Gerald POV

I had made it finally. The last day of the festival before I was allowed to go home and find out her answer. It wasn't awful to be honest, other than the woman throwing themselves at me every night. The first night was the worst. My bus surrounded by half naked woman screaming Eazy or G, some even yelling Gerald to try and be different. I couldn't lie I liked the free titty shows and taking my time to sign their breasts or ass cheeks. Yet, in the end I didn't even kiss a single one. My mind was on the girl back home and of course the awaiting coke and liquor.

I sat up in the hotel bed and glanced at the clock, only a couple hours till I could get on a plane and go home. I checked my phone, shooting a quick text off to my mom before I heard Marty fumbling his way towards my bedroom door.

"Ayy! You decent in there?"

" Yeah come on in man."

"Ya know I'm surprised in you G... Not a single fuck up this week." I laughed and started packing.

" Well thanks?"

"Nah I mean... D has changed you. She was your girl and I think she will be again." A smile crossed my lips before I laughed again.

"I hope so." My phone began ringing it was ma of course. " Hey ma, what's up?"

"It's Danny... Her um... Her ex hung himself Gerald. The funeral is this afternoon and I think it would be best if you and James went with her for support."

"Don't you think it would be kind of weird that I'm going to her dead ex husband's funeral?"

" No, because you're taking your brother. You guys will look like close friends. What time will you be at the airport?"

"Probably 3 hours till I get back to the bay."

"Alright I'll pick you up. Bye babe."

"Bye mom." I sighed and tossed the phone in my carry on. "Fuck."

"What?

"Danny's ex killed himself."

"Over her?"

"I assume so, I dunno. I ain't feeling up to dealing with it right now." I pulled out the white powder and chopped it up fine with my debt card before snorting it up my nose. Marty just sighed and shook his head. He never fucked with coke, probably because of watching me constantly destroy myself with the substance. My face tingled then my whole body before finally I felt relaxed. Quickly I washed up and put some eye drops in before settling into a black T and some black skinny jeans. I put my sun glasses on and my leather jacket before grabbing my carry on and suitcase.

"Ready to roll out?" James mumbled, he was still hungover from three days of partying. I moved my face close to his ear.

"Yee!" He punched me in the shoulder and I worked for holding my arm. "Ouch that hurt sooo much."

"Fuck off Ger, you're high as hell."

" How would you know?"

"Because ma called me too. You tryna play it off like nothing is happening back home. We gotta go to fucking funeral in 4 hours. So straighten up yo." I rolled my eyes, he couldn't see obviously since I had my glasses on. We got into the elevator then rushed to the SUV as paparazzi snapped away. Marty and Blizzy sat up front while Grady, James, and I sat in the back.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled taking off my glasses once we started driving and hung them on my jacket . "I'm just tryna stay calm."

"I know bro, but that shit is gonna get out of control. You use to do it only at parties now it's like as soon as you wake up." I nodded slowly before looking back out the window.

"Sometimes I'm not ready to face the music."

"I am aware. D is gonna need you though. I know it's her ex, but I'm sure she cares." I just shrugged, thankfully the conversation ended with that motion. We pulled up the airport and quickly boarded the private plane before settling in for the quick hour and a half flight. I pulled out my phone.

@G_Eazy: Can't wait to be back in the bay area with the bae 😝

@DevonBaldwin: Can't wait to see you too.

I grumbled and deleted my tweet before setting my phone down. This wasn't going to be easy to get Devon to move on. Why? Because we had been on and off constantly for so many years. Us breaking up and getting back together was never a surprise. I slipped my headphones in and closed my eyes, listening to whatever decided to come on. Yet I couldn't get my mind off the girl whom was probably in mourning. Would she even wanna try with us considering what had just occurred. I opened my eyes again and quickly pulled up our messages. I hadn't said a word all week just because she asked for her space.

Ger: Hey, I'll be home soon. I missed you. We'll get through this together.

Danny: Can't wait to see you, really you dunno how much I miss you. Your mom said she would pick you up. I'll meet you at your place?

Ger: Sure wherever you want x

Danny: Thanks. I've actually stayed here the past couple days I hope you don't mind :/

Ger: I don't babe, just curious why tho?

Danny: It sounds stupid but I just couldn't sleep unless I felt close to you.

Ger: We'll be very close soon. G2G plane is about to take off, I'll lose reception.

Danny: See you soon x

I sat my phone down once I turned it off and couldn't help but smile. It was cute yet sad she stayed there to feel comfortable. Then my mind began running frantic if she found something there that upset her. Though come to think of it I had nothing to hide. A sigh passed my lips as I got comfortable and drifted off to sleep.
