/Frerard/ You have no idea what you're up against

Chapter 6: Welcome to Hell

Time skip to 3 months later, at the end of August, a month after the tour ended.

Frank's POV:

Gerard has been acting crazy about trying to figure out who this author is. He's went in and out of the supernatural world just to try and find him or her, but with no luck. I mean, it would be really difficult to find someone when you don't even know what they look like. He invited me over to his place to talk and hang out. It's been a long time since we've done this because we rarely got chances when we were on tour and doing concerts. They've died down a bit but I know they will start popping up again like crazy eventually.

"Hey Gee?" I knocked lightly on his bedroom door. His front door was unlocked for some reason, maybe he wanted me to let myself in? I don't know...

"Yeah, come in Frank." I creak open the door to see Gerard sitting at his desk drawing something in his sketch pad. It's looks very well done.

I creep up behind him to see what he's drawn. It's look amazing. It's a grey, dull remote city, with litter and dust flying everywhere. It's looks really dark and deep, I should ask him about this.

"Um Gee? What's this picture about?" He stops drawing and looks up to me.

"I would love if you could guess." Ugh I hate when people do this. Guess what? What? No, you have to guess! And that's when I kill them. Just pisses me off so much.

"I know you hate guessing so I'm going to give you a clue. It's based off of one of my comic books hint hint black parade."

"Oh, it's meant to be what you think hell looks like, I remember!" Whenever I came over to see Gerard, he'd let me read some of his comic books. He loves drawing comic art so he decided on making all these comics and always hoped they would get published someday. I believe that they will, he's really talented with the art style, and the plot is just as good! Being one of the fabulous killjoys would sound like so much fun...

"Yep, hell is just the like world, except worse."

"If that's even possible." Gee turns back to his picture and starts drawing some figures.

"Who are they?" These people looked like they'd have to be in a mental hospital. Some of them had masks on them, others had dark makeup.

"They are specific sinners, means they died because of deeper reasons than a car crash or natural disaster." My eyes scan over all these 'specific sinners'. There's this one guy that stands out. And another girl with a gas mask on.

"How did he die?" I point to this guy with deep dark bags underneath his eyes, looks like he had been crying.

"Lucas? He died because of cancer, he put up quite the fight though." Interesting, he named the characters.

"And what about her?" I point to the frizzy haired blonde  wearing a gas mask.

"Laina died because of bulimia and anorexia. Eating disorders will eat you." I let a smirk escape my lips, shit. This picture is meant to be serious and I nearly laughed at it.

Luckily Gerard didn't notice since his face was still turned towards his picture. He reached out to his left for a calligraphy pen.

Then he wrote at the very top of the page 'Welcome to hell".

"Why hell? Why not heaven or your house, gee is there something up with you?" I hadn't actually noticed anything different about him, the only time I was ever suspicious of him was when I was trying to find out if he was a vampire or not.

I can kind of see tears welling up in his eyes. Oh please don't cry Gerard, you know I can't take it.

"I'm sorry frank, I really want to tell you, but I'm just scared." Fuck it, why did you have to let a tear escape.

"Why are you scared?" Gerard shouldn't be scared to tell me anything.

"I'm scared of your reaction, I haven't told any of my family or friends, not even my parents. But I know I have to tell you now or else I will break down." Come one, tell me already then.

"Remember, that no matter what you say I will always be your best friend." That's true. I can't imagine not seeing him ever again if I left him now. I need to know this secret.

AN: please don't kill me for the cliffhanger, I did nothing to you! Except keep you waiting and putting you in dramatic suspense, but oh well.
