Hold On Tight and Don't Look Back

Home Alone

Frank’s P.O.V

It was around 7:00 PM and we were all sitting at the dinner table eating some delicious spaghetti; I had offered to help make it but noooooo they wouldn't let me. Luckily I had stayed in my happy mood; which I was certainly glad about that. We were eating, casually talking about Mikey’s school project that he finished when the though came to me; I waited until Mikey was done to ask.

“Am I going to school tomorrow?” I directed towards Mr. and Mrs. Way. I haven’t even thought about school this past weekend I was thinking about other things and being with Gerard. They looked at each other before responding.

“We talked and we thought it might be good to take a couple days off; I don’t want to much stress to be put on you.” Donna explained. I nodded and turned to Gee who looked a little glum; I lightly kicked his leg and he looked to me and smiled. When we were done I offered to wash the dishes but again…they won’t let me. I sighed and headed towards the living room where Gerard and Mikey were watching T.V again. I sat next to Gee who immediately wrapped his arm around me.

“So why the long face during dinner?” I asked

“Because mom and dad go to work and I don’t want to leave you alone” he said

“I’ll be fine Gee” I assured him, He smiled and pulled me closer. We continued to watch T.V until his parents said it was time to go to bed; around 10:30 PM we got in our pajamas and he was spooning me. His arm tightly wrapped around me and his chest to my back.

“Goodnight Gee” I said while yawning, he smiled

“Night Frankie” he cooed. I closed my eyes and began to fall asleep.



I reach out as she flicks the match on the box letting a flame sit on the top; within seconds the kitchen erupts in orange and blue and my vision darkens. Then the screams start again.

I quickly sit up, luckily without yelling and cover my ears; Oh how I wish this would stop so much. Gerard bolts up to as I let out a gasp.

“Shh, hey, it’s okay. I’m right here” he soothes pulling me closer, I try to control my breathing as I let out a sob and slowly uncover my ears.

“Was it the same nightmare?” he asked softly.

“Ya” I respond quietly still lightly crying.

“It’s okay baby; It’s just a dream” he comforts. I nod and lay back down.

“Did you want me to get the sleeping pills?” he asks, I shake my head.

“I think I’m okay” I respond. He nods and pulls me closer. I take another shaky breath as I close my eyes; I just wish I didn’t have those dreams. I get it, they’re gone and they’re not coming back; but they don’t have to keep reminding me. I swear it’s going to drive me insane; I listen to Gerard’s heartbeat again and slowly drift off to sleep.

Mikey’s P.O.V

Little did they know I was listening again; Well not on purpose this time. The last time was because I hear Frank yell but this time I was just in the restroom when I heard a faint sob so I just listened in. I felt so bad for Frank; more than bad. I wasn’t sure but I could not even think of a life without my parents; Then with his being gone I couldn’t even imagine it. Walking out of the restroom I heard a faint sob from their room and silently pressed my ear up to the door.

“Shh, hey, it’s okay. I’m right here” Gerard’s voice said quietly; he was always one for comforting people; When I was little and had random nightmares he would always be there. Well I’m a teen now and I don’t need any comforting anymore so it’s best he’s here for Frank.

“Was it the same nightmare?” Gerard asked, Franks said yes and I tried to remember what his other nightmare was. Oh it was the one about his parents and them screaming; again this must be even worse for Frank.

“It’s okay baby; it’s just a dream. Did you want me to get the sleeping pills?” Gerard questions. I was about to move away when Frank says he’s okay; after that I only hear slight breathing. I sigh and head back to my room; I’m glad Frank has Gee to take care of him. I don’t think Frank would get through this on his own; I hear all the names in the hallway that they call Frank “Frank the Faggot” “Gay boy” it was the same every day. Then with Bryce being the one causing most of this it was even worse. No one even dared to mess with me because they knew Gerard was my brother and he would most likely beat them up; I would figure they wouldn’t do it with Frank since he was Gee’s boyfriend but I’m not sure. I could just hope that Frank gets through this.


Frank’s P.O.V

I woke up in a daze and looked at the clock; fuck it was only 2:25 AM. Gerard had moved a little apart but was still snuggled close to me. Why can’t I just get some decent sleep? I was still tired but for some reason something compelled me to reach for my phone; I grabbed it off the nightstand and turned it on, being careful of the light. I’m not sure what I was doing right now was stupid or not but I did it anyway; I went to my contacts and found the one that said “Mom” I took a breath and clicked call holding it up to my ear. It rang a couple times before I heard that dreaded automated voice.

I’m sorry but we could not connect your call; please try redialing the number” I went under the contact that said “Dad” and the same automated voice called out. I sighed and looked at my phone for a minute before thinking…What about the home phone? I didn’t have it in my contacts but I remember the number; I never had to call it since I was always the only one home. I dialed the number and again held it up to my ear; It rang forever and I thought I would get nothing but tears sprung to my eyes when my mother’s voice started speaking. It was a formal voicemail but it was enough for me.

Hello you have reached the Iero household; we cannot get to the phone right now so if you could leave your name and number we’ll try to get back to you as soon as we can.”

These weren’t sad tears; I’m not sure what kind of tears they were but they slowly ran down my cheek. It was just so overwhelming hearing her voice again; I know I wouldn’t have heard it till next week anyway but I would have seen her, but now…you know. I called again and closed my eyes just listening to her voice. I didn’t mean to but I sniffled due to the tears and it woke up Gee.

“You okay baby?” he mumbled, his voice thick with sleep.

“Ya” I responded turning over and snuggling into his chest. He went to caress my cheek but stopped when he felt the tears I forgot to wipe off; Gee quickly opened his eyes to look at me.

“What’s wrong baby?” he asked worried, I shook my head and dialed the number holding the phone up to his ear. He was confused wondering who I was calling but his face softened when he heard my mother’s voice. After she finished I pulled the phone away and gave a slight smile before putting the phone back on the nightstand and snuggling into his chest. He sighed and kissed my forehead.

“Go back to sleep, you have school tomorrow” I reminded him. He smiled and kissed me again before laying his head back on the pillow. I smiled and closed my eyes listening to his heartbeat, eventually falling asleep.

The alarm rang through the room and suddenly stopped; I guess Gee got to it first. The bed dipped as Gerard sat up; I started sitting up too before he turned to me.

“Go back to sleep sweetie; I’m just going to get ready” He said softly, I shook my head at him

“No it’s fine. I’ll make breakfast” I said with a smile. Standing up, Gerard all of a sudden pulled me back down making me gasp. He leaned over me making me giggle; lightly placing his lips on mine I couldn’t help but smile.

“Okay, I’m going to take a quick shower and you can make breakfast” he whispered. I nodded and stood up; heading downstairs I heard the shower turn on and went into the kitchen. Quickly starting the coffee I decided to make some scrambled eggs. It was 6:15 AM when I heard all three voices in the living room; I grabbed the mugs and started serving the food as they all entered the kitchen. Mikey and Gerard were dressed for school as Donna was dressed for work.

“Here you guys go” I said handing them each a coffee, they all gave a thanks before we sat down and ate our breakfast.

“Did you sleep good Frank?” Mikey randomly questioned.

“Ya, thanks” I responded a little confused. He nodded and went back to his food; okay that was a little weird. After Donna collected the plates she said she was going to drive them to school; We stood on the porch

“Mikey and I will wait in the car” she said as Mikey grabbed his backpack and walked off.

“See you later Frank” he called and I gave a wave. I turned to Gee who walked over to me and placed his hands on my waist pulling me closer.

“Are you sure you’re going to be okay by yourself?” he asked.

“I’ll be fine sweetie” I replied

“Fine, mom will probably be home by 2:00 PM and us by 3:15 PM. Just call me if you need anything okay?” I nodded.

“I’ll miss you” he cooed

“I’ll miss you too baby” I responded; Gerard quickly leaned in softly placing his lips on mine. I melted into the kiss and kissed back while he pulled me closer. We then heard a shutter of a camera phone go off.

“Got you guys!” Mikey called out the car window. Gerard rolled his eyes and looked to me who was just smirking.

“I’ll see you later baby” he said softly, I nodded and he gave another quick kiss before walking off.

“Mikey you better delete that!” he yelled walking to the car. I laughed and headed inside; closing the door I kind of just stared at the house for a moment. Eight hours until Donna gets home; what could I do till then? First I headed back upstairs and started getting dressed; In the middle of that my phone got a message. I picked it up and it was an unknown number; quickly opening it I saw that it was the picture Mikey took from the car. It held the caption…

It’s a pretty good picture ;) – Gee

I couldn’t help but smile; Since it was an unknown number I figured he was sending it from Mikey’s phone which I put into my contacts…I may have saved the picture also. I went back downstairs and sat on the couch turning on the T.V. I spent like an hour watching T.V before I got bored; I mean like ‘not wanting to take a nap but not wanting to watch this anymore’ bored. I got up and headed to the kitchen; I guess I could do the dishes from this morning.

Slowly but surely the dishes progressed into me wiping the counters, cleaning the table, sweeping and mopping all the floors, dusting the furniture, vacuuming the stairs and hallway carpet, cleaning Gee’s room, and was about to do a load of our laundry. I reached into his pants pockets to make sure nothing was in there when I pulled out a folded paper; I unfolded it to see that it was another drawing…of me. It was a full picture of me; I was standing up shirtless looking down with my hands behind my back, wearing skinny jeans that hung over my hips. It was amazing as always but it was missing one thing; I went upstairs and grabbed a light pink colored pencil out of Gerard’s desk. I lightly placed it on my stomach within the drawing and drew the faint lines that bore on my skin; I’m not sure why I did it but it didn’t seem like me without them. I placed the paper in my pocket and went to finish the laundry.

It was only 11:30 AM when I was done cleaning the house; I did not mind one bit. For some reason I like cleaning; it keeps me busy and distracted. I know people don’t usually spend five hours cleaning it but it felt like nothing. I made some leftover spaghetti for lunch and cleaned those dishes then proceeded to sit back on the couch; I guess I fell asleep because I opened my eyes to a sound of a door closing; I looked over and saw Mrs. Way coming inside.

“Sorry Frank; I was trying to be quiet” she apologized.

“It’s perfectly fine” I assured her, I took out my phone and Gee was right. She arrived home at 2:05 PM. Donna looked around the living room before narrowing her eyes.

“Did…Did you clean?” she asked; I nodded and she looked at me

“Frank the whole reason you stayed home was to relieve stress not put more on by cleaning” she objected. I just smirked.

“If I was putting stress on myself I wouldn’t have done it. I wanted to” I casually replied back. She gave a sigh and shook her head. Walking off into the kitchen she stopped.

“Frank?” she called; I stood up and walked her direction.

“Yes?” I asked

“How much cleaning did you do?” she questioned looking at the clean counters. I shrugged my shoulders.

“I don’t know, a lot?” I responded

“Frank you know I don’t want you doing all this work, you-“ she started explaining but I cut her off

“Mrs. Way” I began in my most formal voice. “You were so kind to let me live in your house; that does not mean I’m going to sit on my butt and do nothing all day. I demand to do chores and clean stuff like everybody else.” She stared at me in shock processing my words before a small smile grew on her face.

“Well then…Thank you Frank, but for now you go relax okay?” I nodded and headed back into the living room; sitting on the couch I took out my phone and randomly looked through it. Pictures, Contacts, and then I went to the call log. My thumb circled over the ‘home phone’ number debating whether to call it or not; I quickly pressed the button and put it on speaker phone. It rang a bunch of times before my mother began speaking; I casually listened placing the phone on my lap. When it was over I called again just listening to my mother speak; I guess I was so focused on the phone I didn’t realize Mrs. Way was literally standing next to the couch listening also; I turned to her and she sat next to me.

“Are you doing okay Frank?” she asked sympathetically. I shrugged my shoulders.

“I guess so… Is it wrong to be happy; like most people, when something happens like this they get sad don’t they? I mean I’ve had a couple episodes of sadness but it feels wrong to be happy?” I’m not sure where the question came from; it just kind of rolled off my tongue.

“Frank of course it’s not wrong; everybody has different ways of coping. Being sad, angry, and happy, it’s different for everyone.” She explained
“It’s even better when someone else is there that makes you happy; Like Gerard. I’ve seen you two; He makes you happy doesn’t he?” The question made me smile and I nodded.

“He does” I said

“Even though it’s a tough time we all have that one person who can make it feel like everything’s okay” she finished. This actually made me feel better; I love Gerard and he does make me feel like everything will be okay. I’ve never had this feeling with him but on the other hand I’ve never had a tragedy like this happen to me either…and Gerard is there to help me through it all. I turned to Donna with a smile.

“Thank you” I said to her, she gave a heartwarming smile and leaned in for a hug.

“Anytime Frank” She responded and we both directed our attention to the T.V
