The Kids From Yesterday

FRANK'S POV

I felt Gerard stiffen beside me.
My "dad" looked a lot better this time. He had shaved and actually had bought decent clothes. My mom was on the other sofa, looking up at me apologetically.
"Miss Iero?" Gerard asked uncertainly, taking my hand.
"Mom, what's going on?"
My mom took a deep breath before explaining.
"Look, Frank. Your father wanted to make things right, and i thought that you would appreciate it. Of course, it took a lot of convincing. I wasn't going to let him anywhere near you, but ... I didn't know what you'd want, and your father is only in town for a little while, depending on how you take this..."
I was shocked. What was happening? This man had left me once and the second time he saw me he called me afaggot before he was literally thrown out by the woman who was now encouraging me to get to know the guy ...
Gerard squeezed my hand reassuringly. I knew that no matter what, my so-called father would never be able to make up for all the birthdays and Christmas days he missed. Not with money or love.
"Of course, its up to you," mom said. My dad was still staring at the floor. "If you want me to throw him out again, i will..." she trailed off. I heard Mikey and Ray whisper their goodbyes. I couldn't look at them. I was frozen in confusion and shock.
"Mom..." I mumbled once i was able to speak. "I've been fine without this man all my life. And he blew his second chance. I could really do without this right now." i then went up stairs, pulling Gerard with me.
