It's the end... (kidnapping story)

Chapter 69

Frank's POV:
Alice and I are halfway across the forest and I hear Gerard running behind us.
His footsteps get closer and I hear the rustling of leaves. He finally catches up to us, I don't know why he ran it's not like we're moving any faster.
His voice is tired and he keeps his distance from Alice and I.
"I... I had some things to do before leaving" Gerard says in an exhausted tone.
I roll my eyes and look back at the small room.
The outlook on the house is really just a simple shack with an extra room on the side.
All the time we spent in there, it felt like we'd never get out.
Were we in there for days? Weeks? Minutes? Hours? I don't know anymore. I was starting to lose hope until Gerard saved us, granted we had to watch him deep throat a gun and kiss Mandy.
I felt sick watching, I thought that Gerard was shot and when I opened my eyes I was shocked to see Mandy's corpse on the ground with a bullet wound in the back of her head.
Gerard is more easily persuaded to gun use than I thought.
I don't even think I'd use a gun for self defense... Or would I?
I look at Alice who is silently walking alongside me.
I don't know why but I feel like I have something to prove to her.
Without a second thought I walk in front of her and stop her in her tracks.
Be spontaneous Frank.
Alice is looking down until she sees me in front of her.
She looks up, into my eyes.
I grab her waist and kiss her passionately.
For only a second she tries to push me away and then she melts into my kiss, moving her tongue in sync with mine.
She smiles as we kiss, Gerard rolls his eyes at us as I pick her up and she wraps her legs around my waist.
"You know we have to find the road right, and all though you two are..." He dramatically rests the back of his hand on his forehead and leans his head back "head over heels for each other," he smirks and winks at Alice "there's not exactly time for that yet".
I grin at Alice and give her a quick peck.
She looks into my eyes and smiles sweetly.
I playfully bite her cheek and let her down.
Gerard is having a panic attack over the blood all over him.
"Oh no! This was my favourite pair of jeans, and it's going to take weeks!" He gasps "months even, to get this shit out of my hair!" He shouts in a frustrated tone.
Alice covers her mouth, holding in a laugh, she looks adorable right now.
I gently grab her hand as we walk. She gives me a surprised look and squeezes my hand as I smile at her. She leans her head on my shoulder.
Gerard seems to be walking further away from us and suddenly starts running.
Alice and I exchange looks of confusion as we watch him raise his arm to his head and run through the branches, shielding his eyes.
Alice nudges me and we start running after him.
I watch Gerard running towards a large body of water, he jumps in and shakes his hair all over the place.
I run to the edge of the landscape and Alice gasps at the large river.
Gerard dives under the water, cleaning his hair.
He surfaces and runs his hand through his hair, shaking his now green coloured fringe.
I cover my mouth and start giggling, holding my stomach I suddenly erupt into laughter.
"What is it Frank?" Alice asks me, she looks at Gerard's now dark green hair and rolls onto the ground laughing.
"Ha ha, very fucking funny!" He sarcastically shouts.
Yes... It really is Gerard! I continue laughing and start kicking the air in a childish manner.
I stop laughing when I see something move in the murky water.
"Uhh, Gerard" I try to warn him.
He continues washing his hair.
"What?" He groans.
"You know what lives in rivers sometimes right?" I hint.
Gerard rolls his eyes and looks around.
"Nothing apparently" he replies as he starts washing the blood off his arms.
"Well I'll give you a clue Gee, it rhymes with... Chocodile" I hint again.
Why won't you get the clue Gerard.
"Hmm... Could it be denial or hostile?" He replies with a mocking tone.
"Yeah, it's fairly fucking hostile Gerard! I'd get out of the fucking river" I shout back at him "and how exactly can denial be in the water?" I ask him.
Gerard shrugs and puts his leg up, washing off more blood.
The thing moves in the water again.
"I thought you couldn't swim" Alice says.
I chuckle.
Gerard looks up looking annoyed.
"You mean in I'm not okay?" He asks her.
She nods and he smiles.
He looks at the water again, which is now turning red.
"Oh hey, I worked it out Frankie" he tells me as he swims away from the moving object
"You meant crocod-" before he can finish the word he's dragged into the water.
I scream out to him, leaning over the river bank.
Alice screams and hugs me, I kiss her hair and rub her back.
"It's okay, it's okay Alice" I whisper into her ear as I rock her in my lap. She gets off my lap and we both jump when Gerard breaks the waters surface, splashing out of the river.
He starts laughing and pointing at us.
"Gerard!" Alice shouts "you jerk!".
Gerard apologizes and starts cleaning his face and chest.
I smirk at him.
"Well played" I compliment him "but you know what else lives in rivers like this one?" I hint as Gerard gives me a concerned look.
"What?" He asks me with a concerned expression.
I laugh and tap Alice who smiles at me and then at Gerard.
I lean over the river bank.
"Leaches" I state with a smile.
Gerard lets out a girly scream and rushes out of the river.
He rolls on the ground and shakes off any residence of the river.
I laugh and Alice holds my hand as we watch him rolling around, he jumps up and starts running in the opposite direction, he slips on the mud and gets it all over his jeans and combat boots.
I burst into laughter and Alice giggles.
"I know, I know... Karma's a bitch" he smirks and offers his hand "I guess I deserved that" he continues as I pull him up.
"Ha! You guess?" I reply still laughing at him.
"God! Whatever I'm a dick! There I said it" he rushes as we start walking back through the forest, looking for a road.

Alice's POV:
I'm so angry at Gerard for doing what he did. What a dickhead.
Frank leans on my shoulder as we walk.
We're roughly the same height, he's just a little bit taller than I am.
He smiles at me and swings his arm around my shoulder, resting his nose on my cheek.
"Can I ask you something Alice?" He asks in a gentle tone, his warm lips moving on my cheek as he speaks.
I look over at Gerard who's walking pretty far from us, shaking his boots with every step he takes.
"Sure" I answer.
Frank sighs and takes his face away from mine.
"Why... Why did you ask if I heard anything? In the meat locker?" He asks, looking away from me.
"What do you mean?" I reply, widening my eyes and trying to avoid the question.
Frank looks down.
"Nevermind, it doesn't matter" he replies. I kiss his cheek and his smile returns.
He looks at my lips and kisses me again.
I think he's afraid of losing me...
"Frank... I need to tell you something" I start.
"Don't bother" he interrupts "I heard everything, all of it, even the stuff about me" he giggles slightly and looks down again.
I blush and let go of his hand.
"What are you talking about?" I lie.
"I'm not stupid Alice" he looks at me, then the ground and back up at me "I'm not that stupid" he repeats emphasizing 'that'.
I laugh along with him.
"I'm sorry Frank... You know that I lied to you... don't you?" I ask him.
He nods and gives me a dissapointed look.
"I really hoped that you would love me enough to tell me the truth, or not...cheat on me in the first place" he trails off and his eyes water.
I feel him starting to turn away from me, I tap his shoulder.
He shrugs it off.
"Don't touch me" he bitterly warns.
I decide to do what he says and I take my hand off of his shoulder.
"Who is it?" He suddenley blurts.
I look away and feel tears in my eyes.
"Me or him?" He continues "tell me the truth!" He shouts.
"You!" I shout under the pressure.
I cry and Frank gives me a shocked look.
"Stop crying Alice" he says, moving my hair out of my face.
I stop crying and look into his eyes.
His hazel eyes reflect my face, I can't see myself, I don't want to see myself like this.
I look away from him.
He stares at his feet and calls out to Gerard.
In a desperate attempt to clean it, Gerard unzips his long combat boot and starts hopping along, his grey sock is almost soaking wet and he stops to tip all of the murky water out of his boot.
He watches the water pour out with an amusing expression of disgust.
When all of the water is out of his boot he smiles and puts the boot back on his foot.
He shivers slightly in an adorable way as he zips the zipper back up.
"Do you think that could have been a radio active river?" Gerard asks Frank as he walks over.
Frank grins at him and hugs him.
"I love you Gerard" he says.
Gerard smiles with suspicion.
"I love you too Frank, what's gotten into you" he says struggling to walk as Frank climbs onto his back.
"I just realized you're my best friend" he says, hugging Gerard's chest.
I smile at Gerard who seems very confused.
"I kinda know that" Gerard replies.
Frank kisses Gerard's cheek and Gerard screws up his face in adorable way.
Frank giggles childishly.
"I'm tired" he says resting his chin on Gerard's shoulder.
Gerard rolls his eyes and licks his teeth.
"Fine" he replies with a smirk as he continues walking with Frank on his back.
I walk beside them and we see a large clearing, I think we're really close to the road.
