I'll Never Let Them Hurt You, I Promise [A Frerard]

Chapter 3

The next day everyone was in the living room. Well, everyone but Gerard.

"Where the hell is he?" Mikey complained. 

Frank was just sitting on the couch silently. He was wondering if he should tell Mikey about the changes Gerard went through. He figured that Gerard should tell him, since Mikey is his brother.

Ray sighed. "Did he sleep in?"

Frank about answered, but he kept his mouth shut. This morning he woke up with Gerard's arms wrapped around him. He had his eyes closed, but he wasn't sure if he was asleep or not. Were the stories true, vampires really do sleep in the day and wake up at night? 

As if on cue, Gerard walked into the living room carrying two pages of lined paper that were held together with a paperclip. Gerard plopped down on the couch next to Frank.

"Sorry guys. I was finishing up a new song," He said a little too quietly. Mikey and Ray stared at him.

"Do you feel okay?" Ray asked. Gerard nodded and stared down at the paper he had in his hands.

"Last night I thought of these song lyrics, and maybe if we add instruments it can make the CD?" Gerard said, tossing the papers at Mikey and Ray.

Mikey reached for them. He took off the paper clip and read about two verses and raised his eyebrow.

"Why is the song about vampires?" He asked.

Frank bit his lip and Gerard shrugged.

"It's unique," Gerard replied.

Ray leaned over and looked at the papers Mikey were holding. 

"And if the sun comes up will it tear the skin right off our bones? Wow Gerard, this is deep," Ray teased.

"Oh, and 'Someone get me to to the doctor, someone get me to a church where they can pump this venom gaping hole'. How did you think of these lyrics," Mikey asked, somewhat laughing.

Frank turned his head to Gerard and saw the uneasy look on his face. Gerard didn't know if he should tell them what happened the night before, or keep it between him and Frank. Oh, and he also wondered if he should tell them that he has a crush on Frank.

Mikey and Ray were finally done with the song. They tossed the papers at Gerard. Gerard didn't know what to expect.

"Frank, you haven't been talking much," Ray said, a smile spreading across his face.

"I'm tired," Frank lied. Ray just nodded and turned back to Gerard.

"Well, I have no idea how you thought of those song lyrics," Ray commented. Mikey shook his head. "What was going through your head when you wrote this?"

"Can I read it? I wanna see why you're all making fun of it," Frank asked, turning his head back to Gerard. He handed Frank the papers and Frank read the lyrics.

He didn't see what everyone was making fun of. He thought the song was excellent. He gave the papers back to Gerard.

"I say we put it on the album," Frank said without hesitation.
