"Well are you coming in?"Gerard asked me from the open car door. We had just pulled up outside of Petes after a three minute car ride of silence. Gerard was waiting for my answer.
"Oh I uh I guess so."I muttered and quickly undid my seatbelt. I followed him up the front steps and through the door. The place smelt like sweet potato pie. My stomach rumbled as Gerard marched up to his room.
"Hey Gerard. Dinner will be ready soon. Would you like us to keep you some for later or do you want it now? Oh hello Frankie."Petes mum appeared in the doorway to the kitchen.

"Uh if you could just keep some for me, I have to go back out later."He smiled and glanced at me before walking into his room.
"Will you be here for dinner?"She asked me as I rushed after Gerard.
"Ah no I'm going back to the house to have some. Thats where Gerard is going, I think."I said. He had said later. Like he wasnt going back out for a while.
"Alright well try to be quiet you two."She called after me. Oh god. What did she think were doing?
"We will."I said for lack of anything better to say.

I took two steps into Gerards room and stopped. He wasnt in here. I could have sworn he went in here. I turned arouned at the moment that Gerard shut the door. he was hiding behind it.
"Gerard what the fu-"I started to say but he was already kissing me, pushing me back to his bed. He pushed my jacket off my shoulders as I grabbed his collar, squeezing it tight. He moved his mouth away and made me whine in the lack of contact.

"Frank dont- I need this okay? This has nothing to do with anything I just- as much as it hurts me to say this and hurts you to hear it, this is just like a hook up okay?"
"Yeah whatev- what?"I pulled back and looked at him. He was serious.
"I'm sorry I just need this too much."He looked down at where my hands had dropped of their own accord to rest on the loops of his jeans.
"Gerard I-"
"Look it was either you or running to Jade."He said cruelly. I flinched and fell back onto his bed, letting go of him.

"I shouldnt have said that. I'm sorry."He said.
"I thought... Because you wanted this I thought... You wanted m- me. That you had f-forgiven me or something."I looked up at him. His face was even more flushed than it had been in the car.
"Frankie I'm sorry... But... I... Now that I think about it... This is similar to what I did to you... With Jade and... We- We're just as bad as each other."He giggled. I couldnt help but smile at him.

"Yeah except I forgave you."I mumbled.
"Yeah after like 3 days of giving me the cold shoulder you dork."He smiled as he sat down on my lap.
"True..."
"Luckily I'm not such a dork."He leaned in and kissed me.
"Does this mean what I think it means?"I asked hopefully as he cupped my face in his hands. He looked at me searchingly before breaking out into a smile and nodding.
