The Light Behind Your Eyes

Since the charity benefit, my relationship with my dad is basically back to the way it used to be and I owe it all to Frank. My dad and I hang out all the time and I feel like I can just go into his study now and ask him about his day and vice versa. My dad and Frank get on really well too, he made sure to invite Frank round for dinner to formally thank him and they bonded over music and their joy of poking fun at me. It's sweet seeing my two favourite guys getting along so well. Frank's mom and I get along really well too, she's totally cool with me staying over and when Frank goes off to band practice sometimes I just chill in the house with her helping with dinner or watching tv. She's such a nice, warm, understanding woman. I know she feels sorry for me about my mom and maybe that's why she invited me to go shopping with her but honestly we had a blast. She said she needed a girls help with getting a new outfit for the Staff Christmas party, we grabbed lunch too and just talked. I felt so relaxed around her, she seems more like a friend than my boyfriend's mom. She told me that she always wanted a girl too and now i'm like the daughter she never had, it made me feel kinda lucky because I had a spectacular mother and I losing her was horrific but now I have Joan and Linda and they're pretty damn amazing.

I had an incredible Christmas break, it was my first Christmas without my mom so even though it was difficult to say the least, it was still good because I had Frank, my friends and my dad with me every step of the way. I've never felt so much love and support, it was perfect. Frank's mom had to work on Christmas day so my dad said they could spend it with us. Frank stayed over on Christmas eve and on Christmas day when his mom was finished work she joined us for dinner. I could have sworn Linda took a liking to my dad but I know he's no where near ready to even look at another woman in that way, maybe someday though.

For Christmas I surprised Frank with a trip into New York for a few days just before New Years and he got me a gorgeous vintage pocket watch necklace that was engraved with the words 'I will adore you till eternity' which is lyrics from be my baby - the Ronnettes, our song. We went sight seeing in New York, went to see American Idiot and the Lion King on broadway and had a lot of hotel sex which has been the best sex so far! We came back on New Year's Eve for Mikey and Gerard's annual NYE house party. We all got totally smashed and partied till about 6 in the morning. At 12 I got to kiss the love of my life and looked around to see I was surrounded by the people I love the most - my friends. I feel bad for Gerard though, him and Lyn-z had a major argument, i'm still not entirely sure what over, I don't even think they know to be honest, they fight quite a lot and they've broken up a few times but always get back together. Bob and Gee are the two of Frank's friends that i'm probably closest to, since Gerard's recent split he's been hanging with Frank and I a lot more, poor guy he seems pretty upset about it all.

I was just chilling in my house editing some pictures of MCR that I took at their last concert when I got a text from gee.
'Hey what are you up to?"
'Nothing, just editing the pics from the other night, what's up?'
'Nothing really, do you mind if I stop by and see them?'
'Of course not, come on round whenever.'
'Cool, see you in 5'
Literally 10 minutes later Gerard was at my house, when I went to the door I noticed his hair was greasy and messy and he looked really tired. I greeted him and took him up to my room to show him the pictures.
"These are sick Iz, you're really talented!"
"Thanks Gee...can I ask you something?"
"Shoot"
"What's the real reason why your here?" I asked sensitively and he sighed
"I'm just really down at the minute and I just kinda wanted to see you, you're great and you always know what to say you know? You're just really easy to talk to and it's refreshing to be around a girl instead of the guys all the time."
"Is this about Lyn-z by any chance?"
"Well...yeah. I'm just so confused...I love her but I just don't like her anymore, we're over and I miss her but i'm relieved at the same time. I know that I don't wanna be with her anymore which is why we broke up but I just miss her sometimes. I keep thinking I want to take her back but I know it's pointless cause we're just gonna break up again. My feelings just keep contradicting each other and I just feel like my brains gonna explode you know?"
"Yeah, I get it. Look you guys were dating what? nearly a year? You obviously still care for her and that's normal, I mean you only broke up a week ago you can't expect your feelings to just disappear. Just take it day by day."
"So...you don't think I should take her back?"
"Honestly Gee, I love you so I just want what's best for you. Think of it this way. is it worth it to have another few weeks or months back with her and be relatively happy and deal with a broken heart later or deal with it now so that in a few weeks or months you'll be healed and ready to meet someone who is more suited for you? I'll support whatever decision you make and i'll be here no matter what and you obviously don't have to make the decision right away, just take your time." I said while rubbing his back
"Wow, your good."
"Why thank you, thank you very much" I said impersonating Elvis
"Ugh my head just feels totally fried can we just do something fun?"
"Sure! I have an idea!" I said looking at him mischeviously
"I don't like the way your looking at me..." I grabbed him by the wrist and dragged him to my car. We went to wallmart and bought a ton of junk food and then went to the Hair section
"So a classic move when breaking up with someone is eating shit, watching shit but more importantly...re-inventing yourself! It just boosts your self-esteem, that's why girls always dye their hair after a break up so choose a colour!"
"You're crazy"
"I may be crazy...but i'm right."
"Uh...I don't know, you choose for me."
"You trust me?" I asked arching my eyebrow
"Entirely"
"Cherry bomb it is!"
We went back to my house and I dyed Gerard's hair while we had a Saw marathon.
"Ohmygod Gee!! You look amazing!!" I said excitedly when I finished drying his hair, I dragged him to the mirror so he could see
"Fuck me!"
"Do you like it?"
"I love it! Thanks Iz" He said pulling me into a hug
"Phew! I was terrified it was gonna turn out all wrong!" I said
"I never doubted you for a second!" He said while still checking himself out in the mirror.
It was around 8pm and Gerard and I were on the 3rd saw when Frank randomly stopped by. I loved when he'd just show up for surprise visits.
"Hey baby! C'mon in! You're just in time, Gee and I literally just started Saw 3 " I said while hugging him and pecking him on the lips.
"Gee's here?" He asked
"Yeah, he's having a little dilemma about Lyn-z and I'm taking his mind off it so whatever you do don't mention her unless he brings it up"
"I fucking love you" He said suddenly
"Hahah where did that come from?" I asked
"You're just amazing to me and my friends."
"Well, I like to think of them as my friends now too" I said and then I led him into the living room
"Jesus!" Frank said when he seen Gerards flaming hair
"Oh hey man!" Gee said, he seemed a little nervous
"Izzy and I were jus-"
"Your hair! It's SICK!" Frank said cutting him off
"You like it?"
"Yeah it's so hardcore man!"
"You can thank your girlfriend for that" Gee said ushering to me. Then Frank pulled me close to him and kissed my cheek
"She's amazing isn't she" Frank said
"Yeah...she really is something..." Gee said
"Okay guys lets get back to this movie!" I said while pulling Frank to the sofa. I sat in between him and Gee, Frank had his arm around me while Gee sat up straight, he suddenly seemed a little tense. I hope the fact that me and Frank are being kinda couply isn't making him uncomfortable or upset about Lyn-z.
