Is It All Gone Forever?

Chapter 3

Hi! Alright, here is Chapter 3. Enjoy.
                 Gerard's POV
     I wake up and am still in Frank's arms. I check to make sure Bandit isn't awake yet, she isn't. I should wake up Frank and have him leave before Lyndsey comes back home and we tell Bandit about us getting a divorce. I kiss Frank's forehead. He's rubs the sleep from his eyes and looks at me.
    "Gerard, why did you wake me up? It's so early and it's Saturday." Frank asks.
   "I woke you up because I think it would be awkward if you were here when Lyndsey and I tell Bandit that we're getting divorced." I explain to Frank.
    "That makes sense but where do I go?" Frank asks.
     I try to think of ideas, Frank can't hide in the apartment, he might be small but there's not a lot of hiding places for him. I have an idea.
    "You could go to Starbucks or something and I could text you when it's okay for you to come back." I tell him. He nods.
    "Alright I will. Let me know when Lyndsey is coming and I'll go to Starbucks." Frank says.
   "I will baby. Sorry for waking you up early." I say, kissing his cheek.
    A couple hours later, Frank fell asleep again. I gotta wake him up, Lyndsey said she was coming back to the apartment to get some things of hers and to tell Bandit about us getting divorced. I tap Frank's shoulder.
    "Frank?" I say, trying to wake him up.
    "What?" He asks, still tired.
     "Lyndsey texted me and said she was coming back to the apartment." I say. Frank nods.
    "Okay. Well I'll be back in a few. I love you." Frank says and kisses me before he walks out of the apartment.
    A couple minutes later, the door opens. Oh god, it's Lyndsey. Bandit walks out of her room, rubbing her eyes.
   "Hi mommy, you're back home." She says and sits on the couch beside me. Lyndsey sits next to Bandit.
   "Bandit, we have some bad news to tell you." I say, my eyes starting to water. I look at Lyndsey to say the next part but she doesn't make eye contact with me.
    "What is it?" Bandit asks, scared.
    "Mommy and I are getting a divorce." I say. Bandit looks shocked and starts to cry. I wrap my arm around Bandit and hug her.
     "It's okay Bandit. You'll see both of us. It's okay." I say and kiss the top of her head.
      "Alright, well I'm going to get some of my stuff." Lyndsey says and gets up off the couch. Bandit frowns. Wow I'm starting to hate Lyndsey, she couldn't even give Bandit a hug when we were tell her that we were getting a divorce.
    Around an hour later or so, Lyndsey is gone and most of her stuff is too. Bandit is starting to feel better.
   "Hey Bandit?" I ask her.
   "Yeah daddy?" She asks.
   "Would it be okay if Frank came over?" I ask, hoping she says yes.       
  "Yay! Frank!" Bandit smiles and nods yes.
    I should text Frank that he can come back.
    Me- Hey baby, you can come back now.
    A few minutes later, Bandit and I hear a knock on the door. I hope it's not Lyndsey. Luckily, it's Frank. He walks in and I close the door.
    "Frank!" Bandit says and hugs him.
   "Hi Bandit." Frank smiles. We all sit down on the couch, I turn on My Little Pony cause it's Bandit's favorite show.
    After a little while, Bandit falls asleep. I carry her to her room, to make sure that if Frank and I kiss or anything, she won't see because she just found out about Lyndsey and I getting a divorce and I don't wanna put any more sadness on her.
I walk back into the living room and an greeted by a hug from Frank. I turn around and kiss him.
     "Gerard, can you promise me one thing?" Frank asks.
    "What is it?" I ask, wondering what it is, kinda scared.
    "Promise me that you won't start drinking again, I know it's hard but I hate seeing you hurt, it makes me hurt too. If you ever feel like relapsing, please talk to me." Frank says, his eyes watering.
    "I will Frank. Hey, it's okay. Don't cry." I say, hugging him.
