It's Hard to Say I Love You for the First Time (Frerard) *ON HOLD*

When I dropped Mikey off at the hospital I made sure he got in and the I left. By the time I got to the Way's it was already dark and it began to snow. I put the car back and got out texting Donna that I had the keys and I would keep them safe. But she texted me back saying she was home and to drop the keys off now.

I shrug and walk to the front door. I knock twice and the door opens.

"Hello Frank!" She says cheerfully and leads to to their living room whih is super cozy!

She tells me to sit down and she fetches two cups of coffee, one for the each of us.

"Thank you, Donna." I thank her as she deposits the cup of coffee into my hand. She sits down on the sofa across from me.

"So Frank, why did you get kicked out of the hospital?" She questions and I almost spit my coffee out of my mouth. I didn't even think if an excuse! I was too busy with the photo Gerard had drawn, which was still in the car! Ugh! I forgot it.

"Frank, Gerard wanted to make sure it was okay with me before he tried anything one you. So did you get kicked out because you guys were doing something sexual?" She asks.

My heart is in my throat. What if she is just making the whole thing up? What if she is tricking me and them if I tell her the truth, she forbids me from hanging out with Gerard. I don't want to take the risk, but honesty is the best policy.

"Yes, I did get kicked out for that reason." I mumble and put my head down in shame. I don't want Donna to think of me as some slit that made her son get hit by a car and now almost did it with her oldest son.

"It's okay. Gerard wanted to do that with you."

"But we didn't do anything, we-"

"You were about to then Jamia walked in. I know, I don't like her too much anyway."

"I don't like her at all. The main reason she told on us is becuase she wanted me and Gerard said he wouldn't share."

"I know Frank," she laughs, "Gerard told me everything that happened over the phone."

"So you’re not mad?"

"Of course not! Gerard's eighteen, and he can do whatever he wants. He a grown up now." She smiles.

"Oh thank God, I thought you were going to think I was some kind of-"

"Dirty slit? Gerard was afraid you would think that of yourself too. He said don't becuase your not. Now let me drive you home." She says as we walk towards the front door. I hand her the keys and push away a bit.

"Oh no, please it's no trouble walking home! I only live a few houses down."

"No, Frank," she insists, "I'm going to the hospital to fill out some papers and check on Gerard, it's the least I can do."

"Oh, alright." I give in and we all to the car, me walking faster Ecuador I need the picture before Donna can see it. Once I her the door unlock I rip it open and jump for the picture and swiping it away before Donna even opened her car door. I put it in my jacket and pretended that I was having trouble with my seat belt.

I tell Donna which house it is as we drive and when she parks she hugs me.

"Thank you for being there for Gerard, Frank. It means so much to me, Mikey, and especially Gerard. I think he really likes you." She says as she is stroking my hair.

"It's no trouble." I say as we pull away from each other.

"Is your mother or father home?" She asks.

"My mom isn't home, she always goes on business trip and I only see her during Christmas and my birthday so I basically live on my own. It’s hard but I like it because it prepares me for the future." I say and Donna freezes.

“Frank, when you go inside, I need you to pack a bag because I want you to come and live with us.” She says.

“Oh no! It’s no trouble, really!”

“Frank, when I get back, you will have a bag ready. Alright?”

“Are you sure? I wouldn’t want to inconvenience you, or your family.”

“Frank, now I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. You will have bag ready when I get back.”

I smile, and then hug her. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met.

“Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!” I cheers.

She laughs and pats me back, hugging me as well. “Anything for you Frank.”

I get out of the car and waves goodbye as she leaves.I walk into my house, and go up to my room, preparing a duffel bag. I put my favorite clothes, and a couple things I use on my spare time. I zip it up, and grab my guitar. I leave my bags by the front door, so I can leave this cold house right when I hear Donna’s horn beep.

I realize I haven’t eaten anything all day since lunch when my stomach growled. I wasn’t really hungry so I go into the kitchen and just make a bowl of cheerios.

I think about the picture Gerard drew, and I should probably put it back. I don’t want it to be missing if he goes to get it. Once I finish my cereal I was my bowl, and get Gerard’s photo. I put it in one of my comic books, so I can slide it back in his shirt tonight. I sit down on the couch with one of my comic books, and get through half of it before I get a text from Donna.

Mrs. Way: I’m outside, :)

Me: Coming out now

I put the comic book in my bag, and grab both of them. I sling my guitar case over my shoulder, and pick up my duffel bag. I open the door, walk outside, close it and lock it. I run to the car not wanting to make Donna wait, also because it is rather cold out.

I get into the passenger seat, and see Mikey in the back.

“Hi Frank, ready to go?” Donna asks.

“Yeah, thank you again. If I am ever an inconvenience please tell me!” I beg.

“Gerard would love to have you in the house, you guys can go into his room, and have s-” Mikey starts, but Donna cuts him off.

“Michael!”

“They’re bound to do it sometime!” He laughs.

Are we?
