You Can Cry All You Want To, I Don't Care

When we break for air again I roll off Frank and lay beside him, both of us rolling to face each other as we link fingers and pant into each other's mouths. "Fuck I love you" Frank pants out and I smile wide as I say "I love you too Frankie." We lay in silence after that just staring at each other, studying every inch of each other's faces. "You're so beautiful" I tell him and Frank blushes a tiny bit as he says "Not as beautiful as you baby." I blush too and we both giggle before going silent again. After a while I break the silence by saying "I should go move my stuff back down here" and Franks smile fades. "Baby, you were really breaking up with me?" I sigh before saying "I dunno what I was doing I just couldn't handle the thought of seeing you at the time. I'd just been almost raped by Bert and you were off kissing someone else and...." "Wait what the fuck did you just say?" I stop talking and I suddenly realise that Mikey never told Frank what actually happened. "Bert, he uh, I was drawing under our tree and he tried to drag me down to the sport field and he was saying about making me beg for it and...." Franks face is scaring me to death and without warning he leaps off the bed and pulls on a pair of discarded jeans, not bothering with any other clothing or shoes as he runs from the room and I start to panic about what he's doing so I get up and quickly redress, running from the room but having no idea which way he went. I run down the hall towards the stairs to go down and outside as I pull my cell from my pocket and dial Mikey's number. "Hey Gee..." "Mikey you gotta help me, I just told Frank what happened with Bert and he fucking....:I dunno he kinda snapped and he took off half naked and I have no idea where he's gone, well I think he's looking for Bert but I don't know what to do or where they could be and..." "Woah woah Gee calm down and take a breath" Mikey tells me and I realise I said all that in one breath with no gaps and I'm crying, making my words even more unintelligible. "Pete and I are out in the yard, come out here and we'll do whatever we can to help." I push open the door and walk outside to see them over near the tree and I run over, Mikey pulling me into his arms. "Shh Gee it's alright we'll find them ok" he tells me as Pete pulls out his cell and makes a call. When he slides it back in his pocket he says "Ok, just about everyone is on the lookout for them now" he tells me and just as I open my mouth to speak his cell starts ringing. He answers it but doesn't say a word before he hangs up again and says "Behind the art block" and we all take off sprinting as fast as we can across campus and the closer we get to the art building the more people we see crowding around. I shove my way through the crowd to see Bert on the ground, Frank ontop of him straddling his waist as his hands are wrapped around his neck and he's choking him as he continually slams his head into the ground. "Raping my fucking boyfriend" I hear him screaming and I launch myself onto Frank, desperately trying to pull him off Bert. He struggles to keep his hold on Bert but when Mikey and Pete rush in to help me we manage to get him off and onto his back on the ground and I crawl over him, straddling his hips as I lean down over him and cup his face in my hands. "Baby baby please stop" I beg as he struggles against our hold, tears streaming down my face. He struggles for a few seconds longer before he gives up and he yanks his arms free of the hold Pete has on them to wrap them around my waist and he sits up as I wrap my arms around his shoulders and bury my face in his neck as I sob. "Baby don't cry" he whispers in my ear as he holds me against his chest and gently rubs my back. I continue to cry as he holds me and I manage to choke out "What if they take you away from me?" Franks hands stop moving on my back and he groans out "Fuck, I didn't think, baby it'll be ok I promise, no matter what happens we'll always be together, I'll find a way." I cling even tighter to him as the crowd starts to move away, Bert being helped to the nurses office. Once everyone is gone Frank and I slowly stand up and he wraps his arm around my waist as we walk back across to the dorm building and up to our room.

Once we get back to the room I lay down on my bed and watch through the tears as Frank starts packing up his things, expecting someone to come for him any minute and when he's done he comes over and lays beside me, pulling me into his chest and letting me cry against his skin. "Baby I'm so sorry, I'm sorry I left and let that happen to you, I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you, I'm sorry I didn't answer the phone that day, I'm sorry I fucked up and kissed someone else and I'm sorry I may have just fucked this whole thing up." My cries eventually die down and I sniffle against his chest until my eyes shut and I fall asleep in his arms.
