Only One Way

We went out to eat at this little cafe, it was a nice atmosphere but Gee kept looking around, he was fiddling with his thumbs and his leg wouldn't stop bouncing.

"Gee?" I asked, not being able to take it anymore
"yes frankie?" "What happened back there, at the house. How do you know that guy?" "I told you it's nothing baby."

since when does he call me baby? "Gerard please tell me." I put my hand on his and he immediately calmed down.

"Okay," he said and looked me in the eyes. "Bert, he was an....old boyfriend of mine. Well, actually more of just a constant fuck buddy, there were never any sweet moments with him, just sex. And when it wasn't sex he was.... abusing me, mentally, and physically.

"Oh god Gee" I gasped and put one hand over my mouth while squeezing his hand with the other.

"I dealt with it though, I mean I thought i loved the guy, but I eventually ended things with him, and I met this other guy, he was really sweet and nice but then Bert called me and said he wanted me back. He made all these empty promises about being better for me, and i believed him, so I left Ray, that was the other guys name, and I moved back in with Bert."

"What happened after that?" I asked him, still horrified that this asshole had abused my love.

"It was good for about a week," he continued "but then he started using me for sex again, and he hurt me when I refused. He broke my arm once,I told Mikey about it and he helped me end things again with bert, for real this time. "

"oh god, I'm so sorry Gee." I said, angry and sad and almost in tears. "It's not your fault Frankie" "I know, but it's just so fucking messed up." "It's okay sweetheart." He said and smiled softly.

I smiled back and glanced at the clock on the wall. "Shit Gee your gonna be late for your appointment."

We paid and I drove him to the hospital, holding his hand the whole way. "I love you Gerard." I said as he got out. "I love you too Frankie." He said then walked away.

when I pulled up to the house I was planning on locking myself iny room and think about the shit Gerard's been through, but fate had other plans.

I walked inside and noticed several empty beer cans on the carpet. "heyy shrimp! where's my boytoy?" He slurred and i turned to see him on the couch.

Burt was here, and he was drunk
