Hold On Tight and Don't Look Back

Frank’s P.O.V
*Wednesday night*

Another boring day of school passed and then I finally finished my stupid homework; now it was 8: 15 PM and we were eating dinner which was tacos. Gosh today went by really slow; school had nothing but people making fun of me in algebra…like seriously, do they not realize that I don’t fucking care; if there trying to make me cry or break down, or even fight back…it’s obviously not going to happen. Anyway Gerard made me laugh every minute I was with him so that was awesome; but overall boring day.

After we finish eating, as usual, his parents go upstairs and Gee, me , and Mikey go to sit in the living room.

“Do you want to watch a movie?” Mikey asks us and we respond with a ‘sure’.
“Kay, I’ll make popcorn you pick a movie” he says walking back into the kitchen; we go over to the movie case and look through for anything good.

“Definitely horror movie” Gee says and I nod, I’m in that kind of mood.

“What about Sinister?” he says pulling it out

“Sure” I smile going to sit on the couch; he quickly puts it on and plops himself next to me wrapping his arm around my waist. I lean into his shoulder and a moment later Mikey comes back out with two bowls of popcorn; he hands one to us and goes to sit in the chair with his. Gee pushes play on the remote and we sit in silence as the movie begins. I end up getting scared by the jump scares in the middle and Gerard chuckles.

“Is little Frankie scared of the monster?” he says in a baby voice and I smack his arm giving him a playful glare while gives a cheesy smirk. By the end of the movie it was 9:30 PM and we decided to go to watch a bit of TV…now it was 10:30 PM so we decided to hit the hay; saying goodnight to Mikey we headed upstairs and stripped to our boxers. Once on the bed Gerard pulled me closer so he was spooning me and I smile.

“Night Frankie” he says kissing the side of my head

“Night Gee” I say closing my eyes and soon falling asleep.

~~~~~

I’m awoken by a weird feeling in my stomach; my head hurts and my nose is runny…oh gosh I don’t feel well at all; my whole body is cold and hot at the same time. I peel the blanket off from the heat but I end up rubbing my arms from being cold; Gerard is still against my back presumably sleeping. My stomach quenches and I think I’m going to be sick; I jump out of bed and run out of the room towards the bathroom. I barely have time to turn on the light before I fall on my knees throwing up into the toilet; well this fucking came out of nowhere. I was feeling fine before I went to bed; my mind wanders towards school and I remember seeing this one kid in Algebra with a stuffy nose…Can I kick his ass for making me sick? A couple seconds later Gerard rushes in and rubs my back; I throw up, what looks like dinner, again and hear another door open. Fuck now I’m waking people up; I glance over and see that Donna is by the door…I realize that I’m still in my boxers and feel a little self conscious but I guess I’m going to have to deal with it; Once I feel like I’m done I slowly unbury my head from the toilet and flush it.

“Gerard why don’t you get him a glass of water?” she says, I see him nod and walk out the door; I stand up and lean against the counter.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to wake you” I apologize

“It’s okay Frank” she assures. She goes into the cupboard and pulls something out then hands it to me; I realize it’s a thermometer. I turn it on and stick it under my tongue closing my eyes for a second; ughh I just want to lie on the floor right now. Gerard comes back up and places the water next to me and I give a weak smile; once I hear the beep she takes the thermometer out and looks at it before shaking her head.

“101.7, obviously no school for you tomorrow, for now I’ll give you some medicine and you get some rest okay?” I nod and take a small sip of the water trying to make that horrible taste get out of my mouth; she left and went downstairs to get the medicine. Gerard walked over to me and pressed his hand against my forehead before pulling away and grabbing it.

“IT BURNS” he pretends to be in pain, making me giggle.

“What time is it?” I ask considering I had no time to check the clock before I ran out of the room.

“It was 2:40 AM” he says and I sigh; Mrs. Way comes back up with a small cup of red medicine and I hesitate to drink it because the people who make fruit flavored medicines obviously do not know what fruit tastes like; I press it to my lips and just quickly knock it back and the first thing that happens is that horrible medicine taste.

“Gosh that’s horrible” I mutter handing the small cup back to her and going for the water.

“Okay, try getting some sleep” I nod and me and Gee both head back to the room.

“Did you want me to lie on the couch?” I ask

“Why would you do that?” he asks in confusion

“So I don’t get you sick” I respond

“It’s fine, go ahead and lie down” he smiles; I gently lay on the bed not wanting to mess with my weird feeling stomach even more. Gee comes behind me and rubs my arm; he leans over about to kiss me when I push him away.

“No, I don’t want to get you sick” I protest…again, he sighs and ruffles my hair.

“You look horrible” he says

“Thanks” I playfully roll my eyes
“Get some sleep, you still have school” I remind him and he nods laying his head down; I face the other way so I’m not breathing on him and close my eyes. The queasiness in my stomach goes down a little but is still kind of there…oh god I hate being sick, and it sucks because it came out of nowhere. It’s not like it was a first stuffy nose then progressed to a fever nope it just came all at once; I’m awake for like another ten minutes before sleep finally comes over me.

~~~~~

I wake up to the 6 AM alarm that is quickly turned off by Gerard; I still feel like complete and utter shit right now. I still have a fever and my throat hurts; my body is still cold and hot; well at least I haven’t thrown up again. I feel Gee shuffling around the room and I look over to the dresser where he’s slipping on his clothes; He smiles and walks over kneeling next to me.

“You feeling any better?” he asks softly and I shake my head; he places his hand up to my forehead again feeling the heat and sighs.

“One moment” he quickly gets up and walks out the room; I get confused on what he’s doing. About two minutes later he comes back and shuffles off his clothes.

“I asked mom and she’s letting me stay here and take care of you” he smiles climbing back into bed

“Aww, you didn’t need to do that” I coo

“Too late, now you just relax until you feel somewhat better” he says and I nod closing my eyes again; I feel his hand run through my hair and I smile at the touch….10 minutes….20 minutes go by and I still haven’t fallen asleep; I open my eyes and sigh. Gerard who was waiting for me to fall asleep stops moving his hand and looks to me

“I don’t think I can fall back asleep” I say and he nods

“Okay, is there anything you want to do?”

“Can we just watch a movie on the laptop?” I ask not in the state to get up and do things

“Sure…any specific movie?” he says getting up to get the laptop

“No horror, comedy maybe?” He miles and nods going through the small movie collection he has in his room.

“How about Ferris Bueller’s Day Off?” he smirks

“Perfect for the occasion” I giggle and he sets it up on the side of the bed; once done he comes around behind me and starts spooning. I would complain about him being so close and getting sick but he would most likely do it anyway no matter what I said; after a couple minutes there was a knock at the door.

“Come in” Gerard said; the door opened and Donna came in

“Okay you guys; me and Mikey are heading out. Call me if you need anything; Frank make sure you try to eat something today, there’s some soup in the pantry. Hope you feel better; see you guys” she said, we gave a wave and she left as we turned are direction back to the TV; the thought of food right now did not sound good. I guess it was because I threw up all my food last night; we watched the movie and laughed a couple times until I began sleepy again and yawned.

“Go to bed baby, you need to rest” Gerard says turning off the movie and putting the computer on the ground; I nod and get more comfortable. I hope this sickness passes soon; I close my eyes with the comfortable feeling of Gerard’s hands running through my hair and finally fall back asleep.
