I'll Be Your Gerard If You'll Be My Frank

Ring Ring

*Contains mentions of self inflicted pain*

{Gerard's POV}

The basement door slammed shut behind him.

What... What just happened?

Frank kissed me... And then ran out?

And he took his bag with him.

Where was he going?

Did he think it was a mistake?

I couldn't just sit here, wondering.

I grabbed my shoes, threw them on and ran up to the hallway.

Mikey and Ray were there.

I have to say, they looked pretty confused.

I stopped and frowned, "What's going on?"

Mikey looked towards the open front door and then back to me.

"Frank just bolted," He said, "It was really weird."

"Did he say anything?" I bit my lip.

Mikey and Ray exchanged a look before Mikey replied with, "He said he'd 'fucked everything up' and that he had to go."

Oh Frank...

He must have thought that the kiss was a mistake.

Wait- was it?

To him it was.

But... But it wasn't to me.

"He hasn't fucked anything up," I sighed.

"Then why does he think he has?" Ray raised an eyebrow.

"Uh..."

I couldn't tell him.

Not yet. Not now.

"I'll um... I'll tell you later. Do you know where he went?"

Ray shrugged and Mikey said, "Not really. I assume he went home."

Oh, God.

Not back to that hellhole.

I couldn't waste anymore time.

I was about to speed after him but Mikey grabbed my arm, stopping me.

"Call him first," He said, "In case he isn't there."

I nodded before pulling out my phone and scrolling down the contacts to Frank's name.

It rung.

Once.

Twice.

It kept going.

Kept ringing.

Until, "Hey, this is Frank. I'm either sleeping or on Pansy. So fuck off. Kidding. Leave a message."

Beep.

I ended the call.

I wasn't comfortable leaving a message.

"Try again," Mikey encouraged.

I bit my lip and pressed the redial button.

Ring ring.

Ring ring.

Ring ring.

Ring ring.

"Hey, this is Frank. I'm either sleeping or on Pansy. So fuck off. Kidding. Leave a message."

This time, I decided to leave one.

Beep.

"Hey... Frank. It's Gerard. I just want to know where you've gone. I-I'm worried about you. Please call me back."
