Safe me from myself.

Gerard's POV

Everyone was still up when the doorbell went off.
I told dad about Frank going off and he told me not to worry about as the police will pick him up or if he's being drugs he'll spend the night in the cells and get a good telling off by the police.
Dad got up and answered the door and soon there was loads of shouting going on which made me up since I don't like people raising their voices.
"You okay Gee?" Riley asked and I nodded.
"You don't look okay." Nate said.
"I said I'm fine." I snapped and stood up and walked off to my room.
As I walked upstairs and sat on the landing and watched what was happening between Frank and dad.

Dad had Frank pinned in the corner have serious words with him and Frank looked like he could punch dad.
"Well I can keep on running off. You can't fucking stop me!" Frank said loudly.
"You want to be thrown into jail!? Because if you carry on like you are you are going to jail and you will not be out for a long time." Dad said.
"At least I would be where I belonged. At least I can do what the fuck I want inside prison and not be trapped inside a fucking house wasting my fucking life away until this fucking thing comes off." Frank said.
"You be wasting your life in prison!" Dad said loudly and looked round and I hid behind the wall.
"At least I would be with my own kind. You keep on forgetting what I am capable off. Maybe I'll remind you by doing something to your darling children." Frank said seriously.
"I know what you are capable off Frank. You don't need to remind me, I have also seen what happens when you lose control of yourself." Dad said and I was confused in what he was on about.
"Christ you make me sound so dangerous." Frank scoffed and pushed past dad but dad caught hold of his arm and Frank looked at him.
"If you are hearing the voices and having the delusions or seeing things then you need to let me know Frank so you can have your medication." Dad said.
Frank scoffed.
"Like anyone will believe me, I told them at my last place I was hearing the voices and they completely ignored me and then got mad at me when I nearly did something." frank said and dad frowned.
"So even if I was hearing, seeing things I wouldn't tell you." Frank said and looked down.
"Frank you need to tells me what is going on so I can help you. We all want you to stay here, especially Gerard. I don't want to send you back to the ward or jail if I think you're a risk to me and my family and the public." Dad said and Frank stayed quiet.
"Frank you are part of this family now." Dad said and moved towards Frank but Frank moved back.
"Your hearing the voice aren't you?" Dad asked and Frank looked at him.
"No. Now leave me alone." Frank said and made his way upstairs and I quickly went to my room and I heard Frank walk past my room and he went to his room and shut the door behind himself.
I really wanted to talk to him so I went to Franks door and knocked and Frank opened his door.
"Can I come in?" I asked and Frank nodded and moved out the way and let me in and shut the door behind us.

"You can sit down if you want." Frank said as he sat on his bed and I did the same.
"What was you and my dad talking about?" I asked.
Frank chuckled and looked at me.
"About my fucked up head." Frank said quietly and looked down.
"If it makes you feel any better I have social anxiety and rarely speak." I said and Frank chuckled and looked at me.
"And yet you can talk to me." He said.
"I feel like I can talk to you as you will understand." I said and looked at Frank.
"But never trust me. That's one thing you can't do Gerard." Frank said and looked down and picked at his covers.
"Why? I feel like I can trust you and you won't hurt me." I said and Frank shook his head.
"I have anger issues, if you haven't guessed already. I also have psychosis." Frank said.
"Well I guessed the anger issues considering you had me pinned against the wall by my throat earlier." I said and Frank chuckled.
"I am sorry." He said and I smiled and thought about what he said.
"You said I shouldn't trust you why? Most people who have psychosis don't hurt people." I said thinking about what Frank said.
"Well I'm the handful of people who do. The voices I hear tend to tell me to hurt people. Which is why I'm on a tag since I hurt someone and I don't even remember it. Most people are harmless but lucky me I can be aggressive. Which is why you don't trust me Gee." He said.
"Sounds like you have something else Frank." I said and Frank looked at me.
"I know I do, I have to go to the ward next week and have some tests done." He said and sat back on his pillow.
"I'm here if you need to talk." I said and put my hand on his leg which made Frank smiled.
"Want to come to my room and watch a dvd?" I asked and Frank nodded and I got up and Frank followed me to my room.

Frank had fallen asleep and dad was looking Frank.
"Swear to god if he's done another runner I'm going to lock him in his room." Dad said as he stormed up the stairs.
"He's with me." I said and dad came in and looked.
I looked at Frank who was cuddled into my side.
"Has he told you what's wrong with him?" Dad asked.
"Yeah and that he has more tests next week." I said and looked at dad.
"You don't mind him spending the night in you bed?" Dad asked.
"I don't mind dad." I said and looked back at Frank.
"Okay." Dad said and walked off.
"Roll over." Frank muttered and I looked at him confused.
"Roll over god dammit." Frank muttered again and pushed me and I rolled onto my side.
Frank moved and cuddled into my back and put an arm round my waist which made me smile and I watched the film until I fell asleep.
