"So, you say that you and Gerard met again because of the guy who happened to be Gerard's brother," Laura said again trying to figure out what had happened.
You nodded again watching the raindrops falling on your window.
"And then you went for coffee with him," she said again.
"Yes," you said smiling with the memory of you and Gerard drinking coffee at Starbucks.
"How was it?"
"Pleasant," you replied not wanting to give anymore details. You wanted to keep this memory only for yourself.
"Alright then," she paused. "How's Chris?" Laura's question echoed in your ears.
"Chris is fine," you said getting up and sitting again down on the couch that used to be Gerard's bed.
Laura looked at you with her big eyes. It was like she was trying to read your mind.
"He hasn't called me yet and it's been ages. It's like he doesn't like me anymore," you said not being able but to worry.
"I've noticed you and him don't get along lately."
You agreed nodding.
"I've also noticed...," she continued making you roll your eyes. She would never shut up. "...that you and Chris started arguing after Gerard came in your life."
"Wha-? No! What makes you say that? Me and Gerard are just friends. Chris can't be jealous!"
"Only friends huh? Then why did Chris find him on top of you the first time he met him?"
"Gerard was tickling me. I couldn't move," you said defensivly.
Laura smirked. "Then why did you get kissed that day at Starbucks when you wentat the park?"
You looked at her. 'How did she know that?'
You were really confused.
'Was Gerard the one who told her about it?'
"I figured that out on my own," she said smiling, her eyes shining like she had discovered something valuable.
"Does C-Chris..." you stummered.
Laura cat you off. "No, he doesn't. Only me, Frank and Mickey know." She covered her mouth when she said the last name.
So that was the reason she was staying at home all those days.
"The encounter with Gerard," you whispered. YOU had planned everything from the beggining.
You told Mickey to fall on me!" You stood up and approached her. Your hands were shaking.
"Why did you do this?" you asked stopping in front of her.
She sighed. "I thought you were smart enough to understand." She made a long pause and then she continued talking. "Chris treats you like crap and we, I mean I thought that Gerard was the best guy for you and Frank thought that with you, Gerard would finally forget bout his ex. Then I met Mickey, he wanted to help his brother too and then all these happened."
"We got kissed at the park. If Chris saw that he would kill me!" you almost screamed.
"Nope," she said calmly. "You kissed Gerard with your own will. Me and the guys had nothing to do with it."
Your blood was boiling. You hated it when she was right. You had kissed him with your own will.
When all the things started getting cleared out, they all became confusing again.
"Forget about me and Gerard getting together. I am with Chris!! Just deal with it!" you said angrily.
"We will all stay friends," you said ten minutes later after you had finally calmed down.
Laura smiled and came next to you hugging you tightly. "We will forget all the things that happened, I promise," she said crossing her fingers behind her back.
