The Drums of the City Rain
Chapter 13
I stayed in my room all week. I did nothing but cry and lay on my bed. I didn't feel like eating much. Was I being a little over-dramatic? I don't think so. Nothing compared to the pain of missing Gerard and our three day relationship. Okay, maybe it was a little over-dramatic. But it certainly didn't feel that way. I swear I fell in love with him an infinite number of times in that short amount of time. Hell, I fell in love with him before he even knew I existed. Every second of that love turned into pain. Can you imagine? Just look at all that pain...
Time passed and yet, I still cried. Every day. Who ever said that time would heal? I couldn't believe it. Nothing that happened that week made sense, and yet, I longed for those few short days back. Sometimes I thought I was over-thinking, and other times I just couldn't help but think about how much I missed him. I wanted to hold his soft hands and feel his warm embrace. A million tears had fallen. But crying didn't ease my pain.
GERARD'S POV:
Ever since Frank left, I cried. A lot. I sat, all curled up on my couch... alone. Just like it used to be. Such a large and spacious home, and nobody to share it with. I knew I was a screw up and I started to fall for a fucking kid. What is wrong with me? I knew it would be better off this way. Frank didn't love me, anyway. He loved the idea of me. He wasn't thinking straight. After all, he was only seventeen. I couldn't force him on a choice that he didn't really want. Each day I couldn't tell if it got better or worse. All I knew is that I made a mistake that I couldn't fix. Frankie probably already moved on by now, anyway. I shook my head in disbelief. What was wrong with me?
Notes
Here's a short filler for ya! <3
I switched to Gerard's pov for part of this chapter just to let you know kinda what he's feeling. I think I'll actually just go back to Frank's pov for the rest of the story unless I point out otherwise.
(If you think this was dramatic, you should read Romeo and Juliet... that's just fucked up.)
This chapter was more intense and had a trigger warning, but I thought I'd take it out because it would ruin the plot of the story. Just to let you know.
Stay safe, lovelies! <3
I was super excited to read this on my break!
