Not So Bulletproof Hearts

Kat POV


Wednesday had come around a lot faster than I expected, I awoke that morning, my neck beginning to ache from sleeping on the couch for nearly 2 weeks now. Frank was already up, he had gone out to refill the car with gas. Gerard was still asleep and I think Mikey has already gone to school. I pulled a black lace dress out of my bag and slipped it on, it had three quarter length sleeves and sat just above my knees. It was my favourite dress. I brushed my hair and straightened my fringe to make it look perfect. Dark makeup seemed appropriate so I put a generous coating of black eye liner over my eyes and applied my ruby red lip stick. I heard the door open from the bathroom and Frank wander past calling “I’m back, angel. Are you ready?” I quickly fixed my hair and came into the hall.

Frank tilted his head as he looked at me, with a smile creeping on his on his face but a solemn look in his eyes. “You’re so beautiful, Kat.” I stepped towards him and held him close. “Thank you.” I pulled away to put on my shoes, black beetle crushers with leather laces. Frank opened the front door and walked down the path to the car, I followed closely behind. The journey down to Belleville dragged on for what seemed like forever, I wanted to talk to Frank but I felt too sad to speak. Occasionally he put his hand on my thigh, caressing me with his thumbs and gave me a comforting smile. “Don’t be sad, angel. I’ll be waiting to pick you up and then I have something planned to cheer you up.” His words seemed promising and that brought my hopes up a bit.

After about an hour of merciless driving down the freeway and navigating through towns we arrive at my grandparents’ house. “Right, so I’ll pick you up from here at 6pm, right?” My chest was tight; I really didn’t wanna do this. I just wanted to dive into Frank’s arms and stay with him always. “I love you, Kat.” He pulled me across the car to him and planted his lips on mine; I could feel the electricity running through me again. I don’t think I’ll ever get over how gorgeous and amazing he is. I watched Frank’s car disappear down the road and walked up to the front door, looking at my feet the entire way. A feeling of doom came over me, I know I was attending a funeral later but still, something wasn’t right.

(Franks POV)
I didn’t want to leave her there. She looked so upset; I don’t want my angel to be upset. But what choice did I have? Driving back down the freeway I mulled over my plans for tonight, a romantic dinner, she’ll love that. Flowers? Roses? Tulips? I don’t know really. All I can do is try I guess. I’ll buy her a bottle of her favorite wine for us to share as well, and to top it all off, we’ll finish what we started in Gee’s kitchen the other night. I giggled to myself as I turned off on the road back to the village. I’m not cooking her a romantic dinner at Gee’s place, he’d ruin it for sure. I’ll take her back to my house, I need to call at the shop and get some food first. I called in the shop and bought some red roses, why not stick to the classics? A bottle of red wine and I guess I’ll attempt to cook a pasta dish of some sort. The more I think about this cooking thing the less I like the sound of it, but I’ll do anything to make Kat happy.

I threw the bags on the passenger seat next to me, I wish Jade was sat there and not some stupid shopping. With a sinking feeling of loneliness in my heart I turned onto the main road. A red car seemed to come out of nowhere, I panicked and turned the wheel drastically trying to get away but it went straight into the front of my car. I felt my head fly back and smack down on the steering wheel. I looked up out of the window at the side of me to see Shiloh running towards me and open the door. That’s when everything went black…
