My expression must have told Frank that I liked him. He was a cool guy after all, sneaking out of a hospital and shit to be with us.

"Why are you so red Gerard?" Frank giggled at me.

"I uh, I mean that I uh . . ."I stuttered.

Frank laughed at my stupidity. His giggle sounded like a thousand golden bells had melted in my soul. My heart jumped and started to beat rapidly.

This was weird. I couldn't tell what I was feeling and I wasn't sure if I liked it or not yet.

"You want to tell me what you're doing back here?" Frank asked me tenderly.

"I uh, it was to rainy to sleep in my normal space, and my friend, Ray, sleeps back here a lot and told me it was a good dry place. I just needed a dry place is all." I choked out.

"Well why don't you go home?" Frank said frowning.

"I don't have one."

Frank looked out the ground. "I do but its not a good home. The majority of the day I've got tubes shoved my throat. Or needles are shoved in my arm."

I nodded thoughtfully "I'm sorry Frank."

"That wouldn't be so bad if I had someone to talk to me, make me feel wanted. You know? Someone to call a friend."

I looked at him. "I could be your friend you know."

"You would do that? Why would you want to do that?"

I just shrugged. "You should probably get back inside. I'll come back by later." I said

Frank nodded and climbed back in room. I got up and looked around, thats strange, I dont remember seeing Ray leave.
