The Only Hope For Me Is You
Bittersweet
~Frank's P.O.V~
I woke up feeling better than the last time that I slept. Patrick's baggy clothes making me feel a little safe and his bed adding to the safety I felt. I turned over to see the sun peeking through the window. I could hear the sound of birds and it made everything okay for a little while. I looked at Patrick's nightstand to see an alarm clock and a book. I noticed the clock stated it was 8:00 o'clock. I yawned and sat up from Patrick's bed.
A sweet scent was making it's way around the room. I looked around searching for a candle of some sort but I couldn't find the source of the pleasant aroma. My feet found their way to the cold hardwood floor of Patrick's room and into the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed, I still didn't know how I was going to explain the cut's on my lips and the blacked right eye. I allowed my eyes to escape themselves and glanced to the counter. On the counter to see a package with a tooth brush enclosed. The back of the package read Frankie, I figured you'd need one of these. When you're finished come into the kitchen -Pete(:
Pete was being so nice. I wonder what changed his way of thinking about me.. WAY. That reminds me, Gerard. I have to call him this morning and tell him to come get me. I can't wait to hear his voice, to feel his soft lips on mine again. It felt like it had been years since I saw him last but in all actuality it hadn't even been twenty four hours yet. How can so much happen in such a short period of time?
I finished brushing my teeth and made my way downstairs like Pete's note had instructed me. I could smell the sweet scent I had in Patrick's bedroom and it became stronger the closer I got to the kitchen. I walked in to find Pete and Patrick making breakfast. They both looked at me and cooed a good morning. I smiled and sat at the table.
"I hope you're hungry." Pete said looking at me sweetly.
"I really am." I replied to him with a smile.
Pete redirected his attention to his cooking but the smile on his face had not vanished. I watched the brothers make breakfast and asked myself why I had to be an only child. I hated it growing up and every now and then it comes around to bite me in the ass. I just wish I had what they did.
I turned letting my legs find their way under the table and my eye's searched for a notebook of some sort and a pen. When I couldn't seem to find one I asked Patrick if he may have one.
"Yea, I should have an empty one on top of my desk if you want to go get it. My study room is the first room after you go up the stairs. You know the one in front of the bathroom." He instructed me with a smile to the room.
I found the room and sat down at Patrick’s desk. When I found the notebook and the pen I began to write,
Patrick,
Thank you so much for allowing me to stay at your house for the night. I was so scared I didn’t know what was going to happen. I was afraid that Kellin would find his way to me. You have done so much for me and you’ve only known me for a short period of time. I can’t thank you enough. Here’s my number, call or text me whenever you need anything. It may sound odd coming from someone younger but I hope that we can become close friends.
Frank(:
I signed my number and took the piece of paper out of the notebook, leaving a new blank page. I folded the piece paper and laid it on top of the now empty book. I got up and went back down to the kitchen where Pete and Patrick were. I looked at both of them and smiled. I liked it here. I felt safe. Almost as safe as I felt when I was with Gerard.
To sit here and think about Gerard made me happy. He was my everything. I loved everything about him. But I also loved everything about Kellin when I was with him. What if Gerard was exactly like Kellin? What if he was planning to hurt me like Kellin did? No. Gerard would never intentionally hurt me. He likes me. I was over thinking it. I needed to stop.
“Frank?” I heard a voice say my name.
“Oh. Uh. Sorry. What?” I asked. I hadn’t heard Pete say my name a first time, I must have been deep in thought.
“It’s okay.” Pete laughed. “I was just wondering if you wanted to go out and do something after breakfast.” He looked at me with longing eyes while he sat my plate of food in front of me.
“Well, is it okay if I call Gerard? I want to let him know I’m okay and spend some time with him.” I winced when I saw the pain in his eyes. He had a crush, on me. It’s never happened to me before.
“Oh. Okay. Yeah, that’s fine.” Pete said turning back to get his own plate. Patrick sat down and gave me an apologetic smirk. I thought about the note I had written him. I hope he would call. I would love to have someone like him in my life. He’s the kind of person that you know, no matter what; he’ll be there for you. He gave off that ‘I’m here for you through thick and thin’ thing that made me trust him.
Pete sat down and we ate in an awkward silence. I felt kind of bad for blowing him off the way I did but if I let him think there was something there I may get myself into trouble. Pete was the kind of guy that you couldn’t resist. His eyes were so beautiful you could spend days looking into them. When you looked at his arms, you instantly wanted to have them around you. And his lips were full and so kissable.I shook the thought of kissing Pete because if I didn’t I probably would have jumped across the table with no turning back.
After I was finished eating Patrick stood up and took my plate to the sink. I looked at Pete and smiled, trying my hardest to keep the thought of Gerard in my head.
“Pete can I use your phone to call Gee?” I asked him still smiling. I was excited to talk to Gerard.
“Sure...” He said with a hesitant, hurt, smile. I felt so damn bad but what was I supposed to do? Drop Gee and run to Pete who beat the shit out of me yesterday? It was going to take a little while to warm up to Pete and he needed to understand that.
I took his phone and punched in Gee’s number. I squealed when I heard the phone ring for the first time.
“Hello?” I heard Gerard say. What was that in his voice? Was he crying?
“Hey.” I said with a smile, even though he couldn’t see it I knew he would sense it.
“Frank? Is that you? Babe I’m so worried! Where the hell are you I’m coming to get you.” I could hear the jingle of his keys as he stated that he was coming to get me.I managed a giggle and began to explain.
“I’m with Pete… You know, the one Kellin was dating. Well I’ll go into more detail when you get here to pick me up. Here’s Pete he’ll give you directions or the address or whatever.” I said handing the phone to Pete. I got up and squealed one more time. I ran over to Patrick giving him a quick hug and asking him if my clothes were washed yet.
“Give me five minutes and they’ll be done. Do you want to get one more shower before you leave?” Patrick asked quickly.
“Sure! I’ll be out in time for Gee to get here. Oh! When you bring up my clothes, leave them in your room and then look on your desk. I left you something.” I said to Patrick with a giggle and ran up the stairs and into the bathroom.
