Sanity (Frerard)

No Sound But The Wind

Used a piano version since the actual song won't play on wattpad.

I heard frank
Negotiating
With a doctor,

"He really wants to leave," my Frank said, "do you think he's well enough to be discharged?"

"Does he have a therapist to visit about this?" the foreign voice asked.

"Yeah, he's going to see him tommorow."

"Then I think he's ready, but for the time being, don't keep him near sharp objects."

I sat up when frank came back,
"I'm leaving?" I ask.

"Yeah."

And within an hour
Of sorting things out,

I was in the car.
"...Are you hungry?" Frankie asked.

I nodded, "Yeah."

He stopped by a fast food place.
Great.
Junk food.
Garbage.
Shit.

But I was ravenous.
My stomach was growling.
Frank even giggled because he heard it.

"What do you want?"

"Chicken nuggets."

He ordered the food.
He knew that I would want to drink
Water.

He obviously ordered a salad.
It's really all he can eat at a place like this.

When he handed me
My bag,
I dove into it.

I tried to eat my chicken slowly,
I wanted to savor the flavor,
But I was eating for survival,

Or at least it felt like it.

I loved passing by the varying lights
While we drove.

"It's pretty driving at night."
I told him.
"...it feels homey."

"There is something sweet about it."

"Sweet? Frank it feels surreal for some reason. I can't explain it but it just does."

"Maybe it's the lights."

Maybe it is.
I liked how the stood out
From the darkness.

I leaned over to the radio,
"Is it okay if I play music?"

"I want something soft," he told me, I could see how he was fantasizing,
It was in his eyes.
Everything he feels, you can see in his eyes.
"I want it really soft."

I kept flipping stations,
Till I found a really pretty song.

I wasn't able to make it in time
For the beginning
But
The chorus was playing.

"...Our blood is cold, and we're alone,
But I'm alone with you."

It was a beautiful song, but had this sadness to it.
But that's what gave it its beauty.
I wanted to say something to Frank
But that would disrupt everything.

It seemed appropriate to just listen
Though.

So I just stared at the moon.
Someone out there
With the same problems as me
Had to be staring at it too.

"...If I say shut your eyes,
If I say look away."

Someone had to be.

"Bury your face in my shoulder,
Think of a birthday."

I realized we weren't even headed home.
I didn't know where we were.

But Frank went off the road, and pulled up into this dark remote area.
The moon was our only source of light now.

"...The things you put in your head,
They will stay there forever."

I had to ask
"Frank, why are we here-"
He interrupted me with a kiss.

"Our blood is cold,
And we're alone, love.
But I'm alone with you."

I held onto him, and kissed back.

"Help me to carry the fire.
We will keep a light together."

The moon watched over
Us.
And protected us.
I knew
Because it was like an angel.
It was bright and shined white,
And soared over earth.

"Your tongue tastes like chicken nuggets too, yuck."
Still, Frank smiled so brightly,
"but for you, I will give an exception."

I laughed out, "you're very romantic."

And he hugged me tighter.

The music kept playing,
"Help me to carry the fire,
We will keep a light forever."

I gripped harder unto Frank's leather jacket and let him lean into me.

I put a leg around him
To support myself.

"...Help me to carry the fire..."

And it was just us,
Making out,
Loving each other so much that
We didn't even have to tell each other.
The both of us knew.

"...We will keep a light, together..."

My hands messed up his hair.
And I kissed his tattoos,
Like I always do.
I never forget them.

"...Help me... to carry the fire..."

As his lips kept pushing against mine,
I could catch a soft glimpse
Of the moon.
And at that moment,
I swear,
It looked at me back.

"...We will keep a light forever."

I swear this is one of my favorite chapters.

But the song is a real song, and it's called No Sound But the Wind by The Editors.
