Charlie looked almost hopeful for a second, before shaking her head roughly as if to shake herself awake. "no. he was proababl just doing it cos he felt it was his duty, not because he loves me."

"He hit mikey for pretty much the same reason" said Jaden offhandedly, Knowing gerard hyad NEVER hit Mikey before.

"he hit MIKEY?! teh bastard." said charlie angrily

"Mikey hit him back" Jaden assured her "he then spent half the day crying, he's a wreck"

"he just told me he didnt love me! I heard him!"

"Did you hear Gerard or Gee?"

"what?"

"I like to think of him as two people. gee, who's the guy we kno, and Gerard who's...this"

"well, he was telling teh truth, he doesnt love me. so i;m guessing taht would be gee."

Jaden shook his head "You know what? it's not my problem anymore. I'm not becoming as jaded as the rest fo you. Now, I have to see a man about a cake"
