After The Break Up

Chapter 30

Gerard's P.O.V

​

​Anger washed over Mikey's face as I told him what Frank said. Ryan's face turned angry too. But it was Mikey who I was most worried about. I knew he was going to do something. He always did when someone upset me.

​"You accused Gerard of fucking the hired help?" Mikey snapped as he stared at Frank. "How fucking dare you. No fucker talks to Gerard like that." Then he punched Frank in the jaw.

​I froze. Staring at the floor about a metre infront of me.

​

​Frank's P.O.V

​

​I knew it was coming. But I kept my eyes on Gerard. As I cradled my left jaw in my hand, I noticed something was wrong. I walked past Mikey towards him, worried. "Gerard?" I said.

​"Get the fuck away from him." Mikey snapped,  grabbing my arm.

​I pulled my arm loose, not taking my eyes off Gerard. "Somethings wrong with Gerard." I told him.

​"Yeah, you."

​"Look at him, Mikey." I snapped. "Gerard, honey. What's wrong?"

​Mikey's attention moved to Gerard. Anger turning to concern. "Gerard?"

​I put my hand on Gerard's shoulder and lifted his head to look in his face. His face was blank. No emotions whatsoever. "Come on, baby. Talk to me." I said, quietly. "Tell me what you see." 

​

​Gerard's P.O.V

​

​I drop to my knees. The memories come flooding back. The arguments with Frank. The accident at the signing. The....kidnapping. I remember everything. I started to shake. Frank pulled me into his arms.

​"Talk to me, baby." Frank said as he rubbed my back.

​I grabbed his t-shirt in my fists as I rested my head on his shoulder. I closed my eyes. "I remember." I told him.

​"What do you remember,  baby?" Frank asked, quietly. 

​"Everything."​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

​Mikey's P.O.V

​

​I watched as Gerard shook violently in Frank's arms. The look on Frank's face was of pure love and concern. Now I know why he got so jealous. He's insecure. He thinks Gerard is too good for him. He thinks Gerard is going to realise that and leave him. I noticed that because I've been thinking the same thing. But I'm wrong. Frank IS good enough for Gerard. All I ever wanted for my big brother was someone who loves him and cares about him. Someone who will look after him and protect him. Someone like Frank. I can see that now.

​I look at Gerard's face. His eyes are closed. Just like when I woke up in that room. When they cut me. Then I remembered Gerard's terrified look as they cut him and threatened him with the needle. I remember being scared they were going to kill him. I choked out a sob and Gerard sprung to his feet. He dragged me into his arms. I hugged back.

​"You remember too, don't you?" He said, pulling back to look at my face.

​"I was wrong,  Gerard." I told him. I looked at Frank as he stood up. "I know why you get jealous now." I told him. He looked at me. "You think he's too good for you. I thought he was too. But we're wrong. I saw how much much you love him. I know how much you care. All I wanted for Gerard is someone who loves and cares about him. Someone who will look after him and protect him." I looked back at Gerard. "That's Frank, Gerard."

​Gerard pulled away from me and looked at Frank. "Is that why you get jealous?" He asked.

​

​Gerard's P.O.V

​

​Frank looked back at me. "Your too good for me." He said, head down. "Your going to realise that then leave me."

​I shook my head. "No, Frank." I said pulling him into my arms. "I'm not too good for you." I pulled back a little to look in his eyes. "Ask me again."

​He frowned. Then smiled as he realised what I meant. He reached in his pocket and pulled out a small ring box. He took the ring out and put the box away. Then he grabbed my hand and got down on one knee.

​"Gerard Arthur Way." He started. "Will you marry me?"

​I kept a straight face. "What if someone better comes along?"

​His face dropped. "What?"

​I laughed. "I'm joking." I  said. I knelt down and kissed him,  briefly. "Yes, Frank. I will marry you."

​Frank smiled and slipped the ring on my finger. Then he pulled me in for a kiss. Lights started flashing. We all turned round to see fans taking photos. But I didn't care. I just stood up and pulled Frank up into my arms.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
