WHAT!? AM I BACK? Yes, I am. Don't ask why. I guess I just saw them in concert last Friday and found a love for them again (not that I had ever stopped loving them). I actually re read this and laughed. I can't believe I wrote this story- and so badly as well. I guess it would be a shame not to finish it- bad writing and all! Enjoy my new installment. Love you all. xx
Eva was fuming by the time her detention was here. She couldn’t believe Gerard’s double standards. He had slept with another girl and tore her heart into pieces, yet if she tried to move on she was sentenced to scrubbing people’s left over chewing gum from the bottom of dusty tables. Her stomach felt as if it was filled with concrete and her mind was yelling at her to fight, or say something. Secretly though, she knew why she allowed this. Like all women, she enjoyed the torture. There was always a fine line between love and hate, and Eva was beginning to realise that now.
Gerard though was not enjoying this at all. Being in Eva’s presence was also torturous- but it was also hopeless. He couldn’t explain the attraction he felt to Eva so all he tried to do was deny it and screw up. There was no denying that Eva was an insanely good catch- maybe even too good, but she was also forbidden territory. A lot of the time men let go of the women they truly love because of fear, and use objects to distract them from the desire of their choice. Eva sparked a fear in him that he couldn’t explain. It was something his life couldn’t handle at this stage. It could end the future he was trying to build. Could Eva be a part of that future? Not like this.
Michaela on the other hand was used property. She wasn’t his cup of tea but she was a promising distraction. Someone he could destroy, torture, break down, hurt and bruise without having to worry how she felt. She took on his issues through sex. Sex was healing in this way.
“I’m done,” said Eva getting up from under the tables and throwing Gerard a filthy look.
“Good, you can start on removing the staples from the back of that pin board,” said Gerard not looking up from the papers he was marking.
“Great!” said Eva sarcastically. “And you can fuck off!” At this, she threw the palette knife to the ground, picked up her bag and stormed out of the door. She was in control. He had no control of her.
Gerard took a moment to register what happened. The diva had stormed out- something he hadn’t expected from her. He quickly got up and hurriedly walked out to catch up with her. Eva was half way down the stairs and he called out to her.
She kept walking.
He finally reached the top of the stairs where she had been only seconds before, looked down and saw Eva walking up to Nick.
“Eva, get back here now!” screamed Gerard from the top of the staircase.
Nick grabbed Eva and they both ran. Eva had no idea where she was going but she followed Nick nonetheless and just kept running, her hair flying everywhere and her heart racing.
Nick had led her to his car. They quickly got in and drove off together.
Gerard had finally caught up to them just in time to watch the car was driving out of the school gates.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Nick and Eva kept driving. They had no idea where they were going but they drove for hours. The sky was beginning to darken and they had not spoken any words the whole drive.
“Maybe we should pull over,” said Eva quietly.
“Yeah...” was all Nick said before pulling the car over.
They had reached an unfamiliar area with bushy surroundings.
More silence filled the car as the ignition was turned off.
“What’s going on with you and that loser?” said Nick.
Eva’s body tightened.
“What do you mean? Absolutely nothing,” she replied.
“Don’t you find this whole situation strange?” questioned Nick. “I mean you never talk back to teachers and now you’re running away from them. People don’t change unless there’s good reason too.”
Nick was right, but Eva couldn’t admit the mistakes she had made.
Luckily, Nick decided to drive off at that moment and begin the long journey back to Eva’s house.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Eva had said goodbye to Nick and swore that what happened tonight would be kept secret- particularly their new friendship. It was funny how the people in high school who you have least in common with could end up being a new found friend in a time you need them most. She shut the car door and took a breath of fresh air. The nights events hadn’t left her much time to breathe. She looked across to her neighbour’s house and could have sworn she saw Sam peeking through his window. She nodded to him but was unsure if he could see her in the dark.
She began trudging up the stairs to find a visitor on her doorstep.
It was none other than the man she had wanted to rid from her life.
“It’s 12:45 in the morning,” said Gerard sharply getting up from the top stair he had been sitting on.
“Get the hell away from my house before I scream so loud the neighbours call the police,” said Eva through gritted teeth.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing with, Nick?” said Gerard angrily.
“What I do with Nick is none of your god damn business!” said Eva her voice reaching a higher pitch.
Gerard buried his hands in his face.
“Stop playing games, Eva!” he screamed.
“Who the fuck do you think you are you disgusting excuse for a man?” screamed Eva back. She walked towards her door and pulled the key to let herself in but Gerard was too quick for her. He had grabbed her arm and spun her around and Eva was left facing his cold, terrifying yet somehow warm eyes.
“I am a shadow of what I was. I have lost everything. I can’t lose you as well,” he said, his eyes boring into her terrified but beautiful eyes.
“You’ve already lost me,” whispered Eva not breaking the barrier of eye contact between them.
“That’s where you’re wrong Eva,” he said. “Because I never allowed myself to have you, and that's why we're in this mess now.”
With that he turned away from her beautiful face and walked away.

Gerard was a mess. He hadn’t slept for thirty hours and his heart felt as if it had been swallowed by the acid churning in his stomach. He had gone to the service station and bought three packets of cigarettes and smoked all of them in the hours between one-thirty and three in the morning. He had eventually fallen asleep at five and was woken by his alarm at seven.
He had considered calling in sick to work, and was almost tempted when he remembered he had left his laptop on his desk. He struggled to get out of bed and shot down four aspirins before hopping in the shower.
By the time he had arrived to work, the school playground was filled with school kids. He had arrived later than usual due to his throbbing headache. By the time he had reached his staffroom the first bell had rang for roll call. He grabbed his laptop and headed towards his classroom where his year nine kids were waiting to be marked into the roll. The excitement surrounding his ‘rock star status’ still hung around the students, them still not quite comprehending how such a famous musician had come to teach them.
After settling the kids down and marking the roll he opened his laptop and told his students to read silently. They did as they were told as they could tell their famous teacher wasn’t feeling his best. His eyes were sallow and his face looked paler than usual. His hair was limp and his attitude was cold.
Gerard had logged into his macbook before finding that he had several emails waiting for him all which had come after Eva’s detention.
MIKEY- I’m worried
MIKEY- Call me
FRANK- Pick up ya phone
LINDSEY- (NO SUBJECT)
RAY- DUDE
His heart leapt at Lindsey’s name.
He decided to read that email last.
“Great,” Gerard thought. The last thing he wanted was the world he needed a break from coming to find him. His eyes landed on the one from Lindsey. He wasn’t sure how he could find the courage to open it. His heart leapt and he clicked on her email."""
Gerard stared at the screen.
His heart had already been swallowed by the acid in his stomach, and now his stomach had been swallowed by the waves of shock his mind sent down through his body. He needed to leave instantly.
But he stayed.

10:34 LINSDSEY
(NO SUBJECT)
The paternity test results came back. They are attached. She’s yours, as I told you she would be. What I did was a mistake and I will spend my life trying to make it up to you.
I will always love you. What we have is eternal. We met because we were meant to be together. Just come home. We can forget this happened.
Love always,
Lindz- your missing piece.
Gerard stared at the screen.
His heart had already been swallowed by the acid in his stomach, and now his stomach had been swallowed by the waves of shock his mind sent down through his body. He needed to leave instantly.
