Gerald POV

Richard was sitting beside me as they set up the stage. I slicked my green hair back, God only knows why I got it colored just for Halloween. I kept checking my phone once my mom said Danny went in for her surgery, it was constant tension.

"How's she doing?"

"I dunno."

"You know I care about her G." My gaze locked onto Richard before he shrugged.

"I suggest you pick your words carefully now."

"Fuck off. Danny was a good fuck. Jessica ain't even close man." I clenched my fist, trying so hard to contain the anger boiling inside my chest.

"You better just walk away bro."

" You jealous I fucked your girl? When you weren't even being loyal to her?" Snap. I didn't stop punching him till Blake and Grady yanked me back. Richard's nose busted and quickly swellling like a balloon.

" Shut the fuck up! You don't even know shit about Danny and I!"

"I know a lot fucking more than you think!"

"Richard now isn't the time!" Marty yelled, standing between me and my human punching bag.

"No it is! G wants to act like he's king. Fuck that, he wasn't even there! Danny would call him from her fucking death bed and his ass wouldn't even answer. You're a coward G!" I went for him again yet was tugged back.

"Like I fucking said. You know nothing about Danny and I..." I shrugged off Blake and Grady, storming away to the back stage area and pouring myself a glass of whiskey. The liquid burning my throat on the way down.

"G?"

" What Marty?"

"Tension is just high bro, everyone is stressed." He closed the door as I turned around, refilling the glass and shrugging.

"Fuck him, he's acting like he knows what Danny and I have been through. He wasn't there before the fame. She was there when I didn't have anything to eat or a place to crash. She was there when I told 2 albums a day and almost lost hope." I huffed a laugh. " No one knows that Danny and I weren't always in a relationship. She was like Homebase. My girl that happened to just be a friend." I sipped at my drink, sitting down. "The first time I slept with D... I fucking was scared shitless. I was afraid I would lose her, but when she woke up and looked at me I knew we would work. She just looked at me like... Like there was nothing to worry about. She didn't regret it. Yeah I fucked it all up. I mean shit, the time she caught me was far from the first time I fucked Devon." I sat the glass down and held my head. "I put her through hell and she is still going through it."

"Well stay away from Richard alright? He's smoking again and fucking doing pills. He's trying to piss you off on purpose. Just worry about Danny."

"Ight..." Marty walked out, leaving me to my thoughts all the way up to the show. Still not a word about Danny. In fact the whole show I kept peaking at my phone. " I wanna thank you all for coming out tonight! You all know my lovely girlfriend Daniella right?" Screams and hollars filled my ears, making me chuckle into the mic. "Well like I said she's a breast cancer survivor and well she survived that dramatic kidnapping. Well she's in the bay area right now..." I pulled out my phone, switching over to the camera and started recording the crowd. "They found what could possibly be cancer again... And I think she could use a little love. So on the count of 3 can we all say We love you Deeeee... 3...2...1" the whole crowd repeated my saying, drawing out the D like I always did around her. A chuckle managed to pass my lips before I sent the video off to my mom. "Alright! I think she'll love it. Now...." The music started playing for Me Myself and I, ending the night as usual. I rushed off stage, past Richard, secluding myself to the bus and calling my mom.

"Hello?"

"Hey is she awake yet?"

"Yeah baby, you wanna talk to her?"

"Is that a question?" She laughed before I heard her fumble with the phone.

"Hello babe..."

"Hey... How you feeling?"

"Tired... Good news is they told me it was a benign tumor... No cancer Gerald. More importantly how are you?" I heard my mom chuckle, the phone move around.

"Sorry Gerald, her medicine kicked back in she's out like a light... She won't remember you calling at all. Listen I'll make sure she calls you tomorrow alright?"

"Alright ma, love you."

" Love you too sweetie... Buh bye." I hung up and showered quickly. Everyone else was out partying getting drunk and fucked up. Like a kid I fell asleep early, yet awoke to my phone buzzing violent.

"Danny? It's like 3 am in the bay... What you doing up?"

" Gerald... I love you." It was obvious she was crying, those hiccuping noises filled my ears. " I had... I had a dream I died... And just know I fucking love you." I cursed under my breath turning over in my bunk.

"Baby girl I love you too... Get some sleep okay. I'll see you soon. Moms tells me your surgery went great okay. Relax. I love you..."

"From the bay to the universe?" I chuckled as a small laugh escaped her.

" Yeah, from the bay to the universe D." She hung up, now at 6am I was wide awake, also accompanied by my unattended and alert manhood. Being without D for a day was killer. Especially with all the temptation. Slowly I wandered to the kitchen area and prepared a bowl of cereal before clicking on the tv. What was life gonna be like settling down with Daniella? One girl forever. Could I, gerald gillum really commit? She even said it herself, it would be a challenge for me. Hopefully she was wrong.
