Bulletproof Heart

Gerard’s POV

I heard a alarm go off and it wasn’t my alarm and then I heard someone sigh loudly and rolled over turning the alarm off and throwing what I guess was their phone onto the bed and they rolled back over and I felt them cuddle into my back which made me tense.
”Relax, I’m not going to hurt you okay.” The person said with their voice sounding very thick with sleep.
“How do I know that?” I whispered and the person brought their hand up to my shoulder and they gently pushed me onto my side where I looked at saw Frank moving back near my body to get comfy again.
”Because you don’t have to be afraid of me Gee.” Frank mumbled and I felt his breaths even out on my skin which made sigh as I got comfy and fell back asleep until another alarm went off which me and Frank both woke up too but we stayed in bed.

We both decided that we didnt want to go to school so we finally moved from the bed to what would be the sitting area of the caravan.
”You going to tell me who beat you up?” Frank said which made me jump since we was both happy in the comfortable silence we was in.
”It was nobody.” I said quietly and I heard Frank walk over and gently getting hold of my face and making me look at him.
”This was nobody Gee.” Frank said softly as his finger skimmed over my lip which made me pull a face since it still hurt.
”What will you do if I told you?” I asked as Frank moved his hand and I stayed looking at him.
”I would do exactly the same to them as what they did to you.” Frank said and I nodded and looked down.
”It was some friends of that kid which showed me round. They said that I should of chosen my friends better and that Gypsies don’t make friends and that they are vile people who are nothing but scum.” I said but I was keeping most of what they said to me to myself as it was something personal.
”You’re still hiding something Gee.” Frank said softly and I looked at him and shook my head.
”I can’t tell you. Please I can’t tell you because I’m under protection and I can’t tell anyone about my case.” I said and Frank frowned at me.
”Your under the pig protection?” Frank asked.
”Your going to have to translate because I have no idea what you mean.” I said.
”Pig means police Gee, everyone knows that. You’re under the police protection?” Frank asked and I looked down and nodded.
”Is it something to do with the bastard who did those to you?” Frank asked and pointed to my chest which made me look at my chest and I felt tears in my eyes and the more I looked at my chest the tears rolled down my face.
”Yes, it’s something to do with the bastard who did this.” I said quietly and sniffed.
”What have I told you about crying? I’m shit at comforting people.” Frank said and I couldn’t help but chuckle at it.
“You don’t do so bad.” I sniffed and Frank smiled.
”Okay, so tell me who beat you up. It’s been a while since I’ve been in a fight with someone, kinda letting the team down a bit.” Frank said and I looked at him.
”It was the dude who showed me round the other day. Well his mates anyway, they said that I shouldn’t of turned him down on being his friend. I said I make my own friends and I don’t need people choosing my friends and that’s when this happened.” I said and pointed to my face.
”The fucker.” Frank said and he looked at me.
”Still they can’t make me anymore ugly, since I’m covered in scars.” I said quietly.
”Your not ugly, even with the scars. I find you rather handsome and cute.” Frank said and I looked down and felt my face heat up.
”And your blush is even more adorable.” Frank said and I blushed even harder and Frank chuckled.
”I’m not exactly looking for a relationship. The last one has sort of put me off being with someone.” I said quietly and looked at Frank who smiled softly at me.
”I understand.” Frank said and I looked down.
”I have to go back to the other side of the country in a few days to see what sentence the bastard gets for doing this to me.” I said quietly.
”Will you be coming back?” Frank asked.
”Yeah, I don’t want to be in the same town or state as that bastard. I have nothing at my old home anymore.” I whispered and Frank pulled me into his side.
“Want to go and see the horses?” Frank asked and I looked at him.
”You have horses?” I asked.
”Kinda wouldn’t be a Gypsy if we didn’t have horses.” Frank said and I couldn’t help but smile.
”I like the sound of that.” I said quietly.
”Well we need to get dressed. You can borrow some of my clothes.” Frank said and I nodded and we went and got dressed.

We was sat in the middle of the field with the horses slowly moving over to us.
”Tell me about your brothers and your sister.” I said and Frank chuckled and passed me the joint which I took and started to smoke it.
”My older brother is called Jamie and he’s 20. There’s my brother and sister who are twins and their called Freddie and Esmeralda but everyone calls her Esme, their both 16. Then there’s Noah who is a bastard and he’s 7, he was the bugger you saw me with the other day and then there’s Victor, he’s 5 and to be honest the cutest kid I’ve every seen.” Frank said and I nodded.
”The age gap in your family are huge.” I said and Frank chuckled.
“Mam was 15 when she had Jamie and she was 17 when she had me. I take my hat off to her and pa really since they was childhood sweethearts.” Frank said and I smiled.
”What about your brother?” Frank asked.
”Mikey is my younger brother and he is 16. He doesn’t look anything like me. He’s actually taller than me and he wears glasses and he has blondeish hair. I don’t know as I haven’t seen him for 5 months.” I said quietly as I looked down.
”Are you going visit him when you go over to the other side?” Frank asked and I shook my head.
”He wants nothing to do with me, I’m not going to push him into having that brother relationship if he doesn’t want it. It’s not fair on him or me.” I said quietly.
”Who wouldn’t want anything to do with you, your adorable.” Frank said and I looked at him.
”I’m really not.” I said and rolled his eyes at me.
”Fine, you are a good a good person to cuddle up to because your really warm.” Frank said and I chuckled quietly.
“Makes a change, normally I’m really cold. My ex would push me away and tell me too fuck off and not to go near him.” I said quietly.
”Well if your cold can always cuddle up to me, I have enough heat for the pair of us.” Frank said and I smiled at him which he returned.
“Let’s go back. Do you want to go home or come back to mine?” Frank said and I shrugged my shoulders.
”You know I would like to meet your mam.” Frank said.
”Not yet. If you’re going to meet my mother then I think I need to get you more gorger friendly before you meet her.” I said and Frank looked at me.
”You know the word.” Frank said and I nodded which made Frank smile.
”Lets go back to mine.” Frank said and I shook my head.
”I’m happy here.” I said but the breeze which was blowing was a bit nippy and I shivered and Frank chuckled and me stood up and helped me up.
”Your freezing so we’re going back to mine and we can watch something on the laptop, only if you want.” Frank said and I smiled and nodded.
”I would like that.” I said quietly.
”Let’s go then.“ Frank said and we walked back to his.

”Mum wants me home tonight, she said there was some news she wanted to tell me but can’t tell me over the phone.” I said as I got comfy leaning against Frank, who had his arm over my shoulder.
”What do you think it’s about?” Frank asked.
”Dunno, it’s either something to do with dad or Mikes. Then it could be something to do with the bastard. Probably hung himself in his cell, wouldn’t be surprised he’s a coward like that. What the fuck did I see in him.” I said and Frank chuckled slightly.
“Hopefully it’s none of that. But you must of seen something in him to be with him for how long?” Frank said and I sighed.
”I was with him for 2 glorious years. A wasteful 2 years of nothing but abuse.” I said quietly and frank squeezed my shoulder.
”At least he’s getting justice for what he did to you.” Frank said.
”That’s if he doesn’t kill himself or the others don’t get to him first.” I said and picked at the covers.
”Well at least if any of that happens he won’t be able to do it to anymore people.” Frank said and I looked at my chest since I took my top off as it decided to rain on the way back to Frank’s.
”I was the first one he did this too, he was called me the starting point before he moved on.” I said.
“He sounds like a fucking psychopath. If not that then a fucking nut case who needs to be locked away. Or a fucking good beating on which I would be more than happy to do because nobody should never lay a hand on you.” Frank said and I looked at him.
“You feel like you should protect me?” I asked.
”Yeah, in a way.” Frank said and I couldn’t help but smile as I got comfy again and watched the film.

”He fell asleep on me again, he also mentioned that you wanted him home so I took it upon myself to bring him home for you, so you don’t worry.” I heard Frank say.
”You’re Frank? The boy who answered Gees phone last night?” I heard mum ask.
”Yeah I’m frank.” Frank chuckled.
”Do you want to stay the night? I know Gee sort of panics when he falls asleep on someone and their not their when he wakes up.” Mum said.
”I don’t want to be invasive on yours and Gerard’s home.” Frank said.
”Domt be silly, I’m sure Gee trusts you. It’s been a while since he’s been able to be a normal person.” Mum said and I felt her touch my hair which made me move in franks arms.
”Don’t move Gee, I nearly dropped you.” I heard Frank say.
”Go upstairs, you can spend the night. That’s if your parents don’t mind.” Mum said.
”My parents say I’m old enough to make my own choices.” Frank said.
”His room is upstairs and on the left. I don’t know if the room is clean or not.” Mum said.
”I’m sure it’ll be fine.” Frank said and I felt him move up the stairs.

”Gee, we’re in your room. You gonna wake up for me?” Frank said as he placed me on the bed and sat on the bed.
I opened my eyes and looked at him but they weren’t going to stay open for long.
”I like your house by the way. Can definitely steal a few things from here.” I said and he looked at me a chuckled as I slapped his leg.
”Don’t say that.” I said quietly as I stood up and pulled my top and jeans off and looked for my joggers I wore to bed.
”You can also stop eyeballing me as well.” I said and Frank chuckled as he made himself comfortable on my bed.
”Beauty is meant to be looked at for a reason.” Frank said and I looked down.
”There’s nothing beautiful about me. Here’s some shorts for you to change into and the bathroom is the first door on your right.” I said and I climbed into bed as Frank climbed over me.
”You need to stop saying your not beautiful because you are. People just need to see beyond your scars and past.” Frank said and I moved over and rolled over to face Frank.
“You wouldn’t understand.” I whispered as I moved closer to Frank so I could steal his body heat.
”Maybe I don’t understand, but I can always try.” Frank said quietly as he rolled onto his back so I could cuddle more into his side.
”Not right now though, too tired to think and the remote is here.” I said as I patted round my bed and when I found the remote and put it on his chest.
”Don’t steal nothing and night.” I mumbled as I lost my fight to sleep for the second night running.
Before I fell into a deep sleep I heard Frank chuckle.
”Night Gee.” Frank said quietly and I couldn’t hear nothing after that.
