The Only Hope For Me Is You (frerard/vampire)

Chapter 3: Vodka And A Pretty Face

I try and think straight before I blurt out something ridiculous even though all the boy wants to know is my name.

"Gerard, my names..Gerard"

My eyes dance along with the flames of the small fire before I hear the person that's making me incredibly nervous speak up.

"I'm Frank.. if you were wondering..em would you like a drink?"

I look down and see a clear bottle of vodka clenched in his hands. I make my decision fast cause why the hell not?

"Sure.. thanks"

Handing me over the bottle I take a swift gulp as I feel the all too familiar burn at the back of my throat, my nose scrunching up a little as Frank watches me I see my face amused him with the small smile he gave me.

All I wanted to do was grab him and pin him to the ground right here, right now cause that smile, oh my god that fucking smile.

"I..uh..don't think I've ever seen you around..are you new here?" Frank asked me, I wasn't sure what to say cause I didn't want to lie but at the same time I couldn't exactly lay out my full life story, I mean do you want a friend Gerard? Yes. Of course I do. So don't say anything stupid, okay? Okay.

"Em..I guess you could say that.." I guess it wasn't a total lie cause I am kinda new with all that's changed and to all the people that are here, so yeah, kinda.

I look up to look at Frank and I see his eyes were already resting on me, I see the reflection of the deep orange fire dance along his face. His eyes burning a hazel from what I can make out in the dim light, I feel a blush rising in my cheeks as I notice how long we've been staring  at one another for.

I break gaze and try and move on to something else. "So Frank.. how old are you?" from his beautiful features he could probably be any age from as young as 15 to about maybe 24.

"I'm uh.. 16 but I'm gonna be 17 on my birthday which is coming up pretty soon" I think I see a small spark of excitement in his eyes, almost like a little kid on Christmas Eve.

"Oh yeah..when's your birthday?" I see him take a swig of his drink before silently offering me for some more and I gladly take them bottle from his grasp.

"It's actually..uh Halloween.. my birthday is.." I had the rim of the bottle at my lips before I tore it away and was very close to screaming before I released I was talking to an extremely hot boy that I've never met before, and that type of behaviour probably wouldn't go down so well.

"NO! WAY! YOUR BIRTHDAY IS ON HALLOWEEN! THAT IS FUCKING SO COOL!" I said screaming wouldn't go down well, I never said being extremely excited would. He turned to look at me with a surprised expression.

"You-you really think so?" the way his eyes lighten up is so adorable, I swear he doesn't know the half of what he's doing to me right now.

"Yes! That's fucking crazy cool shit"

He was just about to carry on with the conversation before he looked back and me with a raised eyebrow.

"fucking crazy cool shit?" he questions with a soft giggle, my fucking god that giggle has just made everything I was feeling inside 10 times more powerful.

A small yawn escapes Franks soft looking lips, "Are you tired? Because if you are and you want to go home I would be willing to walk you if you like?" I felt stupid even asking because I knew Frank would probably think I'm some sort of a weirdo asking to take him home.

"Yeah.. I mean if you want to?" His answer shocked me, I was expecting more of a scoff and maybe a 'you wish freak' but it was nothing of the sort.

I stood up from the small log, my knees aching at how long they had been bent for. Frank stood up beside me and we made our way out of the darkened woods.

We walked the quiet streets together, side by side.

"Oh uh.. sorry but I never asked how old you were?" he asked curiously, I feared this question greatly. I mean I have been on this earth for years now, let me think, I was born in 1894 and it's now 2015 so about 121 years roughly I think? I don't know? I wasn't really that good at math.

Wait what am I thinking I can't tell him I'm 121 years old can I? But technically I'm still only 19, I'm always going to be 19. Well that's when I was killed and was transformed into this monstrosity, I think I'll just stick with 19.

"I'm 19" I tried to say rather nonchalantly, suddenly Frank stopped outside a house and turned to look at me, I was guessing that we have arrived at Franks house.

"Em..uh that's my house..um.." he said quite shyly, I felt small alarms going off in my head and I started to panic. What if I never see him again? I can't not see him, I need to just see him one more time.

"Um.. Gerard..?" I looked down at the small boy with wide worried eyes "Are-are you okay..?" he said calmly and I nodded my head reassuringly. Trying to shake of the feeling of never seeing the only person that has been willing to talk to me.

"I..em.. I wanted to know.. if uh.. you maybe.. um wanted my number?" My eyes darting straight down into Franks, my pulse started to slow down at the thought of hope. Maybe this won't be the last time I see Frank!

"Yeah! I mean..uh yeah sure that sounds cool" I really need to learn how to control myself.

I reach into my back pocket and retrieve my phone, handing it over to Frank. I watch his thumbs move quickly across the screen before giving me back my phone.

"Don't hesitate to text me, okay?" I look down at Frank with a warm smile, locking my eyes with his before whispering a soft "Okay"

Frank slowly turns away from me and makes his way down his lawn, to his front door. Before he leaves me in the empty street alone and spins back round to look at me, smiling.

"Goodnight Gerard.."

"Goodnight Frank.."

I fall backwards into my bed, I let out a sigh of contentment. I curl up with my bed sheets, holding onto them tightly as I let my mind wander on about Frank.

My belly burns with excitement for what happened tonight, and I swear down I can say that boy is one of the most beautiful creature I have ever seen whilst spending my time on earth.

I try and get some sleep but flashes of Franks face keeps me awake, every now and then I glance at my phone sitting on my bed side table and ponder the thought of maybe giving Frank a quick text just so he has my number.

I give into the thought and grab ahold of my phone, the ultra bright light of my screen almost blinds me as go straight to the name 'Frank' in my contact list.

My fingers dance along the keyboard of my phone before finishing the message and hitting send.

"Hi sorry if I woke you up I just couldn't sleep and I just wanted to say that tonight was really nice. Gee x"

I sat my phone back down onto the bedside table knowing that I probably wouldn't get an answer until tomorrow morning, then the sudden vibration made me jump.

I picked up my phone rather excitedly and seen it was a reply from my last message from Frank.

"Hiya, I had a lot of fun too and I'd really like to meet with you again but I think sleep is getting the better of me right now, goodnight. Frnkxox"

I couldn't stop the smile slapped on my face, I was easily the happiest person in the world right now.

Before turning to my side and trying to sleep again I send Frank a small message.

"Sleep well. Gee x"
