It's been 2 week since I started and it's finally Friday. I invited the guys over to my house and we're gonna just hang out and do, you know, friend stuff. I haven't really made any other friends, but people have talked to me. After school I walk home by myself. I walk in and take my shoes off, run up to my room and put my backpack in the closet. I grab something to eat and watch TV until the doorbell rings. I get up and open the door to see Frank standing there.
"Hey Frank, come on in," I say moving so he can step inside.
"Thanks," he says as I close the door.
"Where's everyone else?" I ask curiously.
He shrugs, "I'm sure they'll be here soon," he says sitting on the couch.
I sit next to him and give him a small awkward smile, which he returns. There's a brief awkward silence until Frank breaks it.
"So do you play any instruments?" He asks.
"Um, yeah, I play some bass guitar," I answer.
"Oh, really?" He says, "so does Mikey. Ray and I play the guitar,"
"Cool, you should start a band," no sooner after I say that does the doorbell ring.
I get up and open the door and greet the Way brothers.
"Ray will be here soon, we can start the party without him, right?" Gerard grins, walking in and hopping onto the couch next to Frankie.
"Hey, Gee, Mikes," he says giving a wave to Mikey, who was still standing.
"So you want any drinks?" I ask.
"Yeah I'll just have whatever," Gerard says kinda giving a wave.
"I'll have a soda," Frank says, "thanks Jaimie,"
I walk into the kitchen and Mikey follows, not really saying anything.
"You want something to drink?" I ask walking over to the fridge.
"I'll have whatever you have," he shrugs.
I grab five sodas, I give one to Mikey and give the other two to Gerard and Frank, saving one for Ray.
I hold mine but don't open it yet, sitting on the love-seat next to the couch, and Mikey sits next to me.
"So, what do you guys wanna do?" I ask.
"Play spin the bottle of course," Gerard jokes since I'm the only girl here. We all laugh and Ray walks in, not even bothering to knock or anything.
"You're so polite Ray," I joke, "always knocking before entering and such,"
He laughs and grabs the can we saved for him and sits next to Gee.
Gerard looks at Mikey and I and grins, making me feel slightly uncomfortable.
We all just sit around talking for a little bit, mostly about bands and movies and stuff.
"So Jaimie said she plays bass," Frank mentions. I see Mikey's face kinda light up when he hears that.
"Really? Me too," he smiles. I grin, "yeah, and Frank and Ray play guitar I hear, you guys should start a band or something."
"Oh, yeah, I'll sing," Gerard suggests.
We all laugh for some reason, even thought Gee sounds like he could be a good singer.
We sit around a little longer until we decide to do something. "Play hide and seek?"
"No," "hmm," "What should we do?"
We all sit and think for a while.
"Wanna go TP the popular kids houses?" Frank suggests.
"Yeah!" "Sure," okay," sounds good to me," we all agree.
We go for a guy named Rick Tucker's house first. We go out since it's already dark, even though it's like six o' clock and get a pack of toilet paper from the store.
We start going to town on this guy's house when the door flings open and we hear gun shots. We drop everything and run in different directions. I slip down the hill and start tumbling, I land on my back on the bottom and see someone running down after me. He looks short so I'm guessing it's Frank. I start getting up when he trips and lands on top of me, pushing me back down. We both just lay there breathing heavily from running, which made it awkward, but I didn't even try to move.
"Frank?" I groan, unable to see very well in the dark. He doesn't say anything but I can feel his breath on my neck, giving me goosebumps. "Did you see where everyone went?" I ask.
"No, it's too dark," he replies, still not getting up.
"Frank get up, the ground is cold and wet," I complain trying to push him off me.
"Sorry," he says getting off and helping me up. Luckily it wasn't too wet and there was no mud where I landed. I didn't have my phone so I couldn't call Gerard or Ray or Mikey.
"We should find everyone else," I say looking at Frank, but only being able to see his silhouette. I feel a cold hand grab mine and I look down.
It's probably just so we don't get lost, I think. Yet I can't help but blush a little, thankfully it's dark so he can't see. We wander around in the dark, not finding anyone, hell, we don't even hear anyone. I sit down, dragging him down with me since we're still holding hands. He sits down, still not letting go.
"Why are you still holding my hand Frank?" I ask in a whisper for some reason.
"I don't want to lose you," he whispers back, close to my ear.
I feel weird inside and blush at his words. He could just mean he doesn't want me to get lost, but the way he worded it...
I don't say anything and look away, even though there's no way he could see my face.
He puts his hand on my knee, which I had up near my face,causing me to look towards him. His hand found my face and he gently grabbed my chin, pulling me into a kiss. I get a weird feeling in my stomach and I can feel my face turn red, when I hear someone shouting our names. I pull away and he makes a sound, as if he doesn't like me ending it so soon. I look and see three figures standing under the street light watching us.
I wonder if they saw us.
I grab Frank's hand and pull him up, I let go of his hand and walk towards the other guys.
"Did you guys give up looking for us?" Gerard asks, looking at me and Frank.
"Were you guys just sitting there waiting for us to come rescue you?" Ray jokes. Okay, they didn't see us. I look at Frank, who looks back at me, then back to everyone else.
"Shall we go to my house?" Frank says, "I have food!"
When he says that all the guys agree and we walk home.
Gerard and Ray both grab each of my hands like parents hold their kids hands on a walk.
"What the fuck? What are you guys doing?"
"You're the youngest, we can't let you get lost, now can we?" Gerard says obviously joking, but still kinda weird. It's true, I am the youngest 'cause my birthday is in May and everyone else's is before, meaning Frank and Mikey are only months older while Gerard and Ray are a year older. We swing our arms back and forth like little kids before arriving at Frank's house. They let go of my hands and we all went inside and laughed about what happened. Frank and I mentioned tumbling down the hill and Gerard said how he and Mikey ran full speed into each other, while Ray escaped without any problems. Ray headed home after a while and so did Gerard and Mikey, leaving me and Frank. We talked for a little bit, every once in a while him scooting a little bit closer. I looked at the time and remembered it was Friday, so it didn't really matter how late I stayed, plus my parents won't care.
"I'll be right back, I have to use the bathroom," I say getting up and finding the bathroom.
I walk out and see Frank gone. I look around, not wanting to snoop around his house, so I don't go very far.
He comes back and I stand up from where I had sat on the couch.
"My dad should be back from work in about an hour and a half, so..." he says trailing off.
"So I guess I should leave?"
"No, you don't have to leave," he says reassuringly.
"Well, it's getting kinda late anyways," I say moving towards the door. "Oh, well, we could do something tomorrow?" He says, not sounding completely sure.
"Maybe, goodnight Frank," I say waving and closing the door behind me and walking home.
