Gerard and you were highschool sweethearts. Both having fallen in love at a very early age, you had adored everything about Gerard, his laugh, his personality, even if he was awkward with you, and had a nerdy side, you still loved it. You still loved him. You had supported him when he started his band and they had gotten a bit big and you couldn't have been anymore prouder of your boyfriend....but happy endings and fairytales don't exist in the real world.....

2004 *** * is when you started to noticed more of his behavior, you knew he did weed and like his booze occasionally but then it started getting worse, to the point where one time he collapsed in the parking lot during touring, and that was when you realized he wasn't just doing those two things and that he was doing more hardcore stuff which scared you so bad, but what didn't make things better, was when he started touring with the used and the lead singer bert started hanging around him more then ever. And he was getting trashed constantly and never cared about how you felt, and bert started shoving stuff in his head when he was not in a right frame of mind, which would cause you guys to have constant fights. Which you two rarely ever had but now it was a constant everyday occurrence for you two have arguing and screaming battles, and name calling, which broke your heart everyday

but you never thought it get to this point, the next day after your guys argument you had came to your guy's hotel room to get something, just to see all of his bags gone and a note on the bed as it made your heart shatter. He had basically told you he didn't feel anything anymore and that he couldn't be with you anymore, you looked at the engagement ring on your finger and took it off leaving it cause you knew he'd be back at the room eventually. You decided to not fight for him even though it hurt like hell you just grabbed your stuff and left

you moved out of your shared apartment and lived on your own not hearing from him until one day you bumped into him
