I Mean This Forever

"Um probably 20 or 30 minutes from now" Frank says "Okay Frankie, I'll see you then" I answer happily. "Love you" I hang up after hearing the quiet reply of "Love you too" Mikey walks up next to me. "What was that about?" "Frank needs me to pick him up. I say quietly biting my lip. "Gerard, what's wrong?" Mikey asks obviously seeing how distracted I am. I look around nervously to make sure our parents aren't anywhere nearby. They aren't. I lean in close to Mikey.
I was just thinking, maybe it was time that we... that we should.... you know... tell Frank the truth about us... that we're vampires." Mikey didn't get mad or yell at me like I thought he was going to. "Gerard you know we can't do that" He says a little to loud. I cringe hoping Mom or Dad didn't hear. "But Mikey-" I whine "I'll explain in the car." He whispers so soft I almost miss it. I nod and Mikey heads back upstairs to finish getting ready for school. I stand and stare at the phone on the wall wishing I could call Frank back.
XXXXXXXX
Fifteen minutes later, Mikey and I say bye to our parents and hop into our car. I turn the car on and put it in reverse, pulling out of the driveway. "Okay Mikey, explain." I say as I drive through the suburban area. Most of the houses in this neighborhood were really big and extravagant. Frank lived in the next neighborhood over.
"Okay, so last week I thought about telling Alicia" He tells me. "Really?" Mikey nods "Yeah, and then I realized, she knew I was dating Pete. What if she blames us for him disappearing?" Whoa shit he was right. Frank might think the same thing. "But couldn't you just explain that it was those prissy assholes from across town?" I ask. "Well she could not believe me, or believe me and freak out cause there's a murderous clan in our town." he answers with a straight face. I sigh. "Or accept it"
We pull up in front of Frank's house. I'm about to honk the horn so he knows I'm here but Mikey grabs my hand to stop me. "Okay suppose that happens," he says glaring at me with his honey colored, contact covered, eyes. "Alicia would live for the next few days or weeks or whatever knowing that her boyfriend is an immortal monster who is never going to physically age again while she's sitting there growing older every second. What do you think she'll ask me to do then?" "Change her" I whisper. Mikey nods and I understand why he doesn't want to tell Alicia and why I shouldn't tell Frank. Mikey lets go of my arm and crawls into the backseat.
According to Mom, vampire blood is like acid times ten going down your throat and running in your veins and you can feel it even when you're unconscious. I wouldn't be able to do that to Frankie.
I push the door open and step out into the chilly air. I need to see him, feel him, make sure he's still there. Ever since that other clan murdered Pete I've been afraid something bad would happen to Frank, that'd he'd be taken from me. I can't let that happen. I love him too much. Frank is my everything. I don't think I'd be able to live if I lost him.
I quickly walk up the steps to the front door of the Iero residence and knock on the door.

Notes

Hello friendly people! How are you all this fine evening/ morning/ middle of the fucking night? I'm fucking terrible. My earbuds are breaking, again. I have broken so many pairs of earbuds and headphones I lost count a while ago. Yeah...
I'll explain Pete, Alicia, etc later in Vampires so read that shit too.
Also the "other clan/ prissy assholes from across town" are the vampires from the music video for the Fall Out Boy song A Little Less Sixteen Candles A Little More Touch Me. If you haven't seen it go watch it. It's my favotite FOB video! VAMPIRE!PETE how can you not love Vampire!Pete?

Song of the moment: I Don't Love You- MCR
