Zombie Movie

Three months had flown by without hesitation. Mikey had wrapped up his film and to everyone's surprise, he got an A. Ever since then, Gerard, Frank, Mikey, Ray and Bob had all been hanging out almost every day. The one downer was that Gerard and Mikey’s parents had come back from their honeymoon.
Gerard thought back to the disastrous dinner from when he had first introduced Frankie to his parents.
*flashback*
“A vegetarian??? Good Lord, no wonder you’re such a tiny thing! If you won’t eat some meat then have another plate of pasta, I can’t have you withering away in my house. My god! Gerard must crush you in bed!”
Gerard choked on his beer. Thanks mom, let’s let the whole god damn world know that I am a cow.
Mikey starting laughing at his moms remark, until he too started choking on a string of pasta.
Unfazed as ever, Gerards dad continued eating his food, successfully tuning out his wifes loud voice.
“Not at all, Mrs. W, Gerard is the perfect size for me.” Frank said with a wink.
Donna and Frank had been getting along like a house on fire, the two shared the same crude sense of humor, one that Gerard did not like to instigate with his mom.

After a (much needed) stint of silence at the table, Mikey decided to butt in.
“How about we show Frank pictures from when Gerard was in Peter Pan, mum?” Mikey looked directly at Gerard while giving a sly smirk.
“I’m going to kill you” Gerard mouthed, while glaring at his younger brother from across the table. He coupled his words with a crude hand gesture that unfortunately, Donna saw and smacked him across the head for.
“Great idea, Mikey! Really Gerard, you shouldn't be ashamed! I’ve always said that you were made for the stage!” She looked over at Frank and stage whispered “He’s always been so dramatic!”
She got up from the table and went to a different room in search of Gerards old photos.
“Now’s your time to run for it” Don grumbled from the other end of the table.
Gerard didn’t have to be told twice, he grabbed Franks hand and bolted towards the front door.
“Gotta go mum! I totally forgot that we had a...thing to do! Thanks for the dinner!” And with that, he ran, dragging a laughing Frankie (who seemed reluctant to leave) along with him.

*present time*

Gerard laughed at the memory, and then his thoughts went a different course, remembering how he and Frank decided to get...heated in the car as soon as they left the house. Frank was a constant surprise. That coupled with his never ending sex drive, Gerard was surprised that he wasn’t exhausted all the time.
“What do you think about this one?” His thoughts were interrupted by Franks smooth voice.
They were inside an empty apartment complex. The walls were all white, but the landlord informed them that they could paint if they wanted to. That was all Gerard needed to know, he loved it. Although, he would probably love living in a cardboard box if it meant he got to live with Frank.

Him, Frank, Mikey and Ray had decided to rent an apartment together. Bob was living with his girlfriend so he declined the invite.
“And it has thick walls...” Frank said with a wink. Gerard raised his eyebrow and smiled down at his boyfriend. He knew not to be surprised by Franks words anymore, the real estate agent however, was not used to it and choked on her coffee.
Ray and Mikey ran back into the living room after checking out the kitchen.
“We love it!” They said in unison, high fiving each other in excitement.
“I guess that’s it then, we’ll take it!” Gerard said while squeezing Franks waist.
The four boys got all the paperwork done and then went their separate ways. In one week they would be moving in. Until then, they all had a lot of packing to get done.
Gerard was on his way to Franks apartment, he had promised to help pack up his stuff. He couldn’t help but notice how quite Frank had become.
“You ok, babe?” He asked while holding onto Franks hand. He tried to keep his eyes on the road but would take quick glances over to Franks sullen face.
Frank put on an insincere smile “I’m fine, just really tired. Could we hold off packing for tomorrow?”
“Yeah of course, you wanna watch a movie and just lay around tonight?” Gerard now knew that something was up.
“Nah...not tonight, I just wanna spend some time alone.” Gerard pulled up to Franks apartment.
With a quick kiss, Frank got out of the car.
“I’ll text you tomorrow ok? Love you.” Without waiting for a reply, he walked away.
Gerard couldn’t help but notice the slight hunch in the usually happy boys shoulders.
Maybe he really is just tired. Gee thought to himself.

*the next day*

Gerard had been texting and calling Frank all day after not hearing from him. He was starting to get a bit worried. He called Ray, hoping that he would have some insight.
“Hey! What’s up my man?” Rays sunshiney voice echoed.
“Nothing much, I just wanted to know if you’ve heard from Frank? He seemed really quiet last night and he hasn't spoken to me at all today. I’m getting a bit worried...” Gerard started pacing around his kitchen, before going up to his room, trying to ignore his mothers prying eyes.
“I mean..has he not told you about his family yet?” Ray suddenly sounded hesitant.
“What do you mean? I know he doesn’t speak to them much anymore but that’s it.” Is that what Mikey had warned him about earlier?
“Well if I were you, I would go over to Frank's place and have him explain everything. It’s not my story to tell.”
“Yeah...ok, I’ll go do that. Thanks, Ray.”
“No problem, bud.”
Gerard quickly hit “end” on his phone, grabbed his jacket and got in the car.
It’s time to find out what's going on with Frank.
