The Light Behind Your Eyes
Chapter 14: (Coffee's For Closers)
Gerard’s P.O.V
*one month later*
I woke up as normal, I hadn’t been going to school for the last month anyway because the doctors thought it would be best if I stayed at home for a bit to make sure I recover properly.
Frank had been texting me everyday making sure I felt well and that I was alright, undoubtedly it was boring staying at home everyday but Mikey had made sure to bring all the gang over and Mum made sure I was entertained and was always making me smile, it was good for the two of us to get some quality time together.
Today was the first day I was allowed back at school, it would be my first day seeing Frank since I had left the hospital, he managed to get away with checking up with me and visiting while I was in hospital but we decided it would be too suspicious if he came round the house.
“Gerard, rise and shine! I will be dropping you and Mikey off at school in half an hour!” I smiled to myself caught up in my thoughts about Frank, I had to stop before I gave myself another problem I don’t need this morning.
I got up pulling on a clean pair of pants and jeans before choosing a subtle t-shirt that was fitted to my body because damn I could still try to look nice once in a while. I shuffled into the bathroom putting up a bit of foundation to make sure I’m not too washed out and some eyeliner before brushing my teeth and adding a tad of cherry lip balm making my lips plump.
When I got downstairs Mikey was waiting by the door with his dorky smile and a piece of toast for me. We all jumped in the car before driving to school.
“Mikey you must look after Gerard today...” Was said sternly interrupting my train of thought.
“Of course I will, anything for my big bro” I chuckled ruffling his hair as we pulled up to school.
“Bye Mum” I said leaning across kissing her cheek and jumping out the car walking to registration and parting with Mikey.
I caught sight of Ray and sat down next to him.
“Well, well, well, Mr Way, nice of you to join us”
“Hi Ray. Nice to see you too” Ray’s hair had somehow grown even more.
“How’s the boyfriend?”
“Ray shut up!”
“Hey! I made this ship sail, I’m basically the captain of this ship!” He grinned triumphantly at his announcement.
“Yeah okay...how’s your boyfriend?”
“I don’t have one...” He looked sadly down at his hands.
“You will eventually Ray, I believe in fate.”
The first half of the day passed quickly, I just got on with the day catching up with the work I missed. It was really nice to be with my friends again. It was now History and as usual I wasn’t paying attention to my lesson. I was thinking about more important things, like Frank. I was looking out for him knowing that during my History lessons he always goes outside for a smoke. I saw him walk into my view and light his cig. He looked so muscular and toned. He made me feel all warm inside having not seen much of him recently. He smirked at me inhaling the toxic fumes and blowing them out, flicking his hair back in the process, could he be anymore perfect?
“Mr Way can you look this way please?” I heard in the distance of my trance but not recognising it was aimed at me. I kept watching Frank goofing around blowing kisses at me and trying to look sexy. Then my view was blocked with a curtain.
“Mr Way did you not hear me?” I was face to face with my teacher.
“Ummm no, sorry Sir” He returned to his desk, I could practically feel Frank laughing from outside.
“You should be paying attention more than anyone in this room” I heard mumbled but I couldn’t care less.
Music shortly came around as I walked with Ray into the room.
“Hello boys” Said Frank from his desk.
“Hey Sir” I smirked and when I sat down a bit my lip winking at him because I have to give him something. Frank coughed and shuffled awkwardly.
I was concentrating intently the whole lesson taking in everything Frank was saying. Frank kept throwing me seductive glances and biting his lip.
At the end of the day I was sad to have to leave Frank again, he had asked to speak to me behind class. When everyone had left he walked up to me and kissed me softly, when we pulled apart I put my finger on his lips.
“Not here baby” He looked disappointed but understood.
“You look nice today...” I blushed brushing my hands down his sides.
“Do I not every day?” I asked tilting my head at him.
“Of course you do, just today you look extra nice” I let out a small whine.
“Frank I haven’t seen you in ages and there’s so much we have to talk about and that we have to do, trust me, but I have to go because Mikey is waiting in the car with Mum and-“
“Shhhh baby I understand, I’ll text you later” I looked at him apologetically before kissing his cheek and walking away.
*2 hours later*
I was sitting in the living room watching a movie with Mikey when the doorbell went. I opened it and my jaw dropped.
“Frank what are you doing here?!” I whisper shouted.
“I’ve come to take my boyfriend on a date.” He grinned proudly before presenting me with my flowers, I blushed taking them.
“Oh ermmm, I’ll just go and tell Mum where I’m going...” I returned back inside putting my flower on the table.
“Mum....I’m just going out with Ray...for a bit...please? I won’t be out too late.”
“Honey of course you can....I understand if you’re going out with ‘Ray’ just make sure you text me if you stay out” Mum and I had grown a lot closer than before with the time I had off and she already knew I had a boyfriend but I told her small details about Frank to keep her satisfied.
I jumped into Frank’s car before pulling him into a kiss.
“Hi”
“Hi” He smiled back before starting to drive.
“So where are we going?” I asked curiously because there weren’t many places we could go in public together.
“It’s a surprise” We sat listening to the faint sound of a smashing pumpkins CD. I then realised how scruffy I looked, Frank didn’t exactly look smart but he defiantly looked better than I did. He was wearing some fitting black jeans with a white T-Shirt and a black leather jacket, what made it better was his lip piercing being in.
We had been driving for about 40 minutes before pulling up in a small village to a cafe. On the outside it didn’t look too interesting with a sign above that said ‘Art Cafe’. I went to get out the car but Frank was around the other side before I had time.
“What a gentleman” I commented before taking his hand. When we stepped inside the cafe it was empty apart from one other person sitting at a table reading their book. There was a subtle playing of an Elvis track and a small, old lady behind the counter. All around the cafe was framed art, some of flowers, some comic designs and variations of sunsets. It was stunning to be here and it looked so cute.
“Well! It’s my favourite costumer!” Said the old lady.
“Hi Cath, just two coffees please” Requested Frank politely.
“Of course Frank, the normal $4 please” Frank paid it and led me to sit down on a comfy sofa in the corner.
“Frank it’s beautiful in here! How did you find this place?”
“I used to come here a lot as a teenager and you’ve always mentioned how much you liked art and I thought of this place.” I smiled leaning back into his arms.
“So this is our first official date huh?”
“I guess so, about time too!” Cath came over with our coffees and placed them in front of us.
“You guys make an adorable couple” She commented before leaving us alone blushing.
“So tell me Mr Way, what happened in History class today?” He smirked taking a sip of his coffee.
“Well, I was told off for looking out the window and not paying attention several times before Mr Morgan had enough and just shut the curtains”
“It must have been quite something you were staring at.”
“Well if you wanted honesty, it was probably the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen...” Frank blushed pulling me further into his side kissing me on the head lightly.
By the time we’d finished our drinks we were in a full blown conversation about Frank.
“Tell me the stupidest thing you’ve ever done”
“Well, when I was in college I got really drunk this one time and broke my foot jumping out the second floor of my building” I snorted loudly laughing.
“You’re joking right?” He shook his head with regret.
“Let’s get out of here” Said Frank pulling me up behind him, I wouldn’t walk so he ended up slinging me over his shoulders. He carried on walking until we got to the top of a hill overlooking the village and in the distance you could see the rest of New Jersey.
“It’s beautiful Frankie”
“Just like you” He breathed out looking at me brushing the hair out my face. I kissed him, a little harder than he anticipated. He soon warmed into it groping my ass and lifting my legs up to his waist. It was so ironic due to his height but I wasn’t complaining.
“Mmm, Frankie.” He pulled away.
“Not today Gee, I’m sorry, you’re still not 18.”
“At least let me blow you?” He laughed hugging me.
“Come on, this is meant to be romantic.” He walked away and picked a flower from the ground giving it to me as the sun set and made the hills its grave.
“Thank you Frankie” He looked at me inquiringly.
“What for?”
“This was the perfect date, I couldn’t have imagined it any better” I said before sealing my lips to his in a sweet kiss.

Notes
Hello hello hello,I have updated! This is the quality content you needed, the last chapter was rushed but I'm pleased with the length of this chapter and the content in it.
The cafe in this chapter is based off of a cafe I like to go to and it's really cool and full of art and no one is ever in there and it's always really relaxing.
If non of you knew........TOMORROW IS 12 YEARS SINCE REVENGE WAS RELEASED! I have tried to roll some revenge puns in here, well done if you noticed. I haven't really got anything planned to celebrate it tomorrow, maybe just taking the CD everywhere with me, I listened to the album while writing this chapter!
I hope you guys are liking it.
I'm really open to suggestions for the story etc.
I'm just checking if you guys are okay with there being a lot of dialogue? In this chapter there was quite a bit but there's always a lot in my chapters? I just like writing it I guess, maybe it's because I like talking and can't imagine not talking?
Thank you for reading if you made it this far!
Keep running!
GeeWhizzySasss
That last chapter had me in a fit of laughter omg
