Gerard's head flooded with the thoughts of the day, only fading slightly when he rested his head on his pillow and whispered night to Mikey who lay on the top bunk. He laid there for what seemed like forever, thoughts spirally and swirling and of course Franks image kept popping in and out of his head as the time passed and the clock made that annoying ticking noise. He had heard that Frank had returned to the home after a couple of hours and despite a sad glimpse at the shaking Frank, Gerard hadn't spoken to him.

He could tell that Mikey was asleep above him, the covers had stopped ruffling and all was silent, it was then that Gerard felt the sudden urge to pee. He groaned as he removed himself from the warm cave of blankets and felt the cooler air that didn't belong to him hit his skin. His bare feet touched lightly against the soft carpet and he tip-toed to the door, wincing a little as the door squeaked a little when he opened it but still he slipped through the small gap and out of the room. The corridor was almost pitch black and Gerard crept silently down, passing doors on his left and on his right, with every single flicker of a noise
making him stand still like a rabbit with a paw raised slightly above the ground.

He eventually reached the bathroom at the other end of the corridor, switching the light on and entering the room. It was only then that he heard the muffled sobs from the corner of the room, the figure blending perfectly out of sight but now that the bright ceiling light shone down in the room they let their head fall into their shaking hands, not only to escape the light but also to hide the tears.
"Frank?" Gerard whispered, running over to the corner of the room and kneeling down next to him, "Frank what's wrong?"
He gently placed his hand under Franks chin and moved his head upwards, moving a strand of the dark hair from the soft green eyes and holding his head in the palm of his hand.
"What's wrong Frankie?" Gerard whispered again, "it's okay...you can tell me...."

Frank shook his head and closed his eyes, trying to blink away the tears that rolled down his pale face. He lifted his head from Gerards hands and placed it on his knees, encircling them with his own arms tightly.
"Please Frankie...I want to help you...."
"There's nothing you can do to help...." Frank choked back.
"I can try though, can't I?" Asked Gerard, his voice so quiet that it almost disappeared.
"There's no use though Gee. Don't waste your breathe, I don't belong anywhere and I just have to accept that.."
"You do belong somewhere though Frank..."
"But its just not with the countless foster parents that I've had to stay with who all gave up on me at the slightest mistake that I could make."
"T-they they..." Stumbled Gerard, trying to find his words.
"I've given up on hope, I'm probably just going to stay here for the rest of my life and that's fine because no body wants me anyway..."
"I want you..." Gerard spoke under his breathe.
"What?" Franks eyes bolted up from the floor and he stared directly at Gerard.
"I said..." Gerard panicked, "we should probably get you back to bed if you don't watch it then someone might come in here and just start pissing without realising you're here..."
"Yeah...okay..." Frank replied, wiping the last of his tears from his face.
"Listen..." Began Gerard awkwardly, "I really have to pee..."
"its fine..." Frank muttered, turning to face the wall so that he couldn't see Gerard.

When Gerard had finished he washed his hands and the two headed back to Franks room. Frank led Gerard inside the small cosy room with posters blanketing the wall and a huge pile of cd's stacked up in one corner, and a suitcase case that constantly lay half full of scrunched up clothes.

"I'm sorry Gerard..." Frank muttered as he climbed into bed and pulled the covers over his chin, the tears marks still visible as they trailed from his still puffed up red eyes.
"You don't have to be sorry Frankie..." He stood up to leave Franks room and to head back to his own bed.
"Please..." Frank blurted out, "please don't go..."
"Frank I have to g-"
"No!" Frank cried grabbing Gerard's wrist and pulling him back towards him. "Please stay..."
He tugged his arm more like a dog trying to keep their favourite toy.
"Okay...." Sighed Gerard, climbing into bed next to Frank. As soon as Gerards head hit the pillow Franks arm immediately wrapped around him.
"Night night..." Frank muttered whilst resting his head on Gerards chest.

Gerard just lay there not really sure on what to do, I mean: He liked Frank, that was for sure, he was practically in love with everything about him, his personality, the way he smiled, his angelic face and just him and his kindness. He drifted off to sleep, his head resting gently on Franks and his arm hugging his shoulders.
