The Kids From Yesterday

GERARD'S POV

I woke up the next morning with a pounding headache and I felt slightly nauseous. Frank was next to me, still asleep. He must've been mentally and emotionally drained after yesterday ...
I pictured what the situation would have been like if it was Frank's mom who died, and I was the one taking care of an emotionally unstable Frank.
I don't think I would have been able to endure seeing him like that.
I shook him awake and apologized for having to let him see me like that, and thanked him for being the best boyfriend anyone could ask for. He insisted that I had nothing to he sorry about, and after I'd finished puking into the toilet, we had a movie day. Mom was still in bed. I even offered to send Frank home if she wanted me and Mikey today, but she insisted that she just needed some time alone.

The whole day me and Frank stayed in my bed watching TV and eating. It was nice to have a distraction from my thoughts. Until Frank left. He was more than willing to stya another night, but I knew he needed to freshen up and be alone with his thoughts for a while.
I had a hot, long shower,standing in the flow of water. Not washing, just letting it clear my mind. I tried to delay going to bed fr as long as possible, because then it would just be me and my thoughts. But even after spending probably about twenty minutes too long of drying my hair, and drying my body as slowly as possible, and shaving, and tidying my room and making my bed, I knew I couldn't delay it any longer. I cheked on mom and Mikey before I climbed into bed. They were both sleeping, and I thinkbyhey had been for the whole day. This made me feel a little guilty. It was selfish of me, not spending the day comforting them.
But I pushed then thought out of my mind. I couldn't afford to Jake myself feel any worse right now.

Like I had feared, i cried myself to sleep that night.
