My Silent Undoing (Frank Iero)

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

                   

Chapter Thirty-Eight:

            My black dress fits so nicely on my curves.  I decide on doing a smoky eyed look.  I am currently working on getting my liquid eyeliner on, doing the winged part always throws me off.  I hear a knock on my door.  I go see who it is through the hole.  It's Ray.  I open the door.

            "Hey," he says nervously.  I wonder why he's nervous. 

            "Hi, come in.  I'm just finishing getting ready."  I say while walking back to the mirror.  I finish my liquid eye liner.  I put on some mascara and eye liner.

            "So are you excited for dinner?"  He asks me as he sits down on my bed.

            "Yes!" I exclaim.  I then put on my deepest red lipstick.  I grab my curling iron which was ready for me to use.  "Do you know where we are going for dinner?" 

            "You look gorgeous Lila," he says nervously.  I blush and smile at him. 

            "Thanks Ray," I say while feeling excited to be done getting ready.  I finally finish curling my hair.  "Done."  I turn back to look at him. 

            "So I noticed Frank was hanging out with that merch girl again today."  He says softly.  "Are you okay?"

            "Yeah I'm fine.  I met her today too.  She seems really nice."  I say with a smile.

            "I'm glad you're fine.  I think Frank's an idiot.  He's missing out on patching things up with you."  He utters sadly.

            "Listen, Frank can do whatever he wants.  We don't have to get back together.  Why is everyone in this band obsessed with us?"  I laugh.

            "Because he still cares a lot about you.  So, I don't get it."

            "I feel confident about tonight." I say with confidence. 

            "Really?"

            "Yeah I'm all dressed up.  It's going to be a fun night.  Talking it we should head down." 

            "Yeah good idea," he gets up.

            "I'll be there in a few minutes.  I have to do a few last things."  Ray heads out of the room, and I go and spray some perfume on and put on some diamond stud earrings.  I then grab a silver necklace with silver flowers on it.  I then put on my black heels and grab my small black purse.  

I am coming down the stairs to find the boys in the lobby.  This dress is so perfect.  It fits my figure a little too snuggly.  I don't feel worthy of its beauty.  Right as I near the bottom of the stairs I spot him...Frank.

He is wearing blue jeans, a white shirt, and this black leather jacket that makes my heart race.  I feel my eyes burn as I watch him look over to me.  I see him tense under my gaze.  Gerard meets me at the bottom of the stairs. 

"You look divine!"  He declares, and drags my hand down the stairs.

"Heels Gerard! Heels!"  I remind him.  He just giggles.  I try my best not to fall down the stairs as I am getting dragged by him. 

"Oops." 

"Ass."  I respond.  He looks over at me.

"You looked like an angel till you opened your damn mouth."  He sticks his tongue out at me.  I flick him off.  I am now in front of Frank, Ray, Bob, and Mikey.
