A thing for Bob? Is that what he just said to me?

“Am I suppose to?” I ask totally confused. Gerard pulled his key back from the door and looked back at me curiously.

“Are you suppose to?” He repeats back.

“Have something for him?” I say making a face. I mean what the fuck. Like it’s not enough that Gerard tells him he could bring some skank back here but I'm suppose to be bringing him something??

“What?” Gerard says giving me a strange look.

“Cause I don’t have shit.” I say holding out my empty hands.

“What are you talking about?” Gerard says frowning a little looking at me.

“I didn’t bring Bob anything.” I tell him and he didn’t say anything. “Were we suppose to?” I ask and Gerard shook his head a little.

“Suppose to what?” He repeats again, giving me that strange look again too...

“Bring him something!” I exclaim and Gerard frowned. “You just fucking asked me if I had that ‘THING’ for Bob!” I tell him frowning. “And I don’t!” I say a little flustered. “I guess I fucking lost it right?.” I say and Gerard smiles a little.

“That’s not what I-“ He starts to say but I continue to talk over him.

“I don’t know what it was or when you gave it to me but I lost it and I'm sorry” I say getting worked up.

“No that’s not.” He says as I sniffle… Fuck am I a fuck up or what? …

“Damn Gerard! I lost something I didn’t even know I had…” I sniffle again.

“Elle you didn’t lose anything.” He says trying not to laugh.

“But you said-“ I try to tell him.

“That’s not what I meant.” He chuckles.

“Gerard I don’t understand.” I sigh a little.

“Its all right Elle.” He says and I frown.

“No its not.” I insist. “Tell me what's so funny!” I say as he grins at me.

“Nothing baby c’mon.” He says reaching to unlock the door again.

“Cause I'm too stupid to get it right?” I say and he frowns looking back over at me.

“No Elle. I didn’t say that.” He tells me and I pout.

“Then what?” I insist.

“Okay fine.” He sighs swatting away some mosquito-y bugs that were swarming around us now. “I didn’t mean a thing.” He says and I make a face.

“You said ‘A THING’.” I tell him.

“Yeah I know.” He smiles again.

“So why would you say it was A THING, if it wasn’t?” I say a little thrown off.

“I meant ‘a thing’, not a ‘thing’ thing.” He repeats like its gonna make more sense the second time he says it.

I rubbed my eyes a little and looked at him… I was so fucking tired. I could barely keep my eyes open…

“So Bobs not expecting us to bring anything?” I say yawning.

“Elle he doesn’t even know we were coming home, how could he expect us to be bringing something.” He says and I shrug.

“Can we just go in Gerard?” I moan a little. “I'm so fucking tired I can’t even stand up.” I say and he smiles coyly.

“Well then we’ll just have to go right to bed.” He says and I roll my eyes a little.

“Yeah unless Bob and his girlfriend are using it.” I say and Gerard laughs.

“Well then we’ll just have to find another room. I think the tents still set up around back if you wanna?” Gerard says and he laughs again… I didn’t. I didn’t think it was funny…Not the tent part, and certainly not the Bob in my bed part…

“Come on Gerard these bugs are fucking eating me alive out here!” I cry out swatting at them myself now.

“Yeah just let me..uhhh…” He says knocking on the door a few times. Knock knock knock. He does and I roll my eyes. I guess he was trying to give Bob a heads up that we were coming in or something… I don’t know…. “What?” Gerard laughs as he puts the key in the lock.

“Nothing.” I say smiling at him as he opens the door. Him and his fucking ‘knock knock knock’ crap… I mean really…

“Knock knock knock Gerard!” I say and he smiles back.

“What do you guys have like a secret club knock too?” He laughs as he holds the door open for me and I walk in.

“Aw fuck…” I mumble and Gerard looks at me questioningly as he followed me in… “That’s one thousand four hundred and ninety eight again.” I say and he smiles as he takes his coat off.

“What's this?” He says finally looking down at the blue note paper in his hand.

“That was in my bag.” I say quickly turning my back to him. I didn’t want to get into it now… I mean I was gonna go on Friday whether he liked it or not…

“Hellllooo?” I call out loudly stepping away from Gerard as he read it. “Honey I'm home.” I say stepping into the living room and flicking the light on quickly.

The TV was on. Something crappy was playing on the screen but you couldn’t tell what it was cause there was no sound. Didn’t matter since no one was watching it anyway…

Bob was on top of some girl on the couch. And I mean on top of… Like laying on… And they both were kinda undressed.

“Aw fuck! But I fucking knocked!” Gerard kinda laughs looking at them as the girl scrambled to pull her dress back down. I gave Gerard a nasty look and he tossed his hand up and stepped back into the hall. I mean what the fuck is wrong with him? Yeah the girl is kinda undressed… Was he just gonna stand there gawking at her?

“-Elle! honey hey” Bob says startled looking up at me. And it’s at this point I realize my jaw is hanging open a little…I guess I was gawking too…

“Elle?” The girl says loudly looking over me. “Who’s Elle?” She says quite bitchily too. I fold my arms on my chest and frown at her attitude…I mean it was directed at Bob and not me but I still took offense…

Bob looked at me and then at her as he pulled himself off of her zipping his pants up a little as he pulled himself back from her.

“Elle’s my wife…” He blurts out with out thinking I guess. I mean I've done it myself. Well not those words exactly... But I blurt out that he's my husband unintentionally all the time and I guess that’s what he did cause as soon as he said it his face dropped a little and he opened his mouth like he was gonna try to say something to fix it but it was too late.

SLAP~!

The fucking girl didn’t even blink.

Just reached up and slapped him. “Bastard.” She cries out grabbing her bag from the floor and pushing past me as she stormed out.

“Erica!” He called out but it was no use. She had already slammed the door. “Damn.” He mumbles rubbing his cheek.

“Oh Bobby.” I sigh covering my mouth trying not to laugh.

“It’s all right honey.” Bob says smiling himself a little so I drop my hand from my mouth as I step towards him.

“You all right?” I ask reaching up and stroking his cheek.

“What the hell happened?” Gerard says as he came into the room behind me.

“Erika wanted to know who I was!” I say and Gerard just looked at me. “He gave her the wrong answer!” I laugh and Gerard does too. Bob is frowning looking at me.

“What the fuck happened here?” He says pressing on my forehead and I wince a little.

“I don’t…” I sigh a little as Bob looks at me roughly. “I fell out of bed.” I say and Bob frowns and looks over at Gerard who’s shaking his head no.

“Elle this-“ Gerard starts to say holding the blue paper up and I panic.

“I'm just gonna go get ready for bed, you… you guys can talk.” I say stepping backwards towards the hall… “I’ll be right back!” I cry out quickly as I dart down the hall into the bathroom with out giving either of them a chance to stop me…

I took my sweet old time in there too… I was kinda surprised that neither of them came looking for me I was in there so long…

I came back to the living room in my pajama clothes, which was basically just shorts and tank top again, and they were both sitting on the couch.

“Elle sit we need to talk.” Gerard says and I look at the blue paper which was crumbled even more so now, tossed carelessly on the table. Gerard saw me looking and nodded a little towards the couch. That’s what this is about. And I could tell by the look on his face and Bobs too that I wasn’t going to be going to Point Pleasant…

“Uh I can’t sit there.” I say stepping back from the couch.

“What?” Gerard says looking at the very large empty spot on the couch next to him. I mean there was plenty of room for me to sit… I just didn’t want to…

“I can’t.” I say. “Not until the cleaning lady comes you know?” I say and Gerard smiles. Bob laughed.

“Elle come on.” He says and I shake my head no insistently.

“Don’t you think you're being a bit hypocritical?” Bob asks and I frown.

“I am not.” I argue.

“No you are.” Gerard laughs. “And now that I think about it you have been all day!” He says and Bob laughs.

“We should call you Miss H.” Bob jokes and I shoot him a nasty look.

“Aw I like that!” Gerard laughs. “Come on now and sit Miss H.” He says patting the couch lightly.

“No.” I say firmly. “Fuck, if you all say I'm a hypocrite then I guess today must be like hippo-critics day or some shit.” I say and they both kinda smiled at my nonsense…

“Hippo-critics?” Gerard laughs. “Is that even a word?” He asks Bob and Bob shrugs.

“It is a word.” I say nodding at them. I was full of shit. I don’t know if it was a word. I mean if its not it should be… It’s a cool word… Kinda sounds like hippopotamus… Fuck I love hippopotamuses… I wonder if Gerard will take me to the zoo tommorow? My mind was wandering again as I stared into space. Suddenly a voice snapped me back.

“I'm gonna have to ask Mikey on that one.” Bob says and Gerard laughs again.

“Hey can we go to the zoo tomorrow?” I ask and Gerard stops laughing and instantly frowns.

“No.” He says plainly and I pout.

“But whyyyy?” I whine and Bob smiles.

“I’ll take you to the zoo Elle.” Bob says and I smile back at him. “If you sit the fuck down.” He says and my smile fades instantly.

“Why do I have to sit?” I ask trying not to sound whiney.

“Cause we wanna talk to you.” Bob says and I frown.

“Well I wanna lay down.” I say shaking my head a little as I stepped towards the doorway.

“Elle where the hell are you going huh?” Gerard calls out and I glance over at him.

“Look I told you before I can barely stand up I am so tired okay.” I tell him and he just looked at me. “If you guys wanna talk, come.” I say and neither one of them moved.

“To your room?” I hear Bob say.

“Mm-hmm.” I reply going down the hall.

I went into my room and crawled into bed with out even flicking the nightlight on. I figured they’d be right behind me and they were…

Gerard flipped the overhead light. “Elle.” He says and I shake my head no.

“I'm not getting up.” I say and he sighs. “Just come on. Here.” I say pulling the blankets back a little. Gerard sat on the edge of the bed.

“And what about Bob?” Gerard kinda laughs.

“Here.” I say sliding over some more. “He can fit too.” I say and now Bob laughs. “Come on just both of you just lay down okay.” I say getting a little upset.

“Elle.” Gerard sighs.

“What the fuck is the big deal?” I yell a little sitting upright and glaring at them. “Look you wanna talk, we’ll talk. I’ll tell you anything you wanna know if you both just lay the fuck down and shut the goddamn light already.” I yell out and I throw myself back down onto my pillow.

It was silent for a moment…

“Fine.” I hear Gerard say and I can hear what sounded like him kicking his shoes off…

“Bob?” I mumble with my eyes shut.

“Fuck.” I hear him say to himself I think… I don’t know… I felt the bed shift a little as some climbed up on to it…

“Just make sure you guys take off your belts.” I mumble softly as I felt a hand on my back. It was Gerard… He was laying himself down next to me.

“What?” He says as he pulled me against him. I could feel the bed shift again as Bob sat down on the other side of me…

“Belts… off…” I mumble as Bob layed back on to the bed…Fuck he was so warm and he smelt good too... Real musky like again… I guess he put on extra ‘musky smell’ for his ‘date’… Mmm… now my sheets are gonna smell like his. I took a deep breath of him and found myself shifting closer to him unintentionally… I was shifting towards his incredible body heat. I just couldn’t help myself. He was so ”…warm.” I say but I was so fucking tired it sounded more like worm…

“Worms?’ Gerard laughed a little as he tightened his arm around me and pulled me back against himself.

“No…I…” I mumble unable to stay awake any longer…

“Fuck baby you make less sense when you're falling asleep then you do when you're waking up.” I hear Gerard laugh. I hear Bob laugh faintly too… I strained to try to answer him.

“I…” I start to say weakly.

“Just go to sleep baby. We’ll talk in the morning.” I hear Gerard's voice say and I feel him lean over and kiss my cheek lightly as he pulled me tighter against him.

“Mmm night honey…” I sigh softly.

“Good night Elle.” Gerard replies…I guess he didn’t know I wasn’t talking to him…
