SOMEONE Save Us

I quickly tilted the half finished portrait away from Mom and Gerard. I studied all the little details that were spot on, as my mind raced to find an answer to my one and only question.
Why?
I jumped out of my skin when I felt Gerard standing over my right shoulder. He was silent and it was hard to tell what he was feeling or thinking. He just had a completely blank expression. It was becoming a little awkward and nerve racking.
After what seemed like a whole 10 minutes of him just staring, he fake coughed and tried to walk away to the window sill. I rolled with it for all of 5 seconds before calling Gerard again.

"Gerard?"

"Yes Frank?"

"Is, uh, this me?" I pointed to the portrait.

"Uh, yeah, you could say that." He looked down at his feet almost shamefully.

"Oh. Well, it's amazing. I really like how you somehow managed to make my cursed face actually look humanly good!" I smiled.

"Frank! Don't say that, you can't seriously believe that. Do you not own a mirror? Should I go down to the gift shop and buy you one?" He looked up at me in pure shock.

"Gerard please! I obviously don't look anything like anyone else and nobody even knows that I'm alive or even that I was born on earth! I've gone along for almost 18 years just accepting the fact that I will never be nor have I ever been remotely good or human looking. I'm just an alien that hides behind closed doors and wait to eventually pass on in silence all by myself!" I felt a huge rush of truth just wash over me in that moment. Then I felt extremely and uncomfortably vulnerable to everything. The room was silent.

"Frank...I know you feel like you don't look like anyone and that nobody even acknowledges your existence...but that's all it is...a feeling." He walked over to me and sat down in front of me ( we were still at an eye to eye level,which made me feel kind of worse)."I personally think that you DO look normal and that, while not everyone will be up with you everyday, there are quite a few that do notice and care...about you!"

"Like who? If you can name 6 people I'll be content and change my opinion!" I challenged.

"Okay well, there is your mom, myself--"

"No, I mean like non-family people." I interjected.

"Okay! So there is, Mikey, myself, Dalton, Megan, Ben and James. Oh! and Lindsey from Art class."

"Gerard, Megan doesn't count." I gave him a pleading look.

He smiled, but it quickly faded back to a straight face. I looked up at Gerard and smiled. "But...thank you for making me feel better. I really am content and I guess I'll change my opinion!"

*Groan and mumble* "Mugh, you guys are so good for each other that you don't even realize how much you guys...never mind." Mikey had both relieved and startled Gee and I. Wait, what did he mean by...and the never mind? I'm so confused.

Gerard jumped up and ran over to Mikey's side. As did I.
Mikey smiled and groaned as Gerard and I unthinkingly put pressure on his chest and shoulders. We leaned off when we realized. Gerard and I looked up at each other and for some reason I got this really weird feeling. I don't know why or how or even if it's real but, I think I might be falling for Gerard. And I think he's already fallen for me!
