You Can Run Away With Me Anytime You Want

As we walked down the street, hand in hand, fingers intertwined, I thought about the past few days. I thought about my asshole of a father, and what he did to me. I must of have shivered because Gerard wrapped his arm around me and kissed the side of my forehead. I snuggled into his side awkwardly. I thought about how Gerard was there for me. How he was willing to leave everything he knows and loves to protect me. Which made me realize something I never really thought about before. Do I love him? Well..

I love the way he gets overprotective of me. I love how sticks his tongue out a little when he's drawing. I love how he's careful not to over do something. I love the way he holds me tight at night. I love the way his hair sticks up in different ways when he wakes up to say good morning in his sexy, raspy, nasally voice. I love the way he .... I love Gerard Arthur Way. I love everything about him.

Something about me must of have changed because we stopped walking and he faced me. He made me look up to him by lifting my chin with his finger. "Are you okay Frankie?”

I paused. Am I okay? No. I'm fucking amazing. I'm here with the person I love the most. He chose me over everything else. He wanted me safe. Instead of actually saying anything, I wrapped my arms firmly around his neck, and brought him in for a much needed kiss.

The kiss was rough and passionate. We stood there in the middle of the sidewalk kissing for what felt like 2 seconds, when it could be 5, we pulled it away.

"What was that for, babe?" Gerard asked as I cuddled into his chest, and he ran his hand through my hair.

I giggled, because I loved the way his hand felt against my head. I leaned into his touch and kissed his palm. I should tell him.. right? "Gee.. I need to tell you something.”

"Hm?”

"I-I..”

"You what Frankie?" He stood back a bit to look into my eyes lovingly. He has to love me.. right? Tensed up a bit, preparing for what I about to say.

"Gerard Arthur Way," Gee cocked an eyebrow, "I.. I love you.”

He tensed up, but his eyes never left mine. I could see a flash of confusion, a tiny bit of lust, and a lot of love. Maybe this wasn't a bad idea? He slowly relaxed. "I love you too Frank Anthony Iero Jr.”

I got a stupid smile on my face, then I smashed my lips into his. We kissed heatedly, not caring who was watching. We stopped and looked at each other with much love, it's sickening to others. We let go and started walking down the street again, but our hands are clutching on our hands like it's our life lines.

~~~

My feet ache, my head hurts, over all I feel like absolute shit. It's been about 5 hours of just walking around outside, talking bullshit to each other of random topics.

"C'mon, admit Batman is be-“

"Gerard, I don't feel good. When are we gonna go to a hotel or motel or somewhere that we can rest." I groaned at him. We stopped dead in our tracks when he got this concentrated look on his face. Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me into a close shop.

"Stay here.. I'll grab a drink, some meds, and some food. I'll also ask about a cheap motel. Okay?" I nodded as he gave me a quick peck on the cheek.

He walked away, swinging his hips slightly, making me giggle at the man child I'm dating. I walked around, breaking his little rule, looking around. I saw a box of Skittles and took 5 bags. I ran up to the cashier, where Gerard was paying. I put the Skittles down and he looked at me in pure confusion, then shook it off and bought them for me. I squealed as I put them into my bag as we walked out.

"He said there is a cheap motel down the road. About a 35 minute walk. And what was with the Skittles?" Gee said with a little giggle in his voice.

"What can I say? I love them. I rarely got them when I was with him.." I shivered a little as we began to walk down towards the motel. Gerard drapped his arm around my shoulder and giggled again at my reply.

"Gee, on a serious note, what about money? What are we gonna do? We're homeless, going from motel to motel to save what little money we have."

"We should look for apartments. Unless you wanna go somewhere else? I mean... we should be okay there. We could talk to the cops-“

"NO! Not the police. I don't wanna alert my dad. I think we will be okay here. Maybe tell Mikey? I mean.... He's probably worried about us." I could see the motel. Coming into view. "We should call him when we get there." He smiled giving into the idea.

~~

I flopped down onto the bed, and pushed my throbbing head into the pillow. I felt the bed dip around me as Gerard crawled on top of me. I rolled over and pulled him closer to me and kissed him passionately. He smiled into the kiss as his hands went to hips when he pulled away.

"We should call Mikes.”

What shocked me is that he's trying to stay strong. For us. But I can see he's slowly falling apart on the inside. He can't hide it from me. "Yes.”

He dialed the Mikey's number and put the shitty hotel phone to his ear. "Hey Mikes! Oh, yeah. We're okay. I pr- okay Mikes calm down. Does Frank's dad know we are gone?........ Good.... Yeah... He's right here. We are getting along nicely as we can...... Mikey, please don't tell mom I called. At least not yet.... Mikey... please?!.......... Um.. Mikes.. Keep us updated. Don't call us, we will call you. I love ya Mikes" Then he ended the call aburptly. He turned towards me and crawled in to bed. He kissed me sweetly and burried himself in the sheets. I cuddled up next to him, and closed my eyes, wishing that everything was okay.



But this was only the beginning of what is yet come.
