"Are you okay?" asked a voice close but far away at the same time. I looked up from my knee's, rather annoyed at said person who was interrupting my 'emo' time.
"Does it look like I'm okay? Are you stalking me or something?" I snapped. My neighbor. The man with the sunglasses. Mr 'Don't Take Anybodies Shit'
He looked down and I felt a little bad "Look, I'm sorry. I've been have a really bad day." He nodded empathetically.
"Why are you sitting outside in the rain?"
I snorted and told him I was locked out and no one was home. He frowned and looked my wet clothes "Do you know when there going to be back?" I shock my head and sneezed. The man frowned and patted my shoulder.
"You can't stay outside all day." he said. standing up and offering his hand. I cocked my head to the side and sent him a suspicious look. He could be a fucking rapist for all I know. I guess he could yell what I was thinking because he smiled and said "I swear I'm not a serial killer or anything!"
I smiled tightly still not quite beleaving him "I live next door. You can go home whenever you want, I promise I wont try anything," he said putting a hand over his heart "I'm not a pervert."
I smiled a little and took his hand. He looked so familiar, but I couldn't think of where I'd seen him! Don't you just hate it when that happens?
"So do you have a name?" the stranger asked, looking over his shoulder with a really cute side smirk. I blushed. How does one forget to say her own name?!
"It's Delilah but I like to be called Lilah." he grinned a little and asked the dreaded 'question'
"Like the song 'Hey There Delilah?' Do people randomly start singing it to you?" I blushed and looked down. My parents of course hadn't heard the song when they named me but that didn't stop everyone singing the song.
"Yeah people sing it ALL the time..." I snorted "It gets pretty old."
The stranger unlocked his front door and beckoned me forward. The entryway was way different then ours. The walls where red with black trim compared to our light butter yellow walls with white trim. There where pictures of cartoon vampires, mummies and a creepy thing that might have been a monkey in a funny looking hat...
"Do you have a name? Mister 'I'm So tense At Starbucks It's Looks Like I Have A Stick Up My Ass." The man burst out laughing at my question. I let out a reluctant giggle. I still don't know who the hell he is and I'm standing in his condo, alone, with him... Thats just creepy!
"Was I really that obvious?" I snorted and started laughing almost as hard as he was.
"Yes you where! I mean you were so tense everyone could tell!"
"Right. Next time I get coffee I'll loosen up a bit."
He started to take off his jean jacket and tossed his wallet on the table near the door "Your avoiding the question." I persisted. His shoulder slumped and he turned to face me pulling his sunglasses off to reveal the most amazing set of hazel I'd ever seen.
They where chocolate with caramel mixed in and gold flecks here and there.
"I'm Gerard, Gerard Way..." he had taken a step back as if I was going to pounce on him or something. Then I stuck my hand out for him to shake.
"Nice to meet you Gerard!" I exclaimed. Gerard looked a little taken aback at my reaction I guess because his eyes went really wide and his mouth was open.
"What?" I asked suspiciously.
"You aren't going to start screaming or jump on me?!"
"Why would I do that?" I asked once again cocking my head to the side.
"Because..." he started hesitantly, shifting from foot to foot "I'm the lead singer in the band My Chemical Romance..."
I stared at him for a few minuets before bursting out laughing. He looked at me in shock again and I laughed harder.
"You think I'd jump on you and start screaming like a fan girl?" I wiped my eyes and stared at him. Damn it! Thats were I'd seen him, on MTV!
"Well...Yeah..." said Gerard smiling a little. I shook my head and shivered a little.
"You should take a shower or something," he said wave a hand at my sopping clothes "You must be freezing, where are my manners!"
He started walking up the stars and made a right where a smallish bathroom was. The walls where dark green and cream stripped with roses all over and there was a big cast iron mirror above the sink, directly across from a pretty good sized shower.
Gerard handed me a towel and said set some clothes on the counter "I'll be in the kitchen when your done!" he said brightly, shutting the door and going back down stairs.
As I stood under the hot water I let out a silent scream in my mind and smiled widely. I, Delilah Grey was in a rock stars shower. Now that I remembered him I also remember that Ryan had a huge crush on him to!
First he would be going on about how Gerard Way had stolen Marilyn Manson's make up style and then he would go on to say that Gerard was so cute and could get away with it. I rolled my eyes, Ryan was such a fairy.
