Frank's POV
~~~
I lay in my bunk with Peanut sitting on my chest, I can't go to sleep.
The baby fox would switch between sleeping and looking at me while chirping, which made Mikey pissed off and kept me entertained.

Unfortunately after a half an hour he got used to it and went to sleep and my fun was ruined.
Gerard was in the other room arranging song lists, although I think he didn't want to sleep and give me an opportunity to say something to Fallyn.

Ray was in the living room playing his guitar like he always did when he didn't need sleep.
Bob was watching movies on his mobile and Mikey was happily sleeping.
I don't know why Mikey slept so much, he didn't need to yet he slept almost every night.
Then again he's the one who's always bitching about being a vampire so he's probably trying to act like a human.

I slept last night so I wasn't tired and was stuck lying in bed hoping something interesting would happen so I'd have the chance to do something, anything.

Fallyn was sleeping deeply in her bunk. I could hear her heart beating steadily.
I'd promised Gerard I wouldn't flirt with her in any way so I had to try really hard to talk to her as a friend.

Earlier tonight I slipped up, I'd gone to get a glass of water while she fiddled around with Pansy.
When she tried to play the again everything sounded like crap and it was obvious she'd mucked around with the dials.

As punishment I tickled her and Gerard wasn't very happy with me having my hands anywhere on her, not that I was gonna try anything.
Verbally he told me to knock it off but mentally he was swearing at me as if he had tourettes.
I promised I wasn't going to flirt with her anymore and he should trust me.
Anyway I don't even think she realized what flirting was.

I could write her a love letter and she'd think it was a joke or me just being a nice guy.
I'm so pathetic at making my feelings obvious that I've been friend-zoned by a sixteen year old girl. Fantastic.
The thought of earlier when I'd given her the necklace and she hugged me crossed my mind.
Damn what was I thinking, I should have kissed her.

'Frank what the fuck did I say when it came to Fallyn?'
As I said, Gerard, forever a buzzkill.
He was supposed to be working not patrolling my thoughts like a creeper.

I let out a sigh and Peanut looked at me and chirped.
'Gee, stop being such a fucking mind dictator. I said I won't touch her but you don't have control over my thoughts.'

'Unless you are thinking about taking her to Disneyland or that she didn't brush her teeth I don't want you thinking about her.'

'What gives you the final say on what I can think about her? You're not her Dad or her protector. You were gonna let her kill herself just the other day!'

'Because it would have been her choice, you hitting on her is not her choice so I get to stop you.'

'That doesn't even make sense.'

'Whatever, go headbutt a wall.' I laughed and from this end of the bus I could hear Gerard growl, haha.
I heard a sigh from above me and I looked up, assuming Fallyn had woken up.

"Misty, Misty. Wake up." Misty? Who was referring to Fallyn as Misty?
I heard her groan and the sound of sheets moving around.

"Come on, wake up silly. I can't be here long and I'm trying to talk to you." Was that a girl talking?
Was Fallyn talking to herself or something?

There was a squealing sound that was cut off and I sat up in my bed.
How did someone manage to get into Fallyn's bed without me noticing, I've been awake the whole time.

"Ssh, I don't wanna wake anyone up. If they check on you I'll have to leave."
I was about to get out of the bed and beat the hell out of whoever had somehow managed to sneak onto the bus and Fallyn's bed when I heard something that made me freeze.

"K-K-Katelyn?" What the fuck? Katelyn? Isn't she supposed to be dead?
Is there a chance that Fallyn might be talking in her sleep?
Fuck that thought, it would mean she spoke in other people's voices as she slept which is unlikely.

"Yeah Mist, it's me...how are you?"
I'm torn, should I go and tell Gerard about this?
She shouldn't be able to talk to a friend who's dead, unless that friend is a vampire which I doubt because Fallyn mentioned that she went to Katelyn's funeral on her birthday.

"I don't know. You left me all alone. Why would you do that to me? I'm alone in the world now."
Why would she think she's alone in the world? I thought me and the guys made it obvious we were there to support her no matter what.

I could hear Fallyn crying through her pillow and my unbeating heart hurt.
There is a very real possibility I was listening to the voice of her dead friend right now...this is trippy, even for a vampire.

"I didn't leave you alone on purpose. Besides you have the guys now, Gerard, Ray, Mikey, Bob and Frankie. You made the right choice when they asked you to stay, all the wrong things would have happened if you said no."
How the hell did Katelyn know about us? What bad things would have happened if she didn't say yes to traveling with us.

"But how are you here?"
Yeah, I wanted to know the same thing, how was Katelyn here?

"I'm sorta here and sorta not. You went to my funeral and you know my body's in the coffin. I'm just my soul now or a guardian angel, however you want to think of it."
Guardian angel...tha' fuck is happening right now?
This sounded ridicules coming from a vampire but I thought angels weren't supposed to be real.

"What do you mean by guardian angel?"
Right now I'm addicted to this conversation like an old lady and her soaps.
I kinda feel like I'm eavesdropping even though I'm not considering I was awake long before they started talking.

"Since 'they' realised you tried to kill yourself before your time you now have a guardian angel to keep you from any funny business, me."
Fallyn has a guardian angel?!

'Stop thinking so highly of yourself Frank.' Gerard thought to me only hearing the one thing that I thought too loud.
The sound of crying came from the bunk above me and I had to try really hard to stay here and not go up there to give her a hug.

"Why did you kill yourself?" Fallyn sounds so sad right now, I wish I could comfort her.

"I didn't, and don't ask anything further because I can't speak about it till you are ready."
This can't be an angel she's talking to, maybe a ghost or some kind of talking, non brain eating zombie.

"Can I at least ask why you haven't got a halo, wings or a harp?"
I heard some quiet laughter from the bunk above me and I instantly knew it wasn't Fallyn, must be Katelyn.

"Angels don't have halos or harps and my wings are tucked away they're too wide for the bus."

"You would not believe what the future has ahead of you."
A good looking rhythm and co-lead guitarist? I thought with a smile on my face.

'Frankie, I'm actually considering banning you from thinking about yourself as well.' Gerard thought at me and I had to try not to laugh.
In all honesty though she could be lead guitarist of a band with some work.

"Oh yeah? Like what?"

"Uh-uh. I can't tell you because that would be cheating, although I can say you are on the right path now and you should keep up with you behavior."
Fallyn should continue to nickname me after a hobbit from Lord of the Rings?

'Yes she should.'

'Shut up, Gerard!'
He stopped talking to me and I grinned slightly.

"What do you mean by my behavior? Is all I'm doing is being me."
That's all you need, I thought at her even though I knew she'd be unable to hear me.

"Exactly, by the way I got you a present. It was supposed to be for your sixteenth but I got a bit delayed giving it to you..." The sound of wrapping paper being crinkled went through the room and it increased my already doubtless belief of Fallyn's dead friend being on the bunk above me.

"Thanks, I really miss you, you realize that right?" One of them sighed and I frowned a bit, she should always be able to talk to her friend.

"I have to go now, I'll be back again." It was Katelyn who talked and I heard a slightly choked off cry from Fallyn.

"Do you have to go? When will you be back?"
Yes, please let me know so I can get a look to believe that angels really exist.

"Yeah, I have to go. I'll be back in a couple of days. Be careful when you hug Frankie by the way, he's, um, a bit unstable at the moment. I love you bestie."
Katelyn knew the truth about me?

Who the hell did she think she was telling Fallyn I was unstable, she didn't know me.
I'd never hurt Fallyn.
There was the sound of giggling and a light thump, I looked out my curtain in time to see Katelyn disappear through the floor.
Holy shit!

'Shut the fuck up! I'm trying to work!'

'Don't get your panties in a twist, Gee.'
Fallyn opened her curtain and I barely managed to close mine without her noticing.

"What did you mean about Frank?"
I heard the sound of the bed creaking as she lent out, looking for her friend who had just disappeared through the floor.

I went to roll over in an attempt to get some unneeded sleep when I heard a scream as Fallyn lent a little too far out of the bunk.
She hit the ground as I opened the curtain and Gerard was in the room within seconds.
Fallyn lay on the carpet with her eyes shut and an expression that would make you think she was sleeping.

"What happened to her?" Gerard said, kneeling on the floor next to her with a concerned look on his face.

"I think she lent too far out of the bed and fell." He nodded and put his hands underneath her, lifted her small body up and put her on my bed next to me.

We were both thinking the same thing, which was putting her on a lower bunk so when she woke up if she were to fall out again she wouldn't hit the floor so hard.
Peanut ran over to her and started chirping which made Mikey wake up, apparently the sound of a girl screaming doesn't wake him up.

"Did Frankie bite her?" He asked while getting out of his bunk bed and looking at her closely.
I picked up Peanut who was still chirping and glared at Mikey.

"No, I didn't bite her. She fell out of the bed and got knocked unconscious." For the first time Mikey looked more concerned for Fallyn than himself.
I'm not saying he was self centered or selfish but he could be indifferent to other people sometimes.

"Is she okay?" Mikey put on his glasses while talking so he could see everyone clearly.

"No, she's injured." I looked at Bob who was standing there quietly with a somber expression on his face. Everyone listened to Bob when he said someone was hurt, he was unusually intuitive when it came to injuries.
I gave Peanut to Ray who was standing by the doorway so I could move over and help Gerard if he needed the help.

"Where?" Gerard gave him a serious look then began checking any visible patches of skin on her for cuts or wounds.

"I'm not sure which ones exactly but two of the middle ribs on the right side of her ribcage, they're broken." Gerard pulled up her shirt enough for all of us to see two ribs sitting strangely underneath her skin.

"I'm surprised she made it to sixteen." Gerard said with a sigh at he pulled her pyjama top down again.

"What are you gonna do?" I asked one of the stupidest questions of the night and Gee gave me a look that said 'you are an idiot'.
Without saying anything further he bit into his arm and placed his bleeding wrist over her mouth.
After a moment passed the magical or whatever word you want to use effects of the vampire blood kicked in and all of us heard the creaking sound as her ribs put themselves back into place.

They should manufacture this stuff, there'd never be any dead people.
Except for when you died of old age.
Fallyn sat up, groaned and began to cough hard.

Some of Gerard's blood came out of her mouth and landed on her hand, she looked at is suspiciously then lifted her gaze to the rest of us.

"What happened?" She coughed a couple more times and wiped the blood away with her other hand.

"You fell out of the bed and got knocked out, we were about to help you when you woke up just now." Gerard easily lied to her and it made me feel a bit upset.

'I don't like all this lying, Gee.' I said through mind speak to Gerard as Ray handed Peanut back to Fallyn.

'I don't like it either. Why don't you go ahead and tell her I'm sure she'll be grateful when she finds out that you've bitten her and she drank my blood.'
It didn't take a genius to know that Gee was being sarcastic.

'Can we at least consider it?'

'Give it a couple of days and I'll start thinking about it, but if you say anything before then I'll have to murder you, got it?'
I let out a sigh and he knew that he just got a victory.

"What's up with you guys? You are all staring really intensely like this." Fallyn did a bad copy of Gee's thinking face and I laughed little bit.

"Gerard's got a headache and I've got one as well." I said then gave her a smile.

'What were you saying about lying?'

'Shut up Gee!'

"Why don't you get some more sleep? It's about three in the morning. I don't want you falling onto the floor again. Use Frankie's bed for the night." Gerard gave her the same kind of smile that I did seconds ago and she smiled back for him, which made me slightly unhappy.

"Yeah, I don't mind sharing. Move over." She laughed and I grinned, then Gee ruined my fun when he pinched me.

'You take it seriously. She doesn't. Don't do that again.'

'Ass.'

'Emo.'

'Hypocrite.'

'Pervert.'

'Takes one to know one.'

'You are both beautiful now shut up.' Bob chuckled at our reaction to his sudden intrusion on the conversation.

"My head really hurts." She said holding a hand up to the right side of her head.

"Frank can get you some pain killers." Gee volunteered me without my say so, even though I planned to offer it still made me cranky.

'Why me?'

'Because I said so.'

I stood up and walked around Gerard who was crouching next to the bed.

'Douche.'

'Psychopath.'

'As I said. It takes one to know one.'

"For gods sake! Knock it the fuck off!" Mikey broke the rules of mind fights and accidentally said something out loud which left Fallyn looking at him as if he was a spazz.

"Mikey I think you need to get some more sleep." Ray said while standing there uncomfortably, he apparently felt embarrassed on Mikey's behalf.
Mike didn't say anything and walked away toward the living room in a fit of adult angst.

I walked into the kitchen and filled a glass with cold water from the tap then grabbed some pain killers from the cabinet above the sink.
By the time I got back in Fallyn looked like she was well on her way to the land of sleep.

"Here you go." I gave her the tablets and she took them with the glass of water before shuffling further under the blankets.

"Thanks, Frankie." She mumbled before closing her eyes, I grinned, she had actually used my nickname.

'Into the kitchen.' Gerard spoke to all of us and I picked up the glass of water and smiled while watching as Peanut curled up on the pillow next to Fallyn.
She's so cute.

'Frankie!'

'I was talking about the fox.'

'Sure you were.' Gerard saw right through my lie and I could practically taste the bitterness that came with his mind speak.
I walked into the kitchen and put the empty glass of water in the sink while the guys sat at the table.

"We need to talk over telling Fallyn the secret about us being vamps." Gerard sat on the bench with a can of drink in his hand. I was tempted to call him out for drinking so soon after getting clean but I saw the words Pepsi on the side and gave up.

"She's gonna be staying with us for a while and she is going to find out one way or the other. Whether its by accident like Frankie biting her or one of us telling her." Ray said calmly and shared his thoughts with the group.

"Okay here's my opinion. Why does everyone think I'm gonna be the one to bite her? What about Mikey and Bob?"

"We all know being attracted to the person makes you want to bite them more." Mikey shrugged while leaning back in his seat and resting his shoulder on the window.

"Yeah and in case it hasn't occurred to you Bob and Mikey can get out of control a fair bit but you're like a whole other person when you're feeding on someone." Gerard took a sip of his drink and looked at the rim of the can, unwilling to look at me while he spoke.

"I'm getting in control of it. I was the one who brought Fallyn back when I got her out of the water." I protested against their accusations, I'm much more in control now than I was last month.

"Did you drink her blood though? If you did I bet you would have accidentally killed her and Gee would have had to turn her."

"We are getting away from the topic, this is about whether or not we should tell her. Not how long it's gonna take Frank to kill her." I let out a sigh but managed to keep my calm cool.

"I think we should tell her, after a bit though so she won't freak out like she did the other night."

"I agree with Frankie." Ray said while pulling his guitar onto his lap.

"Me too." Mikey adjusted his glasses and went back to staring out the window.

"Uh, yeah I agree with Frank." Bob was looking at his mobile and I wasn't entirely sure that he knew what the conversation was about.

"I agree as well. So it's unanimous. We'll tell her at the end of the week, on Saturday." Gerard finished his drink, tossed the can into the trash and went into the living room to watch tv at such a low volume that it was practically on mute.

"I have something else to say but I guess Gerard will have to miss out." Before the rest of the guys could go about doing other stuff I launched into an epic story about the discussion I heard earlier between Katelyn and Fallyn.
Gee heard me the whole time and eventually came back to the kitchen when the conversation got interesting enough.

"You're kidding me." Mikey said with his jaw hanging open as I told them how Katelyn disappeared into the floor.

"No, it's the truth I swear it on the band." I put my hand over my still heart and made one of the most solemn oaths a My Chem member could make.

"Shit, do you think she really was an angel or maybe it was some kind of demon." It hadn't crossed my mind the possibility of Katelyn being a demon.

"Maybe she was just a ghost." Gerard didn't look very worried about it and I was surprised considering that it took the smallest thing to set him off on a paranoia tangent.

"How about next time she shows up we try and talk to her?" Bob had finally put away his mobile and was putting some attention into the conversation.

"I guess that could work. At least there's a bright side, if she's not afraid of talking to her dead best friend then she shouldn't have a problem finding out her new mates are vampires." I'd gotten a can of Mountain Dew out of the fridge and was drinking it hoping I could trick my stomach into thinking it was blood.

"Okay we'll try that." Gee said leaning on the bench, he looked a bit tired and I remembered that he hadn't slept for almost a week.

"Now that everything's settled, Gee, go to bed you're tired and we need you in a healthy condition because we can't get a stand in singer." He snorted and waved at us before heading off to the bunk beds.

"I'm gonna go gets some ZZZ's as well. Frankie, you are on babysitting duty for Mikey and Bob, have fun." Ray followed Gee to the bunk beds and left me stuck there with the two other guys who were busy staring at their technology.

I sighed and walked into the living room, plopped down on the couch and began channel surfing.
This is gonna be a long night.
