Unexpected Love

Small Things

I woke up again at 10:00 and texted Frank.

Come to you're window - Julia

Okay Babe - Frankiee xox

He walked over to his window and look across at me, and i blew him a kiss. He had a huge smile on his face.

The little things mean a lot to him. Like, he's making me realise our relationship doesn't have to be all phsyical. He's teaching me to enjoy the small things, like hugging, holding hands, even simple little pecks.

I walked away from the window and my phone buzzed again.

Would you like to hangout with Gerard and I today? Gerard is bringing his broter and our friend Ray. We were thinking... Mall? -Frankie xo

Sure baby! I hope they like me. Xoxo

Ha! I beat him. I had more "xo"s .

I spoke too soon.

New Message from Frank Iero

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxox. Beat that! -Frankie..xo :)

Oh Frank I thought.

I jumped in the shower. The warm water felt amazing.

I came out of the shower with a towel wrapped around me, only to find Frank sitting on my bed. He came in threw the window.. Again.

"Hey Frankie" I said, followed by a quick kiss.

"Don't mind me, I was just bored at home so I came over. Hope you don't mind" he said

I wandered around picking out my clothes.

Black skinny jeans, a plain black t-shirt, and a red hoodie.

I got changed in the bathroom and when I came back out, Frank had fallen asleep on my bed.

Awe, Frank looked so cute when he was asleep.

I crawled into bed beside him, and lightly put him head on his chest.

I could hear and feel his heart beat.

I finally decided to wake him up. "Frank, babe, wake up, we gotta go meet the guys" I said

"Shit! I fell asleep!" he said as he jumped up and then added "You look great!"

We met the guys at the mall at 11:30.

"Hey Gerard!" I said as I hugged him

"Julia, this is my brother Mikey" he said pointing to a shy guy with long hair in his face. He just quickly shook my hand and then looked away.

"He's just shy at first. Don't worry" Frank whispered

"And this is Ray!" Gerard said

"Nice to meet you, Ray" I said as I shook his hand. This guy had a MASSIVE Afro. Like, huge. I loved it.

We wandered around the mall, skipping, singing, yelling, pretty much drawing attention to ourselves.

We went to the food court for lunch and had pizza. Frank had cheese pizza, and explained he was a vegetarian.

"So how do you guys know eachother?" I asked

"We all go to highschool together, and we love the same music, and comics and stuff. We've just all got a lot in common and stick together. We have another friend, Bob, but he's moody sometimes, and said he didnt wanna come today" Ray said

"what grade are you in, Mikey?" I asked, trying to get him to talk

"Eleven" he said quietly, not looking up from his plate.

Gerard lightly punched Mikey in the shoulder. "She won't bite. Loosen up, will ya!"

I chuckled, and so did Frank.

So I planned everyone out in my head.

Mikey was in grade eleven, Frank and I were in grade ten and Gerard and Ray had graduated already

"What school are you going to Gerard?" I asked

"I'm going to Art school in New York" he said

Whoa! I had no idea Gerard was into art.

Frank changed the subject. "The old man was yelling at me this morning about the guitar again" he said

Guitar?

"Oh shit, really? My parents were cool with it" Ray said

"Well, you don't come from a long line of drummers." Frank said

"True.." Ray said

"He just hates that I won't drum. I just love guitar so much more" Frank said

"I think my grandma was kinda upset when I stopped singing in elementary school. She always thought I had what it took. But I just wasn't into it. It wasn't me, but she's proud of my art, so I'm happy with that!" Gerard said

Wait, let me get this straight... Frank and Ray play guitar, and Gerard can ... sing?
