Three months flew by too quickly as if the boys blinked and that was it. They were on the way to England. However, Gerard had broken his promise to his brother, his brother's fiancé and the love of his life. Millions of CDs were sold, they were huge on the radio and they had sold out of merchandise within three months. It was finally Friday night on the tour bus, the boys were driving through LA to get to the airport for their concert in England. Frank, Ray and Mikey were all talking about the show when Gerard came out of the bathroom burping and suffering with hiccups "do you know what I could use right now?" He slurred his words.
"Let me deal with this you boys" explained Frank. He stood up and pondered over to the lead vocalist.
"Well, hello sexy whore" the lead singer checked out the guitarist, circling him. As Frank slapped his best friend, biggest crush and his favourite pair of lips of ten years, Mikey and Ray stood up. "The fuck was that for, slut!?" He slapped him again.
"DON'T SEXUALISE ME LIKE I'M ONE SORT OF GROUPIES! I AM NOT! I'M A MEMBER OF YOUR BAND!" He screamed and walked to his bunk bed.
"Gerard, once we come back from England, I'm calling the AA for you, you're drinking again, you said you'd stop but clearly you haven't" cried his brother. Ray and Mikey both left the drunk red head on the sofa. *knock knock* Frank opened his curtain to see Mikey and Ray.
"I can't believe he'd do this to me, I love him but he sees me as a groupie"
"I'm sorry Frankie" the boys sat down and hugged the crying member.
"Gee's my best friend, but since he kissed me last night, I felt something in me stir I'll never understand what it was, it was nothing like the kisses he had given me in the past" the clock ticked. As everyone was asleep Frank was still up with his thoughts watching the hands go by every five minutes.

He got up and went to sit in the main cabin of the bus until he laid eyes on Gerard... Writing. "Gee?" He looked at the shaking guitarist then shot his head back down. He slowly walked over to the singer. "What happened?"
"None of your business, Frank"
"Please tell me, I want to help you" he whispered.
The leader put his pen down and stared at Frank as if he was going to break his neck. "You really want to know?" The guitarist nodded his head "fine" Gerard stood up and lent over Frank as the smaller male backed up as much as he could until he was forced down by the sofa hitting his legs. Soon enough the taller male was leaning over him like he was some sort of prized possession "You! You're what happened! You joined my band! You got back with a boy who didn't give a shit about you! You could have had everything you wanted and needed and you went for him! You could have had someone who really cared about you, someone who saw you as a person and NOT a fucking sex you he wanted when he was bored, someone who was willing to give up everything just for you, but you chose to get back with a blackmailing, manipulative, abusive, cheating, lying, rapist piece of shit. You know what Frank, I don't want to see your face!" Gerard pushed himself back away from Frank. "And I wish I had never loved you, let alone share a bed and the kisses I had given you"
Frank stood up shaking like a house in an earthquake, he uneasily paced away forcing the tears away, stopping in his tracks, he turned to see Gerard walk behind the bar and got a bottle of Jack Daniels and a bottle of Vodka. I'm sorry Gee, I've already told you why I did it, I never wanted to, but protecting you is my only goal. he thought to himself. He walked back to his cabin and tried to sleep but all he could think about was Gerard. The moments in high school, the moments they kissed and the time they shared a bed for the very first time. Twenty minutes went by so slow Frank had his curtain closed but could hear Gerard stumbling into the bunker. It had hit 1:30am when Gerard finally fell asleep. Frank quietly got out of bed making sure he didn't wake anyone up he walked over to the driver's seat "Josh get some sleep, I can take over" the driver pulled over and walked over to the sofa where Frank had laid out the bed for him. Frank sat behind the wheel and started driving. 3:34am hit and the sun started rising. The airport was near. Josh woke up and took back over.
"Message me when you get there okay? Aaron already has a bus waiting for you all" they all said goodbye to Josh and walked into the airport.
The boys didn't know Frank didn't book a first class plane ticket. So when they all boarded the plane Frank went to coach and the others went to first class. Gerard looked around "Mike, where's Frank?" All the boys looked around and Gerard called for a flight attendant.
"Yes sir, how can I help you?" She asked him.
"There's supposed to be four of us, but I think we lost one" Gerard explained.
"If you give me his name I'll go check coach" he gave her Frank's name "thank you sir" she walked into coach and went on the speaker "I'm looking for Frank Iero?" Frank stood up and walked over to the flight attendant. "Can I see your ticket please?" Frank gave her the ticket "thank you sir" she walk back into VIP and told Gerard what had happened.
The singer walked into coach and made an announcement "hi, I'm Gerard, before you teenage girls start fan-girling and you boys start fan-boying, I'm in a relationship, so Frankie can you please come with me?" Frank stood up and the attendant grabbed his baggage. They all walked into VIP. Gerard looked at Frank "what the fuck Frank? Why didn't you want to sit with us?"
"You think I wanted to sit with an alcoholic asshole like you!? Do you not remember what you said on the tour bus? Do I have to remind you?" Ray and Mikey looked at Frank and Gerard "I do believe your words were 'I don't want to see your face' so I refunded my first class for a coach" Ray and Mikey sat there stunned to see the two closest members arguing.
"I was drunk Frank! For fucks sake!" Gerard hissed.
"You know why I call alcohol 'Party Poison' Gerard! It turns you into a massive dick! I'm glad I never ended up with you, asshole! I wish I never kissed you and let's be honest, you're always fucking drunk" Frank cried out. For the rest of the flight neither of them said a word. Frank was with his thoughts If you didn't go down hill we could've been perfect together, I've been waiting for high school to be with you. After Andrew and Tate raped and cheated on me. You and I knew I wanted to be with you... Gerard I love you more than you know but it's not fair on me. I know you don't love me the way I love you. I'm still clean for you! So how could you relapse? Why would you do that to yourself? It's not fair on me! It's not fair on Mikey, it's not fair on Ray, it's not fair on Bitty B... You were my best friend. My biggest supporter, when I had food thrown at me, my clothes taken, rumours spread you were there, what happened to that Gerard? I got back with him to protect you... I couldn't watch you be put in hospital or killed... I miss you... I miss your lips, I miss you playing with my hair, I can't stop loving or missing you... I can't do this without you... Come back to me Gerard Arthur Way. We need you... I need you... I miss you Gee... I miss the Bandit's dad, I miss Mikey's brother... I miss the man who would kiss me everyday for no reason...you just did... I miss you... the sober you.
"Frank, want to go sight seeing when we land?" Ray asked him.
"Wait really?" He asked with a slight bit enjoyment.
"I mean yeah, why not, it would be nice to to go on a little trip round, it would be pretty cool for us three to do something when we get there" Mikey said. The trio were talking and laughing. While Gerard was drinking. Ray's and Mikey's presence became a blur, Frank couldn't take his eyes off Gerard. "Frankie, Frankie" Mikey called out.
"Huh?" Frank said looking back at the boys "Oh sorry, I was distracted" he looked down at his hands linked together.
Mikey stood up and walked over to Frank and sat next to him "we know you miss him, we do too, bud don't worry, he'll get better soon, I can't promise anything but we know that he will get better, he always does" Mikey smiled reassuring Frank.
"Thank you Mikey, I don't know what I would do without you two" the three of them looked over at Gerard who had fallen asleep "I'm off to get him comfy" Frank said, he stood up, walked over to the sleeping leader and changed the seat into a bed making sure Gerard was resting comfortably. "Sleep well" he said kissing Gerard on the forehead before walking back over to Ray and Mikey, soon the engaged couple had joined Gerard for a nap. While Frank was, once more, up with his thoughts I love you Gee, I can't lose you, come back.
