Welcome to the... Asylum?

Chapter 25

Frank's POV

"Frankie." I rolled over and looked up at Gerard; I was getting used to sleeping next to him every

night.

"Yeah?"

"Today should just be me and you." I raised my eyebrows at him. "We've been worrying too much

about Jamie. We need to just step back, give her some space, and take some time for ourselves." I looked him in the eye, seeing the tiredness taking over the hazel color. "What do you say?"

"That sounds like a great idea." Gerard smiled at me and pulled me into his chest.

"I like your hair black." Gerard commented out of the blue as he started running his fingers through

my hair.

I chuckled a little and rubbed my face against his sweat shirt. "Thanks. I like your hair better this

length by the way."

"Me too." Gerard pressed his face into my hair and I smiled. "This is nice."

"Yes." I tightened my arms around him and he let out a happy sigh. "Yes it is." I closed my eyes,

ready to go back to sleep when there was a knocking on the door.

"Hey, it's time for breakfast." Dan informed us through the closed door and we could hear him walk

away as he talked to someone.

"There he goes talking to 'Phil' again." Gerard commented and I chuckled. "Too bad there's no way to

know if he's actually crazy or not."

I chuckled again. "Yeah I guess."

"We should go to breakfast." Gerard gave my head a long kiss before he sat up on the edge of the bed

and stretched.

"So are we going to eat with them today or are we sitting by ourselves?" I asked as I sat up next to

him and stretched as well.

"Why would we sit by ourselves?" He looked at me confused as he ruffled his bed head.

"To take a break? Step back? Remember?"

Realization crossed his face. "Oh." I smiled and laughed a little.

"Come on." I grabbed Gerard's hand and lead him out into the hall.

"You couldn't let me get dressed first?" Gerard grumbled and rested his head on top of mine as we

walked down the hall.

"This is an insane asylum, no one cares."

"I care." I laughed at him and started to make up my breakfast. "What cha eatin' this morning,

Frankie?"

"Oatmeal with… berries."  I smiled up at him and I poured some berries into my oatmeal.

"And cottage cheese." Gerard stated as he sat a small bowl of cottage cheese onto my tray.

I smiled and chuckled at him. "Yes, good choice." Gerard got scrambled eggs, toast, and cottage

cheese. "So should we sit by ourselves?"

Gerard thought about it, "I think we should still sit with them." I nodded and we headed towards our

usual booth. Dan looked up from his pancakes and smiled at us. "Hey Dan." Gerard scooted to the far end of the booth and I sat in the middle, leaving Mikey's usual spot opened for him.
