The Only Way

"Merry Christmas, little shit." Vincent said as I turned over in my bed to cuddle with what I thought was Gee.

"What the…" I said, as I jumped, trying to get away from him.

" You looked so peaceful in your bed I thought I might jump in." he said, grasping my arm.

"Get the fuck out of my.." I yelled before he put his hand over my mouth, clenching his nails into my arm.

"Shut the fuck up Frank. I have no intention to hurt you but I will if you wake Mikey up." he said. I felt trapped and started to panic.

"Shh..Frankie, breathe with me." he said, trying to calm me down as he saw my face turn to white.

I did as I was told till I could breathe properly again.

"So you really aren't faking just to get Gerard's attention huh?" he asked, as I catched my breath.

"Duh..! Of course I faked the whole thing even tho I had no way to know Gerard before I met him just to piss you off and take him away from you and that, cause I'm so good at ruining people's life on purpose, before I even knew you existed!" I said, sarcastically. What a fucking jerk, like I would intentionally do this to myself. He had really no idea of how suffering this was.

"Alright, alright. Got your point." he said, leaning towards me. What the hell was he trying to do?

"You're only in you undies..humm." he said, caressing my chest and tights underneath the covers.

"Don't…" I said, my eyes filling up with tears.

"I said, I'd ruin your life Frank and I always keep my promises." he said, kissing my lips.
I tried to push him away but he put all his weight on me.

"I won't hurt you, Frank. I'll just disgust you enough." He said, rubbing my ass on the thin layer of fabric of my boxers.

I didn't say anything because I knew it would only encourage him. I tried to act dead, like if I didn't feel his disgusting hands on me.

" You're my bitch. I'll do whatever I want with you. Gerad will never believe you since you are a jealous little cunt." He said, whispering in my ears and rubbing his hands in my hair.

"You said you wouldn't hurt me….is that keeping your promises?" I asked, trying to make him stop.

"I don't think it's hurting that much..since you're hard." he said, rubbing my dick.

"That's a morning problem. Nothing to do with your disgusting hands on me." I answered, trying to punch him.

"Tsk tsk…Frankie. You won't overpower me. Look at you, all frail. Maybe that's what's turning Gerard on. He likes to do it with barely legal little boys who will make him feel like a big man. He's big isn't he? Big inside your tiny little ass. Do you think he's bigger than me?" he asked as took my hand and made him touch his hard dick.

"I don't care." I answered.

"You don't care? Maybe if I fuck you, you'll be able to answer. It's true that it's hard to tell only from a single touch." he said, slipping down my boxers.

"Don't YOU FUCKING DARE!! MIKEY …WAKE THE FUCK UP" I yelled, louder than I ever yelled. I didn't care at this point. He would rape me over my dead body.

He punched me in the throat and left the room as he heard Mikey getting up. I was crying hysterically when he arrived in panic in my bedroom.

"What?? What the hell Frank?" Mikey said, taking me in his arms.

"I….he.." I tried to explain while he was rocking me back and forth.

"What's going on?" said Vincent who had just appeared in the doorframe.

"Get the fuck outttt!!!" I yelled, completely out of control.

"Vincent, I don't think now is the time. Get out and close the door behind you." Mikey said.

"Alright." Vincent said as he threatened me to choke me if I said anything with a gesture. Too bad Mikey didn't see him.

"Frank..calm down. Breathe. You're safe with me." He said, wiping my tears.

"Everyone…keeps abusing me…what the hell…" I said, choking on my own saliva.

"Who? What happened? I was asleep, no one was there." he said, trying to make sense of what I was saying.

"Vincent…he…" I said before he interrupted me.

"Vincent was in Alice's room.." he said, not understanding.

"He was here…he tried to rape me. That's why I yelled." I answered.

"I'm pretty sure he wasn't here, babe. Did you had a bad dream?" he asked, softly.

"I'm not crazy…he was here Mikey. He ran back to his room as soon as he heard you getting up." I said. I didn't had hallucinate the whole thing for fuck's sake.

"Okay..what did he do?" he asked.

"He said…he wanted me to tell him if he had a bigger…dick than Gerard by..pushing it..inside of me. He took my boxers off." I said, looking at my legs. My boxers where still on my knees that was solid proof.

"Humm.. Can I see?" he asked, skeptic.

"Mike..come on…"

"Hide your dick. I just wanna make sure cause it seems kinda unreal to me."

"You don't believe me?" I asked in disbelief.

"If you're right, your boxers will be down and I won't doubt you."

I lifted the covers and hid my parts.

"Alright, pull them up." He said.

"You..thought I had made up that whole thing?" I asked, lifting my boxers and covering my body.

"No..it's just..how dare he? In Gee's own bed.." He said, clenching his fists.

"Where's Gerard?" I asked him.

"He's picking up Alice at her grandma's."

"You aren't safe here. Please come home. He won't touch you there and I'll have the time to convince Gerard." he pleaded.

"You know what will happen if I go. He'll think I'm trying to make him jealous." I answered.

"Yeah you're right, unfortunately." He answered, head down.

"I want it to end…Mike.." I cried, hugging him tightly.

"Let me talk to Vincent."

"It won't change anything."

"I'll give him a good scare." He said, leaving the room, leaving the door opened.

"What the fuck Vincent?" Mikey asked entering Alice's bedroom.

"What? I'm sorry I heard him yell and it woke me up so I…" Vincent said before Mikey interrupted him.

"Cut the crap. I know you were in his bedroom."

"What?"

"You're almost 40 goddamn. He's a teenager and you're traumatizing him. How can you do such thing? You have a daughter. Gerard should have custody and keep you out of her life, you fucking perv."

"He's making that up, Mikey. He's playing with your feelings, can't you see? Frank is a tortured little boy and I'm the one who's worried about Gee. Can't you see he's manipulating him?"
"Just admit what you did."

"Trying to make friends with him? I mean I thought maybe I could help him but..he's so jealous that he's making shit up. Do you really think I'm capable of hurting anyone? Come on... you know me since forever and you're gonna trust him?".

"I know how you can be, Vincent."

"You know what? I'm not welcome in this house. I'm going and I'm bringing Alice as soon as she arrives before he fucking call the cops on me and convince everyone I'm a rapist."

"I don't believe you. I know you hit him the other night. He couldn't have done this to himself."

"I never touched a single hair on his head okay? For god's sake you, he really got you hooked didn't he?"

"I know it was you, your fists are still bruised."

"And I couldn't have smashed a wall all by myself? Ask Gerard he will tell you."

"You're so full of shit."

"You know what makes me sad? He doesn't even love you and you're choosing him over your best friend. Have a lonely life, Mikey. I'm out if here."

"Fuck you."

"Call me back when you have proof. But you know what? It won't happen cause it's all lies so don't even dare calling me again."

"Tell Gerard to bring Alice to my place and stay out of my life. Goodbye, Mike."

Then I heard the front door closing. Mikey came upstairs looking completely defeated.

"I…I don't..know what to think." he said, sitting on the bed.

"I would neve lie to you Mike…I…" I said as I turned around rocking my body sides to sides.
Mikey leaned over and smelled my hair and his eyes went blank.

"The fucker. He lied to my face. You smell like his perfume." He said, clenching fists.

I put my hands over my head because I thought he would hit me.

"Fuck!!" He said, punching the bed.

I let him calm himself down, lost in my thoughts. I remembered the promise Gerard and Mike had make the night my dad had thrown me out. They said they wouldn't let anyone hurt me again but they had failed monumentally. A few months later Gerard was so blinded by his manipulative ex that he had chosen to believe him instead of me.

"You're moving out with me." Mikey said after a few minutes.

"What's the point now that he's gone?" I asked.

"Oh hell wait till Gerard comes home and you might have to anyway."

"Might have to do what?" Gerard said, coming in the room followed by Alice that had jumped on me.

"Frankie!!! I've missed you so much!! Come! I made you a drawing." Alice said, grabbing my hand.

Gerard smiled, soften by the fact that Alice had adopted me as one of her own. You had to be pretty special to get a drawing.

I left the room, leaving Mikey sharing the bad news to his brother. Alice showed me her gift a pink tiger that was badass.

"Ohh that's so cool. You're pretty good!" I told her, looking at her drawing. She gave me a hug and asked if I would draw with her. I was really concentrated on drawing inside the lines when I heard Gerard talking louder than he probably intended.

"And you believe him! Come on, Mike, I've known Vincent for a pretty long while now and I know he would never do that!"

"I was skeptic at first but Gee…his skin smelled like Vincent's perfume. How do you explain that?"

"I don't know, he could've have just picked the bottle and spray it on himself."

"That's a bit far stretched, don't you think?"

"I don't know…I don't know what to do! I wanna spend Christmas with her!"

"Call him, tell him you don't wanna see him around anymore."

They started to whisper so I missed a part of their conversation.

" Let me talk to Frank, then." Gerard said after a few minutes of silence.

He called my name and I left the room. Mikey passed by me in the hallway and patt my back as to wish me luck.

As I entered the room, Gerard closed the door behind me.

"I'm tired, Frank, really tired." He said, his hand on his forehead.

"I am too, Gee." I answered.

"Do you swear, on your mother's grave, that it really happened like you said it did?" He asked, looking at me straight in the eyes.

"Yes." I answered, simply. I didn’t know what to expect from this question.

‘’Alright, I’m inviting Vincent back, saying you changed your mind.’’

‘’What?!?..’’

‘’Yeah, me and Mike, we have a plan. I’m putting a camera, right there. We’ll caught him in the act. There is no way we’re gonna have any proof unless you get raped and I’m not willing to let that happen. We’ll set up a trap.’’

‘’Ok..ay.’’ I said, asking to myself if I really wanted act like a bait.

‘’Alright, I’m calling him.’’ Gerard said as Mikey came back in the room, wrapping me in his arms.

‘’Hey. It’s me.’’ Gerard said as soon as Vincent answered.

‘’Hey..hey stop it..I know. I believe you.’’

‘’Would you please come home so we could spend Christmas together, just like old times?’’

‘’I swear, next time he accuses you, I’m gonna throw him out.’’

‘’Yeah, he said he would calm down. I’m getting tired of his shit. After Christmas, I think I’m gonna send him back to Mike’s and end this. It's his last chance.’’ Gerard said, squeezing my hand as to apologize.

''Come on, Mikey is really sorry about what happened. I talked to him and he believes you now.''

''Haha..babe, you know Christmas without you wouldn't be Christmas. I miss you a lot.'' Gerard said, playing with a flock of his hair. Damn, he really sounded convincing.

‘’Okay, see ya. Love you too.’’ Gerard said, hanging up.

‘’He’s coming down for supper.’’

‘’No drama tonight, alright? It’s Christmas. I want Alice to have a blast. So, Mike you don’t leave Frank alone. Take your shower with him if it’s what it takes.’’ Gerard said as Mikey started to smile like an idiot.

‘’That was a figure of speech, Mike, don’t get your spirits up.’’ He said, looking at his brother.

‘’Humm what??’’ Mikey answered as if he was too busy fantasizing to listen to him.

Gerard punched his shoulder and they both started laughing like it was the most hilarious thing in the world.

Notes

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
