Frank's POV

~~~

I'd thrown up, all thanks to Mikey and Bob. They'd come into the room talking about Fallyn, asking me what it'd been like to hug her and things like that then I'd puked all over them and they were the only ones to blame.

I knew why I was like this and the guys knew why as well, although Gerard refused to accept it and had spent most of the trip on the phone, talking to various people that had things to do with the band and telling them to give any one of us a call if a girl names Fallyn contacted them which was a pretty good idea when I think about it but back to what I was saying.

I'd never been told the whole process behind it but I knew from other vampires I'd met that at some point a human guy or girl would come along that a vampire would fall in love with and they'd want to spend the rest of well, forever with them. It would always be the easiest arrangement and there was always a chance that you might miss meeting the person you're supposed to be with but if you were really lucky you'd meet the one.

I'm not stupid and I know saying this makes me sound like some twelve year old girl who thinks they've met the love of their life after a week. It had actually been a little over a week since I met Fallyn but even by this point I know I'm in love with her and I know she's the one, I don't care if Gerard didn't want me to be with her.

Ray, Mikey and Bob had already seemed to figure it out before me but every time Gerard wasn't on the phone he'd say things about me being delusional and Fallyn just suffering from the problems that came with being a teenager, he literally referred to me as a 'problem'.

What I found the most interesting about Mikey knowing that I was in love with her was that he didn't care, at least he didn't think a fuss needed to be made over it. I seriously don't understand how Gerard and Mikey can have such different opinions on it, they've got only a couple of years age gap and they act nearly the same yet Gerard's a douche and Mikey's normal.

I'm not a psychologist or anything even close to that but I get the feeling that the reason Gerard's so controlling when it comes to Fallyn is because he feels responsible for her getting taken in the first place and after hearing the story of what happened I knew it was Gerard fault, he shouldn't have left a little kid alone and he reaped the consequences.

Hopefully he'll realize that he screwed up one day and that he shouldn't blame me for it, if anything he should blame himself for treating one of his best friends like absolute crap, I've never done anything bad and I only want to make Fallyn happy. Gerard's been around me ever since the band took off and not to toot my own horn or anything but I could sleep with a lot of girls if I wanted to and I've never done that, I haven't had a sex or a girlfriend since I was about seventeen or sometime like that.

I'm not a player or anything and Gerard knows that, plus he knows more or less everything about me so he has no reason to not want me dating Fallyn other than his own problems.

This is all bullshit. Fal's is the only girl I've been interested in for years, she's got everything a guy could ever want, she's beautiful, smart, funny, talented and she's deeper than anyone I've ever met, I could go on about her for days if I wanted to. How good her hair smells, the exact color her face goes when she gets embarrassed, the look she'd give me when I said something she thought was stupid, how she'd chew her lip when playing a difficult part on the guitar, her giggle and the way she'd run around singing I'm Not Okay when she was hyped up on Skittles.

And now I've made myself feel sick.
I don't know how the whole feeling sick thing tied in with me being in love with her and having my eyes go black but then again I'm a vampire so there's gonna be a lot of unexplained shit going on in my life.
So far I've figured out most things but hey, I've got forever and at some point I'm going to end up with a bunch of questions that won't have answer and I'm either gonna have to find some reason or ignore it and I'm a pretty curious person so I'm not sure how that's gonna work.

One thing I'd like to know is why do I get sick when I think of Fallyn? I can understand wanting to be around her all the time but why would I suddenly get sick, this hasn't happened anytime before?

I'm almost tempted to try to talk to Gerard and ask him if he knew what's going on with me but I'll either get verbally attacked or get ignored, with Gerard when he's in a bad mood there's no in-between. Of course I'd have a slightly better chance at getting his attention if he knew I wasn't talking about Fal's but she was the whole reason he hated me in the first place so I technically wouldn't have this problem if there was a different girl in my life, not that I'd ever want there to be another girl.

I'm perfectly happy with the one I have...or lost...or don't have just yet...I don't freaking know.

I jumped when I felt my phone ringing and vibrating in my pocket since I'd been staring out the bus window and watching the world go by and the sun was almost completely up by this point and I'd gone off on a spiral of thoughts about Fallyn.

'I hear the phone it rings so violently. Can't leave my room, can't breathe since she left me. I will admit I hate those things I said. Girls will always cry, guys will never admit they did.'

"Shut up Blink," I muttered as I pulled my phone out of my pocket and answered the phone, some part of me hoping it was Fallyn for a second before I heard the voice on the other end and I felt my heart sink.

"Frankie, you there?" It was Brian, he was probably checking up to see if the band and I were close to New Jersey yet since we were supposed to be going home, not taking a detour to wherever the hell Blackford is to get Fal's before she does something bad.

"Um, yeah. I'm here," I replied, clearing my throat and trying to focus something that actually required attention, like the phone call for example because I know how easily he can get frustrated when he has to repeat himself, he's usually a very laid back guy though.

"Good because I've called Gerard over five times and he hasn't answered." That's no surprise, as I've already said he's been on the phone, calling everyone he can about Fallyn so it's obvious that everyone trying to call him would have trouble, especially Brian who isn't the biggest fan of texting.

"He's been occupied," I explained, listening in on Gerard for a second and hearing him talking to someone on the phone who I couldn't be bothered to figure out the voice of.

"Well tell him he can stop calling everyone. One of the people managing the messages for your site, they got a message from this girl saying her name is Fallyn and that she's Mikey and Gerard's sister," I almost collapsed from disbelief, I never thought I was gonna hear from her again but she did, "she also said she wants to talk to you guys, she's okay and that she's staying at twelve Pinewood Drive in Blackford." She's alive, she told us where she is, does this mean that she wants to come back and not run away?

"Guys. Guys!" I yelled running out of the bunks and into the living room where everyone was sitting down and I got a dirty look from Mikey and Bob who still weren't too happy about me vomiting on them but as I've already said, it's their fault.

"What?" Gerard was apparently the only one interested in saying anything but it was in a snappy voice while he held his phone away from his ear, talking to someone about Fallyn and I knew it mood was probably going to get better when he knew what was happening with her.

"Brian, do you think you could repeat what you said to me so the guys can hear it?" I put the phone on speaker, I was more telling him to talk than asking but I knew he'd repeat anyway, even if he hated doing it.

After I'd put the mobile on speaker mode although none of the guys really needed it Brian repeated what I'd just heard and I watched the group as their eyes and mouths became even more open than they already were, Gerard hanging up on whoever he'd been talking to, to listen and once he'd finished I thanked Brian and ended the call.

This was probably one of the happiest moments of my life, knowing that she was okay and would hopefully stay okay until we got to Blackford although there was the small problem that she could change her mind about things in the blink of an eye and could have a different plan in mind at any second.

"She's okay, thank fucking God she's okay," Gerard sighed before his head fell into his hands and he continued to whisper 'she's okay' over and over, not looking up or saying anything else so I sat on the couch next to him.

"She'll be okay when we get to Blackford too," I told him, I was expecting him to start yelling at me or saying something about wanting me to go away but instead he leaned against me, keeping his head in his hands.

"I'm sorry everyone, I've been so fucking stressed out and I've been an asshole because of it." I wasn't sure if he was apologizing for just annoying everyone or if he was apologizing for being a flat out douche.

"That's no reason to act like that, you've been mean to everyone who's tried to talk to you and in case you forgot everyone's worried about Fallyn. Especially Frank who you've been treating like dirt, he's been so worried about her that he's taken an entire bottle of Mikey's pills just to sleep for a little while, he's been so freaked out that he's thrown up." Yeah, Ray had walked in just as I was vomiting all over Mikey and Bob who'd screamed like little girls and been lucky I didn't have that much in my stomach.

"I'm sorry Frank, I'm still not changing my mind on what I think about you being interested in Fallyn but I could have been a little nicer about it." I should have seen that coming but he was right, there's hundreds and thousands of different ways he could have told me he didn't want me dating or loving Fal's, I still wasn't planning on thinking about her as anything else but the one I'm in love with.

"I don't expect you to change your mind but I hope you get over whatever issues you've got with yourself that make you unwilling to let anyone date her." Gerard gave me an openhanded whack on the thigh that hurt a little bit but mainly made me laugh, he wasn't even bothered enough to really try to hurt me.

"Save any bickering and fighting guys, we need to pick her up first."
