You know what I just realized? Gerard's scared of needles. I mean, I knew this before I wrote this, but Gerard would NEVER become addicted to heroine. He's terrified of needles, for fuck's sake!!! face-meet-palm He'd choose cocaine or crack or something else like that! OMG, I'm such an idiot. shakes head I can't believe I did that, and I'm surprised no one besides me noticed. Wow.
