A Night Worth Remembering
It Always Comes Down To A Choice
Gerard’s P.O.V
“His name is Austin, mom, his name is Austin and he’s perfect and now I don’t have a chance,’ I sigh and sit down after hours of pacing around the living room waiting for my mom to come home, ‘and the worse part is that he knows him. They have history” I shudder as I mention the last word. yes, the expert I chose to talk to was my mom, don’t judge me okay! She has good reasoning when it comes to boys.
“Gerard, honey, don’t you think that you’re overreacting?” My mom pinches her nose while nodding her head in disappointment. She’s been sitting here for the past hour listening to me rant about Austin.
“Mom I’m not overreacting,’ I say in a whiney voice, ‘You should have seen him, leaning against his car with his hair flowing in the wind and the way he looked at Frankie with those big green eyes and long eyelashes. No, mom, no I’ve lost my chance.”
“Honey, I think you should give yourself some time and during that time just get your facts straight okay. If they did have ‘history’ as you say it can’t be that he is an ex-boyfriend because no one, trust me, no one reacts that way to an ex okay?”
“Okay mom” I say reluctantly. In my head I was thinking the opposite, I’ll give Frank time, but during that time I will find out every single thing I can on this Austin character. Frank will be mine, because I am Gerard Arthur Way and I have won every bet placed upon me by the guys and went to a great extent to get Mikey’s favorite comic signed and ended up becoming friends with the guy, so I can do anything.
Time to formulate a plan, this means.... Starbucks coffee.
Frank’s P.O.V
“So Frankie, now that you have heard literally everything that I have been through in the last 5 years I want to hear about you” Austin inquired once we sat down at the Starbucks near my house.
“Okay so first things first, there’s this guy...”
“Don’t tell me it’s that Gerard kid still” he said with a perfect smirk.
“Ahh, yeah it actually still is.”
“Frankie I love you, I really do, but don’t you think it;s time to let go it's been like a million years and he still hasn’t noticed or even crossed a word with you.”
“Lies! He totally talked to me a couple days ago!”
“Oo what did he say?”
“Well you know how I’m in theater right,’ he nodded, ‘well I was chosen as the lead, but he said that he wanted to be the lead so he went to talk to the teacher and she said to ask me so he did and I said yeah. So we have so totally talked and after that talk was over he followed me into the hallway and--”
“He kissed you!” Austin yells.
“No,’ I say regretfully because to kiss those lips would be amazing, ‘he just asked me why I gave him the part without a fight and I just made some lame excuse and then my brain decided to die and I just stood there awkwardly until he left.”
“Wow, that will surely get him to like you man!”
“No, just shut up okay! Sorry I can’t be as charming as you Austin!” I remarked. “Tell me how is André? Why isn’t he with you!?!”
“He’s at home kissing ass to my mom so he can go out with his friends tonight even though our first day of school is tomorrow.”
“He doesn’t even have to kiss ass, all he has to do is make ‘the face’ and your mom will cave. But on another note I am so glad you guys are gonna join me for the rest of the year I am so done being alone.” As a comfortable silence was setting the bell on the door rung and Gerard walked into the café, looking more gorgeous than ever.
Our eyes met immediately, like they were subconsciously looking for each other. The stare lasted for about 5 seconds, which seemed to be like hours, before he looked away and walked towards the counter.
“That’s him isn’t it?” Austin asked breaking me out of my trance. I turned crimson red and gave him a small nod. “Yeah that’s him.”
“He’s cute, I like him. Not like you, but I approve.” By this time Gerard had gotten his drink and headed in my direction. Wait what! Why is he coming over here, “Frankie why is he coming over here?” Austin asked, more like panicked.
“I don’t know I guess we’ll see.”
“Hey Frank funny seeing you here” Gerard commented awkwardly.
“Really? because I’m like always here. Wanna join u-us?” I half stuttered due to Austin kicking me under the table.
“Yeah, sure.” He pulled out a chair from the neighboring table and positioned it close too close to me. We sat in silence for a while before he asked, “Who’s this?” meaning Austin.
“Hmm? Oh this is Austin! He’s like the best person ever, I love him!” I felt Gerard tense up next to me.
“True story!” Austin added. “About him loving me, not the best person ever, that is all opinion, not fact.”
“Well that sounds great,’ Gerard said, his voice dripping with sarcasm, ‘I’ve never seen you before, are you new?”
“Me? To Jersey no. To you yeah.”
“Well, thats nice” Gerard pointed out in a rude tone. “Is this Starbucks the closest to you or do you just like it?” Gerard asked me.
“No, my house is right around the corner.”
“So is mine! How come I never knew this before? Did you just move over here?” Gerard asked more to himself than anyone else.
“No, I’ve lived in that house all my life actually.”
“So have I, isn’t that weird?”
“Well, maybe if you weren’t too busy being popular you would have known that Frankie here has lived near you all his life” Austin said angrily.
“Excuse me?” Gerard asked giving him a death glare.
“Well this is awkward,’ I whispered, ‘Austin my mom is going to want to stuff you with all her cookies by now and probably already has a million baked so lets go home” I pitched in, trying and failing to soothe the tension.
In the blink of an eye, Austin has grabbed me by the arm and is pulling me out of the door. Gerard stands up spilling his now forgotten coffee. He grabs my free arm, spinning me around and says, “Why don’t you come home with me so that we can practice lines?”
Standing between the two of them, I don’t know who to choose. Lines with Gerard, my eternal crush or go home with Austin, my best friend?
“His name is Austin, mom, his name is Austin and he’s perfect and now I don’t have a chance,’ I sigh and sit down after hours of pacing around the living room waiting for my mom to come home, ‘and the worse part is that he knows him. They have history” I shudder as I mention the last word. yes, the expert I chose to talk to was my mom, don’t judge me okay! She has good reasoning when it comes to boys.
