I'll keep you safe.

Franks POV

I watched Gerard sleep since I couldn't sleep as I felt like I should be at least protecting him or something to take some of this pain he was in away.
I noticed that Gerard was crying in his sleep.
"Babe wake up." I said quietly and messed with his hair.
Gerard made himself smaller and his eyes flew open and he sat up.
"Stop hurting me, stop hurting me." He sobbed loudly.
I sat up and put my hand on his back which made him jump and look at me.
He moved and just launched himself at me which made me land flat on my back and my chest getting wet from his tears.
I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him closer to me.
It took him over an hour to calm down and then he fell asleep with his head on my chest and holding onto me for dear life.

A few hours later he woke up and looked at me and rolled away so his back was too me.
"Baby talk to me." I said quietly and cuddled into his back.
"They're always with me. The things what they did to me it won't go away. Why won't it go frank. Why won't it go away?" He sniffed.
I climbed over him and lead back down and faced him and wiped the tears which had fallen away.
"I don't know babe. But maybe talking about it will help, I know it won't stop the mental or physical pain but maybe it'll help." I said quietly.
"I can't talk about it, if they knew I talked about it they'll find me and do really bad things." He sniffed.
"Whatever you say to me is safe with me. I'll never say or do anything which will put you in danger. You mean too much to me to do that." I said and kissed the end of his nose which made him smile a little.
"Want to stay in bed while I make something to eat?" I asked.
"I'm not hungry." He said quietly.
"Okay, we'll just cuddle and watch films then." I said and Gerard nodded.
