with Gerard.

Tomorrow is the day I promised Gerard that he'll come over to my place, which is what led me to Ray. I can't be a hundred percent sure that Gerard is human. If he's not, he'll be exposed to my parents when he touches the mountain ash's barrier and I can't risk that. They'll just kill him like he's nothing, but now he's my everything. He gives me love the way no one else does and I can't bear losing him, so I'm going to do everything to make sure I don't.

"You're running after something
That you'll never kill
If this is what you want
Then fire at will," we finished the song as I strummed the last chord. The class clapped, just like they did to everyone else before us, and we went back, sitting to our places.

The class was followed by other groups presenting their projects. I was nervous during the rest of the class, thinking about Gerard being at my house after this is finished. What if something goes wrong? What if my parents come home earlier and see Gerard?

Yesterday, I deactivated the cameras around the house so Ray could come and break the mountain ash's spell around the house. I didn't turn it on after Ray left, because I don't want my parents to see Gerard came over. I'm not planning to come out to them like this. I'll turn back on the cameras after Gerard leaves.

I got snapped out of my thoughts when I heard the bell. I quickly took my bag and my guitar and made my way to my locker. God, I hope everything goes the way I've planned.

It did go as planned. I managed to get Gerard out of the house before my parents came back home. Everything went perfectly, at least that's what I thought.

"Frank!" I heard my mom yell from downstairs. It was after a few hours they came home. Probably past midnight.

"What?!" I yelled back. No answer. I ignored her and went back to reading the files Tyler gave me recently.
