I nearly loose my grip, his voice startling me slightly. I cock my head to face behind.

I scoff, shaking my head lightly,
"You don't even know me," I respond, "I don't want to be here anymore." I say looking down.

I eye his hand, deciding not to take it,
"Gerard." I reply, my voice shaking slightly.
"Please don't do it Gerard." He says softly, stepping closer once more, "Please." He pleads.
