"Frank you are just the stupidest person I have ever met but I love you."Lily whispered in my ear. I giggled into her hair then sighed.
"I love you too."I smiled and pulled away from her.

After the whole spaz at school and the weird moment with Lewis I ahd gone to see Claire and had spent the day with her. She hated it there and wanted to come back but Mrs Macy wasn't going to let her. When half 3 rolled around I went back to the house to talk to Lily about everything. We had just finished our heart to heart moment when someone shouted downstairs.

"Frank! Get down here!"Someone yelled fro downstairs. Lily and I looked at each other perplexed for a second then got up to go downstairs. When we got downstairs Steven called me from the lounge. He was watching something on the tv.

"What?"I asked and glanced at the tv.
"Look."Steven gestured to the tv. I looked at it properly and realised what was on. The news was on and they were showing a picture of Dean.

"Turn it up!"Lily shouted and sat down on the couch. I sat down next to her as Steven turned it up and we started listening.
"... new evidence proving he is in fact the killer of Tracey Griffiths, Porsha Cook, Nicole Lewington, Donna Way and many more. Trials are still in progress over the murders of countless teenage and young orphan girls. Dean Smith's funeral was held two weeks ago with only his mother turning up. Smith was shot in the chest by a 17 year old who was the son of one of the murders of the women. Juries are still trying to determine whether it was self defence or revenge. The final trial deciding this fact is to be held tomorrow starting at 9:00am. And now over to sports. The tigers ha-"

"Fuck... Someone needs to talk to Gerard."I said quietly and stood up,"Steven call him."
"I think we all need to be there tomorrow."Lily sighed.
"That you do... Hi Gerard its Stev- Hey."Steven shook his head as I snatched the phone from him.

"Hey Gerard its Frank. Where are you?"
"I'm at Petes why?"
"I'll see you there in ten."I said and hung up the phone.
"You need a ride?"Steven asked.
"Yes please."I smiled gratefully.

"Do you want me to come?"Lily looked from me to Steven and back.
"Sure."I smiled. She smiled back and we all started walking out the door.

-time lapse-

"Gerard come back!"Steven called. We all flinched as a door slammed down the hall. Lily, Steven and I had just been telling him about the news and he hadn't taken it very well. He had a massive freakout over going to jail for killing Dean and stormed into his room.

"I'll go talk to him."I sighed and got up. I walked down the hall way and knocked quietly on his door. There was no answer but I went in anyway.
"Gerard you know they wont put you in prison right? So what if you wanted to kill him. The jury will believe that it was self defence. Plus, given everything else he has done, they're probably going to thank you for offing him."I said as I slowly shut the door behind me with a soft click.

He was sitting on the floor slumped against his bed with his head down, hair covering his face. I stared at his gorgeous hair then glanced at his bed, remembering the last time I was in here. Oh fuck.
"I know you're right I just- its really... upsetting? to hear about him killing all these women and my mum and just- fuck."Gerard flung his head up and stared at the ceiling.

I couldn't focus on what he was saying. Could only focus on getting my thoughts away from that wonderful hour.
"I..."I couldn't talk. He looked at me and smiled that irresistable smile. The one that he gave to me after our first kiss, after our shower together. Fucking hell I was screwed.

He got up slowly and walked over to me.
"Frank I'm sorry. For everything. I-it may have been for Linda at first but then I realised just how amazing you are Frank. I realised that I l-love you. I really fucking love you."Gerard whispered the last bit so quietly I almost didnt hear it.

"Fuck Gerard... I'm sorry too... I probaby shouldn't have over reacted so much... I just- its a lot to handle okay? I'm sorry for being so stupid about it all but its only because I love you too. I felt like my heart was fucking shredding itself into sharp pieces then trying to carve their way out of me. It wasnt a nice feeling."

Gerard's face broke into a smile making me smile as well.
"Forgive and forget?"He raised an eyebrow at me and I nodded.
"I love you Gerard."I sighed happily.
"I love you too."Gerard grinned and kissed me. Nothing hot and steamy just- a kiss. It was perfect and it felt good to have his lips on mine again.

"We should go back out."Gerard sighed and rested his forehead against mine. I nodded slightly but neither of us made a move to leave.
"Okay we really need to go. We're playing again tonight and Di said she has some news for us so... Sounds good."Gerard smiled and went to open the door.

"Hey guys. Sorry for yelling at you."Gerard looked ashamed as he scuffed his feet.
"Its okay. Just keep yourself under control next time."Steven stood up and jingled his keys,"Where are we off to now? Anybody need rides anywhere?"

"Nah we're gonna go to The Magic Bean so we'll be fine. Thanks though."Gerard smiled.
"Lily what about you?"Steven turned to her.
"Uhh..."She looked to Gerard and I.
"You're coming."I smiled.
"Right then. Shall see you guys tomorrow."Steven saluted us all goodbye and left.

"I'm guessing you two are okay now?"Lily raised an eyebrow at our entwined fingers. Wait when did that happen?
"Yeah. We stopped being drama queens."Gerard giggled.

Gerards phone started ringing making us all jump slightly.
"Yo wassup! We were just about to le- ... Okay... Shit. Right. Okay we'll be there in 5."Gerard said into the phone and hung it up.
"We leaving now?"
"Mmhmm."Gerard grabbed his keys from the coffee table and started walking out the door. Lily and I shrugged shoulders at each other and followed him.

-time lapse-

"Why did you get this? It sounds like crap."I laughed as I flicked through the book.
"No not to read you fuckwit. Look at the title."Mikey snatched the book out of my hands defensively and held it up for everyone to see.

"Three Tales Of Chemical Romance... What about it?"Ray asked and took a gulp of his drink.
"Ugh you guys arent getting it. I was in the library looking for /band names/."Mikey made big eyes at us all.

"Shit. Thats... an odd sort of name for a band..."Bob cocked his head at the book as if he was studying prey or something.
"We could change it a little bit? You know like maybe Four Tales Of Chemical Romance? Cause there is 4 of us?"Gerard sat back in his set.

"Guys what about My Chemical Romance."Lily said quietly next to me.
"Okay who is this?"Bob focused on her properly.
"Lily. My best friend."I smiled.
"Well Lily you're a fucking genius and I think we have a band name."Ray slammed his hand down on the table, making us all jump, and grinned.

"Thank you."Lily smiled and stole some of my drink.
"That is really good what is it?"Lily looked at my drink for a sign but it was just a cup.
"Hazelnut latte. My favourite type of coffee."I smiled.

"So we're all agreed? My Chemical Romance?"Gerard looked round at the guys and they all nodded.
"Yo Di! We got a name!"Ray called over his shoulder. She came over to us and waited.

"My Chemical Romance."Mikey said to her.
"Thats fucking awesome! Okay lemme call Joe and he'll sort the posters out and then tonight we will announce you and then- oh shit my news for you guys. Eyeball Records might want to sign you."Diane clapped her hands together.

"Could today get any fucking better?!"Gerard shouted as Bob and Mikey high fived each other.
"My Chemical Romance... It fucking fits you guys."I smiled.
"Frank we want you in our band."Bob blurted.
"Dude we werent going to ask him yet."Mikey punched Bob on the shoulder.

They really wanted me in the band? That was fucking awesome.
"Are you sure?"I asked them.
"Yes. We need you. That day in music when you were playing with us was the best we have ever sounded.

"I dont have a guitar though."I said.
"You can play mine. I mean, I'm not really the best at it and I find it difficult to play and sing at the same time."Gerard smiled. I looked at Lily who was grinning.
"Okay. I'll join the band."I grinned. I felt like I was going to explode with happiness jesus christ.

"Wow. I think I need a picture of you all for the poster. I'll get one tonight when you guys are playing."Diane smiled and left us.
"Hey guys. Why is everyone grinning?"Pete suddenly appeared between Bob and Ray.

"Frank just joined the band, we have a band name and if we play good enough tonight we might get signed."Mikey stood up and grabbed a chair for Pete.
"Dude thats awesome! I told you Frank would say yes. Whats the name?"Pete kissed Mikey quickly and sat down next to him. Fucking cute.

"My Chemical Romance."Bob sighed happily and sculled the rest of his drink.
"Jesus thats an awesome name. Who thought of it?"Pete looked round at us and his eyes clocked Lily.

"Me."She smiled.
"And who are you?"Pete leaned his head on his hand and looked at her inquisitively.
"Franks best friend. Mikey found the book that inspired it all so dont give me all the credit."Lily pulled out the book out from underneath Pete's elbow.

"Ouch."Pete rubbed his elbow after banging it onto the table,"Three Tales Of Chemical Romance... Alright book that."
"Have you read it?"Mikey asked as Lily handed Pete the book.
"Yeah. For english last year."Pete flicked through it and put it down.

"Its the regular line up tonight guys so you might wanna get your gear."Di came over and rested on top of Rays head. It must have been comfy with his hair.
"Oh kay we really need to start getting ready."Gerard stood up as we noticed people starting to fill up the small coffee shop.

"Lily and I are gonna stay here. Thats okay right?"I said, secretly grabbing Lily's hand under the table as she started to get up. I wanted to talk to her.
"Yeah thats fine. I'll grab Daisy."Gerard smiled. Lily gave me a look but stayed out as everyone got up and left.

"Why are we staying here?"Lily asked turned to me.
"Gerard loves me."I grinned.
"What? Did he say it? Did you say you love him? Do you love him? Oh my god tell me everything!"Lily clapped her hands together. So I told her.

-time lapse-

"Alright. Probably the band most of you have been waiting for. Can I welcome to the stage, My Che-"
"Dont!"Gerard suddenly yelled from side stage.
"What?"Diane said into the microphone and looked to the side at us.
"We wanna say our name. I have this thing planned. Sorry."Gerard smiled.

"Okay sorry. Uhhh Gerard and his band!"Di yelled to cheers as we all walked on. I couldn't believe I was in this band now. It was amazing. I took my place next/in front of Mikey. Gerard was on the other side of Mikey next to Ray and Bob was of course at the drums.

"Good evening everyone. I hope you are all having a pleasant evening."Gerard grinned into the mic.
"Who's the new guy?!"Someone yelled from the crowd.

"Well! I am very glad you asked. Now, last night, it occurred to me that I have never properly introduced us to you. Those of you that come here for the music dont know us. So I'm gonna change that tonight!"Gerard grinned out at the crowd as a spotlight came on. Who the hell operated the lights and where?

I plugged Daisy in as Gerard went over to Ray.
"This is one Ray Toro. He plays the guitar and is one of the best I know of."Gerard said and gave the mic to Ray.
"Hey guys. Whats up?!"Ray laughed.
"This!"He moved to display Bob like a show person,"Is My very good friend Bobert Bryar on the drums! Say hi Bob."Gerard put the mic at Bobs mouth and grinned.

"Yo!"Bob shouted and saluted.
"Right here we have my brother and my best friend, Mr Mikey Way! He plays bass and I love him."Gerard gave the mic to Mikey.
"What are you wearing?"Mikey said slowly into the microphone. Everyone laughed but I saw who he was looking at. Pete had some sort of weird hat on at the back.

"And this lovely new fella over here. He is amazing at the guitar. He has awesome tattoos. Awesome music taste. Is fantastic!... In bed. And is also my boyfriend! Everybody give it up for our latest member Frank uh... Frank!"Gerard kissed me on the cheek as people cheered and clapped.

"And now, the moment you have all been waiting for... I, am Gerard Way! And we are... My! Chemical! Romance!"Gerard screamed. the crowd went insane. Fuck I was so pumped for this.

"Dude whats your last name?"Gerard grinned as the others finished setting up.
"I dont fucking know... Whats Linda's last name?"I asked as I re-positioned Daisy on my shoulder.
"Uhhmm Like- something to do with chocolate or something...."Gerard clicked his fingers,"Iero! Thats the one."
"Iero... Frank Iero... Wow that is weird."I smiled.

"Frank Iero!"Gerard shouted into the mic suddenly. I shook my head and smiled as Bob started a beat up and Mikey started with the bass.
"Our first song tonight is, as always, American Idiot."Gerard smiled.

And then we were off. It was amazing. I had never ever experienced playing with my band. It was just completely fucking awesome. Gerard ended with Cancer again because the crowd loved it just as much as I did.

"Great show guys. Love the name!"Some boy sat down next to Gerard. We were all exhausted.
"Thanks."Gerard smiled at the guy. He looked familiar. Oh! He was the drummer from that two man band.

"Spencer right?"I asked.
"Yeah. Jon's just getting us a drink before we go on."Spencer smiled and rattled the drumsticks I hadn't noticed in his hand.
"Sweet. Do you guys have any of your own songs?"Ray asked them.

"We're working on it."Spencer smiled as what must have been Jon sat down next to him.
"What are we working on? Band members? Songs? Our talent?"Jon joked as he gave Spencer a drink.
"Well yeah, all three."Spencer laughed along with everyone except me. I had an idea.

"Hey... What parts do you need?"I asked them.
"Uh... Bass and another guitar I guess. Maybe if one of them could sing would be good as well cause I'm not the best."Jon smiled then clued on to what I was asking,"Why, do you know some guys? Please tell me you do we are desperate!"

"Yeah... Dont you think Brendon and Ryan would be good with them?"I asked the guys. They all nodded as I took a sip of my drink.
"I'll talk to them tomorrow at school."I smiled.
"Thank you so much!"Jon gushed. Spencer sculled his drink and stood up.
"We're due for a show."Spencer grabbed Jons arm.

"Right, see you dudes later."Jon waved as Spencer dragged him to the stage where Di was announcing them.
"Frank we cant talk to Ryan and Brendon tomorrow."Gerard sighed and rested his head on my shoulder.
"Aye? Why?"I asked him, feeling the warmth of Gerard go to my cheeks.

"We have to go to court."Gerard stared at his drink moodily. Oh fuck.
"Oh... Well tomorrow night then when we are back at home."I reassured him, knowing fully well what his next sentence would be.
"Thats if I havent been dragged off to jail of course."Gerard said quietly as Spencer and Jon started playing a Smashing Pumpkins song.

"Gerard stop talking like that. Its not going to happen okay?"I put my arm around his shoulders.
"Gerard you know we're going to win right? Frank and I will testify and Deans past crimes will be against him, not with him."Lily squeezed Gerard's hand across the table kindly.

"Yeah. All except for one. The one where he killed my Mum."Gerard sighed.
"I think we should go home to bed."I sighed realising Gerard wasnt going to stop being moody.
"Yeah... Great way to spend my last night not behind bars."Gerard joked. We all gave him a look.

"What? It was a joke!"
"So funny."Mikey grumbled and stood up,"I'll see you tomorrow at the court house okay?"Mikey hugged him.
"Why are you coming?"Gerard asked over his shoulder as everyone else got up.

"Gerard you're going on trial. I aint missing this at all."Mikey blinked away the tears only I saw in his eyes, warning me with his eyes that no one was allowed to know. Jesus, he had fears that Gerard would go to jail.

"Yeah, we're all gonna be there okay?"Bob smiled. Gerard nodded as Ray came around and hugged him as well then Pete hugged him.
"Jesus guys, you say for me not to be all stupid about tomorrow but here you all are hugging me goodbye like its the last time ever. Stop it."Gerard grumbled at us all.

"Sorry. See ya tomorrow morning."Mikey waved as I took Gerard's hand and started tugging him out with Lily by my side. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.
