The next morning I woke up to my phone ringing loudly. I didn't even bother to look at caller ID when I answered. "Hello," I answered groggily. "Hey Amy, I was wondering if you could meet me for coffee around 10. I could pick you up if you want?" The stranger asked over the phone. "I'd love to, but i just woke up and I don't know who's talking to me right now!" I yawned loudly as I was falling back to sleep. "It's Frank, I don't know, you seem pretty cool and I wanted to get to know you better." Frank said, and I shot up from bed and looked at the clock. It was 9 a.m. and I jumped out of bed and into the bathroom. "Then yeah, I'd love to get coffee with you. You can let yourself in to my house when you get here." I said, "okay can't wait to see you," Frank chuckled and I hung up. I threw my phone at my bed and began to go through my closet. I pulled out a lose tang top and some skinny jeans. Then I grabbed my undergarments and walked into the shower.

FRANKS P.O.V.

I pulled into Amy's driveway and got out of the van. The guys we're still sleeping at the hotel, and I thought I should take Amy to coffee. She's so beautiful and I can't help myself but want I want to get to know her more. Although Gerard did ask me to not act all perverted, since we're going to see a lot more of her around now that they're in contact again. I walked up to the door, and let myself in. I slowly walked in, trying to look for her. I walked into a room and she was putting her clothes on, her back was turned to me. It suddenly became hot and I quietly backed away. I walked to the living room and sat on the large couch. God her body, it's so perfect. I tried to calm down and fixed my hair.

She walked out, fully clothed. I laughed inside, and I got up to greet her. "Hey Frankie," she smiled and wrapped her arms around me. I did the same and said "you ready sweet cakes!" She pulled away and made an over dramatic shocked face. She then burst out laughing and so did I. "Watch it," she pointed at me and we walked out of the house. We got into the van, she then turned to look at me. "So when did you meet Gerard and Mikey?" She asked. I didn't really want to talk about them right now since I was kind of wanting to talk about just her. I rubbed my neck with my free hand and replied, "well I met them about 2 years ago, they had already started the band and then I came on. We've been super close ever since." She smiled and turned on the radio.

Britney Spears started to play and she immediately turned it off. "God, she's so awful. When did that start being called music." I laughed and shook my head. "Well what kind of music, is actual music to you?" I asked. She looked at me and said, " I listen to a lot of alternative music, but sometimes I like to listen to music that's a bit more mainstream, as long as it has true substance. If you know what I mean." "Yeah, I agree. Like mainstream music is shit, but sometimes there's those rare songs that actually do have substance, like you said." We drove for another 10 minutes until we made it to this cool coffee shop that I've been wanting to go to since we got here in SF. We got out of the car and into the café. We sat at a secluded table in the corner of the room, where we had a bit more privacy.

"Why did you really ask me here?" She asked as we sat down. I looked at her and put my hand over hers. "You're different from other girls I've met, and I truly did want to get to know you more." I said to her and she blushed. She was always blushing around me, it was adorable. "God, you're so cute." I said and she turned even more red. I laughed a bit, "please stop, oh my god!" She laughed also and we just laughed together for a bit. We talked for about an hour or two until my phone rang.

"Hey," I answered. "It's Mikey, where are you dude?" "I'm at a coffee shop with Amy right now." I said to Mikey. "Ask her if she wants to hang out with us, Gerard hasn't stop bugging about her." He laughed as I heard Gerard yelling to stop embarrassing him. Does he like her? I asked myself but I just ignored that thought. "Amy, the guys are wondering if you want to hang out with us today, Gerard apparently hasn't stopped bugging them about it." I asked and she smiled from ear to ear. "Yes, I'd love to!" She squirmed around her chair in excitement and I smiled like a fool. "She said yes, I'll meet you guys at the hotel room with her." I hung up and payed for the coffees after she tried to insist on paying, but I wouldn't let her. We drove towards the hotel soon after and just listened to the radio.

When we got there, I knocked on the door since I forgot the key to get in. The door was immediately swung open and Amy was attacked with hugs from the guys, except for Gerard. He just waited patiently until everyone let go. She walked up to him and they wrapped their arms around each other. It was just so gentle, I felt jealous, although I shouldn't be. He's my best friend and Amy is his best friend. With everything Mikey and Gerard have been through with their grandmothers death, I shouldn't take this away from him. I just shied away a bit, and let them be. But I still like her, and I'm gonna make sure she knows that when we get to know each other better.

AMY'S P.O.V.

When Frankie knocked on the door, it slammed open and the guys rushed to me. They smothered me in hugs, while Gerard just waited for his turn. When they had let go, I slowly walked to Gerard with the biggest smile on my face and hugged him tightly as he did with me. He let go and we walked out of the hotel soon after. We all piled Into the van again, but this time Ray was driving and Mikey was in the passenger seat. I sat in between Gerard and Frank, which seemed a bit awkward because I couldn't help but notice some tension between them. But it must be nothing really. They drove to Starbucks and ordered breakfast on the go. Me and Frank passed though since we had some breakfast earlier.

I talked to Gerard a lot about his band and their music. I was so fascinated with everything the guys were doing with their careers. I thought it was amazing, and I was just so full of joy for them. After a while we talked about me and what I had been doing since I moved. I just haven't mentioned my parents death to him, because when I'm with the guys I can pretend that they are still here because they don't know the truth. "So are you and Frank boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Ray sang, terribly may I add. "No, he just invited me to coffee." I laughed and I turned to look at Frankie. He half smiled and looked out the window. I turned my attention back to Gerard, but he didn't seem too comfortable. "Tonight we should go to a club and party. How does that sound to you guys!?" Mikey asked from the front seat. "I think it's a great idea, what about you two freaks?" I asked motioning towards G and Frankie. "Sounds good to me," G answered. "Me too," Frankie joined in.

We had spent the rest of the day just driving around SF, and walking on the pier. I bought a few pieces of cool and weird artwork, and a biography about Kurt Cobain. Gerard also bought a few drawings which were plain out awesome. I would've bought them if he hadn't found them first. Frank bought a pound of saltwater taffy and Ray bought random bracelets he found from people selling on the street. "Hey, I bought this for you. I thought it was kinda weird and cool." Gerard said as he began to put a bracelet on my wrist. "I bought it when you went into that old bookstore, I think it suits you." I looked at it and hugged him. "I love it, it's beautiful. You shouldn't have," I said. "Well I can always take it back," he joked and i playfully punched his shoulder. "No, I love it!" We laughed a bit and continued walking more with the guys right behind us.

I really love how this story is turning out, and I hope you guys are enjoying it also.
