Good Boy

"Lindsey" I breathed. I flung myself from the sheets and tried to move toward her. She moved back, tears filled her eyes. She looked down at me to see that I was only in boxers.

"Its not what you think, I swear"

"Really? Gerard? What does it look like? Cause it looks like you just slept with your 'roommate'?" Tears started to drop from her face and pain shot through me just seeing that.

"Please Lindsey I didn't I swear just let me explain" I sobbed out. Tears started to fill my eyes and I couldn't help but want to die. Lindsey glanced over to my bed and anger shot through her eyes. I turned to see that the venomous look was shot toward Frank, who was sitting up in the bed with wide eyes. Thankful the blanket covered him. I knew that he was not wearing anything under the sheet, he had only just turned back into a human.

"Fine. Explain." She hissed.

"You remember those witchcraft books?" I questioned. I didn't exactly know how to start explaining this, but I guess there was good enough.

"Yeah?" she raised an eyebrow and wiped away a tear "Well I got them because I was doing some......... research" I said. Her face went pale and her eyes became wide.

"Oh god, How long have you known?" Her hand came up to clasp around her mouth. She clenched her eyes tight and a few more tears dripped out. I stood for a moment in complete confusion.

"Known what?" I asked.

"Oh don't play dumb with me! What are you trying to do Gerard? First you cheat on me and now your mocking me? God! You think I want this? You think I want to be this way? I didn't choose who I am!" She shouted at me and turned to leave. I ran toward her and grabbed her by the shoulders. I spun her around and looked her straight in the eye.

"Lindsey. What. Are. You. Talking. About?"

"Don't play dumb Gerard! You know I'm a witch" she shouted in my face. My eyes grew wide and I suddenly couldn't feel my body. I had gone completely numb. My girlfriend (and best friend) was a fucking witch.

"W-what?'' was all I was able to stutter out.

"Wait... you didn't know?" she asked in confusion. All her anger escaping her body.

"N-no" I let go of her shoulders and stumbled back. I leaned against the wall to try and support myself from falling. I felt a presence beside me and felt Franks strong hand grip my shoulder. I looked over to see he was clothed now. He looked just as confused as I did.

"Then why did you have all those books?" she asked. I noticed her glare at Frank. He must have seen it too because he quickly let go of my shoulder. I stood up, fealing slightly better and able to stand on my own.

"I'm a dog" Frank said. "Gerard's trying to help me undo the curse" He said quietly. Lindsey glanced between me and Frank and stood up straighter. This was all news for everyone. I ran my fingers through my hair ands stumbled back to the bedroom. I wasn't able to speak just yet, I was too in shock. Lindsey was a witch. If she had told me this before Frank told me about Jamia, I would've attacked Lindsey in a hug because it was cool. But now I was unsure. I yanked on some clothes and returned to the living room. Frank sat on the couch and Lindsey stood by the bedroom door.

"So..... you didn't sleep with Frank?" she asked nervously after a while of awkward silence.

"I didn't sleep with him..."

"So you didn't cheat?" she tried to clarify. I bit my lip and closed my eyes. I sucked in a breath and opened my eyes again. I didn't need to say yes, she already knew. she closed her eyes and turned, heading toward the door.

"Lindsey wait"

"Gerard, please, I need time to think" she quickly left, slamming the door behind her. I sunk to me knees and began to sob. Frank came up beside me and sat down on the floor. I felt his arms wrap around me tight and I leaned into the touch.
