Truth Be Told

*Frank P.O.V.*

Frank woke up wrapped up in someones arms. For a second Frank panicked, then relaxed as he remembered it was only Gerard. He tried to turn over to see Gerard's face but, Gerard’s arms were very tight around him so he decided to try and fall back to sleep again. Right as Frank was beginning to drift off into sleep Gerard started to untangle himself from Frank. Frank looked over at Gerard and he smiled down at him.

“Sleep well Frank?” Gerard said. Frank nodded and smiled back at him. Frank caught himself thinking about how cute Gerard was in the morning with his hair all tossed back and not in his face. His hazel eyes all sleepy and relaxed. Frank quickly shook those thoughts and got up to go to the bathroom and splash his face with water trying to wake up. As Frank looked in the small plastic mirror secured to the wall all he thought about was how ugly and fat he had gotten in the few day he had been in this hospital. Sighing Frank went back into his room and felt a little disappointed at not seeing Gerard. Frank decided to change then go and see if Gerard was in the dining hall.

After he had changed into the stupid white pajamas that are standard for every patient, Frank walked to the dining hall. He grabbed some cereal and saw Gerard sitting at his usual table busy scribbling in his book. Frank was debating whether it was a good idea to sit with Gerard or not, when Gerard looked up and smiled at him. Frank smiled back and sat across from Gerard.

“Frank you should eat you don’t look so great.” Frank frowned at Gerard, he really didn’t want to eat, he felt fat and gross. He knew that eating would only make him feel worse so he shook his head at Gerard.

“Frank please eat” Gerard pleaded with him. Frank crossed his arms and shook his head again feeling quite childish doing so but, finally Gerard left him alone. Gerard did frown at him disapprovingly, which made Frank feel very guilty but he wasn’t going to give in and eat so he sat and waited till group therapy was called.

After what felt like hours went by a nurse called for them to make their way to therapy and they all shuffled in. Frank sat down in the circle and Gerard sat down next to him, making Frank smile inwardly.

“Hello everyone! It’s great to see you all! I think today will be just our normal going around the circle and sharing how we’ve been recently, okay?” Dr. Friedman walked in saying cheerfully.

“Yippee!” Gerard muttered under his breath.

“Oh I’m glad you’re so excited Gerard, you can start us off then!” Friedman said.

“Okay Dr. Friedman. Well I’ve been feeling absolutely, completely, fucking, fantastic really. I mean I just love everything being so white in this prison, I mean facility, It’s just so fucking brilliant!” Gerard said every word dripping with sarcasm.

Cooly Friedman said “Nice to hear Gerard now we are going to move on to Frank. Frank how’ve you been?” Frank looked at Gerard and saw his anger growing towards Friedman who hadn’t reacted to what Gerard had said the way he had planned. Frank then looked at Friedman and shook his head.

“Frank I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. I want you to talk about how you are feeling.” Friedman said her eyes never leaving Frank’s. Frank again shook his head, but she wouldn’t leave him alone.

“Frank if you don’t want to speak then write it down.” Frank shook his head again, he didn’t want to share anything.

“Frank-” Friedman tried to say but was cut off by Gerard saying “Leave him the fuck alone, if he doesn't want to share with you or anybody else then he doesn’t have too.” Friedman looked at Gerard with such surprise in her eyes. As she was about to say something to him, Gerard grabbed his hand and towed him out of the room and down the hall to Gerard’s room.

“God, I fucking hate that bitch Friedman! She thinks she’s God! She’s fucking no one!” Gerard screamed once they got to his room. Frank sat down on his bed while Gerard stalked around seething with anger.

“She can’t leave anyone alone! God she pisses me off so much!” And with that gerard punched the wall. Frank was really scared watching Gerard scream and hit the walls. Finally Gerard sat down next to Frank on the bed, breathing heavily from throwing himself around. Frank looked at Gerard’s hands and saw that he had split some of the skin on his knuckles from punching the walls. Frank got up and went to the bathroom to get a wet towel. He then walked over to Gerard and sat down in front of him and began to wash the blood off of his hands. Gerard’s breathing had finally calmed and he looked up at Frank and muttered “Thanks.” Frank could see that the anger still hadn’t left Gerard’s eyes yet so Frank got up to leave.

“Uh Frank, um would you like to stay?” Gerard muttered. Frank shook his head and sat down next to him on the bed.
