Chapter 28: Harsh Words

I sat sobbing in the rain for a few minutes when somebody stood next to me. I quickly got up as a wiped my tears.

"I'm sorry." He said. "I just can't have my heart broken again. I have been in pain for years knowing that I have loved you just to let you go. I can't keep going in circles."

"Frank, you still have Jamia."

"I know I do but...it isn't the same." He began to walk away when I grabbed his shoulder.

"It doesn't have to be like this." I muttered. My head lowered, facing the ground.

"What do you mean?" He said turning around.

"I mean...we could always leave. Leave this world together Frank."

"What are you insane? I've got a career to live I can't just let it die like everything else I've worked at. Find some other guy for your little fantasies Gerard." He said and began to walk away.

"Frank..."

"What?"

"I said that so you could see your true feelings. You don't love me enough to leave with me and your career is too important to you. You were never actually leaving us when you grabbed your bags."

"Of course I was. I'm sure some other guys would love to have me as a guitarist."

"No Frank. Before I left the hotel room to chase you down, I noticed that everything of yours but your suitcases were still in the room. You were never leaving. You couldn't. The pain you would feel would kill you slowly however, it would instantly devour myself. Without you, I am nothing." I began walking back to the hotel. I was at the street before Frank said,

"I know." And we walked each other back to the rusty old hotel. We walked into the room and laid next to each other on the bed. Our bodies have never been so far from one another. It was concerning and odd for us. I drifted into a dreamless sleep when all of a sudden somebody knocked on our door. I got up only to have Bob tell us that we're leaving town. We're headed toward Los Angeles.
