Not So Bulletproof Hearts

Franks POV

I decided to walk away from Gerard before I was brutally murdered by the guilt rising inside me. He’s my best friend. I don’t even know how all this came about. Maybe it was just the alcohol, last time we hooked up was at his previous party. The odds are stacked, I love Kat, I don’t love Gerard. Anything that happened between me and him is history, it was just out of pure lust. Nothing more. I think.

I tossed my cigarette butt in an ash tray in the corridor and proceeded to find Kat. As I stepped into the living room a familiar face caught my eye, Kat’s friend Brianna. I was surprised to see Kat wasn’t with her actually. Those two seemed to be joined at the hip in school. I decided to approach her and ask of Kat’s whereabouts. “Hey, Brianna right? Umm, have you seen Kat?” I said nervously chewing on my lip ring as I slipped my hands into my pockets. It was clear she’d had quite a lot to drink and it took her a moment regain her balance as she turned around to answer me. “Kat? Umm, Frank. She went home. She said she wasn’t feeling too good and left. It’s a coincidence thought because she was looking for you earlier as well. Is everything okay?”

I looked at her puzzled. ”she… she went home? How? It’s too far to walk.” Brianna walked me over to the front door as best she could and pointed to Gerard’s drive way. “She drove off in a black sports car about 10 minutes ago, I think. It’s not her car, I know that, so I’m guessing it was yours.” In blind panic I grabbed Mikey’s red racer jacket from the banister and ran out the door. I had to find her. I had to make it up to her. With that I raced down the street in direction of Kat’s house with Brianna calling behind me. “Go get her, Frank! Don’t let her go!”

Kats POV

I wiped the tears and smudged eyeliner from my face on Frank’s leather jacket as I turned onto my street. I was in so much pain. Partly because I knew both Frank and Gerard had betrayed me but partly because of the confusion filling my head. It might be nothing, or it might be everything. I couldn’t stick around at the party, I needed to get out. I needed to be alone, but then again I just wanted Frank to hold me, like he did in the car. I wanted him to be okay, I wanted us to be okay.

I pulled the car into my drive way and collapsed crying on the steering. I felt that no matter how loud I screamed no one would hear me. All my cries seemed to fall on deaf ears. I wonder if Frank even knows I’m upset. After sitting in Frank’s car inhaling his comforting scent I finally motivated myself to get out of the car. Slowly, mournfully I walked towards the front door exchanging Frank’s car key for the house key in my pocket. I unlocked the door and stepped in, silently closing it behind me.

I slid to the floor with my back against the door. The floor was freezing cold but I was too hurt to care. I sat there motionless for what seemed like hours before my eyes slowly began to drift close, releasing a few tears as they did so.
My head flopped against the door as I fell asleep. I thought I could hear the distant sound of footsteps coming towards the door. I was too exhausted to move so I just sunk into a deep sleep as I listened to what seemed like Frank’s voice. “Angel, are you okay? Let me in? Please…” the voice trailed off into my mind as I lost consciousness, falling into a deep broken sleep.

Franks POV.

I ran through the night, the cold air whipping my face as I went. I was exhausted and quite dizzy but I wasn’t going to let that stop me. I stopped to catch my breath as I clapped eyes on Kat’s house in the dark empty night. Walking up to the front door I dropped to my knees. “Angel, are you okay?” I breathed as I sunk lifelessly down on the porch. “Let me in? Please…” I leaned against the door waiting for a reply but pure silence fell around me. My eyes fell closed as I rested my head on the door. The cold night air wrapped itself around me, making me shiver. My breath became shallow as I fell asleep against the door. I was too exhausted to move.

Kats POV

I awoke as the early morning sun burned through my eye lids to greet me. Bringing my arm up to shield my eyes, dry and crusty with tears I remembered the events of last night. I heard him… as I was falling asleep, he was at the door. I quickly stood up and my neck cracked as pulled my head away from the rather uncomfortable door. Fumbling around in my pocket for the house keys I unlocked the door and carefully pushed it open. There he was. Pale and lifeless curled up on the porch, he almost looked dead. I kneeled down beside him and gently stroked his face; he was cold to the touch. “Frank, wake up.” I shook him gently and waited from his eyes to open.

He groaned and opened one eye. “Kat” I saw his lips mime as he looked at me. Frank sat up and looked down at my hands resting on my knees; he picked them up and traced his lips over each one individually. Tears pricked the corners of his eyes as he spoke. “I love you, Kat. No one else. Just you.” My chest tightened as the words fell from his lips. I knew he meant it. I could see it written in his glassy hazel eyes.
“I love you too, Frank. No one else. Just you.” My head fell on his shoulder and I closed my eyes. We were both so lifeless. It seemed love was the only energy we had right now. I drifted back to sleep in the comfort of his touch, his arms wrapped around me, his cold lips pressed against the side of my head, his heart beating against mine.

Frank pulled his arms off me and pulled himself out of my bed. He must have carried me upstairs when I fell asleep. As I walked around to my side of the bed I noticed he was only in his tee shirt and pants. This was the first time I’d really noticed his ass, perfectly shaped, firm and perky. I let out a small giggle as I watched him put his skinny jeans back on. “Oh. So you’re awake now?” he said, looking livelier than before.
I sat up and stretched my arms above my head. The duvet dropped off my chest and I noticed I was down to nothing but my underwear. I quickly pulled the duvet over myself and raised my eyebrows at Frank. “What? I just wanted to make sure you were comfy, angel.” Frank giggled and walked back over to my bed. He sat down next to me and placed his arms at either side of my head. Practically pinning me down.

I really wish he wasn’t teasing me like this. Looking me up and down curiously with his arms restricting my movement. Words can’t explain how badly I wanted him to touch me. I could feel our bodies gravitating towards each other. It was driving me insane. He threw the duvet off and put his legs over either side of me. I was completely unable to move now so I just stared up at him waiting to see what he was gonna do next.
Frank sunk his lips onto the weak spot on my neck causing me to cry out. I felt him smiling through the love bite as his hands began to explore every inch of my body. Frank grabbed my waist as he kissed me passionately, my hips bucking up to meet him.

His tongue snaked over my lips and danced around mine playfully. My entire body was tingling with his touch. Frank detached his mouth from mine and he took to kissing me down my chest, over my stomach until he met the edge of my midnight blue panties, Frank looked up at me with puppy like eyes, begging me to let him take them off. I gave him consent and he slipped them down over my legs and tossed them onto the floor beside my bed. Frank smirked at me as he buried his head deep between my legs. I swung my head back on the pillow and moaned his name. “uhh, Frank...”
