Frank's POV

3:00am.
What a fucking night.

I rubbed my eyes open and pulled my arm up to rub my head and realized there were arms wrapped around me. I look over my shoulder and Gee was cuddled up against me. We must've fallen asleep together. I put my arm back over his. It's been awhile since we've done this. Whenever he met Lindsey was when everything stopped between us. Gee was more than my best friend, he was my first love.

I moved here my seventh grade year and I ended up sharing a history class with Mikey. One day he invited me over to his house and that was when I met the fifteen year old Gerard. He kept to himself a lot of the time until I caught him in the basement watching The Nightmare Before Christmas, which is my favorite movie. We started expressing our love for Burton and his work and from that moment on we were inseparable. It got to the point where I would be walking up the yard and he'd have the door open waiting for me.

One day after school he asked me if I wanted to stay the night, I was ecstatic so I buttered up my mom into saying yes and was on my way. That night we did everything. We watched the whole Halloween series, read classic comic books, and even scared the piss out of Mikey, literally.

After got an earful from Mikey about his bladder problem, we retreated back to the basement and held our own little confessional. We talked about how we hated the relationship both our parents had, which is something he's really passionate about. "I hate the way he treats her. She's nothing less than amazing to him and he does nothing to acknowledge her. He doesn't even tell her he loves her anymore." I remember it like it was yesterday. The tears were streaming down his face as he punched the same old couch that we sit on today.

"I'm sorry, Gee. I wish there was something I could do. Stuff like this always happens to the people who least deserve it", I said more than sure I wasn't any help. He looked at me wide eyed, did I say something wrong? He told me no ones ever called him Gee before and started blushing. I wiped the tears away from his face and tucked his hair behind his ear, and that's when it happened.

Our lips collided together. At first I didn't know what to think, but I noticed that I had unconsciously started kissing him back. I ran my fingers through his hair as he kissed me harder. It felt like electric currents were being sent through my body. It was the most amazing thing I've ever felt in my life. He broke the kiss and just stared at me with those beautiful hazel eyes of his. I could do nothing but smile at him. Just his glare set my body on fire. I may have been young, but I knew I was in love with this man.

We were attached at the hip from that point on, wherever Gee was, so was I. We would get judging looks when we were in public, but neither of us paid them any mind. We were never "official" as many would say, but it was obvious we had something. He always made me feel on top of the world and he wasn't scared to show me off. He was quick to tell people how he felt about me and didn't care what people thought of him.

And then Lindsey moved to town.

She was cool at first and got along with everyone. Then I started noticing she grew an interest in Gerard and would always flirt with him. Sometimes he'd return the favor. It hurt a little, but I figured it was just his way of being nice. Then they started hanging out together, go to the comic book store and all these different shows. I started to feel like I was fading into the background.

We were in the basement after school one day and he asked me what was wrong with me because I wasn't talking as much as I normally did. I asked him if he felt anything for Lindsey and he froze. "Yes, yes I do Frankie." In an instant, the tears were falling from my eyes and he held me. " I would've said something sooner, but I didn't know how because I still love you and I didn't want to hurt you for nothing." I knew where he was coming from, I knew he wasn't a bad guy. That day we agreed that we would fall back and see how our new relationships would go. He soon started dating Lindsey and I met Jamia shortly after. I won't say we weren't happy, but I know neither of us will ever forget the moments we shared.

I kissed him on his forehead and laid back down.

I still love you Gee.
