CHAPTER 28:

-----Gerard's POV-----

They had shot my Frankie. They had shot my baby, my little Fronkeh, my true love, the man I had hoped would become my husband. Now that hope was dashed against the rocks of reality and I knew it would never happen because he was dead. Now that there was nothing standing between me and telling the police what happened, I started dressing quickly. I ran a hand through my hair as I practically sprinted towards the door.

As my thin fingers encompassed the doorknob, my cell phone rang its annoying ring. I dug it out of my tight, bright red skinny jeans and flipped it open without checking the caller I.D.

"Hello?" I asked irritably.

"G-Gee?" A faint voice slipped through the ear piece and into my eardrum. I recognized that voice. It was the voice I had fallen so helplessly in love with and that I wanted to hear every single day for the rest of my life.

"Frank?!" I shouted.

"Yeah... It's me...."

I was at a loss for words, which was really rare for me. He was alive. They had probably shot the wall, just to scare the hell out of me. It was cruel and unusual, but this was Them we're talking about.

"Gerard? Are you there?" Frank's voice ripped me out of my thoughts.

"Frank! Oh, my God! I thought you were dead... Where are you? Are you with Them? Are you OK? Did they hurt you?" My thought were in such a frenzy that I just let them all tumble out at once. There was a very long pause on his end and lots of heavy sighs.

"I'll explain when you come get me. I'm at the truck stop on I-80... I think." His answer astounded me. How could they take him that far in that short time.

"Don't move, baby. I'm on my way."

"O-OK." His voice shook. "I'll see you soon."

I rushed through a good-bye, just so I could get out the door and on my way to saving Frank. I was about to flip the phone closed when he yelled, "Wait! I have something to say."

I stopped in my tracks, hoping he'd say he loved me for the first time since he had the talk with me about how he didn't love me. I waited on my toes, but it never came.

"Never mind," he said, "I'll just tell you when you get here."

With that we said our good-byes and hung up.

~~~~~~TIME LAPSE~~~~~~

It took me almost two and a half hours to find where Frank said he was. I sped a lot of the way, but never once got pulled over. Along the way, I laughed and cheered, I screamed and cried, but it was all in spirit of getting Frank back.

I peeled into the gas station and practically jumped out of my car, which was actually Frank's car but technicalities. I sprinted over to the phone booth he must've used and looked around. I searched the convenient store and the diner, but couldn't find him anywhere.

I took a walk of shame back to the car, dejected and wanting to scream because I was too late and lost him again. I brought my head up momentarily to make sure I wasn't going to walk into anything when I saw a little man leaning against my car.

He had no shirt on, was short but muscled, and he was my Frankie.

Tears filled my eyes when I saw him and I sprinted for the third time that day into his arms. I wrapped my skinny arms around his bare torso and lifted him up so he could put his head on my shoulder. I felt him crying and shaking, but it didn't matter because I was too. I never cried so hard in my life. Not even when my mother and father died, or at their funeral.

We brought our heads off each other's shoulders and I engaged him in a passionate kiss. It wasn't a dirty kiss, but it was the best kiss I'd ever had in my entire life. My thoughts were a crumpled ball so that I couldn't distinguish one from the other to form a coherent sentence so I kept kissing him. I didn't care if the whole world was watching in disgust at two men kissing in public, I just wanted to feel Frank's lips against mine. I could swear I felt myself falling for him even more than I already had.

We kissed and hugged and cried until our lips and eyes were very swollen. Finally after we were all cried out, we stared into each other's eyes. I got lost in his liquid hazel eyes in an instant.

"I love you, Frank. More than anything or anyone I've ever loved in my life," I gushed.

"I love you, too, Gerard. Even if I didn't think I did before, I'm 18427% positive you're the one I want to spend the rest of my life with."

We stood there in that parking lot for over an hour rejoicing our reunion.

And in that moment, I swear we were infinite.

I had a good time writing this chapter, because I wanted it to give people feels, so I tried.

Also, there will be probably between 2 and 5 more chapters. HOWEVER, I already have ideas swirling around in my head for a sequel! If you'd be interested in that, please let me know.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and in case anyone's wondering, yes that was a "The Perks Of Being A Wallflower" reference. That reference will probably be the title of the sequel (if I decide to make one). Enjoy, my Cuties! ^.^
