franks pov.

it's been about a week since i told cheer coach. gerard hasn't spoken to me. i think he's mad at me.

rightfully so. 

it's all been a blur. without him i can't tell if it's Wednesday or Saturday.

i head back to the locker room. i take my gear off. i put it away.

routine.

'bert has been missing a while.' i think to myself.

i look up and everyone is gone.

i sigh and run my fingers through my hair.

i walk out.

i look up.

"gerard?" i call out to the figure standing before me.

he smiles softly and waves. 

and he gives me the little "hi."

i smile back.

he walks up to me, fidgeting nervously. "i'm sorry i ghosted your for a week. it's not because of you, really!" he starts to explain and i audibly sigh from relief

"it's because the whole lindsey thing had to involve me, i was so exhausted i just couldn't..." he motions with his hands.

"i know." i finally say. i hug him tight, and i can feel him melt into me.

"it's not your fault." i whisper.

and finally, his guard comes down and he starts crying.
