Return To Me, My Love

Chapter Twenty Two

"Baby" I call out as I rush across the street after Frank, reaching him just as he raises his hands to shove the other guy. "Stop" I yell as I reach out and grab his arm, pulling him back and Frank spits out "My personal life is not there for your gain. If I see those photos published anywhere I'll sue you." The photographer steps back away from us, looking terrified before he turns and walks quickly down the street, Frank and I watching him go before Frank turns back to me. "Babe" he says softly and I sigh as I say "Frank what the hell was that?" "I'm just sick of my life always being on display. We were having such a nice morning just the two of us and...." "I know baby but you can't blow up at them like that and you definitely can't hit them." Frank drops his head, his shoulders slumped and he remains staring at the ground as he says "I'm sorry I ruined our morning." I reach out and gently cup his chin, easing his head back up and I smile warmly as I say "It's not ruined." Frank smiles back before saying "Now where were we?" And stepping in to kiss me again. We keep the kiss short and sweet before breaking apart again and linking hands, heading back to the venue for soundcheck.

A few days later we are travelling to the final venue for the last show on this leg of the tour, the rest of the guys flying back to the US tomorrow but Frank and I will be flying back to Paris and I am laying in my bunk on my laptop when I decide to google Frank for a laugh but what I see makes my blood run cold. Some tabloid has uploaded photos of Frank and I kissing, the pictures easily recognisable as the ones Frank blew up about the other day but the next two are of right after I'd broken up the fight between him and the photographer, Frank standing over me looking enraged and in one his hands are raised and I look scared, the caption underneath reading "Trouble in paradise? Rocker Frank Iero gets physical with husband on a public street." I take a deep breath as I read the caption again, realisation fully setting in that the tabloid is reporting that Frank hit me and I climb out of the bunk, making my way to the back lounge where Frank is helping Ian pack up some equipment left around. "Hey baby what's wrong?" Frank asks when he looks over at me and I hold the laptop out to him as I say "I found something and..." Before trailing off, letting Frank see for himself and once he turns the laptop around to see the screen Ian comes over and looks over his shoulder, both of their eyes widening when they see what I'm talking about. "That fucking asshole" Frank snaps as he hands the laptop back and marches from the back lounge, Ian and I left standing in shock, confused about where he's going on a moving bus but a few seconds later Frank comes back with the tour manager, grabbing the laptop and showing him the photos.

A few hours later we arrive at the venue and as soon as the bus has stopped Frank and the tour manager leave the bus, disappearing without telling anyone where they're going so Ian helps me carry the merch inside, getting set up for later at the back of the venue before we go for a walk, getting coffee and when we take a seat in the coffee shop Ian says "So, what actually happened the other day?" I sigh before telling him exactly what happened with the photographer and then afterwards and Ian nods before saying "Are you sure? Cause those photos look pretty bad Gee." "Ian come on. Frank and I fight sometimes but we're not physical, you know I wouldn't put up with that shit." Ian nods again before saying "That's true, sorry for asking." "It's ok" I tell him, offering him a weak smile and we finish our coffee in almost silence before getting up and I order a big takeout coffee for Frank, knowing he'll want it whenever he comes back. The rest of the morning passes quickly once we get back to the bus and by the time soundcheck comes around Frank still hasn't come back so I go with the other guys, standing on the side of the stage watching but without Frank around they need someone to sing and test out the mic and Ian laughs and says I should do it. After a minute of playful arguing I step over and take my place at the mic, the lights blinding as the techs work on fixing the lighting cues and Ian whispers to the guys, smiling over at me before they start playing and I raise my eyebrows at him as I realise they are playing the intro to their version of with or without you that they recorded a long time ago for me and I take one last shaky breath before stepping up to the mic and opening my mouth.

Okay okay, now Ian is seeming like a proper asshole! And now I have no idea who to ship for, I liked the idea of Ian cause he was different from frank, but now I'm back on the Frank side! Maan, maybe even Bert may have a chance here! Thanks for keeping me guessing lol :) <3

I had to catch up on the new chapters, I missed this story so much !

Mikey is a bit annoying seriously like he's making Frank seem bad but honestly Gee is just being immature about Frank's job and all.
At the same time I feel bad for him too because of Ian's shitty
behavior.
Hope Frank and G will be okay

Love the drama, ahaha

Poor Gee...Ian needs to back the fuck off!

I can see Gee's point and he SHOULD be a priority for Frank but Frank can't walk away from his livelihood. UGH! I know drama drives a story but PLEASE don't let IAN screw things up for Gee. He's been through so much. Frank does need to realize Gee's position. Glad it's not me writing this...but I LOVE reading it.
