Frank POV

Over the next few weeks, I meet the other alters. The drama at school dies down and we get pretty much back to our normal selves. Gerard’s been out most of the time, but me and G speak on the phone and I encounter Saviour.
It was a Friday and he had just got home when he received a text. He opened the message and read it quickly.
Gerard: It's G (the weird old alter)
He frowned slightly, unsure of what to reply.
Frank: Hi?
Seconds later his phone beeped again.
Gerard: How are you?
Frank: Good :) do you want to call or?
After a few moments, Frank's phone rang and he answered. It sounded like Gerard's voice but a little softer and smoother than usual.
“Hey?” he murmured “So you are G?”
“Yeah” G replied “It’s so weird to actually be the one talking to you”
“I guess it must be” Frank giggled nervously.
“So dude, we should probably discuss our relationship”
“Yeah we probably should”
“You’re not creeped out by all this are you?”
“Well, it’s different to anything I’m used to but no I’m not creeped out”
“That’s good! I try to be an uncle to Gerard so just think of me as an uncle”
Frank hummed in agreement.
“And if you were to ever you know, get intimate, I’ll want nothing to do with it” G added.
“Okay” Frank replied “What about the other one, saviour?”
“He’ll come round to the idea of a relationship”
They started talking about their interests and Frank learned a lot more about G. It was interesting, and felt like a weight had been lifted off him. G had a warmth to him and Frank was glad to have gained an uncle as he put it.
My meeting with Saviour didn’t go quite as well.
Gerard was walking home with Frank, planning on going to sit in the park. Gerard seemed to be becoming agitated, and began showing signs of switching. By this point, Frank had learned them well, lack of concentrate, tiredness, blinking more and looking at the floor. Gerard slowed to a stop, frowning slightly and suddenly walked purposefully in the other direction. Frank guessed he had switched, but had no idea who to. He chased after him but this alter kept walking.
“Wait!” he called, but got no response. His mind raced, wondering if this was that nameless alter, and what he had done to trigger him but it wasn’t the same.
“Saviour?” he asked, taking a risk. Saviour’s head shot round and he looked at Frank with an expression he couldn’t make out “Please trust me”
He shook his head, remaining expressionless and kept walking.
“I don’t want to hurt you”
He didn’t respond, clearly not believing a word Frank said. He was looking out for Gerard, no one could see this would only end badly.
They ended up at Gerard's house, Saviour still having not said a word. He opened the door, went inside and closed it in Franks face, still showing no emotion. Frank called for him but was embarrassed to be greeted by Gerard’s mum.
“Sorry, he gets like that, please don’t take it personally” she told him apologetically. After an awkward conversation, the door shut for the second time and Frank was left to walk home, all the plans for the afternoon out the window. A few tears did slip out, it hurt to be rejected so blatantly by his boyfriend - that’s what they were right? Frank valued Gerard, and all his personalities, more than anything else in the world and it felt like someone stabbed him the moments he didn’t recognise him. Frank just repeated over and over again to himself not to take it personally, like Gerard's mother said. But deep down he did and he struggled to deal with that.
Suddenly my phone rings, snapping me back to reality. I answer it quickly.
“Hey” Party says, I can tell it’s Party by the familiar californian twinge.
“Hi” I reply “What’s up?”
“I was just wondering if you wanted to go out sometime? We haven’t had a proper date yet?” they suggest.
“Yes!” I practically squeal “When?”
“Tomorrow good?”
I think for a moment, tomorrow’s Saturday.
“Yes!” I grin.
“So where do you wanna go?”
“Surprise me”
“Ooh okay then, I was thinking as well, after I surprise you, do you wanna go to the park? It’d be so romantic”
It doesn’t sound like they remember the last attempt at going to the park but I’m not going to remind them.
“Yes fuck, I’m excited now” I reply.
“You should be. 5pm. My place. Tomorrow”
“It’s a date”
