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

Chapter 5

"I really need to get sleep," Frank mumbled, tossing around in his bed. He barely got any sleep last night, when he did get sleep he was in Gerard's arms and he only slept for a few hours like that.

He closed his eyes and drifted off a little bit before he heard the front door to the house opening and closing. Frank shot up and slowly got out of bed. He was too tired, but he wondered if it was Gerard.

He walked as fast as his tired self could and grabbed the doorknob. He twisted it, yanked it open, and ran out onto the porch barefoot.

Gerard had his back to the front door and he was staring up at the sky.

.

Unlike the other night, the sky was clear and you could see every star and the full moon.

Frank shut the door and walked slowly to Gerard and stopped a few feet behind him. "Hey," Frank said awkwardly.

Gerard turned around and smiled. It was a smile that made Frank's heart melt and he felt like he couldn't stand anymore.

He spun around and walked in front of Frank. He stopped smiling and they just stared at each other  for a few seconds in silence. Frank finally smiled a little bit.

Gerard, on the other hand, was panicking. The thirst was back. His vision was blurring. If he didn't get out of there, would Frank...?

He couldn't bare to this of what he might do.

Gerard closed his eyes and tried to bring himself back to reality. The thirst got worse. 

"Gerard?" Frank asked, concerned. Gerard shook his head and backed away.

"Get out of here Frank. Go back in the house. Now," Gerard said, his voice shaky.

Frank nodded and backed away slowly. He wasn't sure if he should stay and help him or obey, but Gerard looked like he could kill someone so he obeyed.

He opened the front door and slammed it shut. He closed his eyes, leaned his head against the door for a few seconds, and then ran back into his bedroom. He closed his bedroom door and crawled into bed, exhausted.

He woke up later, around 7:00 AM. The sun still hasn't risen yet.

Frank wanted to go back to sleep, but then his mind flashed back to Gerard last night. Was he okay? 

He groaned and got out of bed. He walked out of his bedroom and knocked on Gerard's bedroom door. No answer. 

Frank sighed, rubbed his eyes, and then opened the bedroom door. No one was in there. He closed the bedroom door and walked back to his bedroom, but when he opened the door Gerard was sitting on his bed. It made Frank jump.

Gerard smiled a little devious smile and then stood up. "Stop worrying and go back to sleep."
