All you have to do is say yes

~Frank’s POV~
I was really thrilled that Gerard enjoyed his present. We had a lot of fun writing songs together at the beach yesterday. All in all it was a great day, that is until we went to TGI Friday's. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at how Gerard looked at Helen. I knew that look all too well... I climbed out of bed, glancing over at Billie who was sleeping soundly. I smiled and Gerard left my mind as I remembered Billie. I decided I would make her breakfast in bed as some sort of a romantic gesture. At least I hoped it was romantic. Oh well, it was worth a try I guess. Half an hour later, I tip-toed back to me and Billie's room with a plate full of eggs, toast, and pancakes. I knew Billie isn't a vegetarian, but I couldn't bring myself to touch the bacon. I set the tray down next to her and tapped her on the shoulder. "Billie, wake up honey." Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled. She sat up and glanced at the plate. "Aww, Frankie what's this?" she asked with a small grin on her sleepy face. "I decided to make you breakfast in bed. Do you like it?" I asked as she took a bite of the pancake. My face fell when she gagged. She looked at me with fear in her eyes. Oh my God she's choking! Luckily, she ceased choking and looked over at me with a playful smirk. "Just kidding," she laughed. I sat there for a moment in shock, and then laughed along with her. Soon the kids came in obviously drawn in by the pancake smell. We all gathered on our bed and ate while laughing happily. ~Helen's POV~ It was so nice of Gerard to let me stay here with them. Truth be told, I was afraid to go back to my house. I didn't want to see everything burnt to a crisp. I didn't even know where my parents were. I prayed that they were on vacation or something; but now that I think about it, I haven't heard from them since the fire. I took out my small blue phone and dialled my mother's number. It went straight to voicemail. I felt my eyes tear up and I sat down on Gee's couch and let the tears flow. Gerard came in to the room looking worriedly over at me on the couch. "S-sorry if I w-woke you up, G-Gee," I stuttered in between tears. He came over and sat next to me, slinging his arm around my shoulder. "Of course not. I've been awake for hours, and when I heard you crying I wanted to make sure you were okay." I smiled and hugged him. I felt him hesitate for a moment before hugging me back. I snuggled close to him. "So Helen, what's wrong?" When I was done, he had tears in his eyes as well. "Oh, Helen I'm so sorry. Hopefully they're on vacation, but if worst comes to worst, you're welcome to stay with Bandit and I,” My face lit up and I crushed him in a tight hug. He returned it this time without hesitation, and I smiled, feeling like everything was perfect.
