My Ferard Romance
So Long and Goodnight
(Gerard pov)
Two days later:
Its the day of the funeral and I'm still not feeling myself, I try and stay strong for Frank cause I don't want to lose him. I'm getting on my suit and so is Frank. He's coming with me cause I really need him as my rock through this. I haven't spoken much since. Not even to Frank. I haven't even left the apartment.
"Ready to go?" Frank says the best way possible.
I just nodded "yes" and we left to go down and get a taxi. And we took it all the way to the funeral hall in Jersey.

Its been quite around the house I haven't gone to school and dad hasn't gone to work either, also we haven't said much to each other in past couple of days. Dads been drinking a lot of alcoholic drinks lately. I'm a bit worried about him. We're getting our suits on and we head over to the funeral home. I'm nervous about Gerard. I haven't heard anything from him or Frank since, and I hope he's ok.
Me and dad got to the funeral home early and get everything ready and set up. We told just about everyone. We called my cousins, her siblings (my aunts and uncles), my grandmother, my dads siblings, and basically just a lot of people. I looked outside and I saw a yellow NYC taxi out front. I saw Frank come out of it and then I saw Gerard sluggishly get out, and they walked in. He did not look so good, I mean he looked nice because he was in a suit. But other than that he looked tired.
He was close to mom, and spent a lot of time with her, when he wasn't alone in his room. I on the other hand, I loved my mother but we agreed to disagree and it caused friction between us. When they walked in I hugged them, then took them to the room. Gerard went right to the casket and kneeled down next to her. Frank stood next to him and rubbed his back. I'm so glad Gerard has someone like Frank to care for him. It wasn't to long after I was told she died when it hit me, that she could have been the one bury me a few weeks ago. And now I know how how she would have felt. And I feel really bad about it.

We finally arrived at the funeral hall and I slowly get out of the taxi and we walk into the place and was greeted by Mikey, with a hug then I saw my father there too. But I went right to my mothers casket, kneeled down and said a little prayer. Now I'm not religious, what so ever but I felt that it was the right thing to do. Frank walked up behind me and rubbed my back.
When I was done I stood up and sat down in the chair and waited for this to start and end. After a while people were coming in and talking about her and life. I pretty much stayed where I was and Frank stayed too because he really didn't know anyone. I did cause their all my relatives so when they came over I had to introduce him and explain them who he was. After the first couple of times it got really annoying o say.
Once everyone arrived and were seated they finally started. My dad started off speaking, then Mikey said something. I was told to talk, but I couldn't I was still to upset so I passed. A few of my aunts and uncles went up to speak. The whole thing must have taken a few hours. Once everyone finished and said everything they had to. We all went to the back room to eat some food and talk.
I still don't feel like taking, really only to Frank a little bit. I ate a little, but I wasn't hungry. I looked to Mikey and he was talking to people, he always the more talkative one out of the two of us. I looked over at my father and he was pounding down beer after beer. I hope Mikey drives home. I told Frank to get Mikey over so I can talk to him.
"Mikey!" Frank said loudly.
He looked up and Frank motioned him to come over here. Once he was here I said to him.
"Gerard wants to talk to you" Frank said to him.
"What's up Gerard" Mikey said quietly to me.
I started off by saying "don't let dad drive he's been pounding down the beers..." He nodded "yes"
"...second, I'm sorry I didn't go up and say anything before, I'm still in shock that this happened and..." He cut me off.
"Say no more I understand it's a lot going on, it is for me too" Mikey said to me.
Then he hugged me and got up and went to talk to other people. I looked over at Frank and grabbed his hand and just held it for a while.
I looked at him again and said to him
"Thank you so much Frank for being here for me, there's a lot going on and I'm sorry I ruined your birthday, but, I love you so much Frankie" I said to him.
"I love you too gee, and I know how hard this is for you, but you need to know that I'm not going anywhere, I'll always be here for you, we'll get through this. Don't worry about my birthday you didn't ruin it. I love you" Frank said to me, then leaned to me and kissed me.
Once everyone else left and it was just me, Frank, Mikey and my dad, Frank and I decided that we were going to go home. We said bye to them and I reminded Mikey to drive home. He was like "I know". So we left and took another taxi home.
In the taxi ride home I finally accepted the fact that she's gone and I know my mother want me to linger on this. I'll never forget how wonderful she was, I'll never be able to get over it but I won't let it consume my life. I'll try and get my life back together, for Frank's sake. I know he probably doesn't want to marry a guy who can't accept his mothers death, but I have to try and be strong.
I took Frank to our bedroom and told him that while I get my life back together that we should slow down and wait a while. He was disappointed but he understands and is on with it. So we just cuddle, kiss and hold hands, for now. So I kissed him goodnight and we just laid their cuddling the rest of the night.
