And You Don't Know A Thing About This Life

Gerard's POV

It broke my heart to see Frank like this, and I wanted to be with him for as long as I live. His wounds, I knew they couldn't have been by accident. I asked him if I could see his bruise again.

"F-frank, sweetie, can I see it?" I croaked, and he rolled up his shirt. I saw the black wound, intimidating and severe, once more. It had dry blood at a crisp on his skin, dark and maroon. Frank looked away and hid his face. He couldn't have done this to himself, unless he did?

When I called up his mother, she was calm and happy and it didn't seem like someone was harming her son. I couldn't imagine Frank physically hurting himself...oh fuck.

As a matter of fact, I could imagine that. I thought about Frank taking his fist and pounding it against himself in anger or sadness. No, I had to get this out of my mind.

Frank blushed and rolled his shirt down and tore away from my hug. "Why are you staring?"

"Look, pumpkin, I'm staring because you're beautiful."

"You already told me that," he laughed.

I took out my cd player, and played the album O. I skipped to the third track, my favorite song on the album. "Mind if I sing, sweetie?"

He curled unto the bed with a smile. " I'd love that actually." I started to sing, altering the lyrics just a tad.

"And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in his sky

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new..."

I checked the time, which goes by fast. It was nine o clock. I kissed Frank's forehead, which at the time, wasn't weird but the right thing to do.

"Sweet dreams, my angel," I whispered.

"Good night."
