It Started With An Alright Scene

Frank's Pov
As soon as I was off the phone with Gerard, I grabbed my stuff and clocked out. I took off running to my car and drove as fast as I could to the mall, where Gee said they were.

When I got there, There was a huge crowd in the middle of the food court. I ran over to it and saw Gerard curled into a fetal position crying. Salem was trying to comfort him. I heard the people laughing and someone called him a fag. I turned and looked at the guy and he bent over and slapped Salem's butt while she was bent over. I went forward and punched him right in the jaw. Everyone else stopped talking. "YOU THINK THIS IS SOME KIND OF SHOW, ASSHOLES? GET THE HELL AWAY!!" I yelled at them and they quickly scurried away. I leaned down and picked Gerard up bridal style. I carried him to my car and put him in the passenger side, then closed the door. I looked at Salem. "What happened?" I asked her. "We were walking and Gerard saw his parents, and they came up to him and started to say a bunch of shit to him. They told him he should have stayed dead and that they disowned him because they didn't want a flaming homo for a son, but don't worry, I cussed them out." It hurt so bad to hear all of the mean things someone said to the one person I love on this Earth. I thanked Salem and got back in my car. I looked over at Gerard and his tears were coming down silently, and he was looking out the window. "Gerard, are you alright?" H shrugged his shoulders. "I just forgot how much it hurts" I looked at him with sad eyes, but he ust kept looking out the window. "How much what hurts, baby?" He wiped his eyes with the back of his sleeve. "Not being loved." I grabbed his hand. "Gerard, you don't ever think for one single second that you are unloved. I love you so much it fucking hurts. Look, I was gonna wait till later, but I think now is a good time." He finally looked at me with red, puffy eyes. "Will you marry me?" I asked him. The corners of his mouth slowly pulled up into a smile and he nodded his head. "Of course, Frankie." I pulled him into a bone crushing hug. After a few minutes, I pulled away and put my forehead to his. "I mean it, Gee. I love you so so so much. Your my everything. If I ever lose you again... I don't know what i'd do."


After we got back home, Salem was there and we told her about out engagement. "We have to celebrate!" Gerard yelled. "I'll go get some wine" he said then headed off to the kitchen. I was waiting for him to get back when I heard a knock at the door. I got up and went to answer it. I opened it and saw the guy that I punched at the mall earlier. "What the fuck do you want?" I asked him, confused as to why he was at my house. "Do you really not remember me, Frank?" He asked me. I took a step back. "It's me... Jack." I just about shit my pants when he said that. He was bigger. Had more muscle, a bit of a beard, and he was taller, too. "What do you want, Jack?" I asked him. "I want you and Gerard dead. They put me in jail after the whole damn court case, that's four damn years i'll never get back. I'm not going to stop until both of you are gone. I will get you both. I'll make Gerard kill his pathetic self right before your eyes. You'll watch him jump from the chair and hang from the noose. You will watch him take his last breaths and there won't be a damn thing you'll be able to do about it." I heard a crash behind me and turned to see Gerard staring wide-eyed at Jack. I looked down and saw a smashed wine bottle on the floor. I heard a gun cock and I looked at Jack. I pushed his arms away just as he pulled the trigger. I pulled the gun from his hands and slid it across the floor, then punched him in the face. He went right down and didn't get back up. I turned to make sure Gerard was okay. He looked like he was in a trance, just staring into my eyes. I was confused as to why he was acting like this.... but then I felt the pain.
