Chapter 12

THREE DAYS LATER

I knocked on Gerard's door and waited. He hadn't been showing up to eat the past few days, we were all

worried about him. Plus I drew the short straw to come check on him. He opened his door and just looked at me. "Hey." He still didn't say anything. "Can I come in?" Gerard looked down before he turned around and walked back into his room. I followed and closed the door behind me.

Gerard curled up under his covers again and stared at the wall across his room. I sat on his bed and

started petting his hair. "You okay?"

"No." I continued to pet his hair. "Will you sing to me Frankie?"

"I… I can't sing Gerard." He frowned. "Here…." I pulled his covers up and laid down with him. He

snuggled up to my chest and sniffled.

"I miss her, but I don't feel like I'm supposed to cry."

"I get it."

"Do you think I should take depression pills Frankie?"

"Um… I don't know. You're… You're bipolar so I don't know how well…" I stopped talking when

Gerard nodded into my chest. "Will you come out and eat?" He hesitated before nodding. I stood up from the bed first and hesitantly held my hand out to him. He stood up and grabbed my hand. We looked at each for a few seconds before I decided I should drag him out of the room before he changes his mind.

"Hey Frankie. Getting busy are we?" I blushed and glared at Mikey as I sat in the booth. Gerard sat

down and looked at me before grabbing my hand under the table. We exchanged a glance before he started eating. I smiled a little and started eating my sandwich with my left hand.

--------------------------------------------

"So what do you want to do?" I asked Gerard as we walked back to his room. We were holding hands

again.

"I don't know." I frowned as Gerard opened his door and walked in. I followed him and let his hand go

so he could curl up in his bed again. I closed his door and curled up under his covers with him. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me up to his chest. "Thanks for staying with me Frankie." I smiled and looked up at him. "You're so nice to me."

"Yeah, that's just how I am."

"Don't get all conceited now." He hugged me closer to him and I smiled into his chest again.

"So… You just wanna lay here?"

"Are you okay with that?"

"Yeah." I smiled again.

"So Jamie and Mikey are together huh?"

"Yupp."

"It's about time." I closed my eyes an inhaled his cologne. "Frankie, are you really bi?"

I opened my eyes and swallowed before answering him. "Yeah… I am…"

"Would you date me?"

I bit the inside of my lip before I answered his question with a question. "Aren't you straight though?"

"I don't know… I think I…. feel attracted to someone who's… a guy…"

"….Oh?"

"Yeah…" I looked up at Gerard and I couldn't figure out the look he was giving me. Gerard leant down
