Bulletproof Heart

Chapter 13 - Everybody Wants To Rule The World

Frankie's POV

I knew there was no way to fully explain the situation to Gee. After all, Bren was family, my brother. His texts were not normal and the fact that he abruptly left for groceries was also odd. But that wasn't all of it. Everyone knows about women's intuition. Well, this was definitely sister's intuition. “He's acting like he's ok but he's not. When you know someone as well as we know each other …. He's supposed to meet me back here after getting groceries, the ones I had asked him to get.” My mind was being pulled in so many directions I felt it could splinter at any moment. The situation with my Mom and John being foremost. It was going to be a giant legal battle. Nobody knew just how bad it was going to be and I really needed Brendan. That made this so much worse. I couldn't be on the outs with him. Even though I tried hard not to cry, I could feel my face becoming damp. My heart wanted to trust Gee 100% - I felt like throwing myself onto his shoulder and crying like a little girl. Telling him everything that lay ahead. But I knew I couldn't. I'd been burned too many times to trust someone I'd just met. I needed to know that he could love me for me, not my fortune. Sure he knew about the cabin and saw my piano, but he can't know about the money.

“I don't know Gee. I think he was outside my door earlier and overheard us. You know... overheard... us.” His face registered the shock I knew he would feel, then immediately went to concern.

“I'm so sorry. This is my fault. Is this going to destroy your friendship?”

“Not in the least!” A third voice calls from the bedroom doorway, causing us both to jump. Brendan leaned against the door frame causally, with a cheeky smile on his lips and a gleam in his eye. “Brendan Urie. And you must be Gerard.” Well this was not the reaction I was expecting. He's a good actor but not this good. Gerard jumped up and shook his hand, causing Bren to shoot me a barely discernible impressed look.

“Yes, please call me Gee. I'm glad to meet you. Frankie's spoken very highly of you.”

“Huh, well I haven't had the chance to hear much about you yet. But since I did hear you mention it, I unfortunately did overhear you both. I hope to burn that from my memory shortly. We're all cool? Let's never speak of it again, shall we?” We both nodded, our faces red and our eyes downcast. Well, at least we didn't have to stew about for very long. Brendan ripped the Ban-aid off quickly for all of us and I appreciated that very much. “Moving on, I met someone at the grocery store. We're all invited to a musical thing tomorrow night. That includes Ray and all of your brothers. And I would really appreciate it if at least some of you came with me. I can tell you more about all that later, since I'm probably interrupting something here. But, she wrote a late excuse for me to give to you.” I laughed, thinking he was kidding. Then he produced a piece of paper. Late excuse? Late for what? He handed me the note, which I opened slowly.

“Is this your elaborate way of explaining why you were gone so long and dodging my calls and texts?” I half joked.

“What? No,” Not very convincingly. “My music was loud so I didn't hear my phone, besides its illegal to text and drive. I had to get gas, I was outside pumping while my phone was in the car. Then once I saw your messages, I texted but then I met Hayley and time got away from me. You'll see why when you meet her.” He gestured wildly the entire time with a silly smile plastered on his face. Hmm.

“So I'm definitely going to this thing now?”

“Well, I think you do owe something, wing-woman. But I meant on a more broad scope. Sooner or later, you'll have to meet her. I think she might be a keeper, this one. What did she say? Read it or let me see it.”

I shook my head. “Sorry, I can't. She told me not to show you.” Hmm, this girl definitely likes Bren. Looks like we're going to this thing. Wonder what she's like. Her note is sweet.

“What?! I don't believe you. That's not even funny. Gee, guys have each others' back right?” Gerard read the note over my shoulder, and the surprise on his face was evident. He thought I was kidding too.

“She's not kidding. This girl really did say not to show you. But its all nice things.” I punched Gee's arm. “Ouch, why did you do that? Nothing wrong with saying that. It's not telling him.” As I gave Gee a joking glare, I felt Brendan mouthing and signaling behind me. When I turned my head, it immediately stopped but I had a feeling it started up on the other side. Were these boys teaming up already and having a silent conversation?

“Hmm, it might have been a mistake to have you two meet.” And I was worried Brendan wouldn't like Gee. Then Gee surprised me even more. After walking over to stand by Bren, he started asking a few questions about the get together Hayley mentioned. My heart melted a little.

“Sounds like a great way to get to know her and her friends too. This town might be a nice place to live or at least visit a lot. Brendan,” he puts on a dramatic voice, “we must prepare for tomorrow night!”

“Why? What are we going to do tomorrow night?” Bren put on a cartoonish, lispy voice.

“The same thing we do every night, Pinky – Try to take over the world!”

Yup, it was definitely a mistake to introduce them. All I could do was chuckle and shake my head. Let's hope they don't start ignoring me now.

Notes

So, I have Pink Eye and I'm thrilled about it. Not sure where it came from since I haven't worn make up in awhile or been around anyone who has it. But all I'm saying is, if its not cleared up by Thursday when I see Frankie, Gah! It should be better since I'm going to the doctor tomorrow. Just when you couldn't love life anymore *she sighs with heavy sarcasm* the one part of your body that isn't in constant pain turns on you.

Ok, enough complaining. At least I get to see Frank, right? And maybe one day Gee? I'll report back to y'all soon. Killjoys make some noise! (Too expected? Still working on my sign off)

OMG...I saw your name on AO3 when you commented on one of my fics there and I thought "I recognise that name", but I looked there and you had no fics...I was confused!...NOW I'M NOT!

I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this, and seeing what you put up over there.
Welcome back, and I hope you and your family are well, or feel better soon.
