Chapter 40 – Morning Sunshine (Gerard’s POV still)

“Oh sunshine” Jacquie says waking me.
“I’m not opening my eyes,” I say.
“Why?” Jacquie says
“Sunlight” I say.
“Don’t worry Vampire, my room is pretty much blocked from sunlight,” She says.
Open my eyes and right in front of my face is a smiling Jacquie.
“Ever heard of personal space?” I say with a smile.
“What’s a personal space?” She asks jokingly and gets off the bed and walks over to the door.
I laugh.
“Anyways, what do you want for breakfast?” she asks.
“Umm coffee?” I ask.
“What a great choice” she says “ I choose that too”
She walks out the room and I get up and follow her.
“1 coffee, 1 sugar and plenty of milk?” she asks.
“3 coffee, 2 sugar and plenty of milk” I reply.
“Geez we are so alike” she says making to coffee’s exactly the same.
She passes me a cup and grabs hers and we walk into the lounge room.
“Where are Kerrie and Jimmy?” I ask
“Shopping” I say.
“Why?” I ask.
“Getting microwave food” she says with a laugh “Jimmy had to tell her that her food is bad when she cooks it”
“She take it well?” I ask.
“Kinda, she was upset she couldn’t cook but realised she doesn’t have to cook anymore” she says.
“Microwave food?” I ask.
“Cause she agreed to cook dinner for the rest of the week” She says.
“So microwave food that most times is still frozen all week?” I ask.
“Yeah for them” she says, “Me and you will be going out for dinner”
“They know that?” I ask
“Jimmy does” she says, “Kerrie will guess”
I begin drinking my coffee.
“Man you sleep like a rock” Jacquie says.
“Well last night wasn’t the greatest” I say.
“Why?” she asks caringly.
“Bad dream” I say.
“Do tell” she says.
“Nah” I say “Wouldn’t want you … hurt”
“Huh?” she Mumbles.
“Don’t worry” I say “How did you sleep?”
“Alright” She says “Not the best sleep I’ve ever had”
She sips her coffee.
“Dreams?” I ask.
“Well I remember some of one them” she says “It’s sorta depressing”
“And…” I question.
“I don’t want to say” She says
“Come one please” I beg.
“Well I was in a white dress cutting myself” she say “and then I just huddled into a ball then …”
“Then what?” I ask.
“It doesn’t matter” she says drinking her coffee.
“Tell me” I say.
“Fine” she says “someone sat next to me and picked me off the ground and asked me if I was alright”
“And…” I ask. Did we have the same dream?
“Gerard I don’t want to say anymore okay” she says and gets up and drinks the rest of her coffee and puts her cup in the kitchen.
“I’m going to have a shower” she says and walks into her room.
I walk after her.
“You okay?” I ask.
“I’m fine” she says giving a weak smile and takes some clothes and walks out the room to the bathroom.
I drank some more coffee, We had the same dream, and she didn’t like it either.
I finish the coffee and put it on the side table.
I open one of my bags and look for some clothes. I pull out some clothes and change but before I could put on my shirt Jacquie walked in, but didn’t seem to care I was shirtless so I continued changing. She stops and looks at me I look back at her, She opens her mouth as if to say something but stops and closes it again.
“What?” I ask.
“You do realise we are gonna see Matt when he comes back from school?” She asks.
“You are” I say.
“No we, pretty sure it's we” She says.
“But he hates me” I reply.
“No he feels you hate him so he just backs off not wanting to cause trouble” She says.
“Did he say that directly to you?” I ask.
“Well no, but I can tell” She says.
“Fine” I say giving in.
“Thanks” She says smiling and walking over and then hugging me.
“You're welcome” I say hugging her back.
She lets go and we get a bit awkward.
“I better go check on … Kerrie” She says walking out of the room.
“But she’s shopping” I yell to her.
“Oh right” She says back with a giggle.
“So what you wanna do?” I ask entering the living room.
“Nothing just chill I guess” She says.
“Okay” I reply.
“Any new drawings?” She asks.
“Yeah tonnes … and tonnes that got ruined thanks to those arses” I say.
“Hey don’t worry about that you could do more” She replies.
“I know but I worked so hard on them” I say, “Do you wanna see some of my other drawings?”
“Sure” she says with a smile.
I go back into the room and bring out a folder of my drawings.
I pass her the book and she begins going through it.
“Anything I can do for you?” I ask “Coffee?”
“Nah but you can help yourself” She replies and goes back to looking.
I walk into the kitchen and decide to make myself another coffee.

(Jacquie’s POV)
Man he is just one of the best drawers I know I flip through the book till I stop on a drawing I really like and examine it, Gerard walks back in with a coffee.
“What one are you looking at?” he asks walking over to me.
“This one” I say showing him.
“Yeah, that’s a good one but I copied that off Matt” he says sipping his coffee.
“Okay” I say flipping through again.
Something must have popped into his head and he took the book off me.
“Now I can’t look?” I ask.
“Eh I think thats enough looking” he says putting it on the table “Show us some of yours”
“Nah, they not good most of my drawings have diminished in quality” I say.
“I shall be the judge of that” he says with a smirk.
“No Gee, you're not gonna see them. so there” I reply.
“I let you look at mine” he says.
“I know” I reply “But I don’t want you to see mine”
“Okay fine” he replies and rolls his eyes.
“GAH. I thought I was away from that” I say.
“What?” he asks.
“Rolling of eyes” I say “Never mind”
“Ahh it pees you off” he says with a laugh.
“Yes, yes it does” I reply.
Gerard rolls his eyes.
“Stop it Gee” I say getting pissed.
Gerard does it again.
“Gerard stop it” I say.
“Stop what?” he asks with a big smile and then he rolls his eyes again.
“STOP IT” I yell.
He begins doing non-stop.
I push him to the ground and I have my knees on his stomach.
“Stop” I say.
Her smiles and starts up again.
I put my hands around his neck and begin trying to choke him.
“Doing that to a guy that has a death wish doesn’t really intimidate them” he says.
I stop.
“You don’t have a death wish” I say.
“Yes I do, watch” he says and rolls his eyes.
“You're right, you do” I say and begin choking him again.
Gerard and I begin wrestling on the fall.
Well … wrestling cross kick boxing cross boxing for me.
Gerard pins me down but I flip him with my leg and I hold him down.
“You know I’m so gonna win” I say.
“Nah…” he says and pins me back down again “…I have more strength then you, you little Goth”
“Nah” I say struggling to flip him again because he has my legs pinned down too.
“Now to torture you” he says and begins to roll his eyes.
“Gah stop it” I yell.
The front door opens.
Gerard and I look to see Jimmy and Kerrie looking at us.
“Kerrie tell me again why we don’t do that?” Jimmy asks.
“What the hell are you doing?” Kerrie asks.
“Wrestling” Gerard says jumping off of me.
“Sure” Jimmy says.
“Nah serious we were” I say while Gerard helps me to my feet.
“Okay I take your word for it, but serious she’s a chick that is so not fair” Jimmy says.
“This chick could kick your ass” I say “And tire Gerard out then win”
I laugh.
“I don’t tire that easily” Gerard says.
I poke my tongue out at him.
“Anyways we are back” Kerrie says taking the bags into the kitchen.
“Right” Jimmy says taking a bag into the kitchen.
“Very gentleman like Jimmy” Gerard says sarcastically.
“She picked them up before I did” he says.
“Sure Jim Jam” Gerard replies.
“Where the hell did you get that from?” I ask.
“What?” Gerard replies.
“Jim Jam?” I ask.
“Oh a nickname for one of Mikey’s friends” Gerard replies.
“Oh Okay” I say.
“Oh yeah Mr Jim Jam got a movie for you two” Jimmy says.
“Cool” I say, “What is it?”
“Forrest Gump” Jimmy says.
Gerard and I look at each other then back at Jimmy.
“Your kidding right?” I ask.
“No” he says, “Apparently it’s a good movie”
I sigh.
“Why must you listen to the arses of TV” I say “Listening to the rubbish reviews about movies”
“Whatever you're watching it” he says passing me the video.
“Fine if we fall asleep don’t wake us” I say.
I put the movie on and we all watch it.

3 hours later…
“OWWW” I yell and look around.
I had fallen off the couch and hit the other chair awaking me from my slumber. I look to see why … Gerard is smirking at me.
“You ass” I say to him rubbing my head.
“I’m not a donkey” he says.
“Why the hell did you do that?” I ask.
“Felt like it” he says getting up “Also I believe we are seeing a certain friend about now”
“Who?” I ask.
“A certain Matt” he replies.
“Oh damn” I say offering my hands to Gerard.
“Help yourself” he says with and evil smirk.
“Oh you're gonna wish you never said that” I say with one of my evil smirks.
I pull his pants down.
“DACKED BITCH” I yell to him “Boxers man”
He quickly grabs his pants and pulls them up again.
“Shut up” he says and helps me up.
“Be a gentleman then” I say and I walk to my room.
“I thought you didn’t like gentlemen” he replies.
“When I want help I do” I say and put on some shoes.
“I’m guessing we are going to Matt’s” he says.
“Yeah” I reply.
“Train Gerard in service all aboard Jacquie and to Matt’s we are going” he says.
“What the?” I say.
Gerard picks me up and throws me over his shoulder.
“Gah Gerard put me down” I say.
He walks out the house and then carries me to Matt’s and puts me on my feet.
“Why thank you Master Way” I say poshly.
Gerard knocks on the door.
“You're welcome Madamme Valkyrie” he replies.
The door opens and Matt is standing there.
“Hiya” I say.
“Hi” he says confused.
“Hi Matt” Gerard says.
“Hi” Matt replies.
It goes awkward.
“Remember you are joining us today” I say.
“I am?” Matt asks.
“Yeah” I reply.
“What are we gonna do?” he asks.
“I don’t know” I reply feeling rather stupid.
“Well that sounds fun” Matt says sarcastically.
“Hey lay off her she wants to see you” Gerard says.
“Sure” Matt says sarcastically “I’m pretty sure she only came to see you”
“No I didn’t I came to see all of you” I say “I thought you guys were friends”
“So did I" Matt says.
“What the hell do you mean?” I ask.
“A certain somebody said something and then most of us fucked off into other groups, really the only two that stayed good friends was Ray and Mikey” Matt says “I stayed with Gerard for a while but he seemed really to only care about himself so I left him alone, Frankie went off to his other friends place because they were a sort of band”
“I don’t only care about myself, If it wasn’t for me Jacquie would still be asleep and you would be here lonely” Gerard yells at him.
“Probably the only reason you waked her was so you could grab another refreshment” Matt says using his hand to symbolize him drinking a drink.
“I would drink if I could find some, but I’m not selfish enough to wake anyone just to get a fucken drink” Gerard yells at him.
“Oh you must be craving a drink so bad right now” Matt teases, “Oh what’s this…”
Matt walks away and comes back with a beer in his hand.
“Oh what do I have here a nice ice cold beer” he says opening it and drinking some “This must be one of the best beers I’ve had”
“You know what would go so great with that beer?” Gerard says.
“What?” Matt asks.
“A slutty girlfriend” he says “Oh wait she fucking someone else”
“Shut up you…you … fucken emo” Matt says.
“Fucking stoner” Gerard replies.
“You know that was only once you prick” Matt says.
“Sure, sure arse wipe” Gerard replies.
“LISTEN TO YOU TWO, YOU'RE FUCKEN CARRYING ON LIKE LITTLE KIDS THAT HAVE LEARNT NEW BAD WORDS” I yell “YOU TWO USED TO BE BEST FRIENDS … INSEPARABLE BEST FRIENDS”
“You're right” Gerard says looking at his shoes “We used to be”
“You could be again” I say.
“True” Matt says.
“Call it a truce” Gerard says looking up at Matt.
“Truce man” Matt says with a smile.
“Hug” I say.
They both look at me.
“What?” I ask, “Friends hug”
“Gay friends” Matt says with a laugh.
“Whatever” I reply, “Do you think maybe we could get everyone back together?”
“I think we could” Gerard says with a big grin.
