The Ghost of You

Frank's POV
I felt pretty bad. Why didn't I protect him? I should have be there and impeded that Justin cheated on him. He does not deserve this pain. I knew Justin and I knew what kind of person he was. It was my fault. I should have told him.
Nevertheless I was happy that he was here. It was like he completed me. I was broken for such a long time and he was the missing piece that made me whole again.
I comforted him as good as I could. I had bought him some comics and we read them together.
Suddenly he asked me how I died. I was shocked I never really thought he would ask. I was pretty naive thinking he would just talk to me and ignoring the fact that I was dead. I wasn't sure what I could tell him. So I said that I got bullied when I was younger and that I got depressed and killed myself.
I felt really guilty. I mean I was depressed but this boy had to go through so much pain and he was still here. He was alive and I wasn't.
He started to cry when I told him about my suicide.
I hugged him and tried to calm him down.
We spend the whole day talking and cuddling.
I looked at the red haired boy. He stopped crying even though I could see the pain in his eyes. I could see all the scars and bruises. All the memories that made him lie awake every night.
His mother, his brother, his father and now Justin and Me.
I'd do anything to stop his pain.
We cuddled on the bed until he fell asleep. I just watched him. He looked so peaceful, almost happy.
I never saw something as beautiful as him.
His red hair framed his face and I kissed his forehead.
His phone started to vibrate. I took it cause I did not want to wake Gee up.
When I looked at the screen and I saw Justin's name.
I hesitated to read the text but I did.
“Gerard, please come back
I love you and I'm so sorry.
Please don't leave me”
I was shocked. How did he dare to text him. He broke his heart and now he had the guts to crawl back?
I was angry and really had to concentrate not to lose control.
And I decided to delete the text.
