I just stared at him holding the ring outstretched. He stared back.  I waved it a little. Why isn't he moving? Why is he just looking at me like that? Why isn't he taking it?

"You're giving me my ring back?" He says slowly his voice cracking a little.

"Well I'm trying to!" I laugh. He didn't. He just stood there... Fuck. I don't have time for this. Its fucking 5:30 and I still have to get dressed, do my makeup and my hair... 

"Elle." He says stepping back a little. Fuck what is his problem?

"Aw come on Gerard, just take it." I yell a little anxiously as I force the ring into his hand. I push past him into my room. He just stood there... I went to shut the door to my room and he pushed it back open and came in shutting it behind him.

"Elle." He sighs a little looking down on the ring he was clutching in his fingers. He kinda twirled it a little... He had a strange look in his eye. "Are you sure." He says looking up at me.

"Well yeah Gerard, I can't exactly show up at Pete's house wearing it ya know! His dad thinks I'm going out with him." I say and he lets out a nervous sigh. "Just hold it for me and give it back to me at the dance, I don't want to lose it okay." I tell him as I went and grabbed the dress bag from my closet.

He didn't say anything. A look of relief passed across his face as he went and sat on my bed... more like collapsed on to it... What the fuck?... oh shit...

"Oh Gerard you didn't think that-" I say stepping towards him. He looked up at me a little foolishly. Oh my god he did!

He thought I was giving the ring back to him! Cause of what Lia said no less... "Oh Gerard." I sigh kneeling down in front of him.

"Well what the hell was I suppose to think." He says softly looking down and I smile.

"Aw come on." I say and he looks up at me. "You know Lia's full of crap." I say and he laughs.

"Yeah but not all of it was crap." He says sighing a little.

"Well like what?" I say frowning. "Like the part about you leaving me in 3 years with 5 kids?" I say biting my lip a little and he smiles.

"No Elle don't be crazy..." He says running his thumb along my lip. "It was 5 years and 3 kids" He corrects me.

"Gerard!" I say swatting his arm a little. He kinda laughed, I did too. I stood up and kissed him quickly and went to step back but he pulled me onto his lap. "Come on Gerard I don't have time I've gotta get ready." I say pulling back from him.

"Elle you're not seriously going to the dance with Pete still are you?" He tells me.

"Well yeah." I say opening up the dress bag Gerard gave me. "I told you I promised Pete." I say holding the dress up. It was the green dress Laura saw me try on. I smile. He smiled back.

"Baby after everything that happened I'm sure he'd understand if you tell him you're not going." He says and I shake my head no a little.

"No. I promised... And I have to go. I have to ask him what he found out about those guys." I say and Gerard frowns.

"Seriously Gerard something's going on there. Didn't you see how jumpy Mr. Samuel got when you said their names." I say and he runs his hand through his hair a little frustratedly as he sat on the edge of my bed. He couldn't argue back, he knew it was true. He just stared down at the ring clenched in his hand...

"Elle if you have any doubts about me." He says lowering his voice a little.

"Of course not." I say going over and lifting his face up to mine. "I love you Gerard. There's nothing she could say to change that." I tell him and I kiss his lips. He kissed me back..."Mmm come on now...I told you I gotta get dressed." I say pulling away from him even though it pained me to do so...

"Yeah but what Lia said." He sighs a little. "I mean it was true. What I did to her wasn't right." He mumbles.

"Aw, Don't worry about her okay? she's just... dramatic. I'm sure it wasn't that bad." I say laying the dress out on my bed... Hmmm I knew exactly what shoes I wanted to... I went over to get them.

"I never meant to hurt her you know." He says shaking his head a little. "Elle I swear to god I knew it was wrong, the things I said but..." He shook his head in desperation a little.

"Gerard please don't worry about her." I say sorting through my shoeboxes till I found the right pair. He just sat back a little on the bed.

"Yeah but Elle. I want you to understand." He starts to say and I laugh.

"I get it Gerard." I say going over to my drawer and pulling out a pair of underwear. Gerard watched me slide them up under my towel. 

"Elle of I could take back that day I would." He moans. He was feeling guilty... Fucking Lia man... I swear she's never happy unless everyone else is miserable...

"Hey did um Rays brother ever tell you what happened with him and Lia?" I ask and he gives me a funny look. "I guess not." I say shrugging a little. "But I bet it was his idea to fuck with her head like that right?" I say and he gave me a look like how would I know that. I smiled a little. "Yeah I kinda figured so much."  I say opening my drawer and pulling out my black thigh highs. I sat on the stool and start pulling them on. "So you wanna hear what happened?" I say and he blinked a few times. He was staring at my legs, watching my hand intently as I slid the stocking up.

"Gerard?... hello?" I say loudly. He looks up a little startled. "Fuck where were you just then?" I ask and he smiles.

"I was trying to figure out if I like watching you dress or undress more." He says a smile slowly forming on his lips.

"Oh stop it." I laugh dropping my towel and slipping the dress over my head. Once I was fully dressed he grabbed the cigarettes from his pocket and lit one up.

"So what happened?" He asks blowing the smoke up into the air as I put my shoes on.

"With Lia?" I ask as I put some lipstick on and he nods. "Oh well, honestly I can't remember how she ended up hooking up with him." I say brushing my hair a little. "But umm.. he really liked her ya know." I say and he shrugs. "And umm she kinda used me to do the same thing to him that you did to her." I say trying to not to smile. Gerard was tensing up.

"Elle you didn't-" He says getting a little worked up.

"No!" I yell a little. "I never touched him." I say standing up and checking my reflection over. "I just told him that I wanted him and that if he broke up with her we could hook up." I say and he rolls his eyes a little. "So I told him to meet me at this seedy motel and when he got there uh Lia was there." I say and he laughs a little.

"That's fucked up." He says and I shrug.

"So you see Gerard." I say stepping towards him and climbing back up on to his lap. "Lia is just as cruel. She likes playing with people but doesn't like when people do it back." I say pressing myself against him. "You're just gonna have to accept the fact that Lia doesn't like you." I say and he smiles.

"Mmm I think I can live with that." He says pressing his face into my chest a little. He kisses my chest and my neck and I arch my back slightly as he runs his hand up my back. I felt myself aching for him... It was all I could do to stop myself from ripping my dress off, and taking him inside me... Fuck. This was getting out of hand...I had to leave...

"I have to go." I say standing back up. He reached for me but I stepped back. "Mmm save it for later." I say and he smiles. "So what do you think." I say spinning around a little.

"You look perfect Elle." He smiles.

"No I think I'm missing something." I say pushing him back on to the bed. I reach my hand into his pocket and feel around.

"Hey I thought you said we were gonna save that for later." He exhales a little.

"Gerard." I laugh pulling the ring back out. I slip it back onto my finger. "There." I say holding it up. "Now I'm complete." I say and he smiles.

"What about Pete and his dad" Gerard tells me snidely.

"Fuck um" I say spinning the ring around on my finger a little...He laughed a little.

"Uh please don't Elle." He says and I look at him a little bewildered. "Fuck um." He adds and I slap his arm a little.

"Uh I'll try not to." I say sarcastically. "Come on now you gonna drop me off or am I gonna get to drive my own fucking truck?" I say grabbing the keys from my dresser.

"Naw I'll drive ya." He says and I sigh. Figures...

Bob had left when I was in the shower I guess and Gerard locked up the door and we headed over to Pete's. He said he was gonna run home and change and pick up Mikey and Marie and that he'd meet me there...

I gave Gerard a kiss goodbye and started walking slowly up Pete's walkway. I guess Pete was watching me out the window or something cause he opened the front door before I even knocked on it and he quickly grabbed me and pulled me inside the house, shutting the door just as fast as he opened it.

I gasped a little as he pushed me against the back of the door. "Pete what the hell!" I say.

"Shh!" he hisses urgently in my ear. "Elle babe we need to talk!"
