"Frankie? Frankie! FRANKIE!"
"What's wrong, Gee?" Gee ran into my arms and sobbed into my chest. "Nightmares again?"
"Yeah, I dreamed that you were breaking up with me, I never want to break up with you Frankie! Promise me you'll never break up with me!"
"I promise, but why does it distress you so much?"
"Because I love you Frankie, I want to be with you always."
"I love you too, Gee."

I woke up sweating to the sound of a knock on my apartment door. Tears filled my eyes. The knocking got louder. I opened the door in just my boxers. Gerard? Great, now I'm hallucinating Gerard knocking on my door, using the same special knock he always used. Knock knock pause knock knock knock.
"Go away! Stop torturing me and leave me alone! You're not real so go away!"
"It's me, Frankie."
"Gerard? What are you doing here?"
"We need to talk." I motioned for him to come inside as I set the kettle going.
"Black coffee as usual or have your taste buds changed?"
"Nope, still the same old Gerard." I poured the boiling water into the mugs and handed Gerard's coffee to him.
"So, you want to talk?"
"Yes, Frankie, I do."
"About what?"
"I never let you explain at the old apartment, I want to let you have that opportunity, but don't bullshit me."
"He was a friend from college."
"Who?"
"James. When our first break up happened I went to college and I met James and we had a thing for a couple of years. Then you invited me into the band and I broke up with him. The weekend before you know what happened, he came to me a wreck. He was on the verge of death so I looked after him a while."
"That doesn't explain why you jumped into bed with him."

"After my part-time shift at Starbucks ended, I was pissed and not myself, I had drank a lot of alcohol. I got home and James was there, I explained to him what happened and he started kissing my neck. He took advantage of the state I was in and then you walked in." Gerard was inside a black hole of thought.
"I'm sorry Frankie, that explains stuff but it still hurts, so much I can't take you back." Gerard stumbled out of my apartment, leaving three quarters of his coffee behind. I ran after him.
"Gerard please, come back to me!"
"I can't Frankie!"
"You said you loved me, you made me promise never to break up with you! You cried just because of a nightmare of this situation!"
"I never promised about me breaking up with you." Gerard said coldly, but with tears spilling over the brim of his eyes. I reached out to comfort him, like I always did, but this time, he didn't come running into my arms. Instead he ran away from me and into Helena's. Fucking bitch.
