We Could Be Demolition Lovers

Franks Pov

I CANNOT believe what’s happening right now. One minute our band seems to be doomed and the next thing I know Gerard fuckin WAY is the frontrunner to be our new lead singer. Frontrunner? Who am I kidding? He’s clearly our only option! And Bob and Mikey blew this shit out of the water too! ‘Ughh’ I groan internally. This is it. This is actually going to be our band, granted they say yes. What in the actual fuck is my life right now??

“When can you guys start?” Ray asks them, snapping me out of my mini mental breakdown.

“Oh, right away man!” Mikey assures. Bob seems to agree to Mikey’s notion as he gives a slight nod of his head, and Gerard, well Gerard looks just about as out of it as I’m sure I do.

“Awesome! I’m thinking we could have our first band meeting slash practice on Monday after school. Frank, what do you think?” Ray asks, turning to face me. My cheeks heat up as everyone turns to face me.

“Umm y-yeah, that uhh, that should be good.” I stumble out, mentally face palming myself. I sound so stupid!

Ray opens his mouth to continuing speaking, but is interrupted by the annoying girl that Gerard brought with him. She strides past Ray and I and flings herself into Gerards arms.

“Gee baby you sounded soooo good!” She squeaks out as she removes her arms from around his neck and pulls his face into a sloppy kiss. I roll my eyes internally at the sight. This bitch.

“Thanks Lynz.” Gerard replies breathlessly as they break apart. In that moment I can’t help but think that I should be the one making Gerard breathless. Well this blows!

There’s a brief moment of silence as everyone takes a moment to process the pda we were just exposed to. I take the moment of silence to go over 80 different ways I could possibly dispose of the annoyance that is Lynz. My ideas range from “accidentally” hitting her with a bus to death by T-Rex. I let out a small chuckle at the thought, which seems to snap everyone back into reality.

“Okay...so Monday it is. If you guys could be here around 4 that would be great.” Ray says with a smile.

“Yeah man, we’ll be here.” Bob replies.

“Alright, we’re gonna take off. This was really great, honest. Can’t wait to work with you guys.” Mikey chirps. He waves a goodbye to us as he takes off out of the garage and back toward their car. Gerard, Lynz and Bob follow behind, offering us slight waves as they go.

I’m just about to let out a sigh of relief when Gerard stops at the end of the driveway and turns back to us.

“Hey! Mikes and I are having a party at our house tomorrow! You two better be there!” He shouts to us before crossing the street to his car.

“Dude we don’t have your address!” Ray shouts back.

“I wouldn’t worry about that!” Gerard shouts as he hops in his car. I swear I see him wink at me before he takes off down the street.

“Dude you cannot *actually be thinking of going to their party.” I say as I turn to Ray.

“Oh suck it up Frodo. We can and we will.” He replies.

“Okay, two things. First off, I love Frodo Baggins as much as the next guy but DO NOT call me that. Second, I will not go to that party, not with that ass-hat and his obnoxious girlfriend.” I say whilst rolling my eyes as dramatically as possible. Ray just laughs at my childishness.

“Alright, short-stuff. I’ll tone it down with the nicknames but we *are going to that party. They’re gonna be in our band, might as well get used to having them around. Plus it’s the perfect opportunity to show that ass-hat what he’s missing.” Ray says with a smirk.

“And who says I want to do that?” I respond nonchalantly.

“You do.” Ray says knowingly. Damn him for being right all the time.

“Fine, fine, whatever. I’ll go. I’m gonna head home now though, long day.” I say. Just thinking about all that’s happened and all that’s still to come has made me beyond tired.

“Sure thing, dude. We can chill some other night. Actually, I guess we’ll be hanging out tomorrow night anyway, if we get that address, that is.” Ray says with a slightly confused look on his face.

“Oh yeah, what the heck was that about anyway? You don’t just invite someone somewhere and not give them any of the damn details. Dude is weird, but I guess we can just figure it out tomorrow. I’ll text you or something.” I respond before taking off toward my house.



When I finally get home I go straight up the stairs to my room and flop on the bed. I just need a little nap, plus mom seems to still be at work and I’m not even going to attempt to make myself dinner. I’d probably end up burning the house down, I’ve come damn close before. Maybe I should burn Lindsey’s house down. No, that’s a terrible idea. Cool it, Frank.
‘Gahh why does the good guy never get the girl?’ I think to myself as I’m slowly drifting off. Or i guess in my case ‘Why does the punk never get the ass-hat?’ Ha, yeah, that seems more fitting. ‘I’m going to show Gerard what he’s missing’ is the last thought to go through my head before sleep overcomes me.



“Ughh” I grunt as I wake up to the pinging sound of my phone receiving a text.

I grab my phone and see that it’s just about 10pm, which means I slept for around two hours. The noises coming from downstairs must mean mom’s home. I’m glad she let me sleep.
As I go to check my texts I realize that the one I just received is from an unknown number.
When I open it up it simply reads,

: Hey loser.

Me: Who is this?

: Guess. That’ll make this more fun.

Me: Ray?

: Nope

Me: Mom??

: lol wtf dude, no

Me: Well I hardly speak to anyone else so I’m just going to assume I don’t know you. BYE.

: Wait! I’ll give you a hint, alright?

Me: Okay then?

: It’s Gerard

Me: Do you know what a hint even is? And how the hell did you get my number??

: Chill, dude. I’ve got my ways. Anyway, you want the party deets or what?

Me: sure, whatever

: alright, party starts at 8. I’ll have Bob pick you guys up from Ray’s house in my car, that way I don’t have to type out a long-ass list of directions.

Me: K

: Ouch man, shouldn’t you be nicer to your bandmate?

Me: Nope. gtg. Bye.

I turn off my phone and toss it to the side, not even waiting to see how he replies.
A few moments later I hear a knocking at my door.

“Frankie, can I come in” My mom asks.

“Yeah ma.” I call back. The door swings open and my mom props herself against the doorframe.

“Hey hun, you were sleeping when I got home, but since you’re up do you want to come down and eat? I ordered some chinese and I thought we could just relax and maybe watch some movies?” She asks. Gahh, I love my mom.

“Of course, yeah. I’ll be right down.” I say, as my mom makes her way out of my room and back down the stairs. Gosh, I don’t know what I’d do without her. My dad wasn’t a very good guy and when he left us years ago my mom didn’t let it break her. She just put on a brave face and did all that she could to support the two of us. I am always going to admire my mothers strength, no doubt.

Once I’ve got my batman pajamas on I make my way downstairs, following the strong smell of the glorious chinese food. I didn’t realize just how hungry I was until now. When I step into the kitchen my mom has already gotten two plates out and piled them high with food. As she hands one of the plates to me, loaded with vegetable lo mein and some spring rolls, I can’t help but smile to myself. She knows me so well and I love that. When I had decided at a young age to become vegetarian she never tried to talk me out of it, she just accepted it and did her best to always have vegetarian options around the house for me.

“Thanks ma.” I smile at her before taking my food toward the living room.

Mom comes in a few minutes after me and situates herself next to me on the couch. We eat our food while watching The Nightmare Before Christmas since it’s one of our favorites. Just as Jack is opening the door to Christmas Town my mom begins to speak.

“Hey, your auditions were today, right hun?” She questions. Oh gosh, I do not want to get into this topic right now, but I can’t just not answer her, she’s my ma after all.

“Oh ahh, yeah ma, they were.” I respond monotonously, hoping she’ll drop the subject. Of course, being the nosy ma that she is, she doesn’t.

“Wellllll-” She drawls out, “how’d it go?”

“It ahh...it went alright. It, it was good. We actually sorta have a band now, I guess.” I say while scratching the back of my head. We’re getting too close having to bring up Gerard, and I’d rather not.

“That’s great hun! So how many members are there now? Are they boys? Girls? Boys *and Girls? Give me some details!”

“Alright, alright. Geez!” I can’t help but let out a small chuckle at my moms eagerness. “Well for starters, there are five of us now. All boys. We have our first “rehearsal” on Monday after school and ahh...well the new guys sorta invited Ray and I to a party they’re throwing tomorrow. Is it cool if I go? I mean I don’t really want to and I-”

“Of course you can go!” My mom interrupts “ you never get out of the house unless you’re headed to Ray’s or school. I think it’ll be good for you to make some more friends.” She encourages. I guess the one downside to my mom being awesome is that when I want her to say no to something, she does the opposite.

“Oh...okay. Well I probably won’t stay that long but I guess I’ll stop in at least for Ray’s sake.”

“Alright hun, but Frankie, try not to get into any trouble.” She says with a smile while glancing at me.

“Who, me? Never.” I say, putting a hand to my chest and feigning disbelief which earns me a laugh from my mom.

After that we just sit and continue to watch the movie in a comfortable silence. Towards the end of the film I start to feel sleep creeping up on me, and the last thing I see before my eyes droop shut is the first snowfall mesmerizing the citizens of Halloweentown as the Sandy Claws flies overhead.



I wake up Saturday morning to find myself still on the couch, covered in a fluffy black blanket. My mom must have covered me up before she made her way to bed last night. I let out a small groan as I get up and head to the kitchen. There’s a note on the counter from ma that reads,

‘Hey hun, had to go in for the early shift at work this morning. I probably won’t be in until after you’ve headed to the party. Love you, stay safe, and don’t forget to feed yourself!’

Ha, typical ma. I wish she didn’t have to work so much. I ‘d like to help her out more, but the woman is so darn stubborn, she refuses to let me get a job for now. She says school is most important and that I just need to focus on that. Hopefully I can manage to keep my grades up at least. I mean, I’m no scholar, but like, I’m not too bad.

Since I don’t have anything planned for today (except for that party) I decide to just spend the majority of the day on the couch watching cartoons. Nothing beats snuggling up on the couch on a Saturday morning while watching some Cartoon Network. Seriously, Tom and Jerry, Teen Titans, I even watch the occasional episode of King of the Hill. It’s great, although sometimes I do have to switch over to Nickelodeon to get my Spongebob fix.

Around 7pm I decide to finally pry myself off the couch and get ready for the night. Ray is expecting me to be at his house just before 8 so that Bob can pick us up. ‘I really hope this night isn’t a disaster’ I think to myself as I enter my room.

“What do you even wear to these thing?” I mutter as I rummage through my drawers.

I decide on wearing a form-fitting black Misfits tee and some dark grey skinny jeans. Once I’m dressed I wander across the hall into the bathroom. My hair reaches just past my ears now and it kinda curls off at the ends. It doesn’t look too bad so I just decide to leave it hanging down and natural, I don’t really like the feel of hair gel anyways. I make a last minute decision to swipe a thin line of eyeliner along my waterline.

By the time I’m finished up in the bathroom it’s time for me to start heading toward Ray’s, so I make my way downstairs and throw on my black cons and grab a jacket off the coat rack before heading out the door.



“Hey man! Didn’t think you’d show” Ray calls out from where he’s sat on his porch steps.

“Well you didn’t give me much of a choice!” I call back, making my way up his walk to sit beside him.

“True. Anyway, Bob should be here any minute now. Oh, and try not to be too much of an ass tonight.” Ray jokes, earning himself a smack on the arm from me.

Just as Ray goes to smack me back we see Gerards car pull up in front of the house with Bob behind the wheel. Ray hops in the passenger seat and I get in the back.

“Hey. You guys ready for tonight?” Bob asks as he pulls out onto the street. Ray and I simultaneously respond with ‘yeahs’ , Bob just nods at that and the rest of the ride is spent in a somewhat awkward silence.

We reach our destination about ten minutes later. I can tell, even before we actually arrive, which house is the Ways because there are so many cars parked out front and a bunch of high school kids hanging out on the lawn in various states of non-sobriety. Bob pulls right into the driveway and parks. I’m assuming no one else parked here because they knew it was Gerard’s spot, of course. The three of us make our way up the front porch and into the house. Bob immediately heads toward another part of the house while Ray and I are left standing just inside the front door, taking everything in. Their house looked decent sized on the outside, but I swear it looks even bigger on the inside. From what I can see it is a very well decorated home, even though it’s littered with drunken teenagers at the moment. Just as I’m admiring an amazing painting of a sunset that is hung in their living room a black haired ass-hat jumps right in front of my face, causing me to jump slightly from shock.

“Hey! You guys made it!” Gerard greets us, a happy and slightly buzzed smile plastered to his face.

“Maybe we should just go, it seems pretty packed in here anyway.” I turn and say to Ray. Unfortunately Gerard picks up on what I’m saying.

“No way! You guys are staying. I didn’t invite you just so you could leave. Come on, we’ve got drinks in the kitchen. We were actually just about to start playing some games so your timing is pretty perfect.” He says. Or rather, he demands. I take my jacket off and toss it on a chair before following.

Thankfully the kitchen isn’t nearly as packed as the living room was. Bob, Mikey, Lynz and a few other kids I recognize from Gerards posse are all in a group by the dining room, chatting with each other. Gerard quickly gets drinks for Ray and I and hands the large red cups over to us.

“What exactly is this?” I question, somewhat fearful that they really just invited us here to poison us. I honestly wouldn’t put it past Gerard. He’s being suspiciously nice and it’s making me uneasy.

“Just drink! I swear I didn’t do anything to it alright?” Did he just read my fuckin mind or something?

“Hey guys! Let’s take it to the living room, it’s show time.” Gerards shouts to his friends.

“Come on.” He gestures for Ray and I to follow.

Once we’re in the living room we situate ourselves into a circle. Some people are on the couches, a few are on chairs and the rest have made themselves comfortable on the floor. All in all there are about fifteen of us making up the circle while the rest of the partygoers continue on around us.

“What are we playing Gee?” Lynz asks from her spot next to Gerard. Just my luck I got sat on a couch with the two of them and directly next to Gerard. At least Ray is on my left so I don’t feel too out of place.

“Hmm, I don’t know. Any suggestions.” Gerard asks the group. There are multiple shouts for truth or dare. This is going to suck, I can feel it.

“Alright truth or dare it is. Rules are if you can’t follow through with whatever you’re asked or dared to do then you’ve gotta drink up. Mikes, you can go first.” Gerard states.

“Okay, ahh. Jake, truth or dare?” Mikey questions the jock-looking blonde sat on the floor.

“Dare, always dare dude.” The jock, Jake, responds with a smirk.

“Bad choice, man, bad choice. I dare you to go find that Jenny chick you’re always talking about and go spank her!.” Mikey dares.

“Dude I woulda done that anyways! Alright I’m goin but I might not come back if you know what I mean so ahh Lynz you take care of my turn for me.” Jake says as he takes off out of the living room. Wow, what a d-bag. I hope that Jenny girl slaps him.

“Yes! My turn! Alright, hmm...Pete, truth or dare?” She questions the boy on the chair next to her. I recognize him Gerards group but I never knew his name until now.

“Dare.” Pete states.

“Perfect. Alright I’ve got the perfect one! Pete I dare you to kiss Frank!” She chirps while pointing to me. I’m certain my face is as red as a tomato at this point.

Pete leans past Lynz to get a better look at me before he responds.

“You’re daring me to makeout with a hot guy? I accept.” He says as makes his way over to me.

“No less than 30 seconds!” Lynz adds in.

Before I have any time to object, Pete is leaning down right in front of my face and pulling me in. I jolt slightly from the shock and it takes me just the first five seconds to realize what’s happening. ‘Remember you want to show Gerard what he’s missing’ My brain tells me, and with that I begin to kiss back. I don’t feel anything for Pete, he’s attractive and all but no one can compare to the ass-hat named Gerard that’s sitting beside me. Pete is just trying to work his tongue into my mouth when someone clears their throat, signalling that time is more than up.

“Damn, kid. You’re good with your mouth.” Pete winks at me as he makes his way back to his seat.

I glance around at everyone as I tried to catch my breath. No one seems too phased by what just happened but when my eyes flicker to Gerard he is already staring back at me. I can’t quite place the emotion in his eyes but it almost looks like jealousy? Whatever it is makes me uneasy so I shift my gaze away and try to focus on anything that isn’t Gerard.

Someone is in the middle of daring their friend to run around the block naked when I decide it’s time for me to head to the bathroom. I tap Ray and tell him I’ll be back in a few minutes. I make my way up the stairs to second floor, there surprisingly don’t seem to be any kids up here I note as I head into the bathroom. Once I relieve myself I exit the bathroom and notice Gerard walking toward me. ‘He must need to use the bathroom too’ I think to myself. I move aside so that he can walk past, but as he passes me I feel a hand tighten around my wrist and next thing I know I’m being dragged back into the bathroom. Once inside, Gerard slams the door shut and shoves me against it. I bring my arms up to shield my face, afraid of the beating I’m sure is to come. After almost a minute of nothing happening, I slowly bring my arms down and rest them at my sides. Gerard is just standing in front of me, staring at me while gnawing on his thumb nail.

“Umm, what the hell is going on?” I ask, gaining some of my confidence back.

“Shh, just, just shut up okay?” Gerard hisses.

“No. Seriously what is this Gerard? Is this all some kind of prank. Did you invite Ray and I just so you could beat me up, huh? Well you’re an idiot if you think I’m just gonna stand here while you-” I stop mid-speech as I see something dark flash through Gerards eyes. He takes two quick strides and stops just in front of my face.

“Frank. Shut. Up..” He orders, sickeningly calm.

“No, you have no control over me. I’m not going to sit here and take any crap from you Gerard. I haven’t even done anything to you tonight, like seriously what the hell?” I snap back.

“That’s the problem though, isn’t it Frank? You haven’t done anything to *ME. Pete gets to have his mouth all over you and you just let him.” He snaps back at me. Wait what? Was it really jealousy I saw in his eyes then?

“Wait, are you saying that you’re...that you’re jealous of me and Pete??” I question. Gerard goes slightly pink at my notion. I’ve never seen Gerard Way flustered...until now.

“Shut up.” Is his only response.

I don’t know what possesses me to do this but I take a step forward to close the gap between Gerard and I, then grab his face and crash his lips to mine. He tastes sweeter than I imagined. I move my lips against his for a moment, just savoring the taste before it actually clicks what I’m doing and I break away.

“Oh god, I-I’m so sorry I-”

“Frank. Shut up.” Gerard breathes out before smashing his lips back to mine. He grabs my waist and roughly pushes me up against the door. After a few moments I feel him lick my bottom lip, asking for permission to enter. I immediately open my mouth and grant him access. His tongue darts inside my mouth, gaining dominance almost instantly. He massages his tongue against mine and I can’t help but let out a small moan which causes us to break away briefly before he reattaches his lips to my neck. As he sucks and nips at my flesh I feel myself growing harder and harder. My need to just be touched disappears as Gerard wedges his knee between my legs and grinds into me. We both moan out at the relief that the friction is causing.

“Frankie, I need more. Need to touch you.” Gerard rasps out, his voice lowering to the sexiest tone I’ve ever heard.

“Then touch me.” Is my reply. With that Gerard pulls away and grabs the hem of my shirt yanking it up over my head and throwing it to the side. He pauses for a moment and just stares at my body, eyes wide.

“Your tattoos.” Is all he says before diving back in and reattaching his lips to my flesh. He runs his tongue slowly from my neck all the way down my chest and down my stomach, until he comes in contact with the denim fabric of my jeans. He looks up then, eyes pleading.

“Can I?” He asks.

“Y-yes.” I gasp out. Gerard brings his hands up and his fingers are just about to undo the button of my jeans when there is a loud knock on the door, snapping us out of lustful haze.

“Hey, Gee! Baby you in there?!” The unmistakable voice of Lynz calls out.

“Oh god, oh god, oh god.” I mutter.

“Frank calm down it’s okay.” Gerard tries.

“What?” I hiss. “Your girlfriend is right out there. I-I gotta go. I gotta get out of here” I rant out before flying out the bathroom door, past Lynz and straight out the house, shirt, jacket and Ray forgotten. I heard Gerard calling after me, but I just keep on running.What the hell do I do now?
