I had basically sat in English class drumming my pencil on the desk and thinking about what I was going to say to Frank. I think I irritated everyone in there and my professor, but I didn't care. I wasn't paying any attention either until my professor said "You'll be quizzed on this tomorrow." Great. Looks like I'm failing that quiz. I'm such a moron. But after 90 dragging minutes class was over and I went to meet up with Mikey at Starbucks.

I entered the quaint little coffee shop and closely watched for Frank but I couldn't see him. So he was either in the back or in the bathroom. I look over to my right to see Mikey waving me down trying to get my attention. I wave as a sign that I see him and move over towards his direction.

"Hey Mikes."

"Hey Gee, I got us both a coffee. I even got your favorite!"

"Thanks Mikey that's sweet!"

"Anytime. Have you thought about what you're going to say to Frank?"

"Yeah all English class. Which by the way I'm probably going to end up failing because I couldn't pay attention."

"Well what are you going to say."

"I still don't know I can't even be certain he'll want to talk with me."

"OH! There he is! Go, go, go."

I look over my shoulder to see Frankie in his Starbucks apron making what looked like a chai latté. His attire definitely didn't fit him. All his tattoos all over the place, I giggled at his look.

"Uhm, h-hey Frankie."

"Oh, hello Gerard. Can I help you with anything." he said with a stone cold look.

"I was wondering if we could talk. Y'know about last night."

"I'm sorry but I am unable to because I am working."

"Frankie please. I really need to talk with you."

He looked around for a quick second before whispering "Fine but meet me outside in the back."

I nodded and pushed the door open and made my way to the back. I waiting out there pacing back and forth for 5 minutes until Frankie finally came out the back door.

"Alright what?"

"Frankie listen, I'm so sorry. I'm a shitty friend and you deserve so much better than me. I wouldn't even be surprised if you never wanted to talk to me again. I understand. But I just want to let you know, I love you no matter what you decide. You've been there for me, anytime I've ever needed you. I used to be there for you, and I know I'm not anymore and it's stupid of me because you are the most amazing person and friend I've ever met. I'd give anything to redo these last few years and be there for you."

He gave me a blank stare for a few minutes then tears started to fall from his eyes and he pulled me into a hug.

"Gee don't be sorry! I should be more patient. I need to be more understanding. And yeah I love you too. You're the best friend a guy could ever have. I'm going to fix you Gerard. I promise. I'll fix you."

"Well, how about this weekend we go see an R rated movie. And don't worry I don't have to sneak you in now!" I said with a laugh.

He joined in and said "Yeah, I'd love too!"

He told me he had to get back to work before he'd get fired so I walked back in, grabbed Mikey and headed back home. I'm so glad my best friend is there for me. I don't know what I'd do if he left.

*******Time Lapse*******

As I lay on my bed trying to study notes my head starts pounding. Throbbing and aching. Ugh! I can't take this. I walk to the bathroom and take two aspirin. Still not helping. I look over on the kitchen counter. On it sits a bottle of Captain.

"I'm sorry Frankie. I'm sorry Mikey." I say before taking a huge swig of it and falling to the floor.

Notes

Glad to see Gee and Frankie are still friends<3 But poor Gee ): Hope you're enjoying!
