Just One More Bite

Like that, I hear a scream from inside the restroom. I rush to the door, and see that it is slightly open. Terrified, I peek inside. Frank was slouching with his elbows at the sink, his hair covering his whole face. One hand had seemed to rest on his cheek, and he started to speak.

"No, please," he choked within tears. "I-it can't b-be..."

Something I hadn't noticed was the mirror, which was shattered by the means of his fist. I started to open the door. "Frankie, are you doing okay?"

He was startled, but smiled nervously. "Positive."

I wrapped my arms around his neck and looked down to his knuckles which oozed with blood. How could Frank do such a thing to his reflection?

"Hun," I began. "Everything's going to be all right. I promise."

Frank sighed and hugged me back. It wasn't a sigh of relief though. It was a different kind of sigh. It was the sigh of defeat, and by then I knew he wasn't going to tell the truth.

"Sorry, Gee," he apologized. " I'm overreacting, really. You're the one who has life difficult. I shouldn't complain. I'm sorry."

"Look, I may not know what's going on in your life, but I'm going to get you through it."

Frank turned away. "Y-you have a future and I'm ruining it. I think I should go back to where I belong."

"You belong here, with me."

He unwrapped his arms from me and bit his lip. "No, Gerard I don't. We both know that's not true."

"Come on Frankie," I cooed. "Stop the crying, helpless feeling..."

He smiled.

I continued. "Dry your eyes and start believing. There's one thing," I pointed to his chest, just where his heart was.

"They'll never take from you."

And with such poetry, something clicked. Someway, somehow. And like that, we kissed.
