Grateful
Gerald version
What I did was wrong. I fucked up again but not with Dylan. I think. Talking of Dylan, what would she say? How would she react? If I was in her shoes, I would be pissed and worried. She might be in one of those categories or worse.
I've been locked up. Locked up not knowing anything. I'm not even allowed to know if I'm going to be here for a long time. Or wait, I don't know. I don't know anything of Dylan, ma and the gang. Fuck! I should listen in the first place. But nope, I was caught up in the fame and partying.
I asked the guards questions and questions. They yelled in the language that I couldn't understand but they got their stick and banged it in the wall so I would step away from the gate. This is hell that I'm living.
Matt version
I haven't heard anything else since we arrived a couple hours ago. Jamilio came to give me company. Mama G called him saying that Gerald's lawyer was on his way.
Dylan has been calling nonstop. I get her. She's worried:
"Matt!?!"
"Dylan, we still have no news. I promise you I will call you as soon a we get anything."
"Okay. I...I'm just scared that me and Suzanne will never see him ever again."
"Dylan that won't happen. He will be free. Just get some sleep. I'll call you if anything."
"Okay Thanks Matt."
She hangs up. Why Gerald you do this to your family!?!?
Dylan version
Still nothing. Not even any news. The only thing we know is Gerald's trail is this Friday morning. I want to go right now to Sweden for two specific reasons. One to beat and yell at him for doing this stupid shit he have done and two to hug and kiss him for still being alive.
I know, I know. I'm irritated Matt a lot. I've been calling him.
I went to Suzanne's room. Her night light and he box of music was turned on. I went to see her in her crib. She was asleep. She sleeps like Gerald. Her face is like his when he sleeps. I touch her hair. She starts to move a little but she doesn't wake up. "Just keep dreaming my princess. Your daddy will be here with us soon." A tear comes out from my eye. "It will happen." Then I kiss her forehead. I walk out of her room leaving the door open. Bliss walks in Suzanne room.
Ever since Suzanne was born, bliss has been very protective of her from any harm. She's a humble, nice, lovable dog to all of us but mostly protective.
I feel a cold breeze. I shiver. It was a feeling that I would never see him again. I want him here with us. I went to our room. I laid down and I began to cry. I covered myself with a blanket to cover from the coldness of the breeze.
It was 2:30am, I woke up from Suzanne cries. I think she might feel that her dad is in problems. I get up from the bed and walked to her room. I enter her room, pick her up from the crib. We both enter the master room. I began to cradle her. I check my phone. Still nothing from Matt or anyone. She was beginning to sleep again. I didn't want to get up from the bed so I laid her down next to me in the bed. It's already Friday. Later in the morning is Gerald's trail.
Matt version
It's 3:32am. Tired, sleepy and hungry. I'm less than two hours is the trail. I didn't tell Dylan the time of the trail so she wouldn't worry. The lawyer finally came. He was with me for a while then he went inside the cell where Gerald was at.
Gerald version
My lawyer finally came. He told me my trail is in two hours. I had a fifty, fifty chance to be innocent or guilty.
Two hours later
It was the time of the trail. I went to a court room. I was with my lawyer. I didn't see Matt or anyone else. I began to shake. Shake because I was scared.
"Relax Mr Gillum." My lawyer told me. I nodded at him.
The judge called out the cases of crimes I've done. My lawyer gave my reason to plead of my innocence. The judge wanted to hear me what i had to say. "Alright Mr. Gillum, you have something to say."
"Um, yes your honor." I took a deep breath " I am very sorry and I want to apologize for everything I've done. It is not my character. I am not a violent person and this is the first fight I've ever been in since I was a kid. This do not reflected my personality. I feel very bad and I apologize from the bottom of my heart." I turned around to the victim that I punched. "I don't want to be sentenced to jail. I don't. I have a family waiting for me at home. I have my wife, I have my three month old baby. I want a fine that I will pay. I'm also willing to return back to Sweden for community service. That is all your honor." I stand up from the stand next to the judge. I walked back to the desk where my lawyer was.
He whispers to my ear. "You did good Mr Gillum."
"I'm only doing this for my family."
Matt version
It's has been a very long time in the court room. Whatever is happening might be good or bad. We just want Gerald to be free.
The Sweden police came out from the room. I seen the lawyer come out. I hesitated for a while. He's long gone. Then I see Gerald coming out. With a smile.
"Mr Gillum is released now but we must leave." His lawyer said.
"What happened G?!? What did the judge said??"
"Well Mr Gillum has to return to Sweden for some community service and has to pay a fee." Gerald couldn't stop smiling. His lawyer left. Jamilio called a car to take us to the airport to Norway. He get in the car still smiling. I remember to text Dylan:
Me: He's free! Meet us at Norway! I'll send Jamilio or someone to pick you up...
She didn't answer back. She must be asleep or taking care of Suzanne all night.
I stare at Gerald. "Oh. But thank god you're free. Call Dylan. She's has been worrying sick, calling nonstop."
"She has??"
"Duh, She's your wife."
"Yeah, I'll call or text her but she might be pissed at me."
"Yeah she is. But also worried." He gets phone. Sure he's texting Dylan.
"She isn't answering me. It said delivered."
"Dude she might be sleeping because one she was worrying sick of you and two she has been taking care of Suzanne, your daughter."
"Yeah. I just feel bad for doing this to my family."
"But did you learn your lesson?"
"Yes I did dad." We both began to laugh. "She will answer back." We left Sweden, boarding a plane to Norway.
This is what Dylan has been waiting for.
Dylan version
I wake up again. Suzanne must be hungry. I was carry her. I placed her in the rocking chair while I was preparing her food. I carried her to my arms and feed her.
I tried to not think as much of the whole situation in Sweden. Talking of Sweden, Matt promised me he was going to text me or call me if anything. I got up from the couch, put Suzanne back to her rocking chair then got my laptop and my phone. I had so much notifications from messages, Instagram, Tweets and the fans. Then Jamilio tag me and Gerald on Instagram.
At first I thought my mind was tripping because I couldn't sleep at all since I was worrying so much of Gerald. Then I received a message from Matt:
Matt: yo! you're man is out of jail, I texted you this morning but you didn't answer me or Gerald back. Meet us at Norway or Berlin.
Then Gerald text me:
G: Dylan? I have no words to explain this but I'm so sorry for doing this shit. I'm free and grateful to be free again. I know by now you're pissed at me and worried but I know you still love me. If you want to see me, meet me at Norway or Berlin and we can talk this out. And bring Suz. I really want to see both of my baby girls.
I began to cry not of sadness but of joy. He was free. I called Mia and Mama G to take care of Suzanne. Yes I know he wants to see Suz but now it's not the time, first I have to have shit straight forward with him and listen what he has to say.
I packed my luggage to meet the gang at Sweden. Mia and Mama G knew about Gerald. It was the best news we've received. They both agreed with me that I should go alone to Norway and not take Suzanne. Just for this time. I texted Matt:
Me: Matt? I got yours and Gerald's message.
Matt: yeah. Okay, what's up?
Me: don't tell anything to Gerald but I'm going to meet you guys at Norway right now BUT I'm not bringing Suzanne with me....
Matt: why??? He's going to be upset.
Me: cause, I want to straight things out with him and not involve her, you understand she's just a baby.
Matt: yeah, yeah I know. Okay I'm sending someone to pick you up but text me when you arrive.
Me: okay. Don't say anything to Gerald.
Matt: okay jeez.
Everything was set. I'm going to Norway to see Gerald. It's hard leaving Suzanne alone in the Bay while her parents are millions miles away sorta arguing of what her father has committed.
Mia and Mama G were at the living room playing peek a boo with Suzanne. I was walking out of my room with my luggage. I walked to them. I sat next to Suzanne then put her in my lap. "Mommy is gonna be right back okay. She's just going to see daddy if he's okay and not doing dumb decision." She giggles "be good for auntie Mia and grandma." I kiss her forehead.
"Well take good care of her." Mama G smiled
"Okay."
"Have a safe flight and call us when you arrive." Said Mia rushing me out the door.
"Okay but why are you in a rush to kick me out of my own house, jeez." I hugged Mia and Mama G and thank them for doing this big favor of taking care of Suzanne while I fly out to Norway. A driver was waiting for me outside of the house. He open the car door. I got inside the car. "So to the airport Mrs. Gillum?"
"Um, yes please." He turned on the car engine and began to drive.
I arrived to the airport and body guards were there waiting for me. Before I got out of the car I put on my sun glasses and The Beautiful And Damned hoodie that Gerald gave me so the paparazzi wouldn't see my face. The driver got out of the car and went to open the door. I got off of the car. Two guards were in my left and right side of me. The paparazzi were yelling questions if I was going to see Gerald and if I was going to accept his behavior and they continue taking photos of me when I walked in the airport. But I ignored them.
As I was boarding in my plane I received a notification from Instagram:
I laughed a little cause it's true. He does fuck up but he owns up to his actions. That's the Gerald I know and love. But now he knows he is going to face me pretty soon. And he knows I still loves even though he does dumb shit. But I can't wait to see his face again. And it's true what he said he's grateful to be a free man.
