Hold On Tight and Don't Look Back

Gerard’s P.O.V
*3 Days Later*

It was finally Friday and I was taking Frank on a date; I couldn’t wait to go. Truth is I really like Frank and he makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. But like we agreed, we’ll take it slow. It feels good just to take it slow, not rushing to have sex…I mean it would be nice; Frank probably has a real nice body but I’m more than fine just waiting it out, He’s so self conscious about himself, I wish I could make him see that everything is fine and there is nothing wrong with him. The only thing I wish I could change is the insults being thrown at him. Frank says it only happens when I’m not around; when he is with me no one bats an eye towards him but when in class alone it never stops. That just gives me another excuse to be around him more. Luckily Bryce and his friends have stayed away; they still throw us glares in the hallway and whisper to each other but who cares.

It was the end of the school day and Frank decided to change back into his other clothes since his P.E ones were sweaty. After he came out he was looking a little nervous. Well this was his first date…Ever. He puts his clothes in his locker at a quick pace and closes it. He looks to me and gives a slight smile; I smile back and walk towards him. These past couple days Frank has gotten more comfortable with me, He can tell me things without being so nervous or joke about something and laugh without covering his mouth or looking down afterwards. I love it.

“Are you okay?” I ask him

“Y-ya” he stutters out and I know he’s lying

“Are you nervous about today?” I say calmly, Frank nods and looks down ashamed. “Hey its okay, it’s you first date and everything is going to go fine” Frank looks up and his hazel eyes give a small gleam. I smile at him and he grins.

“Do you mind if we stop by my house…I actually need to tell my mom that I’m going?” I ask kind of embarrassed.

“Ya, Of course…Are you going to tell her it’s a date or just hanging out?”

“Umm…What did you want me to tell her?” I ask, I didn’t even think about that.

“You can tell her it’s a date…I don’t mind” he gives a smile and I nod my head. After a few moments of jut staring at each other we realize that we’re the only ones left in the locker room.

“You ready?” he asks, I nod and we start walking to my house. After a short walk in relaxing silence we arrive at my house; we enter and I hear shuffling from the kitchen. Frank stays by the door and I head in. I see mom and Mikey, Mikey got here fast. My mom is making some pot roast while Mikey is doing the dishes. When I walk in my mother looks up.

“Hey sweetie, Pot Roast is almost done” She says in a kind voice.

“About that…I’m actually going on a date tonight with Frank” At that line Mikey shot up and almost dropped the plate. My mom on the other hand was smiling so wide I thought her face was going to split in two. She comes up and bear hugs me.

“That’s great sweetie” She says happily, All of a sudden she walks out of the kitchen into the living room where Frank was waiting,

“MOM?!” I yell to her. She walks over and pulls Frank into a hug; He gives a look of surprise but ends up smiling. I face palm myself because of my mother’s actions; she finally lets go of Frank and turns to me.

“Where are you guys going?” she asks

“We’re going to the new pizza place downtown” I respond quickly

“Okay be home by 10….Be safe” She adds, I groan and grab Frank’s hand dragging him out the door. Once we were a couple feet away from the house I stopped and turned to Frank.

“Sorry about her” I said apologetically, He looks at me and smiles

“It’s okay” he soothes.

We start walking down the road; the thing I like about this town is you could really just walk anywhere. After a couple moments of walking next to each other I decide to do something. I reach for Frank’s hand and intertwine our fingers. Frank who is looking straight forward smiles and tightens his grip. Since we decided to head over there straight after school it was only 4:30 PM when we arrived. Walking into the pizza place we get a couple glances at our interlocked fingers but luckily nothing more. We sit in an empty booth near the back and pick up the menu

“Wow, they have a lot of pizzas…with a lot of toppings” He says looking over the flimsy piece of plastic. I chuckle,

“Ya they do.” After a minute a waiter comes by and gets our order for drinks. We both get some coffee before looking back to the menu.

“Did you want to just order a cheese? I really can’t decide” he jokes, I laugh,

“That sounds fine, I’m just hungry” Frank giggles and looks to me. When the waiter comes back with our drinks we give him the order and he hurries off.

“Thanks for taking me on this date” Frank blurts out shyly; I smile and stare at his gleaming eyes.

“No, thank you. I’ve been looking forward to this date since I met you” I replied, Frank blushed and took a sip of his coffee. Truthfully I was; there’s something about Frank that’s not like the other boys at school. It draws me to him, His personality, and the way he smiles and laughs. He’s just perfect in every way. The pizza is finally brought and we dig in like were animals. About half way through his pizza he looks to me.

“Can I ask you something?” he says slowly

“Ya” I respond taking a bite of my food.

“Well...Uhh… As you know this is my first date, I’ve had no relationships ever…what about you? Like you’re probably not a virgin and with your looks you’ve had a lot of dates.” He stops, I’m a little shocked but I realize he doesn’t really know about my love life.

“Well no I’m not a virgin. I wouldn’t say I’ve had a lot of dates; I’ve had them with a couple different people but they haven’t worked out, the longest relationship I’ve had was like 3 weeks but he moved to California”

“Do you miss him?” Frank blurted out

“At first but that was like over a year ago…Then random hook ups at a party” He nods and takes a bite of his pizza.

“I didn’t upset you did I?” I ask sympathetically.

“Oh no, it’s just your life sounds so much better than mine” He says with a small chuckle. I give a smile and hesitate to say this but I do.

“Don’t worry, it will get better with me in it” He freezes and a dark blush comes across his whole face. I thought he would freak out but he grins
“Cheesy” he remarks

“What the pizza or the line?” I ask raising an eyebrow

“Both” he replies taking a sip of his coffee, I grin as his eyes twinkle in the light. When we finish our pizza Frank and I argue who pays the bill; I eventually gave up and let him pay for only half of it. By the time we left it was 7:00 PM we spent three hours in there; having nowhere else to go we start heading in the direction of the house. We walk hand in hand before Frank turns to me

“It’s Friday, We don’t have school tomorrow!” I nod my head in agreement, Frank looks a little bummed.

“Did you want to spend the night again?” I ask kind of hoping he would. His eyes light up

“Can I?” I nod and he lightly jumps up and down.

After a few minutes of quietly walking we arrive at my porch, Frank stands there and so do I. I look towards him and he is smiling, Under the porch light his eyes give off a bright gleam, His hair falls down his face and I smile. I think for a moment of what I’m going to do next. I then pull Frank a little closer till I’m staring down into his eyes.

“How slow do you want to go?” I whisper, He gives a faint smile as if he was thinking about it all day.

“I think a kiss will do” He whispers back, I grin and lean my head down softly pressing my lips against his soft ones. After a moment Frank leans closer deepening it, I wrap my arm around his waist and he smiles through the kiss

“Okay that’s enough you two!” We whip our heads towards the voice and see Mikey standing in the doorway. I didn’t even hear the door open. Frank quickly pulls away embarrassed and I give a glare to Mikey.

“He’s staying the night” Inform him. Mikey nods and goes back inside closing the door again. I turn to Frank “Sorry…again. My whole family is whacky” Frank just giggles and gives another quick kiss. We head inside and see my mom and Mikey watching T.V. My mom is smiling so I guess Mikey told her.

“Did you guys have a nice night?” she asks looking towards us. We both nod and she gestures us to come sit down. What a perfect date.
