Frank's P.O.V

I check my phone for missed calls or texts, one arm still around Gerard's waist as my head rested on his shoulder. I fucking love this guy so much.
I sighed as I noticed a text. Anonymous. I frowned as I opened it.
From: Anonymous:
The cops can't help you.
I froze.
"What's up, baby?" Gerard asked.
I showed him the text.
"HAYLEY." He shouted.
A few seconds later, she appeared in the kitchen. "What's wrong?" She asked.
Gerard looked scared as he spoke. "Their watching us right now." He said, shaking as he pointed to my phone.
I wrapped my arms around him as Hayley took the phone.
"Their gonna hurt Frank." He sobbed. "Their gonna kill him."
I pulled his head to rest on my chest as I rubbed his back. "I'll be okay, baby." I cooed. "I'm not going anywhere."
"I won't let that happen, Gerard." Hayley said. "I promise you."
Gerard pulled away from me and stood up, glaring at her. "How can you promise that?" He snapped just as Mikey, Ray and Bob walked in behind her. "They have his number now as well. They could be anywhere. It could be anyone. I can't fucking do this anymore. I can't lose him again. I can't...." He started breathing funny.
I shot to my feet and pulled him into my arm's.
Mikey rushed forward and cupped his face in his hands. "No one's going to hurt Frank, Gee." He said, softly. "We won't let anyone hurt him. We're gonna look after you both. Me, Ray and Bob. That's a promise. I never break my promises to you, do i?"
Gerard shook his head as his breathing started to get back to normal. He turned to me and put his head on my shoulder as Mikey let him go.
"I don't want to lose you again." I said as he put his arms around my waist. "Why can't we just be happy? I just want to be with you. Is that too much to ask?"
I kissed his forehead. " No, baby." I said. " It isn't."
"We'll find them, bruv." Mikey added. "And when we do, I'll fucking kill them for fucking with my big brother."
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that." Hayley sighed.
"I'll pretend I didn't hear my son cursing." Don laughed as he headed towards Gerard. "I'm here for you both." He pulled us into a three way hug. "Between me, blondie, princess fro and Mikey, you'll both be okay. I won't let anyone hurt my boys."
I smiled. " Do I class as one of your boy's?" I asked.
Don pulled back and laughed. "Of course you do." He answered. "Your marrying my son, aren't you? Unless you've changed you mind."
I shook my head. "No way." I laughed. "I love Gerard with all my heart. No way am I backing out."
Don grinned. "I'm glad." He ruffled my hair.

Gerard's P.O.V

I kept my head on Frank's chest as he talked with Dad. I'd zoned out ages ago. I couldn't get the thought out of my head. Will they be able to get to Frank? Or will the stress get to him and he leaves me? Who would do this to us? Why are they doing this? I did think it was a jealous fan at first. But now I know it can't be. Who knows my address and Frank's phone number? Besides the guy's, Brian and our parents? I feel so drained. I can't think straight. I need to lay down.

Frank's P.O.V

Gerard was frowning when I looked down at him. Then he pulled away from me and headed for the door.
"Gerard?" I called, frowning. He didn't respond. He just ignored all of us. I followed him. He kept his head down, a frown on his face, and headed upstairs. I followed him up. He went into our bedroom, leaving the door open. I stopped in the doorway.
"You okay, baby?" I asked.
Again he didn't respond. He just stripped to his boxers and climbed under the covers. The frown was still there as he laid down, staring at the ceiling.
I stepped into the room and closed the door.
"Your scaring me, baby." I said as I climbed onto the bed beside him. "Gerard, baby?" I said as I touched his shoulder.
He jumped as he turned his face to look at me. 'W...what?" He said, the frown gone. "Did y...you say something?"
I sighed with relief. "You zoned out, baby." I explained. "I called you a few times, but you didn't respond."
He smiled, sadly. "I'm sorry, honey." He said, quietly. "I was just trying to figure all this out. I have a headache and I feel like shit."
I frowned as I stroked his cheek. "Want me to get you anything?" I asked.
" No." He turned his head, briefly to kiss my palm. "But I would like you to join me. I always feel better when your holding me."
I smiled as I kissed his forehead. " Of course I'll join you, baby."
I stripped to my boxers and climbed in beside him, pulling him into my arms.
"I love you, Frankie." He said, Then yawned.
"I love you too, Geebear." I said, kissing him on the top of his head.
It didn't take long for us to drift off to sleep.

I woke up to Gerard sprinting out of the bed. He rushed into the bathroom. I rushed after him as I heard him throwing up. He was knelt on the floor with his head practically in the toilet. I rushed forward and held his hair back.
"Oh, baby." I cooed as I rubbed his back. "I'm here."
After he'd finished, he brushed his teeth. Then we cuddled back up in the bed.
"I hate being sick." He moaned.
"Me too, baby." I said, rubbing his back again.
"I don't even know why I'm sick."
I sighed. "Worry?" I offered. "Your body's just reacting to the shit that's happening."
"Hmm." He hummed. "I'm still tired."
"Go to sleep, honey. I'll still be here when you wake up."
He looked up at me from his position on my chest. "Promise?"
I smiled at him. "I promise, baby." I said as I stroked his hair. "I'm never gonna leave you. Ever."
He smiled, then put his head back down. It wasn't long before I heard quiet snores. But I couldn't sleep. All I could think about was Gerard and how I can keep him safe.
