Frank's POV

I was looking through the cupboards since I was hungry when I felt myself being spun round and after a moment I looked up and saw Gerard.
"You look like your struggling there." Gerard said and I rolled my eyes.
"I know I'm short but seriously I have my ways of getting what I want." I said and turned back round and closed my eyes to see if I could find what I'm looking for but there wasn't anything I wanted.
"You guys really need to start remembering I'm a vegetarian." I said and turned round to look at Gerard.
"We can always go out now and buy you food." Gerard said and I looked down remembering the last time I was around humans and it didn't end very well for me or the humans.
"What's up?" Gerard asked seriously.
"The last time I was round humans things didn't end too good." I said and looked down and messed with my hands.
"What happened?" Gerard asked and I just used transmutation and was outside before I carried on talking about what happened.

I was sat on the floor messing with pyrokinesis when I heard someone sit next to me.
"I want to help you Frank but I can't do that if you just block me out and don't open up on what has happened." Gerard said.
I just stayed quiet and Gerard sighed loudly.
"Talk to me Frank. I have to know so I can help you." Gerard said and he touched my leg and pretty much all of Gerard's life came flashing through my head.
"I've told you not to touch me. And its alright for you because you have never fucked up. You are perfect compared to the shit I have done." I said and moved myself away from Gerard.

"I'm not perfect Frank, why don't you like people touching you?" Gerard asked.
"You are perfect Gerard. You did well at school, you never broke the rules. I know you was a alcoholic." I said and looked at Gerard.
"How do you know that? I've told no one about me being a alcoholic even Alexis doesn't know that." Gerard said and looked at me hard.
"The sight." I said and Gerard frowned at me.
"You touch me and your whole past and future goes dancing across my mind." I said.
"The greatest power to have but the most painful one to have." Gerard said quietly and looked at me.
"I know what happens Gerard, I know what happened to you while you was a alcoholic. Your secret is safe with me." I said and put my hand on his knee and ignored what was going through my head.
"You know my secret I think its only fair you tell me yours." Gerard said quietly and I looked down and moved my hand away from Gerard.
"I can't." I whispered and got up and walked off.

---

"I haven't seen him since this morning." I heard Gerard say as I walked in the kitchen freezing my ass off since it was still winter outside.
" I'm f..f..fine G..G..Gee." I shivered which made everyone look round.
"Where the fucking hell have you been!" Gerard said loudly.
I flinched away from him bring back memories of what it was like before I ran away from home.
"Don't yell at me." I said quietly.
"What do you want me to do Franklin!" Gerard shouted again and this time I couldn't help but sink to the floor and felt myself cry.
"Shit Gerard stop yelling at him." I heard Reagan say as she walked over and sat on the floor next to me and she pulled me to her side.
"Sweetie your freezing." Reagan said and pulled away from me a little.
"Alexis run the bath, Quinn can you get me his duvet or a blanket and Xander make Frank a hot drink. Elijah, Xavier take Gerard out the room before he upsets Frank more than he already is." Reagan said taking full control of this situation.
" I'm not leaving him." Gerard said and I felt Reagan getting up.
"You have done enough Gerard. You have upset him so much that he's fucking crying. Your meant to protect him and keep him safe. You are not doing that Gerard if anything after this you have probably pushed him enough to run away." Reagan said and I felt Gerard's eyes on me.
I stayed looking down feeling tears roll down my face.
"You need to give him space. I'm going to look after him tonight." Reagan said calmly.
"Come on Gee, Reagan has this all sorted. Lets go and chill for a while yeah." Elijah said and I dont know what Gerard's response was as he didnt speak.

"Come on doll, go and sit at the table where your not in the draft." Reagan said quietly and I shook my head.
I felt something being put over my shoulders which made me jump and flinch away from this person.
"Its okay buddy, its just your covers which will keep you warm." Xander said softly and I looked down and wrapped it round myself more.
"Can you sit with him since its getting hard to sit on the floor and get back up again all the time." Reagan said.
Xander chuckled and I heard him slide down the wall and sat next to me on the floor.
"Here's a coffee, might warm you up a little." Xander said and handed me a coffee which I didn't take.
"Your lips are still blue bud, your gonna catch yourself a death if you don't warm up soon." Xander said.
"I don't care anymore." I whispered and sniffed loudly.
"Don't be saying that buddy." Xander said and pulled me to his side where I felt myself cry again.
"The bath is ready." Alexis said and I felt her look at me.
"Are you okay to handle this Xander?" Reagan asked.
"Yeah." Xander said and squeezed my shoulder.
"Come on let's give a nice warm bath where you'll warm up." Xander said and I moved away from him and stood up and slowly made my way to the bathroom.

I walked past some room and I heard Gerard shouting and losing his mind.
It scared me so I quickly walked past that room and went to the bathroom where I locked the door so no one could get in.
I got undressed and got in the bath and looked down my scared arms and chest and I felt myself begin to cry again.

After crying I felt really tired so I got out the bath and put my pants back on and wrapped myself in my covers again and made my way to my bed.
I was nearly at my room when I heard a door open.
"Frank?" I heard Gerard asked and I turned around and saw Gerard standing there look as broken as I felt.
"Gerard leave him alone." Elijah said and caught hold of Gerard's arm.
"Frank please, let me explain." Gerard said and I shook my head and turned round and walked to my room and collapsed onto my bed and I slowly drifted of to sleep but not before I felt myself being picked up and put back down on the bed and someone sitting on the bed.
"I'm sorry for shouting at you. Please don't run away. I'm sorry I let you down." I heard Gerard whisper and he kissed the top of my head.
After than I have no idea what he said or what happened as I was fast asleep.
