Gerard's POV

*Flashback from when Gerard was outside*

"Hey..." Lindsey purrs.

"What the fuck is he doing here?!" I ask Ray and Bob.

"Oh Gee, let's not be mean..." She says and comes and wraps her arms around my neck. I smile because I push her but Ray snaps a picture before I do so it looks like we are about to kiss.

"Ray, delete it!" I yell.

"Fine..." He shows me his home and clicks the trash can. I nod and look back at Lindsey.

She's a total bitch. We dated last year and she cheated on me with tree other guys. She pressured me into sex, because I wasn't into girls at the time and I regret it. I wasn't even doing anything, she was just pleasuring herself. She moved schools after we 'dated'. I guess so she could find fresh meat.

I hate her.

"We called her just in case something like this happened. She always has good blackmailing ideas." Ray grinned.

Mikey walks outside and closes the door behind him, I nod indicating that I know he's here.

"That doesn't changed anything! I want out if this bet!" I demand.

"Why? Do you like Frank?" Bob joked and everyone laughed. I felt my fists and my jaw clench.

"Really? You’re falling for Iero? The faggot?!" Ray exclaims.

"Shut up!" I yell.

"I have an idea..." Lindsey says and pulls the boys back as she whispers her idea. They start to laugh and this can't be good.

"Alright Gerard, if you want to still leave this bet, you can. We will just tell Frank that your cheating on him. Remember we still have pictures of you and Lindsey when you were dating and you both look the same. You'll break his heart."

"You ass!" Mikey yells.

"Stay out of this." Lindsey tells Mikey.

"But if you do stay in the bet, you and Frank can date and be happy, but when you do it and he says I love you, you dump him and if you don't we'll tell him all about you and Lindsey."

"You fuckers!" I yell.

"At least we can get a decent fuck." Lindsey laughs. I snap, and lunge at her but Mikey, Bob and Ray hold me back until I calm down.

"Also, either way there's a large possibility of Frank, you know... Ending himself, so it's a lose-lose for you. In his little journal it said and I quote, 'If I found out Gerard hates me, I would be better off killing myself.'" Ray mocks.

Shit, I forgot about the journal. I'll have to get my hands on it to see how Frank really feels. They went through it during lunch and that's another thing I regret, telling them to look through it.

"I'll stay in the motherfucking bet! Just get the fuck away from me!" I say and take snow off the ground and throw it at Lindsey's face. It hits her and she spits on me. I wipe it off, and say, "Gross, slut juice..."

Her jaw drops and she turns and struts away.

"We'll give you until your birthday to finish. Oh, and don't tell Frank or we turn to Lindsey." Bob smirks.

The boys follow her and Mikey and I go back inside.

"I'm an ass... You were right." I say, my head in my hands.

"Yeah, you are. I know I was right and now you need to find a way to protect Frank from heartbreak!" Mikey yells and goes to his room.

I stay there for a few moments and think.

I need to protect Frankie.

My Frankie...

*Present Time*

When I get to my room I plop down on my bed.

What am I going to do with myself?

I can't back out if the bet because of Lindsey the bitch.

"What have I done?" I ask myself. I keep thinking of ways to get Frank out of this until Mikey walks in.

"Hey Gee- you’re crying." He says and I realize I am.

I wipe them off quickly and sit up. He sits next to me and rubs my back.

"Gerard, we can find a way out of this... For Frank." He says.

"But Mikey-" I start.

"I know, you feel sorry that he's been dragged into this shit, you wished you listened to me, and you wish that Frank was here." He says, and I raise an eyebrow. He got everything correct.

I nod.

"Is Zacky still here?" I ask.

"Nah, he left when you left with Frank."

"Oh..."

"So... Does this mean you’re gay?"

"I don't know... I like girls, but I really like Frank.."

"So straight, but Frank is the only exception?"

"Yeah... Yeah that's good."

"You're really into Frank, aren't you?"

"More than you know..."

"But you two have known each other for a day."

"He's been watching me for five years, but I just feel something with him, you know?"

"Yeah, it'll get better Gerard." He says and hugs me.

"Well I'm going to Kristin's tomorrow so I'm gonna go to sleep, night."

"Night Mikes." I wave and he leaves to his room. I get ready for bed which include brushing my teeth and getting in my pajamas, which is a long sleeved black shirt and sweats. I'm not hungry because that sandwich I made was pretty big before.

I think of Frank. I made him food and we kissed. He tasted like mint. He always does, and I like that about him too.

I turn off my light but then turn on a lamp and get in bed. My Mom wasn't going to be home until later tonight and I'm really bored. I grab my sketchbook and open to a fresh page. I know what I want to draw.

I begin with a circle and then magic happens. My hand flicks and my pencil makes marks across the page. It flies up and down as if it had a mind of it's own. When I finish I am very happy with my creation.

My beautiful creation.

Frankie.

My Frankie.

The only exception....

Notes

Looks like it is time for Gerard to fall ;3
