Vacant heart

(Gerard’s POV)

It had been a week since I started to date Frank. I started to feel something in my chest making me feel whole again. I didn’t know what the feeling was, but I didn’t miss it at the time I stopped feeling it. As soon as I felt it, I felt sad and a bit happy. In the time I was away from him, my head hurt. It felt like I was trying to remember something, but couldn’t. I shrugged it off and waited for Frank to come over today. I opened to door to his cute face with a smile. He launched himself at me kissing me, before he pulled off. “How was your day Frank?” I say closing the door, before walking to the couch where he sat down. “It sucked.” He said. I pulled him closer to me so we were cuddling. “Aww why?” I said. He blushed a bit. “Well one, I didn’t see you all day and two Ray was being an ass to me.” I kissed the top of his head. “Well you’re seeing me now.” I say, with him looking at me with a smile. “And how was Ray being an ass to you?” “He kept taking my ritual and spell books, saying that they are full of nonsense.” My eyes widened from him saying that. Spell books and rituals? The only person I knew who owned some was Alicia. “Frank.” I said cold. He looked a bit scared on how I said that. “Where did you find those books?” He started to get really scared, that he pulled away from me. It bothered me on how he got scared of me. “There’s this abandoned home that looked like it was made in the 1800’s. I explored it and saw a library and took some books.” I got angry, which made Frank get up from the couch. “You looted my brother’s ex-wife’s home?!” I hiss. “Ugh! I’m so fucking stupid for trusting a human!” I say storming out running to her home, trying to not get caught.

It was impossible for him to find her home if her home was lost in the woods along with scraps of my home, Mikey’s home and the Ballato’s. It was a small town, homes were really close together at the time. I ran to her home and it looked untouched. I was hurt. My home, Lindsey’s and Mikey’s home gets taken down, but hers stayed. I walked in and saw how her home wasn’t touched, just dust everywhere with spiders. I went to her study and saw a half erased symbol on the floor it was hard to make out what it was. There was also some books missing. That bitch of a human must have taken them. It didn’t make sense, I have been at his place before and never noticed books in his room, unless he hid them. I yelled from a familiar pain in my chest, causing me to fall to the ground. My eyes rolled to the back of my head as I fell backwards. I started to seizure on the floor. I couldn’t see anything or hear anything. I was too busy shaking and coughing up blood.

(Frank’s POV)

I might’ve been scared of Gerard when he started to yell, but I still cared about him. He worried me when I saw his eyes starting to crack, like they were when I met him. When he got up and ran out of the manor, I got up and chased after him. I followed him to the woods where there are scraps of old homes and a clean looking home, that was preserved for some reason. It seemed like a shock to Gerard that it was still here. He said that was his brother’s ex-wife home. I didn’t know he was divorced to someone. I stood a distance as Gerard walked in and shook off a spider that fell on him. I slowly followed him inside watching for spiders. I watched how Gerard was angry on how I left the room. Gerard grabbed his chest and yelled from a pain. I think he is having a stoke! His eyes rolled to the back of his head and started to seizure on the floor with him coughing up blood. “Gerard!” I yelled crying, as I ran to him.A bright light shot me away making me hit my head on the wall. Everything was blurry, all I saw was a bright figure with a cut wrote on its wrist. “Don’t get near him Frank.” I hear Gerard’s voice say. “Gerard?” I say trying to adjust my eyes to see him. “Yes it’s me Frank, but the one you see when we are together. The one that scares you is my evil half, that sent me away in 1837.” He says trying to hold me, but passed through me instead. “W-Why is he like this?” I asked crying. “We lost everyone. The village killed our family and friends. Gerard was innocent and got revenge and killed off the town. One day I couldn’t handle it anymore so I cut the rope you see on my wrist. When he started to feel feelings towards you, the rope was rebuilding, but he is much stronger than me.” “W-What are you?” “I am Gerard’s Vacant heart. I am sure you read about it Frank.” In one of the books I took it was destroyed, but it said something about a Vampire with a Vacant heart. It said they are split into two. The good old self they were and the psycho killer. “Please save me Frank. Please before it’s too late. It was almost too late in the 1840’s, but he wasn’t completely gone.” I stood up crying. “I-I am sorry.” “It’s okay Frank. Watch after him for me please?” I nod and soon after that he vanishes and the Gerard on the floor that was having a seizure shot up, panicking. I ran to him and hugged him. “It’s okay Gerard. I am here.”

(Gerard’s POV)

H-He actually cares? Am I wrong about humans? Sure it’s no longer the 1800’s, but could they really evolve over time? “Are you okay Gerard?” He asks pulling off of me. I saw how much he was crying and hurt and worried his eyes said. My body wasn’t responding all I could do was look him in the eye. “Are you paralyzed?” He asks crying. I am afraid I am. “I am going to try to carry you.” He says picking me up. He grunts trying to carry me out the door. My body still wasn’t responding which made me heavy. I can’t believe he cares. It made me happy. He opened the door to my manor and dropped me on the couch as he popped his back. He went and closed the door before he came and sat next to me. “Your body might not be responding, but your face is.” He says as he moves my hair out of my face. “You’re smiling.” He says. Am I actually smiling? “It’s getting pretty late. I should head out, but I don’t want to leave you here alone in this condition.” I was able to feel my face and voice now. “T-Thank you F-F-Frank-k-kie.” I say smiling. What is going on? It’s like I am my old self. I thought I killed it years ago. He pecks my lips, before he speaks. “Don’t worry, Gerard. I will always be by your side.” I smiled at him. Maybe he is the one to save me.

Notes

I was looking back to my old fics and I missed how I made Frank and Gerard so I wanted to bring Frank back after a few chapters of him not being there. Plus my fics are getting shorter. I looked back to I constantly thank you (I am working on it :D) And the chapters were over 5000 words and now they are between 1500 to 900 :/ I see people reading this fic, can you please comment? I would appreciate it :)
