In The Shadows ( frerard)

05: Gerard's pov

AN: Watch the video above and tell me Frerard wasn't real!

I sat down on my bed as Frank dressed into a change of clothes. He seemed to be comfortable with changing infront of me. I hope he has the same feelings for me. I thought as I secretly watched Frank, he had tattoos on his upper torso that I hadn't noticed earlier, that just made me crush on him harder.

I thought about what he had said about his father under his breath. This told me that Frank is gay. That was good news for me I guess, I wouldn't be the only gay person at my school... well, besides Pete and my brother.... But that was a long story I'll get to later.

When Frank finished dressing, he realized that I had been watching him the whole time. He smirked, he seemed to not care that I watched.

I started to blush a bright red when he smiled at me. So I ended up going to the kitchen to grab a bottle of red liquid out of the fridge; blood. The metallic scent of Frank's clothes made me crave the rich taste of blood. I didn't enjoy sucking the blood of humans because I used to be one, so I prefer to drink animal blood.

"Hey Frankie, I'm gonna fix some popcorn. You want some? "
"Sure." I decided I needed to get to know Frank better, before he heard all of the rumors that people have spread about me. I needed him to trust me before he went to that horrid school.

I found out that Mikey decided to go to Pete's house to "hang out". So it was just me and Frank. We decided to binge watch a random sci-fi horror movie. We ended up sitting on the couch sharing a blanket. Since it was a Saturday, we ended up staying up until 3am, Frank was the first one to fall asleep, he was leaned up against me and it was so adorable. I also ended up passing out at least 30 minutes after Frank.

It was the summer of 2001, the day Mikey and I mourn at the loss of our grandmother, Elena. I was twelve at the time, and Mikey was nine. We both had decided to run away to visit our Grandmother's grave. Let's just I didn't take her death very well. Every morning my mother would find me curled up in a ball sobbing with eyeliner running down my cheeks. It was about 12:00 pm when Mikey and I heard someone in the graveyard, it was a cult. Mikey and I were paralyzed with fear. We both hid behind the gravestone of our late grandmother. I had gotten a good glimpse of the cult, they all had sharp fangs, and their eyes red with the thirst for human blood. I hoped to God that they had not seen us. I was wrong. One of the members had seen us, so the rest of the cult of vampires decided to go in the direction we were hiding. They eventually found us and one with spiked up black hair grabbed me by the throat, and stuck his fangs in my neck. And then my poor baby brother Mikey had the same thing happen to him, but with a girl with green hair. One of the cult members begged for them not to die, but to have a few pints left. And that's what they did. The cult just left us there in the graveyard. The next morning we found ourselves still in the graveyard. But the person who had begged for us to live was Mikey's age. We would later find out that his name was Pete Wentz, and that he was born into a family of vampires in Chicago and he has just moved here. Mikey and I had transformed into vampires, and had no idea how to live a normal life. Pete ended up teaching us how to control our abilities until we had gotten the hang of it. Mikey had became such good friends with Pete over the next few years that he had started to date him.

I woke up to the sight of Mikey sneaking inside. He stopped and reaized that I was up. "Oh you're up, I see that you and Frank have gotten along." Mikey teased noticing that Frank was asleep on the couch. "Oh, shut up!" Gerard blushed. "So what did you and Pete do?" Gerard asked, trying to change the subject. "Oh, you know the usual." Mikey said. The usual was gossiping about rumors that they had heard about themselves.... Or they were just flirting alot. For some reason, people at our school find gay people interesting just because they like the same gender. I never knew why.

Me and Mikey ended up talking in the kitchen, I told him about Frank's crash, and that he was supposed to be going to our school, and that I've warned him about the rumors that people have spread about me, Mikey, Pete, Patrick, Andy, Joe, Ray, Brendon, Ryan, Jon, And poor Spencer. All of our friends combined. I didn't want him to believe all of that stuff about me, Mikey and Pete, most importantly. He couldn't handle the fact that we were vampires, he would probably just run away.
