Obsession

4. For His Safety

We both fall asleep about halfway through the movie and I wake up to the smell of cigarette smoke. Assuming it's Andy, I dont think much of it. That is, until I feel his arms still around my waist. I grab my phone off the table to check the time, 1:00 AM. Frank should be asleep... I stand and walk towards the balcony.

Once I make it to the screen door, I see a familiar mess of red-orange hair. My breathing hitches lightly as I approach the door and he turns around, my eyes widen and he smirks. "Well hello," he says a little to cheerfully "wh-why are you in my apartment?" I ask, backing away from him a bit, "care to tell me who the idiot cuddling you on the couch was Sugar?" He asks, tossing my question to the side.

"A-Andy..?" I say quietly, it comes out sounding more like a question then a statement. He tilts his head, before taking one last drag on his cigarette and tossing it over the railing. He starts stepping closer to me, continuing to do so until I feel my back hit the wall. "And who is he to you?" He asks, resting his hands on either side of my body so I can't move. "He-He's my f-friend..." I trail off, looking at the floor. He leans forward so I can feel his breath on my ear, "friends dont make out on the couch Princess," I feel my face heat up. He moves away a little and lifts my chin up, "dont let me catch him with you again Y/N. He may end up in some kind of..." he pauses for a moment, trailing off as if lost in thought, "accident." He finishes and my eyes widen, I get a sudden burst of confidence and step closer to him, glaring straight into his eyes.

"You wouldn't dare touch him." I whisper yell, as not to wake my sleeping roommate or boyfriend on the couch. He smirks and leans toward me so our faces are only centimeters apart "but Y/N, I would... especially if he's keeping me from what I want. I told you Sugar I always get what I want..." he trails off; before pressing his lips to my cheek, in a gentle way that would've made me swoon had he not just threatened the life of my bestfriend, now boyfriend.

"I expect him to be gone by tonight Y/N." He states and I look at the floor "No." He backs me up so I'm pinned to the wall again "wanna repeat that, I'm not sure I heard ya properly," he growls through gritted teeth. "I said no." I hiss back and he smirks, "do as you wish-" he's cut off by Andy who had just woken up, "Y/N who's that?" He asks, I look over at him, smiling gently to reassure him "no one..."

I turn back to Gerard "Get out of my apartment, my roommate trained me in self defense and I will knock you out." I state, that stupid smirk makes it's way back onto his face, "Frank? Who do you think taught him all he knows Y/N?" Leaving me no time to answer, he presses his lips to my cheek, to which I flinch away. He chuckles, "by tonight Sugar," he states in a sing-song voice as he waltzes straight out the front door.

Frank? So this is the same guy... but Frank always talks about how he's such a nice guy? Maybe he's being deceived too? I shake off my thoughts and walk back over to the couch where Andy sits, "what does he mean 'by tonight'? And why'd he call you 'sugar'?" He asks, voice tinged with a bit of hurt. I look at the floor "you need to leave Andy..." "What? No! You're not thinking straight, we'll talk about this in the morning, let's go back back to sleep..." he says gently and I look up to him "it's not safe for you to be around me..." I trail off.

"Why, cause of him? I could kick his ass, please Y/N, don't send me away..." he begs, tears start to form in my eyes "Andy it's for your safety, please..." he clenches his jaw and his icy blue eyes meet mine, "fine. If you want me gone so bad, I'll go." He gets up, grabbing his jacket and phone of the table. I get up and try to wrap my arms around him for a goodbye hug but he shakes me off, "Don't Y/N... just don't." He turns back to look at me "I don't need someone to play with my heart, dont bother contacting me... you clearly dont want me, especially when you'll pull an elaborate stunt like this." He pulls his jacket over his shoulders and walks out.

My legs basically turn into jello and I drop to the floor, curling up so I can wrap my arms around my legs and rest my head on my knees. Everything was starting to get better... now this..? I guess you get what you want Gerard, Andy's gone and my lifes a living hell once again. Hell, I can't even trust my own roommate anymore...

"Y/N... are you okay?" I hear Frank's voice on the other end of the room, I look up at him "No, Frank I'm not okay!" I cry out as tears continue to cascade down my cheeks, "I just lost the only guy I've ever had a genuine interest in, because YOUR friend GERARD is a fucking asshole who can't no for a goddamn answer." I state and he steps over to me, sitting next to me and resting his hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry, Y/N... I tried to turn his focus to someone else, I really did. I know how you feel about Andy and I tried to tell him, but he's stubborn..." I look up at him, my tears now slowed down and move my knees from my body and wrap my arms around his torso, pulling him into a hug. "Thanks for trying Frank..."

Looks like I'll have to give the psycho what he wants...
