I heard snores and sat up looking over at Gerard who had officially fell asleep from boredom. I smiled at myself and gently stood from the couch creeping out of his apartment. I twisted the handle very slowly as to not wake him up and slowly shut it. The handle squeaked when I twisted it the other way making me cringe and hope he didn't hear.

As soon as the door was shut I made my way up the stairs and into my apartment. I walked in and got a huge whiff of lemon for some reason. I heard a squirting kind of noise and looked over at my tele to see an Air freshener. I smiled knowing it was Gerard who bought it for me. I inhaled again through my nose and savored the sweet smell.

I walked into my room and the clock flashed 8. I decided that before I went to bed I should have a shower first, I feel kind of dirty. I stripped my clothes from my body apart from my knickers and grabbed a towel making my way into the bath room. I then slid off my knickers stood in the 'shower box' and turned the water on, feeling each drop on my skin. It felt kind of comforting, you know, the kind of feeling you get when someone is holding you tight while you sleep.

I grabbed the soap and gently smoothed it over my body to cleanse my skin. I put the soap back onto the ledge and reached for my shampoo, squirting some into my hands and lathered it into my hair. The bubbles produced from the shampoo ran down the side of my face and over my shoulders, I turned my back to the shower head and rinsed my hair.

I stepped out of the shower feeling the cold air hit my skin, I flinched a bit at the feeling and quickly wrapped myself in it. It was only 20 past 8, but it's good to have an early night once in a while.

I walked around my room and gathered a pair of shorts and a small top to wear to bed. I laid down and pulled my blanket over me, curling into the fetal position to keep me warm. It was still very weird not having Andrew sleeping on the other side, but I guess it was something I was going to have to get used to, and fast.

My eyes opened quickly and blinked a few times, my body had shook me out of my sleep, I can't even remember what I was dreaming about. I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling for about 5 minutes until I finally decided to get out of bed. I threw on my house robe and walked into the living room setting myself down onto the couch.

I lifted the remote and turned the tele on. After searching through the channels for a while I decided to check for mail downstairs. Taking the front door keys off the coffee table I made my way out of my apartment and down the stairs to the letter boxes. I unlocked the letterbox for number 3 and pulled out a few letters, all of them were bills. Great. I wasn't going to be able to support myself without a job. There was also a news paper amongst the bills, weird.

I made my way back up and into my apartment. This was nice, a quiet day of reading through the news paper for job vacancies. There were a few, the only ones I was interested in was Alter Ego, a tattoo studio and Hot Topic. I got off the couch and went to my room to get dressed. I got out a pair of black cords which weren't too wide at the bottom, a silver studded belt, a black tank top with a tummy corset and a black hoodie with cat ears attached to the hood. I looked at myself in the mirror, I haven't grown up at all.

I walked around town for a while before popping into Hot Topic, it was pretty packed but not really, if that makes any sense at all. There was a tall skinny man at the counter, very pale skin and long hair which looked straight and greasy, but wasn't. I walked over and as I approached the desk he stared at me. "Urm, I heard you had vacancies?" He nodded and bent down. He stood up and handed an application form. "Thank you." He smiled and turned to the customer behind me. Wow, great service.

I made my way further up from Hot Topic to the tattoo studio Alter Ego. Inside the air was clean and it was pretty cool. I took note in the floor and walls being white, glass shelves showing off a few banana bars, nose rings, everything. The woman behind the counter smiled at me. "Do you need any help?" Her bright pink hair was held back tightly, she had black eyeliner in thick lines around her eyes, tattoos up her arms and her piercing, I loved her piercings. She had the bottom lip pierced three times, the left, the middle and the right. The top lip was pierced in the middle, she also had her eyebrow pierced which looked kind of odd on its own.

"Hi, I was wondering if I could have an application form." He smiled and turned around giving me a good view of the bar in the back of her neck. She turned back to me and handed the piece of paper. "Thanks." I smiled and walked out the door. Time to go back home.

The bus home (Yes I took the bus) was quiet apart from the kids at the back playing their 'cool' music really loud. I mean, I'm sure everyone doesn't really want to listen to their crap, kids have no respect these days. My stop came up and I was relieved to get away. I walked to the bottom of the street, as I was about to walk up the path to the flats someone grabbed me round the waist lifted me from the ground and swung me around. I couldn't help but laugh.

I was put back down and turned to see the smiling face of Gerard Way. "Hey you." I nudged his shoulder playfully "Hey, where did you go last night?" He asked as we both started to walk into the flats. "You started snoring, I needed a shower too, and a good nights sleep." He nodded. We walked up to my apartment, he obviously wanted to hang out. "I take it you're coming in." I laughed. "Of course. "You can help me with my application forms." He nodded and we both walked in, me shutting the door behind us.

Gerard plopped himself onto my couch and turned the tele on. "Oh, so you didn't come to see me then?" He smiled. "I'm in love with you T.V, sorry I didn't tell you sooner." I rolled my eyes and kneeled down to the coffee table to fill out my applications. "Why do I never see you going out to work?" I asked not taking my eyes off what I was doing. "I will get one, Mikey's trying to get me a job at Barnes and Noble." I looked at him and laughed, he just smiled and carried on watching tele.

"Done!" I said proudly putting down my pen. "Awesome." "I'll take them in tomorrow." "I'll come with you." "Oh will you now?" "Well why not?" I smiled and shook my head. "Don't worry, I was joking." "You better had been." Gerard said giving me a playful stare. I got back onto my feet and moved onto the couch. Gerard was watching Spiderman on Jetix. "Gosh, you are a big kid." I laughed, he nodded. "While we're out tomorrow we have to go into our comic book shop cause I've read all my new ones." "That's fine with me.

About an hour ago Gerard turned over to Dragonheart, I had tissue in my hands. It was the ending where Draco was stabbed in the heart with his spear and said those famous lines. "To the stars Bowen, to the stars." I wiped my eyes once more when Gerard looked at me. "Are you crying?" He asked with a bit of a chickle. "No, I poked myself in the eye." I laughed looking away from him. "Whatever." He pushed me with his foot so I pushed him back. "I hate you." I said curling into a ball. I felt him moving about the sofa. "No you don't." He laughed, for a minute he was sat still, until I felt a tickling pain in my sides. I flipped my head back against the arm rest screaming with laughter. "Gerard stop!" I shouted. He stopped and I laid still with my eyes closed for a while untill my breathing had slowed down to it's normal rate.

I opened my eyes to looked at Gerard. "You're so mean." He shook his head. "No I'm not, and you know it." I smiled and closed my eyes again. "I'm bored now." "Yeah, me too. You hungry?" I nodded. "Fish and Chips?" I nodded again. "Come on then." He grabbed my wrist and pulled me off the sofa and onto his shoulder. "Oh Gerard, put me down." He carried me out of my apartment, making sure he had shut the door afterwards, down the stairs and up the road.

"Gerard, your shoulder is digging into my stomach." I giggle, but he still didn't put me down. I hung my head and looked through the gap between Gerard's arm and his side and saw the fish and chips shop. "You're going to have to put me down now." I laughed, and he did. I had never been so happy for my feet to be on the floor. He gave me a cheeky smile and opened the door for me.

We sat at a table at the back where we could sit in peace, Gerard was up ordering our food. He came back empty handed. "They're bringing it to us." I smiled and nodded. "I don't know what to do with my life anymore." I moaned into my hands. "What do you mean?" "I'm a bum." We both started laughing and I put my hands back down. "No, I'm joking, I just need to see my parents and let them know of what's happened, but I don't know if I should." "Why not?" I looked at him and then at the table. "Long story." Gerard went to open his mouth to say something when he was interupted by a waitress placing our food on the table. "Thanks." Gerard said and I just smiled up at her.

We sat quietly for a bit while we ate, Gerard had a huge cod fish, it was only suppose to be small but it looks big enough to feed a small village, the chips were chunky and the outside looked crispy. I then looked at my pie, steak and onion was my favourite. I only had a pie and a can of diet coke, it was enough for me I never eat too much, just enough to fill my stomach. "I'll come with you." I looked at Gerard with a confused expression on my face. I quickly swallowed what was in my mouth before answering. "What?" "I'll come with you, to your parents, if it helps." "Urm, you don't have to-" "No, I want to, so, when do you want to go?" "I'll figure that out tomorrow after handing my application forms in." He smiled widley and nodded his head before carrying on with his food.
