• Gerard: My Way Home Is Through You

    tab It was late afternoon when a crowd of fan girls came chasing me down the streets of New York. Too lazy to find a better hiding place, I jumped into the nearest bush. That’s when she spotted me.
    tab “ Um…. is someone there?” she said. I’ve never heard such an innocent voice before. And then I heard them coming.
    tab “ Quick! Get down!” I pulled her into the bush without thinking.
    tab “Ow…. Hey! What’s going on?!” she practically yelled.
    tab “ Shhh! I’ll tell you after they leave! Trust me! If they find us, we’re both done for!” I told her covering her mouth.
    “ Hey, where’d he go?”
    “ I don’t know. I think he went that way”
    “ Wait! There he goes!”
    “ Get him!”
    “ Gerard! Over here!”
    They left. I relaxed. And then… she bit me.
    tab “ OW! WHAT THE ******** WAS THAT FOR?!” I jumped at they pain.
    tab “ That was for pulling me into a bush, getting me all dirty and for covering my mouth while I was still talking!” I kinda blanked out. I mean she was this total hot chick with the voice of a five-year-old and a cat ears! And the most incredible eyes I’ve ever seen. They were gray but when the hit the light turn aqua. Back to earth. “You scared me half to death! And you probably scared Yachi…” she hesitated. Then her face went pale…. “YACHIRU! YACHIRU! WHERE ARE YOU?!” she jumped into the bush, digging under dead leaves, looking for something.
    tab Squeak

    tab “YACHIRU!” She said in a little kid’s voice. And it turned out to be that Yachiru was… a rat. I picked it up and gave it to her. “Oh my gosh! Yachiru! You found her! I thought I might had lost you!” She squeezed that so hard, I thought its eyeballs were going to pop out!
    tab “ Dude! Stop! You’re going to squeeze it to death!” I laughed out loud.
    tab “ Huh? Oops! My bad. Heheh…Um…I’m really sorry for biting you, it just that I thought you we’re gonna rape me or something.”
    tab “ Haha…” I was surprised she wasn’t squealing by now. I mean what girl wouldn’t? I’m Gerard Way for god’s sake.
    tab “ What’s so funny?”
    tab “ Nothing. I’m just surprised, you’re not screaming or anything…”
    tab “ Screaming? Should I have a reason to?” She asked backing up, doing some kind of wannbe kung fu pose
    tab “Uh…don’t you see who I am?” I asked in shock.
    tab "No. I can’t. I’m blind.”
    tab “ Oh…um…oops…I’m really sorry…” idiot.
    tab “It’s ok. I’m used to it.”
    tab “But if you’re blind, how’d you find me in the bushes?”
    tab “I didn’t find you, Yachiru did. Plus I can feel your aura.”
    tab “Yachiru?”
    tab “Oh I’m sorry I didn’t introduced us. Hi, I’m Amaya Heartnet. And this is Yachiru.” She put out her hand. I took it and then she put out her rat’s hand. I put out my finger. She carefully dropped Yachiru into her skirt pocket. “ So what your name?”
    tab “ I’m Ger…Ger...” I couldn’t her I was Gerard. This was the first time in long time that I was being talked to like a person. “My name is Jared…Bay?” Stupid! That was probably the worst make-up name ever but she didn’t seem to notice.
    tab “ Oh. Hey Jared! Oh ya, Yachiru helps me see, so that how I found you.”
    tab “ And Yachiru‘s a… rat .”
    tab “ She‘s not a rat! She‘s a mouse! A Highly Trained Mouse!”
    tab “ Well, sorry.”
    tab “ So tell me, Jared, why were those girls chasing you?”
    tab “ Oh…um…” I tried to think of an explanation, “I accidentally…went into the girls’ bathroom… and um…ya...”
    tab “ Oh. Well I bet it wasn’t an accident, huh huh?” she said in a voice, nudging me.
    tab “ Haha…wait…WHAT? WAIT! THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT!”
    tab “ HAHA…sure. You perv!”
    tab “ YOU WERE THE ONE THINKING I WAS GONNA RA-”
    tab “ Ooh…I hear the ice cream truck! Let go get some!” she grabbed my hand and dragged me to the ice cream truck. It really puzzled me how Amaya can act like best friends with a total stranger.
    tab We walk up to the ice cream truck and there, awaiting us, was the ice cream man. He looked in his late 50’s with the usual ice cream outfit.
    tab “ Hi! Um… can I get a waffle cone with raspberry chocolate, coffee, lime sherbet with gummy bears, sprinkles and a cherry on top?” Amaya asked really fast, fluttering her long eyelashes, a huge smile wiped across her face like a little kid. Both the ice cream man and me stared at her in amazement.
    tab “ Um…sure? And what can I get you, sir?”
    tab “ Huh? Oh…um…Chocó.. chocolate” I managed to choked out, still staring at Amaya. Smile n’all.
    tab “ So what brings you young folks to the park today? You guys on a date or something?”
    tab “ Oh… n-”
    tab "Yup ^_~! Our 8th month anniversary! Right Jarry-poo?” she giggled, hugging my arm.
    tab “ Ah…I see. Well I’m happy for you two! Just for that I’ll add more sprinkles!” the ice cream man cheered.
    tab “YAY!” she beamed.
    tab “ Huh…wait no! It’s not like that!” I shouted while pulling my arm away.
    tab “ What!? It’s not like that?! What are you trying to say? That I’m not your girlfriend?!” she exclaimed. I noticed she was trying to keep herself from laughing. And then I eventually I caught on. “ There’s someone else, isn’t there!?” By now, people started watching. I had to stop her! She was going way too over the top for free ice cream. But what could I do?
    tab “ NO! it’s not that! I…I…” I started to panic. I reached in my pocket and took off my ring and pulled it back out. I knelt down and raised the ring towards her. “ Um…I was going to say…. um…is that… will you like to spend the rest of your life with me?” WHAT WAS I SAYING!?
    tab The crowd of people watching us gasped. Amaya looked confused but quickly recovered.
    tab “ Um…yes?” she took the ring and put that giant smile of hers. “ YES! YES!” she called out jumping on me.
    tab The crowd cheered. This whole moment felt unreal. I mean first I was chased into the bushes (which is hardly unusual) and ended up asking some blind chick that I just met to be my wife in front of an ice cream truck and a crowd of drama-hungry people! Plus she said yes! And don’t even know if she’s playing along or if she’s SERIOUS! HOW DID I GET MYSELF INTO THIS MESS!!!
    tab “ Well, this called for a celebration! I give you an ice cream party to celebrate! What time will be the best?” the ice cream man asked happily.
    tab “ Ooh, how abou-” I quickly cover her mouth.
    tab “ Um, no that’s fine. We’ll just take our ice cream. Right sweetie?” I asked her, harshly as if I didn’t care what she said.
    tab “ Well at least take the ice cream free, please, my treat.”
    tab “ OK! Hehe!” she pulled away from my hand.
    tab “ Ya, thanks. Now let’s go, honey.” I commanded pulling her by her arm.
    tab “ Okie dokie, pumpkin!” She said between licks of ice cream.
    Then, exactly what I didn’t want to happen…happened.

    Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!

    tab The crowd chanted. Oh god! Now what should I do? I mean, I would but not because people are expecting it ‘cause we’re getting MARRIED! Ahhh! I’m so confused! Then she opened her mouth to speak. Oh no!
    tab She gasped for air. “ LOOK OVER THERE! IS THAT SARAH JESSICA PARKER HERE FOR THE PREMIERE OF HER NEW MOVIE ‘SEX AND THE CITY’?”
    tab Everyone turn their heads to see a woman but it wasn’t Sarah. But you couldn’t really tell from far away, so the crowd ran in the direction Ayame’s finger was pointing.
    tab “ Run!” she shouted grabbing my arm. And we ran. Laughing all along the way.
