*Gerard's POV*

"I'm not sure yet" I mumbled into Frank's neck, answering his question before pulling away and letting him leave through the door. I stood and watched him walk away before going back inside, closing the door behind me. I slouched down against the hallway wall until I was sitting, exhaling loudly. God that boy was doing things to my head, one minute I wanted to break his nose and then next I wanted everything to do with him. I stayed there for a while with my head in my hands until Mikey stepped into the hall.

"Gerard-" He started to talk but I stood up and tried to walk away. He grabbed hold of my arm and pulled me back. "Please just listen to me." He pleaded and I stopped moving when I saw the miserable look in his eyes.

"Make it quick." I muttered as I pulled my arm out of his grip and stood still in front of him.

"Look, I just worry okay. I don't want anything to happen to you, you're the only family I have, Gerard. I over reacted with Frank, I get that and I'm sorry about the other things I said too." I looked up at Mikey with an exasperated expression.

"Fucking fine, but you have to trust me when I say something next time." I sighed, giving in to him. He was my brother after all, I couldn't hold a grudge with him. "Frank's nice, it just takes some time for him to warm up to you." I added.

"I guess as long as you're happy he isn't a problem." He said just as someone walked up the front door. We both jumped at the sound of keys in the lock but relaxed when we saw it was just Sandra. She look flustered, carrying a bag of groceries in one arm and a pile of paperwork in the other.

"Oh, hey boys? Could you give me a hand here, sorry." We shuffled around and took the things from her hands before she went back to get more bags from the car. "I just bought some more food for the week, I tried to get healthier things this time though. I don't want you two just living off of cookies and potato crisps." She explained as me and Mikey rummaged through the shopping bags, looking for something over than fruit and vegetables but coming up empty handed.

After we helped her put things away me and Mikey both went back to our rooms. I took my phone out of my pocket and decided to text Frank.

To: Frankie

I got a reply back not long after.

From: Frankie
Hey! I'll save ur number in my phone now. Did u talk to Mikey???

To: Frankie
Yeah, we sorted things out.

From: Frankie
See, I told u it wouldn't be that bad! :)

We talked for a while longer before I fell asleep on top of the covers of my bed, my clothes still on. The text tone bleeped on my phone a few minutes later but I was too asleep to hear it.

From: Frankie
Goodnight gerard x
