I Promise I'll Look After You

First Rehearsal

{Gerard's POV}

"Ready, Gerard?"

"No, not really."

Frank smirked at me, "Come on! We've got to show Mikey what we've got so far."

"Can't you just show him what you've got and work from that? I'm not feeling too well."

Mikey rolled his eyes at me.

"I'm serious," I bit my lip, "I feel like I'm gonna throw up."

"Sit down. Do you have a drink?" Frank asked, concern edging his voice.

I shook my head as I sat back down on a chair.

Frank quickly put his guitar on one of the tables and started rooting around in his bag.

A moment later, he was holding a bottle of water.

"Here," He handed it to me.

"Thanks," I smiled and took a sip.

Frank smiled back before putting his guitar back on and facing Mikey.

"Okay, so," Frank strummed a little, "The intro's fairly simple..."

I watched as he played the song and explained different parts to Mikey.

Mikey listened intently and nodded every now and then.

I have to say, the song really was coming along nicely.

Frank was an amazing musician and composer.

Watching him really fascinated me.

When Frank had finished a rough run-through of the song, he looked at Mikey expectantly.

I looked at him too.

He was deep in thought, I could tell.

"Well," He said after a moment, "That really is a fucking amazing song."

Frank beamed in pride, "Right?! I'm so excited about this!"

Mikey nodded, "You should be. It's awesome. Although, it would've been better with a voice."

They both looked at me.

I blushed a little.

"Maybe next time," I mumbled.

Frank's expression dropped a little and Mikey tutted.

He turned back to Frank.

"Okay, so I can really hear the bass line."

"Yeah?" Frank grinned.

"Totally. Can you record yourself playing it and make me a copy? I'd like to work on it."

"Yeah, sure thing!" Frank was practically bouncing off the ceiling, "I'll do that this weekend and have it ready for you on Monday."

"Cool," Mikey smiled, "I can tell this is gonna be an epic song."

"Definitely," Frank agreed.

Mikey looked at me.

"You do know that I'm gonna have to hear you eventually, okay, Gee?"

I swallowed slowly, "Okay..."

"His voice is worth the wait," Frank suddenly chimed in, "He's rad."

I blushed and had to look down.

Frank seriously needed to stop complimenting my singing.

But to be perfectly honest, I liked it when he did.
