It Started With An Alright Scene

Gerard's Pov
After cuddling Frank for about an hour, I decided I was hungry as hell, So we got up and went hand in hand to the kitchen. I sat down on the counter while Frank dug through the fridge. In the midst of it all, Salem walked in and stopped. She turned around when she saw me and was about to leave. I hopped off the counter and ran over to her. I grabbed her shoulder and turned her around. Her eyes widened when they met mine. I looked down at her neck and saw that she had three big hickeys. I raised an eyebrow. "Ooh Salem... who is he???" She looked panicked and looked over at Frank as if asking for help. I was completely fuckin confused. "Salem, are you okay? You've been really quiet lately and now you've come home with hickeys. Is there something you want to tell us?" I asked her. She shook her head no and was about to leave. "Salem, please tell me?" Her eyes met mine and she whispered "It was Bob." Now I knew something was up, because she hadn't 'talked' to Bob in a long time. "Salem.. tell me the truth right now." I told her, becoming serious. I looked over at Frank and he looked...scared. "What the hell is going on, here? Why isn't anyone telling me anything?!" I yelled and they both looked terrified. "It was just some guy I hooked up with at a bar, Gerard. It was nothing." She said then left before I could stop her. I could hear her sobbing loudly in her room. I looked at Frank with a sad smile. "I hope she's alright." Frank gave me a nervous look. "She's probably just on her period or something." I laughed at him then grabbed the food he laid out on the counter. We walked back to our room and laid down on the bed and ate the food. We ate all of it until it was gone, then fell asleep again.

When I woke up, the room was dark, so it must be night time. I felt Frank's arm around me. I removed it and stood up. I tiptoed out of the room and walked into the hallway, quietly closing the door. I walked to the kitchen and turned on the light. The clock on the oven said it was 3 am. I went to the fridge and got a bottle of water out of it. When I closed the fridge, I noticed there was a note on it. I pulled it off the fridge and read it.

'Dear Frank and Gerard,
You guys are my best friends.

Gerard,
you didn't call me crazy when we met. You didn't laugh at me and tell me Bob isn't there. I know now that he isn't. He is just someone that I made up, hoping he could protect me from my worst fears. I've realized that he isn't the one that's been protecting me... it's you. You helped me and took care of me when I needed it the most, and I took it for granted.

I slept with Frank when he didn't remember us. I slept with him while you were at home, crying, because you thought he didn't love you. I was a completely shitty friend, and I need to be punished. You were the nicest person in the world to me, and I stabbed you in the back. I am so sorry, and I don't trust that you'll ever forgive me.. and you wont need to.

Frank,
When I speak to you nowadays, I'm at a loss for words. I used you when you were most vulnerable. I slept with you when you didn't have a single clue that you were gay and in love with Gerard. I have been the most horrible human being and I can't forgive myself for doing that to you, Frank. I could have ruined your life.

I also want to thank you. You were my friend when no one else was.You showed me that it's okay to be happy.You showed me that I don't have to try and hide my mental illness. I am who I am, and you made sure I knew that.

I don't want you guys to forgive me. I know what I've done, and I know that it's bad...horrible even. I can't live with myself knowing that I am going to ruin things between you two. I think it's because I was jealous. You two have something that i'll never have. You have true love.

The guilt is practically killing me. It hurts so damn much. I can't live with it. I love you both with my whole heart. I will miss you two so fucking much.

XOXOXOX Salem'

I dropped the note and ran as fast as I could to Salem's room. The door was locked. I tried to throw myself against it, but it wouldn't work. I ran to my room and turned on the light. I shook Frank, and he woke up. He saw that I was sobbing and sat up quickly. "Frank.... I c-cant get S-Salem's door open... please help me!" He looked scared, then jumped off the bed and ran out the door. I followed him. He ran to Salem's door and kicked it open. I ran in and turned on the light. I saw Salem laying in her bed with the covers over her. I threw them back and rolled her over. She had blood coming from two huge gashes in both of her wrists. I screamed and fell to my knees, sobbing. Frank ran over to Salem and felt her pulse. I looked up at him with hopeful eyes. "no pulse." He whispered and I felt all of the breath leave my lungs.
