The One That Got Away
Chapter 7
Gerard’s P.O.V
“Sure. Text me your address and I’ll be over there in about thirty minutes.” I read the messages over and over again. I even told Mikey to read it. He told me what it said twice because I still couldn’t believe it! He is actually coming over! To my house! I wanted to scream with joy but I couldn’t, one because Mikey would think that I'm crazy and two because I didn’t even understand why I was so happy that Frank was going to come to my house.
Frank’s P.O.V
Gerard replied to my message with his address and my mom drove me there after I took a shower. She told me that if I happed to stay after 1 A.M that I shouldn’t call her, that I should text her that I was going stay over. I was hoping that this video game date with Gerard and Mikey took until 1 in the morning that way I could stay over and maybe sleep in Gerard’s room considering that he invited me.
I walked up to the door and knocked. Mikey opened that door, he showed me into the living room and told me that he was really happy that I accepted to come over and play games with him and Gerard because Gerard had been getting really easy to beat. Gerard was in the kitchen serving himself some soda. When he saw me he almost dropped his cup. Was he nervous? Could it be that this dude liked me back? No this is all in my head maybe he was startled because he saw me. Wait! Isn’t this just me restating my thoughts? No Frank just shut up you are here to have a good time with two of your friends! I screamed at myself in my head.
“We are going to play video games and then pizza then movies until we fall asleep” Mikey stated.
“Wait! Mikey,’ Gerard yelled making Mikey jump, ‘shouldn’t you ask Frank if his mom said that it was okay for him to sleep over?” I can’t believe that he is actually concerned about these types of things!
“Ohh yeah huh? Hey Frank did your mom say that it’s cool for you to sleep over?”
“Yeah she said it was okay but I didn’t bring my bag with my stuff.” Did I just say that? Oh My Gosh I just killed all my chances of staying over!
“Don’t worry I’ll let him barrow some of my pajamas.” Gerard said almost choking on his soda.
“Alright then it looks like I'm staying!”
“Friggin’ sweet dude!” Mikey yelled.
We played video games for three hours and a half just because Mikey was committed to beating me. But it was just a waste of his time because Black Ops is my game and nobody beats me in it. It’s just the way that things work. After that Gerard ordered some pizza. While we were waiting for it to arrive Gerard and Mikey questioned me about my favorite comic books along with questions about why I wasn’t at catholic school anymore and other stuff. The pizza getting delivered ended my interrogation session with Gerard and Mikey. While we ate the pizza we started discussing what movies we were to watch. Both brothers seemed to be very fond of scary movies. Although I'm not a very big fan of scary movies I didn’t want to look like a weenie so I let them continue fighting until they came to an agreement.
They came to the agreement that they would watch all the Freddy Cougar movies. We were half way through watching the second movie, when Mikey put his head on the pillow and fell asleep. Gerard didn’t notice so I didn’t point it out. I was scared out of my mind. How could Gerard just casually watch this and not get freaked out? Also Mikey, how could he be asleep while all these fictional characters were being massacred by this man? That’s it, that’s why these two people could just sit there because this was all fiction. Gerard stood up and walked upstairs maybe to go pee. Or did he not want to be in my company that he just went to go sleep in his room without telling me? No he wouldn’t do that, he would have told me I know he would. While he was gone I took the opportunity to calm myself down because even if I just found out that this was all fake and I was over reacting I was still pretty freaked out. He came back down that stairs and I noticed that he sat a bit closer to me. What was I talking about he didn’t move a bit closer to me he sat WAY to close to me! I liked that I could feel his body heat, he smelled really good.
Gerard’s P.O.V
I decided to go to the bathroom upstairs because I needed to think with out the background noise of the movie. On my way upstairs I came to the conclusion that I liked Frank. Yeah I said it I. Like. Frank. Yeah I have a girlfriend and guess what I don’t care! I like him. We have so much in common and I feel like with him I can be myself not like when I'm with Anna, when I'm with her I feel like I have to be the “burn out” that everyone thinks I am. I know it sounds crazy that just Wednesday I was a normal dude and by “normal” I mean straight. And over the course of two days I'm all of a sudden gay. Yeah I don’t care and I'm so confused that my head could explode because of all the thoughts running through my head right now. None of this was important right now I had to come up with a way to find out what I was going to do to get this dude to like me back. Think about it a beautiful creature like that had to have everyone drooling I know he had me like that since the first day that I met him. I decided that I was to go down the stairs and sit close to him. Then I was to wait until he got sleepy he would lay his head on my shoulder and when that was to happen he would notice that he did so and would be startled noticing that I barley know him and it would be really awkward. Then I would look him in the eye and say that it’s okay, then kiss him. It was a risky plan I know, but I had to try it.
I walked down the stairs and sat a little too close to Frank. I wasn’t worried about Mikey because I knew that he was a heavy sleeper and that he had already fallen asleep. Just as planned Frank was starting to fall asleep and he put his head on my shoulder. He was surprised and looked straight into my eyes.
Franks P.O.V
Every bone in my body was calling for me to go to sleep it was like 3 in the morning. I finally gave in and started to lean towards Gerard. I was surprised when my head touched his shoulder. I looked straight into his hazel-green eyes ready to apologize, but I couldn’t do it so I kissed him.
“Sure. Text me your address and I’ll be over there in about thirty minutes.” I read the messages over and over again. I even told Mikey to read it. He told me what it said twice because I still couldn’t believe it! He is actually coming over! To my house!
