Frank’s P.O.V
*Friday*

I hear the alarm erupt in its annoying sound and I open my eyes; I’m really dreading today. Yes I’m glad that they have a funeral but it was still my parent’s funeral. I mean I have a right to be in a bad mood today; I’ve had that nightmare the past 3 nights. That’s now 6 nights in a row and Gee as usual is very worried about that; me facing Gerard I see him turn the alarm off and stretch; he turns to me and brushes a piece of hair away.

“You ready for today baby?” he asks

“No” I whisper. He sighs and kisses me on the forehead; I stay laying there staring off into space for a couple minutes. I wonder what’s going to happen today; I doubt there’s going to be anyone I know. Are family hasn’t been in contact for a couple years and to be honest I don’t think they would bother to show up and check on me if they did hear what happened. I finally sit up and look at the two suits by the desk; it’s only 10:00 AM so we don’t need to put them on just yet. We both head downstairs where I go into the kitchen to make breakfast; my mind starts wandering off to the funeral stuff and I drop the pan on the floor. Luckily it was metal so it made a loud clattering noise throughout the room; A couple seconds later Donna comes in casual everyday clothes while I’m in my pajamas.

“Sorry” I mutter picking it up, my mind wanders again and it clatters on the stove. I sigh and wipe my face; I keep losing focus and I’m upset and I just want to lie down and cry. I feel a hand on my shoulder and look over to see Mrs. Way with a sympathetic facial expression.

“It’s okay Frank; I’ll make breakfast” she says, I nod

“Do you mind if I take a shower?”

“Go right ahead Frank” She assures

“I’LL TAKE ONE WITH” I hear Gee call from the living room. I look back to Donna and she nods again.

I slowly strip of my clothes and then stand under the warm water, making me feel better. I put my hair under letting the water fall down my face; a couple seconds later Gerard steps in and wraps his arms around me so he’s under the water too. I look down at the drain just thinking about today again.

“What’s wrong Frankie?” Gee asks softly

“A couple Fridays ago, I went on my first date. Last Friday was my first time having sex; this Friday I’m going to my first funeral…Oh how life is full of surprises” I say quietly. Gerard spins me around so I’m staring at his face, his hair in long stringy locks that stick to the sides of his cheeks.

“I know a lot of things have happened but I promise it will be okay” he says. I believe him, I do, but it’s just a sad day for me; I nod and lay my head on his chest. We stay like that for a couple moments before Gee tilts my head up

“Let’s get washed up, We have a long day today” I nod. Not wanting to, but I pull apart from his grasp.

I slowly put on my tie and stare in the mirror; I look at myself in my suit and sigh. The last time I wore this was last year for my cousins wedding, luckily it still fit nicely though. It was 1:15 PM and the ceremony doesn’t start till 2:00 PM so we had a little time; I walk downstairs where everyone is patiently waiting and dresses nicely. Gerard, Mikey, Mr. Way are all dressed in their suits while Mrs. Way is dressed in a long black skirt with a black blouse. They look at me and give a small smile, while Gerard walks over. He looks at me for a moment before he fixes my tie.

“It’s been a while since you wore a tie hasn’t it?” He asks, I nod

“About a year” I respond. Gerard smiles faintly and pulls it up so it’s at an appropriate tightness.

“Are you ready?” Gee questions. I sigh

“Yeah” I look towards Donna who nods and grabs the car keys

We sit in the car with me in the middle of Gee and Mikey but Gee has me pulled close so Mikey has more than enough room. I look out the window the whole ride just thinking about what’s going to happen. We pass by a park and I see a couple teens sitting on a bench I think to myself ‘What did you do Friday, I went to the mall and hung out with my friends’ then my response would be ‘Oh you know, just went to my parents funeral’

Before I know it we stop and I see at least fifteen other people in a group; I guess that’s us. Even for short notice the funeral was planned nicely; there were chairs all lined up, then a small podium in front of the already covered graves which were most likely my parents. We began to walk over and I feel a little nervous because as I guessed, I don’t know anyone here; I think all of them must be co workers or friends I never met. I walk over first and a woman sees me; she has hazelnut hair cut short to her ears and brown eyes. She’s also carrying a medium sized box.

“Hi you must be Frank, I’m Kari. The co-worker you talked to over the phone” She says kindly

“Hello, Nice to meet you. Thank you guys again for arranging all this” I said back shaking her hand.

“No problem…Here are your parents personal stuff from their desk” she says handing me the boxes. I gesture Gerard over who was talking to Mikey.

“Gerard this is Kari, the co-worker who talked to me over the phone. Kari this is my boyfriend Gerard” I explain; he sticks his hand out and greets her.

“These are my parents stuff; can you please put it in the car for now, I’ll look through it later?” I say

“Sure thing” He grabs the boxes and heads back to the car; I look around once more and sigh.

“You don’t know anyone here, do you?” Kari asks softly, I shake my head.

“Our family wasn’t close” I flatly say, She nods.

“Mostly just co-workers; your parents were really loved at the office” She says, I give a faint smile and before I know it someone is gesturing for us to sit down; I guess it’s starting.

~~~~~~~~~~

Of course I cried; well everyone did. I tried not to cry as much because I didn’t want all these people who I didn’t know to see me cry like a bitch. After the funeral was over all the co-workers came up to me telling me how kind, caring, sweet, hardworking, loveable, gentle people my parents were and wishing me luck for my future; I gave them a small smile and a thanks in return. Once some people packed up the chairs and everything was gone the place was empty; now it was my turn to cry my eyes out. I turned to the others who were standing close by

“Do you mind if I stay a couple more minutes?” I asked quietly

“Of course Frank; Take as long as you need” Donna assured; I nodded and looked back to the grave which was only about ten feet away. I took a short breath before walking over; I sat down cross-legged on the short grass below me staring at the plot in front f me. It was wide and held both their names and the dates, then a small encryption; I just stared at it before I took another breath.

“Hey mom, h-hey dad” I started; I could feel the tears prick in my eyes.
“I…I miss you guys, a lot. I mean you wo-would have still been on your trip but at least I would have kn-known that you were safe” I was full on crying now.
“I’m s-sorry you guys…I never said I love you enough; wh-whenever I saw you I should have said that but I didn’t, now it’s too late. I’m so sorry…. I need you guys here, you’re never going to see me graduate or see me get married; you’re never going to see your grandkids…Nothing, you’re gone and you’re never coming back. I need you here…but you can’t be; I love you guys so much. It’s too late I guess.”

I put my head in my hands and quietly cried; I’m positive they heard all of that but I don’t care at all. I just needed to say something; I just needed to get it off my chest. A couple seconds later I feel someone rubbing my back; I look up through blurred eyes and see Gerard kneeling next to me with the same worried expression. I lean my head on his shoulder and stare at the grave plots; Rereading the words over and over.

Mikey’s P.O.V

I can say that this is literally the most heartbreaking thing I’ve seen; I’m not sure if he knows we can hear him but just listening to him talk about how his parents will never be at his graduation or wedding just… I can’t even explain it. Of course I want my parents to be at my graduation next year or if I do end up getting married someday I would want them to be there; but Frank…his parents are gone and by the looks of it no one he knew showed up here. I glanced over to see my mother sprouting a couple tears at Franks words; then Gerard obviously couldn’t stand seeing Frank in that state so he went over to comfort him. I’m standing here watching with sadness; I mean I care about Frank too. He makes Gerard happy and I’ll do anything to keep his happiness

Frank’s P.O.V

After a minute I lean off of Gee’s shoulder and try to compose myself; I wipe my eyes which didn’t help much because I know there all red and puffy. I fixed my hair and wiped off my suit; I stood up and looked to Gerard who was watching my actions. I nodded and he took my hand while we walked back to the others; I saw Mrs. Way quickly wipe off a tear but give a small smile.

“You ready Frank?” Mr. Way asked.

“Yeah” I responded while we all got into the car. We all arrived home and I sat on the couch and closed my eyes glad to be back home; I felt the cushion dip next to me and I placed my head on their shoulder thinking it was Gerard. I looked up and realized it was Mikey; I quickly sat up.

“Sorry Mikey; I thought you were Gee” I say, he chuckles

“It’s fine, Gerard is getting changed…You okay Frank?” he asks sympathetically.

“Ya I’m okay; Just a little emotional. Glad I got you guys though” I joked.

“Mostly Gerard” Mikey commented

“Well yes him but mostly you guys too; like letting me stay here…That is more then I could ever ask for right now. You guys don’t have to feed me or do anything but you do, and I really appreciate it.” I smiled at him; He smiled back and gave a side hug before we heard the thumping down the stairs and Gerard appeared in regular clothes. Mikey scooted over so he could sit next to me, which he did.

“You okay?” he asked softly

“Yeah, I’m good” I smiled

“Did you want to take a nap; it’s been a long day” I nodded and we headed up the stairs; as I stripped to my boxers Gee turned to me.

“I’m going to talk to my parents real quick; I’ll only be a couple minutes. You lay down though” He said; I gave a slight confused face but I nodded and laid on the bed. He smile and walked out the door; As soon as I closed my eyes I fell asleep.

---

I covered my eyes because I was approached with a blinding bright light; oh please don’t be that dream again. When I opened my eyes I realized I was still in our room; I was staring at myself. What, am I dead?

“Frank” I heard someone say behind me; I turned around and gasped as the people standing there were my mom and dad.

“M-mom?” I said like it wasn’t true

“Come here sweetie” she said opening her arms for my embrace; I slowly walked over and hugged her. She was warm and comforting just like I remember.

“I’m not dead am I?” I questioned trying not to cry

“No sweetie you’re not dead” She laughed

“Then how-“ I questioned but was interrupted.

“It doesn’t matter; We just needed to talk to you” She said softly, Tears ran down my cheek.

“Honey don’t cry” she said pulling apart from the hug and wiping them off.


“But- You guys promised you would come back” I cried

“I know baby, were so sorry. I know it was no one’s fault but it kind of is ours…We were too busy with work to spend time with you and we never did anything together as a family; We should have been there more. I’m sorry baby” she said pulling me back in for a hug I cried into her shoulder for a moment before I pulled away.

“Why are you here?” I asked

“We know you wanted to say a last goodbye…so here we are” I nodded and wiped my tears away.

“I just wish you could still be here…You’re not going to see me graduate-“

“We heard you at the funeral baby; we were there. We can still be there; not physically but we will be there” I nodded.

“I just don’t know what to do?” I said

“I know it’s going to be different but you can make it; You are going to graduate, you are going to get married if you want, you are going to get a child if you want…But we promise you that you can make it” I wiped another tear away and nodded; She reached over and lifted up my shirt exposing the scars.

“And these…We’re so sorry baby”

“It’s not your fault…it was everyone else’s” I explained

“But again we should have been there” she said softly, I just nodded not knowing what to say. At that the door opens and I quickly turn around to see Gerard; he looks at my sleeping, snoring body and chuckles.

“That was fast” he whispers with a smile; It was kind of awkward watching Gee strip to his boxers with my parents right there but I don’t think they cared. Gerard crawled into the bed and wrapped his arm around me pulling me closer.

“I love you baby” he whispers kissing me on the forehead before laying his head down and closing his eyes; I can’t help but smile at his actions. I turn back around and see my mother grinning ear to ear.

“He does that every night” she says, I give a confused face before I realized.

“Have you been watching me all this time?”

“Of course we have sweetie…We have also seen the way he has comforted you through this; He’s a very sweet boy” She says smiling; I can’t help but smile more.

“You love him?” she asks, I nod
“Young love…People say that you’re too young to know what love is but I think it’s very possible that people can. And he obviously has very much affection for you. We’ve also watched the whole house; I’m glad Donna took you in. This is a very nice family and they treat you well” she smiled. We stayed silent before my mother spoke up again.

“You’re using protection right?” My eyes went wide at the question and I could feel my face turn red; Even my father who was silent the whole time gave her a surprised glance.

“What I’m just making sure” she laughed; my parents are literally contacting me from the dead and were talking about if my boyfriend and I are using protection. I give a quick nod and she smiles.

“I love you guys” I blurt out, they both smile.

“We know baby; we will always know” she said; my father then steps forward.

“Now Frank; I know it sucks not having us around but you are so great in many different ways and I want you to know that we both love you very much. This might be the last time you see us this way but we will always be there for you; do you understand?” he explains.

“Yeah I understand”

“Good, Now come here” He pulled me in for a hug which lasted awhile before pulling away.

“Okay Frank I think it’s about time we leave” my mother said; I didn’t want them to…Well I never want them to but I knew they couldn’t stay forever. I nodded and they smiled at me; my mother pulled me in for another hug.

“I love you Frank, Now live your life, be in love, go crazy” she laughed, I smiled and pulled away.

“Bye mom, bye dad” I said

“Bye Frank” They ended before another blinding light crossed my vision.

I opened my eyes to reveal myself laying on the bed; Gee’s body pressed into mine. I smiled widely at whatever just happened; I’m not sure whether to say dream or not but I loved it. I got to hug them and talk to them one last time and that was just what I wanted; I rolled over and snuggled into Gerard’s chest.

“You okay baby?” he questioned, his voice still alert so he hadn’t fully fallen asleep yet.

“Just great” I whispered with a smile; Gee looked at me before smiling himself and pulling me as close as he could. I took a deep breath and slowly fell back asleep.
