i started working after the class

i got my shift until 9:00 pm

after that,

gerard and i met in the front of our house

we're sitting on the concrete side walk

"i was wondering,

why do you want a job?

are you thinking of it as a distraction like i did?"

he didn't answer

"gerard, you can tell me what's bothering you"

"it's just i feel weird"

i looked at him and he's staring at his shoes

"what do you mean?" i asked

"i'm just, you know,

i've been thinking a little too much recently"

i looked at him

"i've been in the same thing,

it sucks"

he looked up at me

i smiled at him

"i'm here to help you"

he hugged me

he burried his nose on my neck

i can feel his breathing

"thank you," he whispered

"anytime," i said
