Frank’s P.O.V


“Frank you are not staying here for Thanksgiving” Mrs. Way urged as I stood in the kitchen; Mikey was eating breakfast and Gee was still sleeping…I had obviously stayed the night after Gerard begged me around 6:30 pm last night to come over and cuddle with him; it wasn’t to my surprise that I ended up staying the night though

“I’m not family though” I replied. It was almost Thanksgiving and Jenny had invited Gerard’s entire family over to their house.

“They invited you too and I think Elena would love to meet you” Elena, I learned was Gerard’s grandmother; he hasn’t seen her in a long time so when he heard she was going to be there for Thanksgiving he was more than ecstatic and would not stop talking about her. I do love listening to him talk about her though, I heard she is what got Gee interested in drawing and arts; she seems very nice and it would be nice to meet her as well. The reason I wasn’t sure of going is Thanksgiving is supposed to be with family, I just feel like me barging in and eating their food doesn’t seem right.

“I know, just seems odd” I mumble

“Sweetie, everyone will love you and you get to meet our family, they want to meet you” She stops for a moment before she adds “and I think Gerard would be all to grateful if you came too”
I nod because I know he would; I think for a moment before lightly smiling

“Okay I’ll go” She smiles back and Mikey cheers with a mouthful of food; I kind of forgot he was right there

“That’s great sweetie…now can you go wake up Gerard so he can eat before it gets cold” I nod and head out of the kitchen up the stairs; I open the door to the room and see Gee still shirtless snuggling a pillow. I crawl in the bed with him and kiss his nose; a smile appears on his face while he wraps an arm around me

“Morning sweetie” I coon as he gives a cute groan

“Hey” his husky morning voice calls out; I grin and kiss his nose again,

“I got a little problem” he whispers

“and what would that be?” I say kissing his cheek

He opens his eyes and glances them down to the tented sheets “Maybe you can put those lips somewhere else” I roll my eyes but can’t help but giggle

“Your mom says you need to eat”

“You can eat something too” he smirks

“No get up, we have school soon” I say pushing his shoulder; he groans loudly and rolls to his stomach burying his face into the pillows

“Fine I’ll be right down” I hum and get off the bed closing the door behind me; he’ll most likely take care of his problem himself. Heading back into the kitchen I sit at the table and begin my breakfast before school starts; it was Wednesday, the last day before Thanksgiving break so that was what I was Thankful for. Then on Friday is when we’re going to Jenny’s house for Thanksgiving feast thing; this week won’t be so bad

~~~Thanksgiving~~~

We arrived on the street to Jenny’s house and see a lot o cars parked on each side of the road; great now where can we park. We were dressed casual yet formal with button up shirts and nice jeans but nothing to outgoing, As art of the family too Mr. Way was driving looking for anywhere to park that was close by. Sooner than later we discover a spot just a few housed down and park right there.

“Thanks for coming again sweetie” Gerard says as we get out of the car

“It’s not a problem, I get to meet your family” I respond shrugging my shoulders

“Well you met most of them at the baby shower, here there will be a few cousins but I mostly just want you to meet my grandmother” He smiles as we start walking down the sidewalk

“Sounds great” I exclaim not sure what else to see, I am happy but kind of nervous at the same time; we get to the door and Mr. Way knocks and we wait a few moment before the door opens to reveal Jenny in a nice dress

“Hey guys, so good to see you again, come on in” She grins as she hugs Donald, Donna and Mikey; then she gets to us

“Hey Frank, hey Gee” she says hugging us both

“Hey, thanks for inviting me over” I say

“Of course, we have more than enough room and food” she laughs, I nod and she closes the door behind us as we step in

“Is grandma here yet” Gerard asks eagerly

“Yes, Elena is in the living room” she says gesturing to the other room; he grins and grabs my hand dragging me with him into the room. I look around and see Claire who surprisingly didn't notice me yet playing on the floor and Gerard’s aunts Kathryn and Wendy sitting on the couch; I look over and see an elderly lady, who must be Elena, staring at us.

“Grandma” Gee squeals and gently hugs her

“Hey Geebear, how have you been” her voice says, it’s sweet and a little quiet

“I’ve been great, I want you to meet someone though” he pulls apart and looks to me; now I start to become nervous

“Grandma, this is my boyfriend Frank” He gently holds my hand as he moves me closer towards him; I swallow the lump in my throat and stick my hand out

“Hi Elena, I’m Frank…it’s nice to meet you” I gently smile not to seem as nervous as I actually was.

“Hello” she starts and shakes my hand, hers are small and wrinkly but soft “It’s nice to meet you too; here sit, she pats the spots next to her and we both sit down on the cushion. I didn’t know what to say so I just let Gee and Elena talk until I heard my name be mentioned

“Frank sweetie, Donald told me what had happened, how are you holding up, she said in her sweet voice; I was confused for a moment before I realized she was talking about my parents

“Oh I’m doing okay, way better than I was when it happened” I answered honestly, she nodded and took my words in

“I understand and don’t understand at the same time” see started “When my parents passed away I was devastated, that I understand…But I could never understand what it’s like to have parents pass at a young age” she finished

“It is different, they’re not going to be there for certain things in your life...but they will be there” I added at the end, she smiled

“Of course they will sweetheart, they always will be” She gently said, Gerard gently grabbed my hand and squeezed, I smiled at him and then smiled at Elena.

“Enough of the sad talk, it’s almost time to eat and I am dying to have some green bean casserole” We all laughed as Gerard helped her elderly self-off the couch and lead her towards the kitchen; this is going to be a good Thanksgiving.

Notes
