I Promise I'll Look After You

Bullshit Movies

{Gerard's POV}

"Gerard! There's someone at the door for you!"

I jumped up off of my bed.

He was early.

Not that I minded.

After checking my appearance quickly in the bathroom mirror, I jogged down the stairs.

My mum was standing next to the open front door.

She smiled when she saw me and I returned it.

"Hey."

My eyes darted towards Frank.

He grinned at me.

"Hi," I smiled at my feet.

I still got a little nervous around him.

"Gerard? Are you going to introduce me to your friend?"

I looked back up to see my mum looking from me to Frank and back to me again.

"Uh yeah. Mum, this is um my friend Frank."

I didn't like calling him just my friend but this wasn't the best time to tell my mum about us.

"Nice to meet you, Frank," My mum smiled at him.

He smiled back and said, "You too, Mrs Way."

Wow, he was polite.

I noticed Mikey then.

He was standing against the lounge door.

How long had he been there...?

"Alright, Frank?" He nodded.

"Yeah. You?" Frank replied, smiling.

"Yeah, fine."

Mikey then looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

What was that look supposed to mean?

"What?" I frowned.

He merely shook his head a little before going back into the lounge.

Well that was weird.

"What time will you be back?" My mum asked, regaining my attention.

"Not sure. Call me if you need me," I shoved on my Converse and hoodie.

"Okay."

Frank smiled at my mum and said, "Bye," before walking down the path.

"Bye, boys. Have a good time," My mum beamed.

"Bye, mum," I followed Frank down the path.

I heard the front door shut behind me.

We walked in silence to the end of the road.

As soon as we turned the corner, Frank grabbed my hand and pulled me into him.

The sudden contact surprised me.

He wrapped his arms around me and said, "Can I say hi properly now?"

I nodded, not able to find words.

He smiled before his lips pressed against mine.

...Fuck.

My eyes were already closed and my heart was beating hard against my chest.

After a moment, he pulled away.

Slowly, my eyes opened to see him smiling at me.

"Hi," He grinned.

"H-Hi," I managed to find my voice.
