Frerard is Real

Gerard laid in bed, staring up at the ceiling. Selfish. He thought to himself. Selfish. Was he selfish? Was leaving Bandit and Lindsey being selfish? But...he would come out, and Lindsey said it was okay if he did...but she could have been lying...he doesn't want to stay in hiding forever...but he couldn't leave Bandit and Lindsey...he wouldn't be leaving them because he would still be close but...he would be with Frank-Gerard groaned aloud as he stuffed his pillow into his face. He liked the dark. It calmed him in a weird way.
"You okay?"
Gerard kept the pillow over his head, "No." He muffled into the pillow.
Frank walked in with Gerard's late coffee, "Well, do you want to talk about it?"
Gerard threw the pillow to his side, "No, not really. I'm not in the mood to get depressed." Even if he already was.
Frank handed him his coffee, "I know what will cheer you up." He smiled, "You want to go on Omegle video chat and see some fans? It'll be fun."
"Omegle? I don't know..."
Frank ignored Gerard's comment as he pulled out his laptop from the side of the bed, "I'll log in and put as in interest, 'My Chemical Romance'" He smiled.
Gerard drank from his coffee as he watched Frank click on Google Chrome. Once Frank was on Omegle, he typed in My Chemical Romance as an interest. They waited for a few brief seconds before it loaded a 'stranger'. A teenager was staring blankly until abruptly screamed, "Ohmygod! Ohmygod!" In surprise.
Gerard couldn't help but to smile. He waved with his free hand, "Hi!"
The young teen screamed in joy before wiping her eyes. She suddenly became calm, "You guys saved me..."
Gerard gave a faint smile, "Look alive, sun shine."
She covered her mouth as her tears streamed down her face, "I love you..."
Gerard blew a kiss, "And I love you, Killjoy!"
She laughed as tears streamed down. She blew a kiss back before smiling, "I ship you guys."
Frank laughed, "Who doesn't?"
She chuckled before waving her hands hysterically, "Hold on! I'm going to get my camera! Please wait."
Frank smiled, "We're not going anywhere, I promise."
She wiped her eyes before reaching over to her drawer, pulling out a Sony camera. She pointed the camera towards Gerard and Frank, "Say cheese!" She smiled.
Frank did the once famous duck face as Gerard held up his mug, smiling. She took the picture and after, put the camera beside her, "Thank you."
"It was just a picture, no problem." Gerard smiled.
"No," She looked down, her eyes not meeting his, "Thank you."
Gerard's smile faded a little, "Thank you."
"For?"
"For staying strong. I'm proud of you."
Frank loved that about Gerard. Gerard knew when someone was in pain, and Gerard knew how to make them smile.
The teen began to cry again, "Ohmygod, today is the best day ever."
Frank smiled, "The future is bulletproof."
"The aftermath is secondary." She smiled, "It's time to do it now and do it loud."
Gerard finished, "Killjoys, make some noise."
Frank smiled at the teen who was wiping her eyes. He sighed, "Do you mind if we move on? We're trying to meet other fans as well-I'm not trying to be rude."
She shook her head hysterically, "No, no, no, go ahead."
Frank replied, "We love you."
"I love you guys." She smiled.

Patrick arrived home. His had scatter his hand-written files on the table, reading through them. He read through Jack and Alex's first. He couldn't really do much for them. He needed Alex to steal Jack's heart back then prevent another break up. He placed the file in a far reach before grabbing Gerard's and Frank's. Gerard said everything was fine... he thought, but why don't I believe him? He placed the file on top of Jalex's file. He grabbed Jaime's and Vic's-but set it back down. They're okay, I know for a fact. He thought. He grabbed Austin's and Alan's file, I'm pretty sure Austin is improving-I can't be certain yet. He placed the file on the other pile besides Vic and Jaime's.
He sighed.
"Honey," Elisa, Patrick's wife, peered over his shoulder to the files, "Working late?"
Patrick shrugged, "Kind of. I still have three couples who are still struggling-I mean, Gerard says everything is fine, but I don't believe him. It's a Stump thing, you know?" He placed the files back into his shoulder bag, "I need to get these couples relationships on smooth sailing you know?" He joked, "Shipping."
Elisa gave a vague expression.
Patrick tucked in his lips before placing his shoulder bag onto the counter.
Elisa asked, "Why is this so important to you? I think it's just putting stress onto you."
He shook his head, "It's not. It's just the last batch of couples that came in, I helped. I have a reputation to keep."
Elisa rolled her eyes smiling, "Well, you come to bed when you're ready."
Patrick bit his lower lip, "Oh, I'm ready."
