Take My Hand And Don't Look Back
Telling Mom
Frank's POV
I never thought of Gerard to be such a... well, a bridezilla. He's been online most of the night, looking at caterers, cakes, decorations; everything. We decided on making it a formally informal occasion, meaning that we can dress in jeans and a button-down with a tie and be just fine. I told him to lay off of the rest of the stuff, since we have to wait awhile for everything to be just right.
My phone buzzed a few times in the middle of me telling Gerard we were not getting a giant horse hedge, and sighed. I grabbed my phone off of the bedside table, and smiled at the contact that popped up. I told Gee I'd be back soon, and to keep searching for decorations. I answered the call immediately once I got outside.
"Mom?"
"Hi, sweetie! I saw you called, and it seemed like you were sorta frantic. Is everything okay?"
I called my mom Thursday night, hoping to get ahold of her, but it went straight to voicemail. I told her to call me back as soon as possible, when she had a large time slot for talking.
"Yes, mom, I'm fine. More than fine, actually..."
I explained everything about Gerard, how I love him more than anything, and how I've asked him to marry me. I knew my mom wouldn't tell me 'Oh, you're too young, oh you could find someone else, blah blah blah,'. She was always very happy for me when I found someone. I could hear her crying on the other end of the line, and I smiled sympathetically as if she could see me.
"I'm so happy you found someone, Frank. I'll be home Monday night- progress went faster than I thought. How about you invite Gerard over for dinner on Tuesday so I can meet him? No news about your father, so hopefully he's moved on to another town. I love you, and I'm so so happy for you."
"Thanks, mom, I love you too. See you then."
I hung up, and sighed with relief. Knowing that she knows now made me feel so much better.
"Everthing okay?"
Gerard looked over at me with worried eyes as I walked back over to him. I just smiled, and jumped on him, hugging and kissing his confused self.
"I'm wonderful, darling,"
He smiled, and kissed me and hugged me back.
"So, invite list?"
Gerard told me before how he was fine with just his parents and Mikey, and whoever I wanted to be there is okay with him.
"Well, my mom for sure. Maybe some kids from school, like Ray, Bob... Wanna see if Mikey wants to invite Pete?"
Gerard snickers, and pushed me playfully.
"There's no doubt that Mikey will want Pete there,"
I giggled, and added Pete to the list.
"When will the wedding be, do you think?"
I looked up at the ceiling, and scrunched my face, somehow helping me think.
"It's February now, so... maybe middle of March? I don't want to wait too long..."
He nods, agreeing to the statement.
Middle of March, please come sooner...

ATTENTION ANYONE WHO HAPPENS TO READ THIS!
I'm the author of this story- I lost my account after stupidly deleting my Tumblr which is connected to this specific account that I wrote the story on. I finally decided to get my act together and start the sequel today, March 15th, 2016. Please forgive me for my terribly late start on this. Nothing is posted but hopefully will be soon. Glad to be back everyone :)
