Gerard's pov

I closed the door to the house behind me as I stepped into my home, things were silent. I looked over to see my mum and Mikey looking up at me from the dining table.
There were three plates of dinner in front of them, obviously the third plate of food being for me.

My stomach lurched with hunger as I smelt what mum had prepared. I made my way I've to the table, attempting to ignore their stares by not looking back at them.

What is their deal? Geez.

I took a seat at the table in front of the unattended plate that sat on the opposite side of the table to them; acting as casual and plain as I could hoping that they'd lose interest in me and continue eating and chatting between eachother.
I hate being the centre of attention.

I felt my uneasiness grow.
I shifted a little in my seat, feeling uncomfortable as I could still feel their eyes fixed on me.
I swallowed the saliva that I had let well in my mouth for too long, and picked up my knife and fork hoping they'd lose interest in me.

What do they want? Are they expecting me to say something? Have I done something wrong? Did they find my gay porn magazine? No that can't be it. What are they staring at?

These questions swelled in my mind as my uncomfortableness grew under their stare.

That's when I just cracked, slamming my knife and fork back down on the table I flung my head up and met their gaze.
"What?" I demanded rudely as I looked at the both of them.

They both looked down at their plates 'casually' but immediately before our eyes could lock. 'Nothing, nothing' they both mumbled as they began eating the rest of their meal.

Unconvinced, I continued to glare at them as try refused to make eye contact with me.
What am I missing here. I hate not knowing what's going on.

Reluctantly I slowly started eating my dinner too.
Everything fell Into silence except for the clinking of cutlery on plates.

"Soo.." Mum spoke up breaking the silence. "What where you up to?" She asked casually, the question being directed at me.

"I was out for a walk." I replied simply, not willing to go into any detail.

"Oh." Mum replied in a flat tone letting the conversation die.
Things fell silent again....
Until Mikey piped up..

"..With frank." He said under his breath but loud enough for everyone to hear clearly. There was amusement and a smirk to his words.

I froze momentarily, but then quickly decided I should act as if I hadn't heard his comment and had No care for it as I continued to eat dinner.

"You going to tell me more about this frank guy?" Mum pressed.

It was at that moment I realised I was in an ambush.
It was now clear to me, that mum and Mikey had already had a discussion about the subject of me and frank before I walked in.
They obviously seemed to see the subject as somewhat amusing and where now seeking more information on the matter so that they could gossip about it together like two teenage girls.

Realising their little game, I decided I wasn't going to give them that satisfaction; which is why I went with my simple reply of.

"No."
Spoken in a plain and mutual tone, I felt happy with myself and mentally congratulated myself for winning this round of 'let's get all involved in Gerard's life'.
