Living in the Light
What a waste of a perfectly good clean wrist.
I was so bruised up with marks all over me. That guy who came in here and attacked me looked some what familiar. Like Ive seen him somewhere else I dont know where but somewhere. Whatever just try to focus on the moment right now. Okay lets see well Im in Gerard's chrome mustang with Gerard. Our destination is Patrick's hotel; Pete and Ray are gonna be there. Right I have to be excited to see Ray cause we haven't talked in a long time. I got so lost in my train of thought that we have already arrived at the hotel and Gerard was opening my door for me. Such a gentlemen.
“You okay sugar? You seem a bit out of it right now.” Gerard said grabbing my hand and giving it a bit of a squeeze.
“Yeah Im fine I was just thinking.”
He got the door for me as well. We walked in the lobby and saw Pete and Patrick sitting down talking. Every vampires eyes were set on me and Gerard as we walked over to Pete and Patrick. We were both greeted with really tight hugs. I swear if Pete hugged me any tighter my eyeballs would have popped out of my head. We all sat around in the lobby talking and waiting for Ray to hurry up and get here. I felt Gerard's cold hand rest on mine and I turned my head to look over at him; his eyes were golden yellow colored flickering with some red splatter. He had a worried, protective face on as if he felt someone or something bad was going to happen.
“Are you okay Gee?” I whispered over to him.
“Yeah Im fine. I just want you to be safe. I dont care what those other people think. Your my mate.” With that he pulled me into his lap wrapping his arms around my waist.
“Hey guys were gonna go for a smoke really quick and call Ray cause he is taking way to damn long.” Patrick handed Gerard a hotel key, Im guess for their room. “If you guys want you can go to our room if you feel uncomfortable. Dont worry we have another key.”
The both of them left and headed out front of the hotel. I just winked over at Gerard who was smirking at me. He must be having the same thought as me.....Sex.
“Come on Frankie.” He leaped up and grabbed my hand and we ran to the elevator.
“What are you thinking Gee?” I say smirking at him in the elevator.
He just leaned down and kissed me. We arrive to Pete and Patricks floor and started making our way to their room. My hand in Gerards as we walked to their hotel suite. All of a sudden we both hear mad laughter coming from down the hall. I know I was scared so I picked up the pace and Gerard was really calm for some reason. Then we heard it again and this time Gerard came to a full. Complete. Stop. He looked over to me with his eyes wide than looked behind us. No one was there. Now I was really freaking out. My hands were getting shaky and we started speed walking to the suite. Gerard peeked over his shoulder again and he jumped a bit. This time he picked me up and started running to the suite making a few turns and we finally got there. He fumbled a bit with the key to open the door. We both quickly got inside turned the lights on shutting and double locking the door behind us.
“What the fuck was that?!!”
“I have no fucking idea Frank.”
As we were catching our breathe we took in our surrondings and it was beautiful. I have never seen a hotel suite look like this. It had giant cream colored pillars with red decorations on it, the walls were a bright red, as you walked further into the room they had a full kitchen and everything was cream and black. The living room was really nice with a flat screen and they even had a balcony looking over the swimming pool. It was pretty.
“Come here Frankie.” Gerard said patting the seat next to him on the sofa.
Before I sat next to him I grabbed the remote to turn the tv on. I was snuggled up in to Gerard's chest while I was flipping through the channels. There wasnt anything good to watch on the tv. Like you have a nice big suite but they give you horrible channels on the tv.
“What did you see back there Gee?”
“I honestly dont know what the hell it was but it kept following us with its laughter.”
I grabbed his hand for comfort and started rubbing the back of his hand with my thumb. The door to the room started to open and we heard people talking Im guessing that it was Pete, Patrick, and Ray coming in.
“Well its about time you guys got here.” Gerard said to them.
“Sorry for the hold up. I had to run some errands before I got here.” Ray said as he was making his way to a chair next to the couch.
“Hey Ray.” I waved to him.
“Frankie! Whats up?”
“Nothing.”
Pete and Patrick came and sat right next to us on the couch. After a bit of talking we order some pizza from the room service people. We heard a knock at the door and Pete went to get it. He came back with a giant box of delicious smelling pizza. I was so hungry I immediately ran over to him and grabbed a slice of the cheese pizza. Stuffing my face with the pizza and getting grease all over my cheeks. Gerard started to laugh a bit and kissed my greasy cheek.
“Aww! You guys are to cute!” Patrick said grabbing onto Pete's arm.
I couldn't help but blush at that. Ray look kinda jealous but he really shouldnt be.
“Hey where is the bathroom?” I asked gesturing to my hands that are now slippery with grease.
“Its over there.” Pete pointed to a door next to their bedroom.
When I got to the bathroom I started turning on the water and washed my hands with the little bar of soap that they had. I heard a faint knock on the door. “Come in.” It was Ray.
“Uhh..Hey Frank. Could I talk to you for a second?” He seemed a bit nervous. I wonder why?”
“Yeah sure. Whats up?”
“Well...I know I was supposed to tell you this a while back. And if I dont tell you now Gerard will get really pissed with me.” What is he talking about? “If I ever hurt you I want you to know that its not my fault okay?”
“What the fuck are you talking about Toro?” This time I was more serious then ever.
“When I was a kid...After coming from your house one day...I decided to take a short cut home..and you know that going through the forest is the fastest way to get to my house before dark.” I nodded my head understanding what he meant. But hurry up and get to the point already. “ Well when I was walking...I got attacked..by this thing...Whatever it was it bit me on my neck my left shoulder and my wrist...” He started showing my the scars that were left behind on him. “After that I guess I blacked out...cause I ended up at Gerard's house...He helped with the new wounds that I had gotten...He also kept explaining to me about how life was dangerous for me now....Then Bob came in and examined me over and said that I was gonna start changing and mutate into a...a....a werewolf.”
I was in shock now. My jaw dropped open and I started backing up against the wall a bit. I didn’t want to scare Ray and hopefully I didn’t. My head was now swarming with questions that needed answers to them. Why didn’t he tell me this? He could have told me about this! Was he trying to keep me safe or something?
“Frank. Please dont freak. Calm down. I know that you probably have a lot of questions.”
Okay. Okay. Calm down Frank. Pull it together and just ask Ray what it is.
“Why didn’t you tell me? How is this possible!? You were a human!”
“I know Im sorry. But Gerard and Bob said to not tell you when we were kids. So I just waited for the best time to tell you but then all this werewolf stuff kept happening. Thats why I didn’t hang out with you as much. And I have know idea your gonna have to ask Bob or Gerard about that.”
“Alright. Lets just be calm for now and dont worry about it.”
We walked out of the bathroom and back into the kitchen were everyone else were still eating pizza and laughing. Ray walked a bit more ahead of me and whispered something into Gerard's ear. My guess is that Ray was telling him that I know about his little 'problem'. Gerard got out of his seat and walked my way and pulled me into an unexpected hug.
“Are you okay? Ray told me that he finally told you.” He whispered into my ear.
“Yeah Im fine. Just a bit in shock. I think I need to change the gauze its bleeding through and I dont want you guys to go crazy.”
We walked back to the bathroom and Gerard took of the old blood gauze and started staring at my wounds for a second then back at me. He shook a bit and put the gauze on me carefully. He must be hungry for blood. After that he stood there like he was about to freak out. He still had some blood on his hands. I grabbed them and turned the facet on washing his hands for him gently. God he needs to control this.
Notes
THE SECRETS OUT RAY!!! Fucking Finally. I dont understand. Why would you keep that from Frank he is one of your closest friends!? I think I would freak out to if I heard mad laughter in the same hallway as me.
