Chapter 24: They Took Him

CHAPTER 24:

-----Gerard's POV---- 

I told Frank everything. I told him about the terrors, the fact that not even my parents knew, everything. I held nothing back. At times it hurt, and at the end, we cried. But this time it was different from when I had told Mikey about it. Mikey was crying for me, because he thought I was in pain, which I was, but Frank did something different. 

Frank cried WITH me. He felt the pain I let seep through my skin and he absorbed it. I didn't want to make him hurt, but I was elated that someone finally understood. I was tired of being the only one who knew what it felt like to have every security you've ever had swiped form you in a matter of hours. 

We cried for hours upon hours. He held me, and I held him. It was like we were one person. It was all I ever wanted in love. I really was in love. I really was in love with a man. 

We finally cried ourselves out at 7 in the morning. I hadn't slept in 3 days, and I felt like death. 

I yawned loudly, and Frank's chest, which I was laying my head on, bobbed up and down as he laughed. He sat up and looked at me gingerly. I could see love swimming in his thick eyes, even if he wouldn't admit it. 

"Go to bed, Gee," he said softly, cupping my cheek in his hand. 

I yawned involuntarily again and slowly rose from the place on the living room floor where we had laid for the past 3 hours. He followed me to the bedroom and tucked me in, but didn't get into the bed himself. 

"I have work to do, Gee-Bear. I'll see you when you wake up." He smiled his beautiful smile and kissed my forehead. He then started for the door, but stopped abruptly. He lunged back towards the bed and hugged me tightly. 

"I'll never let anything bad happen to you. Never," he promised, his voice shaking and dripping with deep-seated sadness. Then he walked out the door quickly, and left me alone to sleep. 

~~~~TIME LAPSE~~~~~

After 6 hours, I woke up, rested and energized. I had slept without a hitch, no terrors or nightmares. I stretched dramatically and threw my legs over the bed. The long carpet threading in between my toes and made my feet warm. 

I wandered into the large apartment to find Frank, and after a bit of searching, I couldn't find him. He wasn't in the living room, his office, or the balcony. The last place I checked was the kitchen. Thankfully, he had left a note taped to the fridge for me. He must've gone out. 

His note read: 

Dear Gerard, 

They have taken me. They said if you ever want to see me alive again, you'll comply with their demands. I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you. And I'm sorry I never got to tell you that I truly do love you, there's no question in that. They said you'll be receiving a phone call soon, and that if you go the police or Mikey or Ray that they'll kill me. Please be safe. I'm sorry. 

Xoxoxo frnk

The note fell silently from my hands to the cold tiles. They had taken my Frankie, and they were after me next.

Sorry this chapter took so long, I've been in and out of the hospital (where they wouldn't let me have my laptop) and I was trying to think of where I wanted this to go. I have a pretty good idea now. Enjoy, my Cuties! Thanks for reading!
