Happily Never After (My Chemical Romance) Part Two
RECAP: "You have beautiful eyes." I commented. He blushed, and pressed his lips against mine. I felt a surge of elecricity shoot through my body from his icy kiss. JUst before i pulled away i heard the tour bus door open...
Gerard quickly pulled his lips from mine before I could. We heard commotion from behind us, and the metal tour bus door shut loudly. I gazed into Gerard's eyes one more time, before i turned away. I yearned for a more passionate kiss from him, but I remained content.
"Wow! Are we interupting something?" I heard Mikey call out from inside the tour bus.
Yes, I thought, Now leave! But I fumbled out a weak unconvincing reply, "No, We were just talking about how the tour is right now." Gerard nodded accordinally.
I saw unconvinced facial expressions from the small crowd. "OH!" Alex squealed as she helped Gerard and I from the pavement.
"Gerard, we need to go practice our new song for Friday." Frank informed. I saw Gerard nodd his head in reply, and shoot me a 'See-ya-later' look. I felt myself drown in a pool of sorrow. I wanted Gerard here with me, always. I couldn't stand to be apart from his brown eyes, but they needed to practice. I could deal with that.
"Well, We need to go to bed, before we fall asleep here." Hallie joked. Her arms were wrapped around a happy composed Ray. He kissed her on the cheek and smirked.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Hallie." They giggled.Everyone couldn't help but laugh. It was so sweet. If only Gerard could be holding me at this moment.
"So, See ya. Come Mikey!" Bob yelled as he yanked Mikey from the tour bus.
"Okay. Okay. Invader Zim was on. I haven't seen that episode." Mikey whined."Bye." He smiled and waved at us. Ray, Frank, Mikey and Bob walked into their tour bus.
"We will leave you two alone." Audrey shifted her focus to Gerard and me. I placed my hands in my hoodie's pockets and shivered. Everyone decended into our tour bus from my band leaving Gerard and I to converse once again. There was an awkward silence between us both. I was found speechless beyond belief.
"I'm sorry about the kiss. It was a mistake." He appolgized. A MISTAKE! Our 1.5 milli second kiss (maybe the approximate time. LOL) was nothing but a mistake. Maybe, Gerard didn't like me. I mean i am 19, and he is 24. It was a mistake. He was just probably being a man and acting on impulse. When i thought of reasons why, I felt used. My first kiss was wasted by a mistake. I turned away from him towards my tour bus, but before i could take a step... I felt a hand grab my arm and gently pull me back. Gerard held me close, and gazed into my eyes like they were windows to my soul. He saw my tears.
"Our kiss wasn't a mistake. I thought you didn't want to kiss me, and it was a mistake."
"No," I whispered, "It was everything." I felt his cold white hands wipe my tears and caress all the sorrow from my parents' death, and all the wrong choices I had made in my life so far. He leaned into my face for another kiss, when i heard a shuffle of feet from behind the tour bus. I jumped back sharply. Gerard's arms fell to his sides.
We saw a shadow come from behind the bus. I could make out a small figure...then a face...it was Pete. I've known he likes me, but I 'm not sure i feel the same way. I have Gerard. He is all I need.
"Oh, Hey Pete. What are you doing here?" I asked casually. He didn't see anything going on between Gerard and I. It's best to keep it this way. Pete raised a curious eyebrow.
<Pete's POV>
"Wait, What are you two doing here?" I asked. I was puzzled to see Gerard and Jeane out here so late. I was just coming from a sound check that Patrick and I had gone to after we introduced ODD GIRL OUT to MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE.
"Oh, nothing. We were just talking about the moon. It's awfully full tonight." Jeane forced a smile from her rosy red lips. She was holding something back. I glanced at Gerard who was shuffling his feet into the pavement.
"I know it's so full tonight. It's almost weird. Some say a full moon breeds unexpecting romance." I said searching Jeane's face for honesty. She lacked the proper behavior of lying. A fake, forced smile was stretched across her face. Gerard showed no eye contact...they fell in love.
"So, Gerard," I saw Gerard's face pier up from the pavement when i formed the words with my mouth.
"Yeah. Um... I need to go. I'll see you later Pete. We all have a sound check." He replied.
"Wait." I stopped him. "What's wrong? I like come to find you guys tight lipped. It's just unusal.
"I'm just really tired. I will talk to you soon, okay, Pete." Gerard glanced at Jeane. They were looking into their eyes for a moment. I had to stop their budding romance. I don't want to be mean. It's just I feel like I love Jeane. I know I've been coming off a little strong, but i don't care. I feel like I've known her all my life.
"Jeane, do you want to come party with me? There is an afterparty going on now." There was a brief silence as Jeane searched Gerard for a confirmation. He turned away, and stepped into his tour bus.
"GERARD!" Jeane called out. Imediately i hugged Jeane. I wrapped my jacket around her. She was puzzled at my motion, but followed through. I saw Gerard's eyes grow wide, and water spring on his cheeks.
"Goodnight." He answered coldly, and slammed the tour bus door shut. Then, I brought Jeane to the party. She seemed a bit down so I handed her some vodka. (i didn't know she was only 19). I watched her drown herself in beverages.
<Jeane's POV>
I felt free for once in my life. I think i was having an out of body experience from far tooo much vodka in my system. But i didn't care. I jumped on a wooden table and danced to my heart's content. My sadness seemed to pour out of me with every flail of my arms, and tap of my toes. Pete hopped up next to me and wrapped his arms around me. We swung around in circles until he leaned in my face. I didn't understand what he was doing until I heard gasps from the crowd as our lips pressed together. Our kiss was not electrifying. It was sickening and stupid. Finally, when Pete broke away I fell off the table onto the beige carpet. i reached out for help, when i noticed a pair of black men shoes standing in front of me. I know who those favorite shoes belong to. And sure enough it was...
<Gerard's POV>
How could she do this to me. I thought our kiss meant something between us. After, saying goodbye harshly I talked with Mikey about my kiss with jeane. He told me to arrive at the party and sweep her off her feet, but it seemed Pete already had. I watched as he wrapped his arms around her and press his lips against Jeane. I watched as his tongue darted in her mouth, and Jeane fall to the floor out of drunkness. She reached for help from the floor to me, but I hesistated and barged out the party door. I ran to the parking lot, where our kiss took place. My fingers were numb from the coldness. I searched for a cig and lighter in my pockets. i found one,lit it up. I inhaled slowly. I exhaled slowly too. My anger, sorrow felt like it drained from my lungs and into the cold air.
<Jeane's POV>
I shoved myself up and hurried out the door to Gerard. I found him smoking a cig. He didn't enknowledge I was next to him. I stuttered out, ":I'm sorry." He turned away in a fury. How could i do this to him. Now, I felt like a whore. I clasp his arm with my small hand. I tried to speak but no sound ignited as my mouth moved. I saw him drop his cigarette. Then everything went black...
