Rules He Broke [G-eazy]

Chapter 34: Touring What?

Sorry for a day late update. I saw NF this past week with logic. Logic was lowkey an asshole. I'm from Maryland and had to see him in NJ. He was just giving off a bad vibe. Nf was way better. Mad respect for Nate.

Gerald POV

"It's gotta happen G. We can't just hide up in the studio. Touring the world is kind of your job." Matt took a drag before handing it to me. "We're touring the world."

"Touring what?"

"You heard me." He huffed as I took a drag. We'd been hiding out at Carly's house. Nothing had changed much. Except for the fact that she was more secluded than usual. Claiming she had work to do. I knew she missed him and I knew cried. Though she'd never admit it. "What's got you fucked up?" Matt chimed in as I shrugged and handed the blunt to Grady before slipping down into my seat in the pool

"Carly. She's just got me thinking."

"You said you two were sleeping together."

"We were... A week after James died. Then she just shut down. She's been locked up in her office. I think she literally sleeps in there."

"She does." I glanced to Lisa who sat down by the side of the pool. "She's working on the case. She won't give me any details. She's being Carly." I shook my head and stood, heading inside. Her office was down the hall with frosted glass doors. I knocked before walking inside. She glanced up to me, her eyes swollen from lack of sleep or years. Maybe both.

"Hey... Can we talk?" She shrugged and sat down the paper.

"Did you know?"

"huh?" I sat down and she took a deep breath.

"Ana... I visited her in jail. She told me you knew she was going to kill James. She asked you to choose Gerald. So.... Did you know?" I shook my head know before running my fingers through my hair.

"She asked me to choose. I told her kill me, but she...she's crazy. I didn't know she would actually go after either of you. That night at the restaurant. She told me James sent her husband to prison. Carly I didn't know."

"I know... But she's going to pin anything she can on you Gerald." She sighed and checked her watch. "I've gotta tell Nate about the tour."

"I'm sure he already knows. So you gonna go with us?"

"I'm gonna have to Gerald. I'll just be flying back and forth... A lot." She stood and motioned to the door of her office. "I have a lot of work to do Ger. We'll talk later."

"Car, stop pushing everyone away. Come outside. Relax for five minutes." I was walking to the door like she asked. " Where is my favourite girl at?" I mumbled yet she shrugged as she looked at me.

"Ger I-I don't even know what to do any more. Let alone if you and I are a thing.... I thought I knew what love was and what I wanted. Now I just want to watch Ana get sentenced to life. I-Im sorry. We can talk later.... Much later." She nearly closed the door on my face, not in a rude manner, but it was her way of ending the conversation.

I sighed and returned to the others. The days kept passing by like this all the way to the tour start date. It was a chilly morning, sitting at the airport as we waited for the signal that we could board. Nate was chatting to Carly about something, his hat with the word REAL seemed to never come off his head.

"What's got you brooding?" Grady chuckled before taking a sip of his coffee.

" The thing that has had me brooding for months." I sighed and rubbed my face. The girl I loved seemingly could love any more. Yeah she talked to all of us, but she was shut off. Her emotions didn't care surface.

"Now boarding." The single attendant stated and motioned to the gate that would lead to stairs for us to walk down to the tarmac and get on the jet.

"First stop Las Vegas." Matt hollered to all of us. "So many thrilled faces."

"Is Michigan on the list?" Nate chimed in, which was rare. Yeah he talked, but that was once in a blue moon.

"Yeah like two weeks from now." Carly sat in one of the window seats, Nate was by her side and I was across from them with Lani.

A part of me twisted inside seeing him glance to her now and then. He was her biggest protector. Something I had failed at miserably. As the flight got going she was asleep, her head on his shoulder and a blanket tossed over her thanks to Lisa.

"What's up with you two lately?" I mumbled and Nate sat down his book.

" She came to me about James." He glanced to her for a moment. " She was fucked up. Sobbing and asking me how she was suppose to keep going. She stayed over my place one night. We just watched movies and talked. I think she was hoping I could give her advice since the whole... Mom thing."

"She probably blames me." He shook his head before looking to the window as if to ponder his thoughts.

"Nah if anything she blamed herself or James for getting himself killed. He was a huge lawyer in he industry. He made a lot of enemies. Hell if tupac was a lawyer it would be him." I laughed weakly before looking to her.

"You still love her don't you?"

"Don't you still love her too?" He sighed. "She's never done a damn thing wrong to anyone you know? No matter what everyone does to her she's still innocent Carly. She was there through everyone's bullshit even when she had her own."

"Ain't that the truth..." I sighed before rubbing my face. I should have known this was gonna be a long tour.
