The Light Behind Your Eyes

I slept like a baby that night for the first time in months. I was beginning to feel like my normal self again. I woke a little earlier out of sheer excitement about getting to see Frank in school today. I got ready, tied my hair back in a high pony tail and wore my vintage levi shorts, plain loose fitting, teal t-shirt, aztec printed toms with cute ankle socks. I was feeling strangely confident today.
When I got into school I filled Lana in on my date. She was happy for me but still had her reservations, it was nice that she was concerned for me but kind of annoying that she was pissing all over my parade. She doesn't know Frank the way I do, she's never seen his sweet, charming side, and really it's not fair for her to judge him when she doesn't even know him.

When I got to chemistry Frank was sitting upright staring at the door, I could tell he was waiting for me. When I entered and looked at him a cheesy grin covered both of our faces.
"Hey Izzy! How are you?!"
"I'm great, how are you?"
"Yeah i'm pretty damn good too, look I-"
"I jus-" we both spoke over each other awkwardly
"Sorry, you go first." Frank said politely
"Oh, I uh, well I...just wanted to th-thank you, I uh..had a really great time last night."
"Really??"
"Yeah!"
"Me too." Then he placed his hand over mine, as if I couldn't go any redder!
"Honestly Iz, I can't remember the last time I had such a good time." He said shyly
"Me neither"
When class finished we walked to lunch.
"So, um...do you maybe wanna go out again some time?" Frank asked politely
"I'd love to!"
"Cool, see you at the end of lunch for a fag?"
"Yeah see ya then!" and we parted ways.

I spent lunch just gossiping and filling everyone in on our date. Then Frank approached the table and tapped me on the shoulder.
"So are you ready to go?"
"Yeah, see ya later guys!"
Bob was really relaxed around me now, too relaxed if you ask me because he kept making little jokes about Frank and I and how we were a cute couple making things awfully awkward, but it never seemed to stay awkward for long. The rest of the week continued the same. Frank and I arranged a date for Friday night, we went to see wolf of wall street, the new Martin scorcese film. It was amazing. After the movie we sat in Franks car talking and making out. The kissing was getting really passionate, I was waiting for him to rip my top off or go down my trousers and to be honest I definitely would have let him. But much to my dismay, he didn't try anything, he stayed the perfect gentleman. He also asked me to go and see his band play on saturday night. I said i'd go if my friends came with me. My friends being the amazing people they are said yes so we all got ready in mine, had a few drinks and went to see Frank's band. They were absolutely amazing! Every member put their all into that performance and they're songs are great. The lead singer has this way of making you really feel the music. When they were finished playing Frank came straight to me lifting me up, swinging me around and kissing me. He was so sweaty from performing but I didn't care, I found it really sexy!

I introduced the gang to Frank and we hung out drinking, dancing and laughing, it felt good having them all get along. Frank and I went out for a cigarette and his band were already there.
"You ready to meet the band?" He asked wrapping his arms around my waist
"Sure!" I was already pretty drunk so I was feeling confident
"Hey guys!"
"Frankieee! Heyy is this the infamous Izzy?" the bassist asked
"The one and only" I replied sassily while shaking my finger
"Wow dude you didn't tell us she was so sassy!"
"Yeah now Gerard has competition, you guys should have a sass-off!"
I really enjoyed hanging out with Franks friends. They were all so nice, funny and so welcoming, they made me feel so comfortable and they genuinely seemed interested in me. After about an hour I started to feel guilty about ditching my friends, I was worried they may have left.
"Well, it was great meeting you all, but I should really get back to the others" I said and turned to kiss Frank goodbye while his friends wolf whistled.
"I'll come with you!"
"No you don't have to! Stay and party with your friends!" Frank looked at his friends then looked back at me, I could tell he was having the same moral dilemma.
"Are you kidding? we've been partying with this dude for years, we're sick of him, you take him for a while!" Gerard joked
"Do you mind if I join you and your friends?" Frank asked me pouting his lips. he was so cute.
"Of course not, Thanks guys!" I replied

We went back to find my friends really drunk and dancing like lunatics, not giving a fuck in the middle of the dancefloor. I watched them for a minute just appreciate my friends.
"Everything alright?" Franks asked
"Look at them, aren't they amazing?"
We ran up to my friends and joined them, they welcomed us with open arms, I was so grateful at how understanding they were. A few songs later I noticed Lana pull Frank off to the side. Oh God. But after talking for a few minutes they hugged and came back, Lana nodded in approval and Frank threw his arms around me and kissed my neck.
"What was that all about?" I asked curiously
"Lana was just playin her part as the protective best friend. Don't worry."
"Oh God, I'll kill her!" I laughed
"Nah it's nice to see how much she cares about you! You're lucky to have such amazing friends!"
"I don't know what i'd do without them!"
"You know i'll never hurt you right?"
"Of course, and i'll never hurt you either."
"So, do you wanna be like official now?"
"Thought you'd never ask!" I replied and we kissed.

Franks POV
Things were going amazingly with Izzy, I was really falling for her hard. I've never felt this way before, no ones ever even come close to making me feel like this, Izzy brings out the best in me. She makes me want to be a better person every single day. She's the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing I think about when I go to sleep, and I just think of her and see her face every minute in between. I savor every minute I spend with her, terrified that she's gonna come to her senses soon and realise that she's too good for me. It sounds crazy but I actually think i'm falling in love with her.

She agreed to come see MCR play tonight, I was so excited but it made me nervous, what if she didn't like us? Once we got on stage, I scanned the room and sure enough she was there, first row, she waved and gave me the thumbs up. She was so fucking cute! We played our hardest as always but for some reason I felt like I was playing with extra heart and soul that i'd never had before and I honestly think it's cause Izzy was there - she's my extra heart and soul. When we were finished playing I jumped off stage and grabbed her, I probably should've cleaned myself up first considering I was sweaty and disgusting but I just couldn't wait to have her in my arms!

She officially introduced me to her friends, they're all really cool people. It was a little awkward when her friend Lana had the 'talk; with me about treating her right but I assured her that I adored Izzy and would never intentionally hurt her. I thought it was sweet seeing how much she cared. Izzy came and hung out with me and the guys for a while too, they all seem to love her. They've never approved of any of my previous girlfriends before which just shows how amazing she really is. But the real highlight of my night was when Izzy agreed to be my girlfriend. I feel like the luckiest son of a bitch alive right now!

The next week in school I would wait for Izzy in the parking lot in the morning and walk her to class with my arm around her. It felt amazing waltzing around school with her on my arm. Bob and I started sitting with Izzy and her friends at lunch. They were so welcoming, i've never seen Bob loosen up so quickly around strangers before. On Thursday I was getting shit out of locker when Jess came up to me
"Hey baby, why have you been ignoring my texts?"
"Because i'm not your 'baby' anymore. C'mon Jess we're over"
"You know we're never over Frankie"
"We are now, the sooner you accept that the better."
"Does this have anything to do with that new girl?"
"Bye Jess." and with that I shut my locker and left.
While I was walking away it hit me that I was definitely 100% over Jess, I was starting to think I never really liked her in the first place because I didn't ever even feel half the way about her the way I feel about Izzy right now.
