Frank's POV:
*An hour later*
I'm getting worried about Rookie, so I decide to go downstairs and check on her.
I tiptoe down the hall and down a few creaky steps. I look down at the couch from the stairs and see Gerard sat on the floor in front of Rookie, talking to her.
She's asleep, but he's talking anyway.
"So... I guess we're back where we started.... here." He lightly chuckles "You know- You know that butterfly feeling you get when you're anxious, or you're scared or nervous, or maybe you get it cause you're in love? Well, I have the worst butterfly feeling ever. I'm scared for you, I'm nervous for you, and I'm totally, crazy in love with you. I-I know that sounds super cheesy, but it's only the truth. Look, you might not make it. But I just want you to know that I'll miss you, now and forever. I'll miss you so much." He gives her a kiss then rests his head up against the couch "Goodnight." He closes his eyes.
She weakly smiles, eyes still closed "I love you too Gee." She whispered.
You know, maybe he wasn't so bad after all. I tiptoe back upstairs and realize I have that butterfly feeling too. I'm scared, I'm nervous, and I love her too much to see her hurt like this. I might settle BLI by myself, but that's not my top priority right now.
It's keeping Rookie alive, if we can.
