After hours of searching for Frank I decided to look in the park, the one where we had met, he wasn't mean to me then in fact he was really nice and then we started high school and he changed.
Surely enough I saw him lying beside the see-saw with a bottle of vodka in his hand.
"Frank?" I shook him awake "it's me," I whispered and he frowned.
"You don't love me," he spoke drunkly "you love Gerard," he sat up and stared at me.
"Frank drinking isn't the answer,"  I started and he cut me off.
"YOU have no right to tell me that," I felt a pain in my chest.
"Frank-" I was cut out by him again.
"ELLA I LOVE YOU!" he yelled "AND I WANNA SCREAM IT AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS but I'm afraid someone will hear me!" I smiled at his Fall Out Boy reference.
"Frank who said I didn't love you?" I asked and he stared at me.
"You hug Gerard, You kiss GERARD and YOU SLEEP WITH GERARD... Not me," he spoke slipping from screaming to whispering. I looked at him before kissing him, I stopped for a second to speak.
"I broke up with GERARD to be with YOU," I saw his eyes glisten and went back to kissing him.

"Els?" Frank smiled as he woke me up I looked around to see we were in the woods,
"Good morning, Iero," I smiled
"Good morning E," he smiled and kissed my head.
"What time is it?" I asked he looked around for his phone.
"It is... One pm," he smiled
"Shit!" I jumped up and threw on my top to see him laughing.
"What is it?" He put on his jeans
"I was imposed to meet you know eh..." Frank finished the sentence for me.
"Gerard," he smiled as he put on his top and I grabbed my shoes.
"Yeah," I smiled and he hugged me before turning serious.
"I'm sorry," he pulled away to see my face.
"For what?" I asked intently
"What I said last night," he looked at his feet
"You were drunk," I said "it's okay," he pulled me back before speaking
"Come on I'll take you to see Gerard," he smiled
"Hey Frank?" I walked with him "can we keep this quiet for now it would be weird if Gerard found out so soon," he nodded and pulled me along.

I walked up to Gerard and he hugged me before leaning in to kiss me but I pulled away and spoke.
"Gerard, what're you doing?" I tried to be nice
"Kissing you," he said bluntly
"Gerard remember last night when I said we were hurting each other?" he nodded "Gerard I meant I'm breaking up with you," he stared at me for a a second.
"You slept with Frank," he gave me a blank stare until I nodded.
"Slut," he muttered under his breath
"What did you just call me?" I felt my chest tighten up as he repeated it.
"Slut," he said it a bit louder and I turned to walk away but he grabbed my hand.
"Don't make a scene Gerard," I pointed out we were at a park.
"You slept with him," he looked down at me.
"Yes I spelt with him, I slept with your best friend, but we were broken up so it wasn't cheating," I stated bluntly and went to walk away but he grabbed my arm and looked at me.
"Gerard you're hurting me," I said But he tightened his grip which brought tears to my eyes.
"You bitch," he pulled me closer and I took the chance to insult him
"You're just like my dad," he let go and I fell to the ground, I saw Frank run up to me.
"E are you alright?" he yelled pulling me to my feet Gerard stood staring at me still shocked about what I had said seconds prior.
"Ella," he started "I'm so sorry to be honest I'm drunk," he stated.
"Gerard it's two o'clock in the afternoon," I looked worriedly at him.
"So what?" He looked really judging "at least I don't want to kill myself," I stared at him and Frank stared at me. "Oh you haven't told Frank that though have you?" He made my tears build up until I couldn't hold it anymore and let a few slip.
"E, please tell me he's lying," Frank looked at me and I shook my head slightly but he hugged me tighter than he had ever done before.
"Gerard, why would you say that?" I let the tears flow freely from my face.
"It's the truth isn't it? You hated Frank so much to the point that you attempted suicide four times," Frank stared at me intensely with pain in his eyes.
"Gerard stop," I couldn't take it anymore
"Have you told him the time that he broke your rib by punching you? Or the time he cut your side with that vodka bottle while you were lying on the grass?" He stared at me making me feel like a mouse in a field with an eagle beside it.
"E, tell me he's lying?" Frank stared at me in pain.
"Frank-"
"I was the one who threw the vodka bottle at you," he stared in my eyes before hugging me.
"Frank it-" I stopped myself realising what Gerard was doing, he would get us to fight and cry so he could do something.
"What?" He asked
"Please we can't fight, he wants us to fight," I looked at Frank and he nodded before turning to Gerard and staring, before I knew it Frank was besting the shit out of Gerard I screamed and ran to him I pulled him back and falling in front of Gerard.
"What are you doing?"'he asked
"Stopping you from hurting him," I looked him in the eye and he put down his fists before picking me up and hugging me...
