Addiction ( a frerard fanfiction )

Chapter 26

A few minutes later, Gerard and Frank went back into the leaving room, Frank hoped no one would have noticed they were gone but apparently, it wasn't the case.

As they steeped into the room, everyone was looking at them.
Mikey was sat besides Pete and when he met his brothers eyes, he raised an eyebrow

"Where were you ? 15 minutes is a bit long to go get a glass of water, don't you think ?"

Gerard coughed and sat on the other extremity of the couch

"Uh, yeah, I... was hungry, so I made me a sandwich " he replied, looking away

Frank gave him a weird look, a little bit offended that Gerard had lied

 Mikey didn't look convinced, he looked at Frank

"And where were you ?" He asked

" I didn't feel well, I needed some calm."

And technically , he wasn't lying, he just choose not to mention a few details

But Frank still didn't know why Gerard didn't want to tell the truth to Mikey. Was he ashamed ? Did he regret ? Frank had enough of all those mysteries. He felt like he didn't know anything about Gerard.

A new music started to play in the room and Gerard suddenly looked up to meet Mikey's eyes

"Change." He ordered dryly

"Oh I'm sorry Gee, I didn't know this song was on the tape..."

Frank looked at Mikey, then at Gerard

"What's going on ? What's wrong with the song ?"

"Nothing." Gerard snapped

Pete sighed and replied "It was Simon's fav-"

"Shut the fuck up Pete or I promise I'll cut your fucking tongue and I'll force you to eat it!" Gerard yelled

The room went silent, and Mikey turned the music off

Gerard shook his head

" Fuck! Fuck you all! "

He stood up and left the living room

Frank heard his steps in the stairs, he seemed furious. When he looked at Pete, he frowned

"What the hell just happened ?"

Frank was shocked. He never saw Gerard this furious before, not that he'd known him for a long time, but still, he was perfectly fine a few seconds ago

Pete was about to answer when Mikey put his hand on his shoulder and shook his head

"I think you talked enough for tonight."

Pete closed his mouth and rolled his eyes.

Frank knew he wouldn't get any more answers for tonight, but he couldn't help it, the words escaped his mouth before he realised it

"Who is Simon ?"

Mikey bit his lip and  looked at Pete. 

The older boy stood up and cleared his throat

"Well, its late, the party's over, thanks everyone for coming"

Everyone, except Mikey, grumbled and stood up before grabbing all their stuff, they hugged Pete and shook Mikey's hand

Frank frowned, he couldn't believe it. He realized we would not have any answers. Not tonight, and probably not any time soon.

He laughed nervously and shook his head "Okay, well, I'm gonna go too. I think I kinda ruined the mood anyway."
