Chapter three: Dead!

Bellville New Jersey 1994:
Gerard was in a daze. His mouth opened a bit and his eyes lids lowered like as if he was about to fall asleep. He leaned on his hand and continued to watch her. Laurel Hennings, one of the most popular girls in school sat three tables away from Gerard.
"Hey Romeo snap out of it." Ray waved his hand in front of Gerard.
"Hmm? What?" They just stared at him.
"Bro you're never gonna get her." Mikey said. Gerard shot him a look. "Just stating the obvious." Gerard sighed and continued watching her. Her blond locks fell over her shoulder as she laughed at whatever her friend had said.
"Yeah I know." He sighed as the bell rang and the three of them got up from the lunch table. Gerard was almost going to go over to Laurel and say something but someone stepped in his way.
"Hey loser" He pushed Gerard "get our of my way!" Gerard stumbled back and Ray caught his arm.
"Hey fuck off Blake!" Ray shouted.
He turned around. "What did you say to me punk?" Ray looked scared shitless.
"I said lovely weather we're having…" Blake looked at the rain beyond the window and shot Ray a look. Ray ran passed us and we followed him. Gerard looked back at Laurel who was kissing Blake. Gerard sighed and hung his head then carried on to class.
~~
Day after day passed by Gerard watched her and Blake. Gerard envied him so much to the point he turned to drugs and alcohol. It was his only escape; like most teenagers who turn to destructive decisions who are generally depressed. Gerard wanted Laurel so bad that he changed as he watched her change. Laurel and Blake got more and more serious as the year dragged on. Gerard tried writing music but everything he wrote he just threw out. Nothing was working. He was sick and tired of feeling like nothing. He was just wasting his life away as he watched her be happy with him. Gerard feared that he wouldn't make it through high school.
"Hey Gerard!" Gerard looked up from the cigarette he was lighting. Jason Bradley, a former best friend now mutual friend of Gerard's stood in front of him holding some flyers. He was about five feet, six inches and finely combed brown hair with a devious smile that could knock a girl out. "I'm throwing a party tonight wanna come?" He handed Gerard one of the flyers.
"Gee I dunno Jason. I'm not really the social type." Gerard mumbled through his cigarette. He scanned the flyer.
"Oh come on! You can bring Mikey and Ray!" Jason smiled with pleading deep brown eyes.
"Hmm maybe. I'll talk it over with Mikes and Ray." Gerard's tone was a bit hopeful.
"Awesome!" Jason nearly jumped. "See you tonight."
"Yeah, see ya." Gerard said to himself as Jason walked away.
~~
Gerard pulled up to Jason's house in an old blue Volkswagen with Ray in the front seat and Mikey in the back. "Hey dude, you okay?" Ray asked patting him on the back.
"Hmm? Oh yeah I'm good." Gerard faked a smile and Ray gave him a concerning look. The walk up to the front door felt like the walk of shame to Gerard.
"Hey guys come in come in!" Jason held the door open for them.
"Hey man haven't spoken to you in a while…" Ray and Jason stayed to chat while Gerard walked to the backyard. He felt like he was looking for someone but he wasn't sure who. Feeling so out of place from all this socialization there was a tap on his shoulder.
"Gerard!" A voice said behind him. Turning quickly Laurel stood under the amazing moonlight before him just like he had always pictured.
"Laurel hey!" He smiled so corny it made her laugh and almost fall over from all the beers she had already drunken. "Whoa don't fall." He caught her arm and helped her up. He couldn't help but blush. So mesmerized by her beauty he searched for words to say. Before he could say anything someone pushed him for behind. He fell like an idiot in front of everyone. Childish laughter came from everywhere.
"Hey loser what are ya doing touching my girlfriend?!" Pissed off and drunk Blake came to ruin Gerard's moment. He got up and moved passed the people. He just wanted to be alone, as usual. "YEAH GET OUTTA HERE LOSER!" Blake threw a beer bottle at Gerard but missed.
Gerard lost track of time but he knew it had to be pushing 3:00 A.M. How many beers he had drunken? He hadn't a clue; he'll let Ray drive. Shocking him out of his mopping state, ambulances and police cars rushed by. People started to rush to the front yard to watch them go by. "What's going on?" Gerard asked some kid next to him.
"Blake Faelon and Laurel Henning's got into a car accident. I hope their okay…" Gerard had stormed off to his car before the kid could finish his sentence. Fiddling with his car keys suicide thought zoomed throughout his mind. Unable to see or collect himself, the attempt to find the right key failed when Ray put an arm around him and put him in the back seat with Mikey. Gerard couldn't remember much after that except passing out and waking up in his bed the next afternoon.
~~
The weekend was like a suspenseful living hell for everyone including Gerard. He didn't leave his room all weekend until Monday came. Gerard so didn't want to go to school but he was hopeful to find some information on Laurel. The drive to school was quiet- Ray drove. Walking up the steps the three friends focused their eyes on what the Press Club kids where handing out. It was the school newspaper with the heading:
DEAD!
Gerard's world stopped.
