As we walked out into the parking I reached over and held Gerard's hand in mine. I looked over and smiled at him. He gave me a funny look back.

"Are you sure you're okay with everything that happened?" He said as we approached my car. Lia and Bob were across the lot getting into his car. She seemed to be yelling at him about something.

"Hmm?" I say distracted by them. Gerard reaches over and takes my face in his hands. I look into his eyes and smile.

"God I love to see you smile." He says smiling a little himself.

"Why wouldn't I smile Gerard." I tell him. "This was like the best day ever." I say kissing his lips lightly.

"The best day?" He laughs a little. "You do know." He says a little seriously lowering his voice slightly. "We were together two weeks ago too... it could've been..."

"It wasn't." I interrupt. "Trust me Gerard." I say shaking my head a little. "I know in my heart it wasn't." I say and he sighs a little. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him towards me. "One day." I tell him softly as he squeezes my waist a little. "One day it will be. I promise you." I say and he smiles.

"You'll have my baby." He whispers.

"mmm-hmm., I promise- one day I will." I say leaning forward and kissing him. "Just not today!" I tease pulling away from him.

"Well how's tomorrow?" He laughs. I shake my head no. "Next week then!" He yells a little.

"Stop it Gerard." I laugh pushing away from him. He pulls me back into his arms.

"I love you Michelle Waller." He says lifting my chin a little. "You know that right?" He says looking intensely in my eyes.

"Yeah I kinda got that feeling." I laugh. He reaches over and tickles my waist a little.

"You're not gonna say it back!" He teases as I try to squirm away.

"Stop!" I laugh and he does- he pulls me back into his arms and sighs a little. I leant back against him. He wrapped his arms around me tightly.

"Well?" He says leaning over and kissing my neck softly from behind me.

"Do I love you?" I ask tilting my head to the side. He bit my neck softy and I moaned a little. "I guess you're all right." I tease pulling away from him before he could tickle me again. I jump into the car and he laughs. "Give me the keys." I tell him and he laughs.

"You're driving?" He says like he doesn't believe it.

"Hey I can drive!" I laugh as he gets in. "I just usually don't." I shrug starting it up. "Hey do you think the bank is still open?" I ask him as we pull out on to the highway.

"Its kinda late Elle." He says pulling out his cigarettes. "Here." He says offering me one.

"I can't smoke while I drive." I tell him and he smiles. "Don't they have a late night at the bank?" I say looking over at him.

"I don't know if its tonight." He shrugs.

"Can we check?" I ask making the turn off. "I really need my card back." I tell him.

"I swear to God Elle, if they're not open I don't want to hear a word about it being a curse or a fucking whatever you call it." He says exhaling the smoke.

"Ha!" I cry out pointing towards the building. "They're open!" I smile. He shakes his head a little. Things are finally starting to go my way again.

We go inside and I tell the lady at the counter I lost my card. She sends us over to another lady at a desk. Were sitting there for like 5 minutes while this woman pounds on her keyboard. She finally pulls out some papers from her printer.

"Okay so this is your last statement." She says laying a paper in front of me. "Um are these all your charges." She says and I look at her a little confused.

"What?" I say looking at the paper in front of me.

"The last charge was done at 'J.Choo-shoes'." She reads "for uh $320.00,is that yours?" she says and I nod. Gerard leans over and looks at the paper.

"You spent 300 dollars on shoes!" He kinda yells.

"No!" I laugh shaking my head a little. He picks up the paper and starts looking it over. "Boots!" I say holding my leg out. "These boots exactly." I say and the woman leans over and nods.

"They're quite nice." She says admiring them.

"How many fucking boots did you buy for 300 dollars Elle?" Gerard says raising his eyebrows a little.

"Just these." I tell him a little hurt. He shakes his head a little.

"Um maybe I should give you two a minute." The woman says starting to get up.

"Can you just get me card back?" I ask her watching Gerard look over the statement out of the corner of my eye. He was shaking his head a little.

"Get your card back?" The woman repeats. "I don't know where you lost it!" She laughs a little.

"In the machine out front." I say plainly.

"Oh you lost it in the machine!" She says shaking her head a little. "I thought you meant you lost your purse or something!" She says getting up.

"No I have my purse right here." I say holding it up.

"I'll be right back." She says walking towards the counter.

I look back over at Gerard. He folds the paper in half. "Gerard it was just a couple hundred dollars! Let it go!" I laugh a little.

"Elle- where did you get all this money?" He leans over and whispers loudly at me.

"Well, um some was my moms settlement and her life insurance." I tell him and he looks down a little. "My papa invested it, you know. That what he use to do." I shrug. "I get a weekly allowance you know." I tell him and he looks up. "But I never overspend Gerard." I insist. "If there's one thing I know- its how to manage money, my papa taught me that." I say and he reaches over and holds my hand rubbing it a little.

"You get an allowance!" He laughs a little to himself.

"Its some kinda structured thing my papa set up." I shrug as the woman comes back with my card. "Aw thank God!" I say taking it from her.

Gerard didn't say anything as we walked out. He drove home though so I could finally have a cigarette. It was best cigarette I ever had too...

When we got back to my house, Bob's car was there. So was Lia's. I open the door and the living room is trashed.

Fucking Lia. She's such a fucking slob I swear. She's got food on the table and a glass making a ring on the table. A ring!! I almost died. And she's just laying on the couch eating cookies right out of the bag making crumbs everywhere.
I started screaming at her. "What the fuck did you do to my house!"

She sits up and frowns. "You sound like my mom Elle... chill out already." She mumbles flipping off the TV.

"I told you to start fucking clean up Li." I hear Bob say from the kitchen. She gives him the finger even though he can't see her.

"I am cleaning." She smirks.

"Lia come on- please!" I beg her, picking up the cup that was stuck to the table. I mean stuck! What the fuck was she doing all day? Why is the table sticky?

"Gerard- Mikeys on the phone." I heard Bob call out from the kitchen. I didn't even hear it ring... Gerard goes into the kitchen and Bob comes out and helps me pick up the couch cushions that were scattered on the floor.

"Lia I love you like a sister, but I don't think this is gonna work out." I sigh.

"Like a sister?" She laughs lighting a cigarette. "We are sisters!"

I look over at her funny. She looked blankly at me back. I look at Bob. He's giving her the same look I am.

"Um didn't you hear what your father said?" I said hesitantly.

"When?" She replies.

"Before Bob um.... when you were coming out of the door." I say rubbing my neck a little.

"No I was talking to my mom and then Bob just swung at him." She says taking a drag off her cigarette.

"Oh Lia..I.." I didn't know what to say.

"What?" She insists.

"He kinda said that he couldn't be my father." I tell her softly.

"He's a lying sack of shit Elle." Lia says making a face at me. "Don't tell me you believe him now!" She screeches.

"I... Lia...um..He raped her... well.. It happened before I was born." I tell her and she makes a face.

"That's kinda how it works Elle." She laughs.

'No it was a lot before and um you know how I told you that Mr. S knew my mom." I say and she just looks at me blankly. "Well he says my dads name is Nick." I tell her.

"Well then he doesn't know what he's talking about Elle. My dads name is Bill." She corrects me. I look over at Bob for some help.

"I think what she's trying to say-" Bob say reaching over and grabbing her in his arms. "Her dad is not your dad Lia." He tells her. She shakes her head no. I took a step back and ducked into the kitchen. Gerard was just hanging up the phone.

"You know you don't have to stay." I tell him putting Lia's dishes into the dishwasher.

"You think I'm gonna leave you alone." He laughs.

"Really Gerard- go home." I tell him as he hugs me a little. "I'm sure your mom misses you and it's not fair to keep making Mikey cover for you." I say as he rubs my back.

"Its not a big deal." He sighs.

"It is." I tell him. "Look I'm not feeling so hot." I say rubbing my stomach a little. I was starting to cramp up a little.

"Lias here and I don't wantta hear you guys all night." I say biting my lip a little.

"You wont." He says running his hands through his hair.

"No, why don't you go home. Please Gerard, I'll be okay." I say softly. "You come back on Friday. Spend the weekend with me." I whisper in his ear. "I'm sure I'll be feeling better by then." I say blowing on his ear lightly. "We can have a party." I tease him and he smiles.

"Friday?" He says exhaling a little as I touched his earlobe slightly with my tongue.

"Mmm-hmm." I tell him as Bob walks by.

"Okay." He finally gives in. He helps me clean up the rest of the mess Lia made. I walked him outside to his car and was kissing him goodnight when Bob came out.

"You leaving me too Bobby?" I tease.

"Elle I told you I'd stay!" Gerard exclaims and I smile. He smiled back at my smile. "I love to see you like this." He said softly touching my face.

"Then maybe you should leave more often." I tease and he pulls me closer and kisses me again.

"Oh hey I called Frankie and Ray and told them about Friday." Bob calls out as he opened his car door.

"What about Friday?" I say a little confused.

"You said we're having a party on Friday night!" Bob laughs. "So I invited them, Chrissy and Sara too." He adds. My face dropped. Bob looked over a little confused. "That's what you said right?" He says loudly. "That we're having a party?"

"Yeah but I meant we." I say pointing to me and Gerard. Bob nods.

"Yeah." He says still not getting it. I look up at Gerard he's trying not to laugh. I look back over at Bob. He's wrinkling his eyebrows a little. Suddenly his expression changed. "Oh fuck -I'm sorry." Bob exclaims slapping himself in the head a little.

"Its okay." I tell him.

"You want me to call and tell them forget it?" Bob says coming towards us.

"Naw, its all right." Gerard says laughing a little. "It'll be fun right Elle." He says and I shrug...

Yeah... fun...

Lia...Sara...Ray...

Sounds like a blast...
