Frank’s P.O.V

It’s been about an hour into the movie as I watch Gerard as he lay on my bed ; he stuffed some chips into his mouth ans some falls on his shirt. He doesn’t notice me looking as he eats those and I smile; I direct myself back to the TV reading the subtitles and casually reading lips when it gets a closeup of the persons face. A hand waves in near my vision and Gerard is now looking at me

“Where’s the restroom?” he questions

“Just across the hall” I smile and he nods sitting up before looking at me

“How do you sign it?”

“Like this...Just basically like a T and you shake a it a little” he copies me and I give a thumbs up

“Thank you” he signs before getting up and leaving the room; I pause the movie and wipe off the bed of the mess we both made. Soon getting thirsty I take a drink of water but like my stupid slippery hands it drops and runs down my shirt

“Shit “ I mutter picking up the cup and stripping off my wet shirt; I quickly grab a towel and dry off before laying it on the ground. I turn around to get a shirt and I gasp as standing my the door was Gerard wide eyed; I kind of stood there my face turning red as he realized he was staring at me

“Sorry” he said quickly, me barely able to read his lips “I just walked in and,... uh yeah” he flustered his face turning red also looking anywhere but at me...I don’t know why he looked away I thought I had a nice body and it was a compliment if he was staring at me...and jut because i’m a vegetarian does not mean you have to be skinny as fuck; I have a small flab of skin but I don’t actually mind to much. Realizing I did just meet Gerard and he’s seeing me shirtless I quickly went to the closet and put on a clean shirt; we stood there for a moment before I cleared my throat

“So umm, yeah...I spilled water and it got on my shirt” I awkwardly explained

“It’s ok” He signed knowing the sign for ok was just spelling O-K
“Not like I haven’t seen a bare chest before” He smiled but then eyes widened “I mean like in the locker rooms and stuff” he corrected trying the hide the to obvious fact about sex; I shook my head and laughed

“So did you want to finish the movie or not...we can go somewhere else too”

“What about the mall or you can come to my house...see both families the same day” Okay that sounds fun; I shut off the movie and we both slip are shoes back on and head to the living room. Entering the room I see my father

“Hey dad...this is my friend Gerard” I smile and gesture towards him behind me; Gerard walked up to him and I read there lips as they greeted each other
“Can we go over to his place for a bit?”

“I guess, just be back before dark please” I nodded and started to go but mom got my attention again and signed something so Gerard wouldn’t hear

Have him walk you back...just to be safe- I did an internal sigh but nodded again as I lead him out the door

“I don’t have a car so I hope walking is fine?” he asked

“Yeah that’s cool” I smiled and started following him down the street; I looked around at all the birds, cars, people walking past and sighed

“You okay?” Gerard questioned turning towards me

“Yeah..Sometimes I wish I remembered what birds and cars sounded like again” I barely remember...When I went deaf I had tried so hard to remember everything i’ve heard but soon enough it starts fading from your memory and you just forget ; he gave a sad smile and didn’t say anything...well I don’t know what I wanted him to say either way. We walked for a couple minutes before I started talking to him again

“So what ‘s s your parents name?” I wondered so I could know it before I got there; I met his mother but I didn’t know her name

“D-O-N-N-A” He spelled out her name and I smiled that he was signing “and D-O-N-A-L-D” He ended with his fathers name and I smiled and nodded; soon enough he walked up a driveway and I knew this was his house. It was like mine; one story with a garage. He unlocks the door and I and i'm blasted with a very familiar smell

“COOKIES” I cheer and Gerard grins at me; I look to my corner and see Donna walking towards us

“Hello Frank” She greets again and I shake her hand this time

“We thought we’d hang over here for a bit ” Gerard says, she nods and turns back to me

“I heard someone mention cookies?”

“I love cookies; I bake a lot” I reply

“Thanks great, would you like some before my husband steals all of them” She laughs and I nod

“Please” I follow her into he kitchen and as she said we see a tall male, his back turned to us putting cookies on a plate; Donna lightly hits his shoulder and she say something to him before he turns around to look at me. His face stuffed with treats and crumbs on his face I lightly giggle and he quickly wipes them off and finishes the food

“Sorry about that” he says and I shake my head

“It’s fine. My name is Frank, i’m a friend of Gerard’s” I say shaking his hand

“Yes he’s mentioned you” I glance at Gerard who looks down for a moment...I wondered what he said about me?

“Here you can have these...I think i’ve had enough anyway” he chuckles passing the plate of cookies towards me

“Oh, thank you” I say taking the plate, I feel a hands on my shoulder and I look over to see Gerard saying something to his parents guiding me out of the kitchen; we walked towards a hallway so I guess we were going to his room. A door opens before us and all of a sudden Mikey steps out

“Oh hey Frank” He grabs a cookie off the plate before walking passed me...not before Gerard smacking him upside the head. I head into another door and greeted with a room similar to mine; posters, TV, dresser, bed, same old same old. I go set the plate of cookies down on the nightstand next to his alarm clock and sit down

“Nice room” I comment and he smiles sitting down next to me

“So I never asked; why do you go to hearing school, I know there’s deaf schools around here?” Gerard questioned; it was a common question for people I meet

“I did go to a deaf school when I first lost my hearing but when I was ten I wanted to go back to regular school; It was weird for me because knew I was going to be the weird one, the one who know one wanted to talk to...but I felt better going to a regular school, It felt weirder going to a deaf school than a hearing school” I explained

“You were 5 when you went deaf; were you even in school yet?” he asked, signing the word school...How is he learning these so fast; i’ve been here the whole time

“Yeah I started a little early so I was there that last year” I said; I was kind of a nerd in school...still am.

“Hmm, so how do you like our school so far?”

“It’s really cool; I have friends and the teachers are nice so far” I admit

“Do you have a crush on anybody?” I bite my lip and shrug my shoulders

“Not really, only been there for two days” He nods and grabs a cookie form the plate
“What about you?” I ask curious

“Yeah, just a small crush though” he says finishing the cookie

“Who?” I can feel a small bit of jealousy in my gut

“You don’t know him, upper grade” I nod and lay back on the bed; I can’t tell him yet that I like him, it’s too soon

Notes

Sorry school has been keeping me busy


IT'S STORY TIME MOTHERFUCKERS

So I attended my first High School football game...All was well with friends screaming my lungs out and all of a sudden thunder, lighting and it starts pouring like a bitch; everyone starts trying to leave and i'm already soaked at this point so instead of waiting minutes while people pushing me I hopped the fence. The security tells everyone to go the gym where we are met with Two team Rivals What happens when enemies meet? Fights, people were screaming their team name throwing bottles and cans...A baby powder bomb fucking went off SO security comes takes people out but that doesn't stop them
The next thing you know the whole unit of City police officers were here arresting people; finally I found my dad and we got out to see several more cops everywhere
