Haunted Ave

Waking Up In Strange Places

Gerald's POV:

I groan as I wake up on the basement floor, I jump up immediately remembering I heard Jill scream upstairs last night, I look around the basement seeing some blood on the ground I touch my head and feel the warm liquid there, I sigh knowing I was bleeding, I didn't care I pushed the thoughts aside and raced upstairs, I called out,

"Jill?!"

I got no response, I headed for the stairs that lead up to our rooms, I don't hear anything, I call out to her again, 

"Jill?!"

Jill's POV:

I heard my name being called, so my eyes opened and I looked around, I was still hanging from the attic ceiling and I was in a lot of pain, I began to panic as I heard my name again,

"Jill where the f**k are you?!"

I cleared my throat and called out,

"I'm in the attic!"

I heard heavy footsteps run across the 2nd floor and up the attic steps,

"What the f**k!?" Gerald tells as he runs towards me.

He reaches into his pocket and grabs a pocket knife, 

"Jill are you okay?" 

"I don't know," is all I could think of to say I'm feeling slightly crazy.

Did a ghost beat the f**k out of me last night? Was I really tied up to the attic ceiling? I felt insane and everything was beginning to hurt. Gerald steps onto a chair in the attic, wraps his arms around me and cuts the rope, I fall into him causing him to lose balance on the chair and both of us hit the attic floor with a thud! I land on top of Gerald, who grunts softly, I look down at him for the first time seeing him up close, his right side of his forehead had a cut on it, that was still bleeding a bit, I push myself up and off of him and offer my hand to help him up, 

"Thank you," He says while taking it and pulling himself up.

"You're welcome," I say, standing only inches from him, Jill don't! You just met you barely know him! 

"Let's go downstairs and get your head cleaned up, we should probably go get looked at make sure there's no internal damage," I say to Gerald as I turn to walk towards the attic stairs, he grabs my arm and spins me towards him.

"Are you okay? You look very pale," Gerald says to me.

"I'm fine," I say back to him, I felt fine besides the pain I was in.

He doesn't seemed too convinced but he doesn't push further, he grabs my hand and leads me downstairs, I let go of his hand once we are in the hallway, he shuts the attic door and turns to face me as I open my bedroom door and go inside it to find my first aid kit, I grab it and walk back into the hallway, 

"Let's go into the bathroom and get you cleaned up," I say smiling at him.

Gerald's POV:

Her smile was absolutely beautiful, and whatever happened to her last night took a huge toll on her, she doesn't look so good but keeps saying she's fine, I nod at her and say,

"Okay!"

We head towards the bathroom on the second floor and walk inside, she closes the toilet lid and says,

"Sit there please."

I don't protest or anything I just sit down and smile up at her, which she returns my smile with her own beautiful one, she made my heart feel things Halsey didn't, I feel like she could be the one I could settle down with, whoa Gerald hold up! She began to clean my head up, I caught a glimpse of her arm, it was bruised badly, without thinking I grabbed her arm, causing her to gasp and look down at me,

"What the fuck..." is all I could say, the bruise was a deep purple, I gently ran my fingers over it, she flinched in pain and yanked her arm away from me, 

"I'm sorry, I wanted to see if any bones were broken, I'm so sorry," I say looking up at Jill, there were tears in her eyes, that disappeared within seconds.

"It's fine, don't worry about it," her voice cracks a bit as she goes back to cleaning up my head.

We stay in silence as she stitches my head up, I guess I picked the right girl to live with, but I needed to figure out what the hell was up with this house, what happened last night nearly killed Jill, her wounds are worse than mine, as she finishes I grab her and seat her on the toilet,

"Now I'm going to clean you up, and I'm going to start you a bath, do you work today?"

She nods, "Night shift so I go in for 4:30pm I won't be home until 5am tomorrow morning."

"Okay that's fine, you are going to relax until then okay?" I say gently grabbing her chin and making her look at me again since she looked away.

She just nods and doesn't say anything else, I clean her up and check her for any deep cuts, when I lift her shirt I find one on her side, I tell her to stand up and she does, I stitch it up and cover it with a bandage, then I start her a bath, she stands by the sink staring at herself in the mirror, then her phone goes off, I hear one of my songs on her phone, Pray For Me, she runs out of the bathroom and into her bedroom to answer her phone, I don't think she realizes I'm G-Eazy, she's a fan of mine, I'm impressed. I hear her talking for a few before she gets off her phone and walks back into the bathroom, the tub is nearly done filling, 

"I'll be back to check on you in a bit Okay?"

She nods at me and I leave the bathroom leaving the door cracked so if she calls out to me I can hear her from my room, I walk into my room and lay on my bed pulling out my phone and looking through social media to see what I'm missing.

Jill's POV:

Gerald leaves the bathroom and I get undressed and step into the tub the hot warm felt good against all the bruises, I looked down at myself and went wide eyed, I was covered in bruises it was bad, I looked like I was beaten like a rag doll, I shut the water off and lean over hitting the music playlist I pulled up, instantly That's A Lot By G-Eazy starts playing, 

I began rapping along, I don't hear Gerald enter the bathroom until the songs over, I scream jumping,

"s**t!"

He starts laughing, "Damn you're good."

"Thanks, he's my favorite!" I say not caring that I'm n***d in the tub, he wasn't looking at my body surprisingly he was keep eye contact with me.

"Well you are living with him," he says, and it clicks with me.

"Holy f**k! You're G-Eazy!" I say smiling.

"Yes the one and only, I'm taking a break from music hence why I'm here with you, and I can promise you you'll be the first to know if I have a new song in mind, I'd love your feedback." He says smiling back at me.

"I'd love to!" I say smiling more, he sits on the toilet and looks into my eyes for a moment.

"Awesome," is all he says as the next song starts which is F.F.F by Bebe Rexha and him.

I instantly start singing along to the words, he smiles at me and sings with me when his parts come up, our voices blend perfectly like a dream come true, I always wanted to meet him, but I was always busy with college and work at the hospital since I was in school and working at the same time, it's been a crazy 4 years, and I don't know how fate put him in my life but I was grateful even though it's only been a day, Gerald was becoming my best friend as we talked together as the music played his songs, he told me things he never even told Halsey, I was blessed. In the middle of this all I had gotten out of the tub with him handing me the towel and I headed for my room, I got dressed in jeans and my lady killer jersey which when I stepped into the hallway Gerald was leaving his room and his eyes landed on me and his face showed a huge smile,

"My merch!" 

"Yep! Since I could never get to a concert I bought one and bought all your cds and songs on ITunes," I say smiling.

"Let's go get some lunch then I can drop you off at work early if you'd like," He says smiling more at me.

"Sounds good!" I say as I go into my room and grab my work bag, I shove my charger and iPod into it.

I walk back into the hallway, Gerald grabs my hand and we walk down the stairs and out of the house, he locks up as I head towards his beautiful mustang, I was in love with his car, I had a picture of him and his car as my lock screen, oops! I'm Fangirling hard! I'm lucky and no one back home will believe me when I say G-Eazy is my roommate, but I can't even tell them since he isn't making music at the moment, and I don't want to do anything to piss him off. 

We get into his car and he drives us into LA, we get to a nice looking restaurant, I felt under dressed for this place, until I realize the attire everyone was wearing, jeans and T-shirt's, so I let out a breathe I didn't think I was holding in, causing Gerald to look at me with concern, 

"You okay?"

I nod and smile, "Yeah I'm good G."

He smiles back, his eyes showing something I couldn't quite detect, we head inside and he gets immediately attacked by fans, he pulls me close to him to avoid losing me, he signs a few things then we head to our table, a few people ask for pictures while we are there before we eat, he lets them, then tells everyone to leave him and I be so we can finish up. Once we're done and the bill is payed, we leave and I tell him the address to my work, he drives me there and before I can get out of the car, he gently grabs my arm and leans over towards me, placing a gently kiss on my cheek, 

"I'll be here at 5am to get you Okay?" He says smiling.

I nod, "Okay Ger I'll see you tomorrow morning."

"Bye Jill! If you want I'll bring you dinner tonight around 6:30?" He asks, looking up at me.

"Yeah that would be great I'll tell them I want a break for then, see you later Ger," I say shutting the door.

He rolls the window down and calls out, "Bye Jay! I'll see you later!"

I smile at the nickname no one has ever called me Jay only Jill or Jillian. I head into the hospital to begin my shift way earlier then expected, I look at my cell it's only 2:30pm.
