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

I take a few minutes to calm myself down and think things through before I walk back into the living room and say "Ian can I talk to you for a minute?" He looks up at me confused and I try my best to ignore the confused stare from Frank as well and Ian says "Yeah let's go have a cigarette." We step outside onto the balcony, closing the door behind us and we take a seat on the chairs out there in the corner away from the door. Ian waits until we're both lit up before saying "What's going on?" "Please just tell me the truth, did Frank come to New York dating Jake?" Ian looks everywhere but my face and I take his aversion as confirmation. "I fucking knew it, I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake." "Look Gee they were dating but very very loosely, Frank was clearly not into it all that much and was very hung up on you and..." "I don't even care that they dated, whatever, but he lied to me yet again and I fucking trusted him." "Oh so he didn't tell you?" "No he specifically told me they split up before I broke it off with him." "Oh, yeah that's a fucked up situation. How did you know then?" "Jake told me to hurt me just then." "Damn. Look between you and me I don't care for Jake at all, he's such a douche." I let out a small giggle through the few tears that are rolling down my cheeks and Ian leans in and hugs me. "I'm sorry Gee. I honestly do like you, you're a really cool guy and I could totally see us being friends, maybe even something more if you were interested and even if things don't work out with you and Frank you have my number and the offer still stands about the job at the coffee shop if you want it." "Thanks Ian. I think maybe it's time to just cut my losses on this whole thing and walk away but I'd like to be friends and...." I'm cut off by the door opening and Frank stepping outside. "What's going on?" He asks, looking between us warily. "Well that's my cue" Ian says, standing up and winking at me before he reaches down and squeezes my shoulder, walking back inside. "Babe?" Frank asks as he comes over and takes Ian's seat. "I had a nice little talk with your ex." "What?" "Jake, you know, your ex boyfriend who you moved to New York with and then broke up with and then lied to me about dating." A look of pure panic spreads across Franks face before he says "Listen Gee I...." "No you listen Frank, I could have forgiven it and gotten over it if you had just been honest with me but you weren't, you lied right to my fucking face for the millionth time knowing what this would do to me if I found out and now that I have.....I don't even feel mad at you anymore, I just feel really fucking sad that I could mean so little to someone that they could keep doing this to me." "Gee...." "No. I'm talking now, I'm not interested in any more lies and don't try to deny what you've done. I don't trust you Frank and to me, every word that comes from your mouth now is just another lie." I stand up, ready to walk out of here forever when Frank stands and grabs my wrist, pulling me back towards him. "Let go Frank, you've done enough damage to me already." "No, you're not leaving again" Frank says as he grabs me roughly, spinning me around and slamming my back against the wall as he presses against me, slamming his mouth to mine and sliding his tongue into my mouth. I turn my head away from him and I struggle to shove him off and spit out "Get the fuck off me." "No" Frank snaps, raising one hand to slap me across the cheek, shocking me into stillness. "Just fucking listen to me
for a change. I'm not letting you leave again, I can't fucking
handle that. I love you Gerard, with my whole heart and I'm sorry that I lied, again but fuck you don't make this easy on me. I have never had to work so fucking hard at anything in my whole life but guess what, I have never wanted anything this badly so I am working my ass off for you and I would do anything to get you so yeah I lied but it's over now and you're the only person I want to spend the rest of my life with and even if you don't trust me now I will work every day for the rest of our lives to make you see that I really do love you and to earn your trust back again. I'll do anything it takes, even if that means walking back in there right now and killing Jake, I'd do it, for you. I wanted to wait until tonight to do this but" he pauses, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a small box. "Gee, will you marry me?" He asks, opening the box and showing me the beautiful white gold band with the shiny black stones in it. "This is clearly make or break for us and if you said no and walked out of my life right now I think I would throw myself off the balcony" he admits in a small voice and I stare at him in disbelief, unable to fully comprehend what's happening. I remain silent, staring at Franks face and after a long minute he starts to cry, tears silently rolling down his cheeks as he stares into my eyes, holding the ring out to me as an offering and he whimpers out "Please baby, I love you." I snap back to myself, feeling like I momentarily left my body and I launch myself forward into his arms, wrapping mine around his neck as I say "Yes Frankie." Frank breathes out a sigh of relief as he wraps his arms tight around me, squeezing the life out of me as he picks me up and I wrap my legs around his waist as he seals his lips to mine. I tangle my fingers in his hair as we kiss heatedly for a few minutes before Frank carefully walks us back over to the chair and sits down, me straddling his lap and he leaves one arm wrapped around my waist, helping me stay in his lap while the other brings the box back around infront of me. I stare down at it before reaching out with shaky fingers and picking the ring up, Frank sitting the box aside before taking the ring and sliding it onto my left ring finger. We both watch him do it before we look back up into each other's eyes and we share a wide smile before leaning in for another kiss.

When we finally make our way back inside we have agreed on what to do and Frank grabs my hand and as we step back inside he says "I have an announcement to make. Gerard and I are getting married." Everyone stares at us in shock and Ian stands up and says "Are you for real?" I nod and hold out my hand, showing off the ring and Ian smiles and steps over to wrap me in a crushing hug. "Congratulations" he says softly in my ear and when we pull apart again Frank is no longer at my side, gone from the room with Jake and I know he's breaking off their friendship like we agreed. "Thanks Ian, for everything you've done." "That's what friends are for right?" He says and I smile and nod before the rest of the guys offer up congratulations of their own and I slowly make my way out of the room and into Franks where I hear a lot of yelling going on. "You're seriously doing this for him? He's so not worth it Frank, this is fucking insane." "Gerard is the love of my life and the fact you can't support that and be happy for me just proves we shouldn't be friends anymore." I hear a few more yelled swear words before Jake turns around and spots me, marching towards me where I stand just inside the door and he shoves me back against the wall and punches me in the face. I sink to the floor, clutching at my now bleeding nose and Jake marches from the room, Frank running after him and I hear a loud thud followed by a lot of yelling and the sound of flesh hitting flesh as I curl up into a ball and whimper in pain.

Notes

So kinda fluffy but drama at the same, I felt like Frank and Gee needed to make a solid decision about their relationship already
