The hallway light spills through the crack in your door, a sickly yellow stripe across the floor. Downstairs, voices rise and fall like a storm that never breaks. You're curled into a tight ball on your bed, pillow muffling the sobs you can't hold back. A soft knock. The door eases open, and Gerard's silhouette fills the frame. He crosses to you in three silent steps, sliding onto the mattress and folding you into his arms. His chin rests on your head as he hums a low, familiar tune. "I'll never let them hurt you, I promise..." you, you believe him, don't you?
