When Both Our Cars Collide (Frerard)

I'm gay?

He grabs my shoulders and slams me against the wall. He inches towards me. "Frankie... s-stop it..." Mikey appears almost out of nowhere and drags Frank off me. "Ugh, no one fucks with my brother..." He smiles at me. "You should go upstairs, as for you Frank...hand over the hoody and go home."

I go to my room, holding my hoody that now smells of Frank and sit on my bed. I sit and wonder if I ever could have a crush on him. But that ridiculous... I'm straighter than a ruler...right?

I wake up at eleven the next day. I check the time on my phone. "I'm late for school!" I get out of bed and charge around the room in my underwear. Mikey wakes up and bursts out laughing. "It's Saturday, you dipshit!" He can't stop laughing. Mikey and I have always been close, people always assume we're dating. But incest is wrong... Except for the one time we made out. But that meant nothing. We agreed not to speak of it...

I'm pretty sure he still likes me. I mean, sharing the same room, sometimes the bed. Sharing clothes and being 250% ok with seeing one another... Today is one of those days. "Have I ever told you how fit you look?" I sigh. "We're brothers Mikey, now shut up!" He keeps talking. "You didn't say that when we made out!" I frown. "You dick, shut up! Incest is wrong! Call Ray or some shit." I feel myself getting angrier.

"You know..." He walks up behind me and wraps his arms around my hips. "Mikey, stop it you disgusting little whore!" I pull his hands off and shove him away from me. "I hate you sometimes!" I grab a pair of jeans that are his and put on a jacket over my shirt that I was already wearing. I glance over at him for a second. He looks sad and innocent, which makes me feel guilty. I walk towards him and look up at him. "I-I'm sorry; you selfish pig..." I put on some Vans and leave. I get a text from Frank.

Frank: You're L8 idiot

Me: Sorry, I over slept and Mikey was annoying me a lil

Frank: (typing)

Frank: (typing)

Frank: (typing)

Frank: Oh.

I arrive at the cinema to see the film he wants to see. It's a new horror film, which I'm probably going to hate. It's based in a hospital, and I have the biggest phobia of needles. Which was perfect for him because I had no intention of getting scared and clinging onto him and then being so close to each other. I didn't want to put my head on his chest and I didn't want to look into his eyes slowly and kiss him, or make out with him. He had it all planned. I guess sometimes you can't control what happens in life,, you just roll with it.

The film finishes and the lights turn on. I instantly let go of him and sit up straight. I have to admit, it was amazing. But prom is soon and they won't let two guys go in...and I already asked out the hottest girl in school...Lindsey. I sigh and look away. He didn't do anything wrong but I just don't feel like looking at him. I pick up my drink and stand on my feet. He's destroying me.

"Frank, we can't go to prom together..." He looks at me and then looks away again. He grits his teeth and looks up at the ceiling. That's when I realise what he's doing. He's trying to stop himself from crying. I look towards the door and that's when I realise both Mikey and Lindsey are walking in. What are they doing here. I panic and feel like running or trying to hide my face but it's too late as they both walk towards me. Mikey hugs me tight and Lindsey kisses my cheek. I look back at Frank - but he's gone.

I look around but I can't see him. He left with out me. What the hell is wrong with him all of a sudden? He's been acting up and it's ruining everything for me. He can't accept the fact that we can only be friends. I can't and shouldn't love him, the same goes for Mikey. It's wrong.
