Touch Him Again, And I'll Kill You

Frank's POV

After saying goodbye to Gerard, I walked to my gym class. I went in and immediately changed into my gym clothes, then went out to the track.
"Okay class, we are going to running a few laps today, go ahead and get started."
I let out a long sigh. I hated running, but I reluctantly began to jog around the track.

By my third lap, I was already out of breath, and my face was covered in sweat. I was far behind everyone else, so I just kept my head down and tried to focus on not dying.

After another lap, I realized that no one was running anymore. I looked up in confusion to try and see what had stopped them. They were all standing in a group staring at the school building.
I followed their gaze and immediately regretted doing so after what I saw.
Gerard was being pinned against the brick wall of the school by two police officers, and they were handcuffing him. I was frozen in shock.
He looked back at me and his eyes met mine. At that moment, before I even realized it, I was running faster than I ever had before toward him.
I heard my gym teacher calling my name, but I sure as hell didn't care.

I ran up to where the police officers had him.
"Why the hell are you arresting him? He hasn't done anything!" I spat at the police officers, coming to the defense of Gerard, who looked like a lost puppy.
"Calm down, kid. We're just taking him in for some questions." "Questions about what?" I pried.
"Can't tell you that. Now step back or I'll be forced to detain you."
"Frank, it's okay. Just go back to class, I'll be okay." Gerard said as he gave me an uneasy smile.

Watching a person you care about get put into a police car really terrifies a person.
After they took him, I spent the rest of the day freaking out.
At lunch, I needed some reassurance, so I left school and headed over to Jimmy's.
I knocked on the door and waited for an answer.
A few seconds later, Lindsey was revealed, still in her pajammas.
"Hiya, Frank!" She beamed at me.
"Hey, Lindsey. Are you busy?"
"At the moment, no. What's up?" She asked me, looking a little worried.
"Can I come in?"
She answered me by moving to the side and allowing me to pass through.
I made myself comfortable on the small leather couch, and she sat next to me.
"What's wrong, Frank?" She broke the silence.
"Gerard's been arrested."
"Oh shit." She said, her eyes widening.
"Yeah, and they wouldn't tell me why, and I'm freaking out. I think he killed Jeremy, Lindsey."
She glanced over at me before pulling out a ciggerette.
"I know for a fact that he didn't." She said, before lighting it up. I sat on the edge of the couch. "Wait, what? How do you know?" I asked her.
"Cause I was with him. He didn't kill Jeremy. We beat him up pretty bad, but he didn't kill him. I took his knife so he wouldn't be able to do somethin like that." She said casually.
"Why did you guys beat him up?"
"Because he hurt you, and Gerard freaked out. Don't worry, I made sure there was no proof that Gerard and I did anything. If this is what the police are questioning him about, don't worry. They don't have shit on him."
I let out a sigh of relief.
"Fuck, that's good to hear."
She smiled at me.
"What?" I asked her.
"Can I tell you a secret?" She said.
"I guess."
"I think Gerard loves you. And I know that probably sounds like a childish thing to say, but for Gerard, it isn't. He only loves three people in this world. Me, Jimmy, and his brother, Mikey. So saying he might love you is actually pretty fucking huge."
I felt the corners of my mouth pull up into a grin.
"You think so?" I asked.
"I know so."
Our conversation was cut short by the sound of the door opening. I glanced over and saw that it was Gerard. I jumped up from the couch and ran over to him, immediately pulling him in for a kiss.
"You scared the shit out of me." I whispered. "What happened?"
"They asked me some questions about Jeremy, and asked if I had done anything to him. I told them that I was with you the night he got beat up, which was partially true. I'm honestly just fucking ecstatic that I didn't kill him." He said with a small smile on his face.
Looking at him now, standing here in front of me, I noticed so many things. His eyes were a hazel that would make the gods jealous, his raven hair was never perfect, and was always sticking up, and his smile could stop a world war.
Out of all of these things that I noticed, I decided to voice only one, because I knew it was change my life forever.
"I'm in love with you."
