I Promise I'll Look After You

Prom Plans

{Gerard's POV}

"So?"

"So...?" I repeated.

She rolled her eyes.

"So, has he asked you yet?"

I was so confused.

"What?"

"Oh my god, Gerard!" She suddenly burst, "Don't tell me he hasn't asked you yet!"

I still had no idea what was going on.

"Asked me what? Who? When Where? What?"

Taylor looked genuinely shocked and exchanged a look with Carrie.

"Frank!" Taylor clarified, "Has Frank asked you to the prom yet?"

Oh.

It made sense now.

"No," I frowned, "Is he going to?"

I had assumed we were all going as a group or something.

That had always been the plan.

But then again, that was before Frank had shown up.

I never thought I'd actually have a possible date for prom.

Although, surely there was no 'possible' about it.

Frank was my boyfriend so of course we were going together.

Did he need to ask me first?

And anyway, why did he have to ask me?

"Wait," I spoke up before Taylor could start up again, "Why are you assuming that he is going to be the one to ask?"

"I wasn't assuming anything," Taylor was quiet for once.

"Yeah you were," I continued, "The guy asks the girl. So are you saying I'm the girl of the relationship?"

"Of course not, Gee."

This had annoyed me now.

"There's no such thing as the 'girl' or the 'guy' of the relationship. There is no girl in mine and Frank's relationship. If you hadn't noticed, we're gay. I'd be pretty surprised if one of us was a girl."

"I would be too," Frank suddenly appeared next to me, "Why are you ranting?"

I sighed and looked down.

"It's nothing."

I didn't look up to see his reaction.

I already knew he didn't believe me.

Although, he didn't say anything else.

"Look," Taylor caught my attention, "I'm sorry, Gee. I didn't mean to upset you..."

This was the quietest Taylor had been in a long time.

I looked up and she actually looked both sorry and almost ashamed for once.

"It's fine," I muttered.

Frank sensed this was a sensitive topic so changed the subject.

"So... Uh... Exams start in two weeks."

Exam talk seemed to be the only talk anymore.

It kinda sucked, I have to say.

It was all anyone could talk about and I was growing tired of it.

Taylor noticed my disinterest and gestured for me to have a talk with her.

Out of interest, I followed her a little way off from the others even though she had offended me only moments before.
