~ 6 Months Later ~

I shivered as I stepped out of the gates of hell and into the cold air. Kids had already begun to walk around with their parents dressed up as monsters or princesses. I smiled slightly feeling happy for the first time in months. I wrapped my coat tighter around me and walked away from the asylum which had been my home for so many years. I started to walk down the dark crowded streets and towards the closest coffee shop. As I stepped inside warm air hit me scaring the chills away from me. I smiled and went to the front looking into the young girls eyes for a second before awkwardly looking away. " U-Um...can I have just a black coffee please and a muffin? " I asked. The girl smiled and nodded before asking my name and going to take care of my order. I stood to the side and took out my out-dated phone and seeing a message. It was Gerard. I chose to ignore as I did all his other messages and grabbed my scalding hot coffee and muffin. I sat down by a window and gazed out at the dark blue sky as the sun faded away in the distance. I looked at my phone again and bit my lip as I read Gerard's name on it. I hesitantly opened the message and started to read.

Gee <3: Frankie I know you probably don't want to talk to me after I abandoned you but I wanted to say happy birthday! You're finally 18 and you can finally live your life the way you always wanted. I miss you so much and I wish i could just feel you in my arms right now and make you cake and other lovey shit. You're the only person I've ever cared about and I hope you know that. If you want to come see Mikey and I we live at 1522 Meadow Way. I love you.

I teared up as I read the message. The tears spilled over and landed onto my phone with a soft plop. I wiped my eyes and texted him back for the first time in months.

Frankie: Can I come over?

I smiled wide as he replied with a quick yes. Grabbing my coffee and half eaten muffin I started to make my way towards Meadow Way. I found the street easily and walked until I spotted his house, decorated for Halloween in the cutest way. I giggled a bit and walked to the front door knocking gently. The door flew open and warm arms embraced me. I gasped in surprise and blushed wrapping my arms around the boy in front of me. I could feel his tears soaking my shirt but I didn't mind. I just held him and cooed him softly. I used to hate him for leaving but now? Hatred was an impossible emotion to feel. He pulled away and sniffled a bit before regaining his composure and pulling me inside. I smiles shyly and held his hand gently. He stared at me wide eyed and i wasn't surprised. I hadn't grown much but i was starting to get some stubble as I hadn't been able to shave and I had a couple tattoos littered my body. I smiled at the boy and whispered, " Hey Gee... " As soon as the words left my mouth tears came to my eyes. I remembered the nights alone crying for hours as my demons haunted me. I remembered reading Gerard's messages late at night and crying when he couldn't be there. Sobs wracked my body and I buried my face in my arms almost unable to hold myself up. Arms wrapped around my thin frame and picked me up carrying me up a fight of stairs. A door opened and I was set in a bed that smelled purely of Gerard. Sobs escaped me as I struggled to keep in my tears. I feel Gee's arms around me and I slowly start to calm down. I cling to the boy I love and cry silently as he holds me. His hands secure my hips in place as he kisses my forehead. I look up at him with pure heartbreak in my eyes. He flinches and tears up. " F-Frankie...Frankie I-I'm so sorry, " he sobs out. I silence his sobs with a small kiss but I pull away quickly before he could kiss back. He whimpers at the sudden contact and pulls me closer. His head curves down to meet mine but I flinch away slightly. " I..I don't think I can just kiss you Gee...I haven't seen you in six months and I need some time to...recover, " I whisper. He frowns but nods and holds me close. " Stay here tonight? " he asks. I nod and mumble, " I didn't have anywhere to stay anyway. " He frowns at this and lays down holding me close. I snuggle into his warm frame and take in the glorious scent of coffee, cigarettes and cinnamon. About 30 minutes into our cuddle fest a door opens and closes downstairs. Feet make their way up the stairs and run to Gee's bedroom. " Gee isn't today Frankie's birth- OH MY GOD FRANK!! " he screams and jumps on me attacking me with hugs. I giggle slightly and ruffle his hair playfully. " Hey twerp, " I whisper hoarsely. He pouts a bit and grumbles about not being a twerp. I take this opportunity to sneak onto the balcony and take out a death stick. I place the cigarette in my mouth and light in, inhaling and letting the sweet smoke makes a home in my lungs before exhaling it into the cold fall evening. Chatter surrounds me as I hear kids laughing and talking about what sweets they got. I smile and stare out at the stars as smoke surrounds me hiding me from the world.
Happy birthday to me.
