I'm not okay I promise

Callie woke up the next morning at nine o’clock on Gerard’s sofa. Gerard was beside her. They had fallen asleep watching another film (not a scary one this time). He had his arms around her. Collie’s head was resting on his shoulder and his head on her head. She didn’t lift her head up in case she woke him up. She could feel him breathing. He looked happy. She smiled. When he woke he said

“Morning Callie, how long have you been awake?”

“Not long. Two or three minutes.” She hugged him “Can I have something to eat? I’m starving!” Callie asked. Gerard got them both some cereal.

After, she went up into the bathroom and got changed. When he came down Gerard was changed too.

“What do you wana do today?” He asked her

“I dunno. I don’t really wana go home yet. I know I’ll be in trouble one way or another.” Callie said

“Do you wana meet up with Mikey and them lot?” Gerard said

“Sure.” She flicked her phone up and dialled

“What?”

“Hey Mikey. It’s Callie”

“What do you want?” He said to her

“What’s wrong?” She asked

“Hang over.” He said

“Oh right. I’m guessing Bob and Ray are with you too,” Callie said looking at Gerard as she spoke.

“Yus. Now fuck off.” He hung up.

“That’s them out of the concept.”

“Yeah. And Frank is grounded the fucker.” Gerard said, “Lets just go somewhere.” Gerard said

“Whatever. This is your town. Still I haven’t a clue where anything is.” Callie said putting her hands in her pockets. She turned to walk out

“Or…” He said. Callie turned back around “I could teach you some more of our songs.” He looked at her. She gradually smiled and said

“Sure.”
