Gerard:
Silence fell in the little shop as Jamia ran away. Frank didn't hesitate; jumping over the counter and sprinting out of the door after her, into the pouring rain. Gerard clutched his coffee cup closer: he guessed he wasn't going to be meeting Frank's parents after all then. Frank had caught up with Jamia almost halfway down the road: he could see them arguing through the smudged glass of the shop window. Frank was pulling on Jamia's arm, and she was shouting something back at him. She seemed furious, and Gerard was slightly worried she might punch Frank, who was holding on to her arm for dear life.Gerard knew he should probably go and help him, but that might just make the situation worse. He squinted through the window glass, which was stained and smudged with fingerprints and mud. How did mud even get on the window? This was the most disgusting shop ever. Not to mention freezing, which the crack down the middle of the window certainly wasn't helping with. Whoops! He was meant to be looking for Jamia and Frank. While he was distracted, Jamia had stopped trying to pull away, and was nodding. Then they turned and started to walk back into the shop, heads bowed against the driving rain. Jamia came in first, making sullen eye contact with Gerard as she did so. God this was awkward. Frank came in and stood next to Jamia in the middle of the shop, shuffling his feet uncomfortably.
They stood in silence, staring at each other, for a few seconds. Frank spoke first: "Jamia, I'm sorry you had to find out like this, but I promise this wasn't happening when we were together. But please, please don't tell anyone. I'm not ready to tell my parents yet". He looked at her beseechingly. Jamia looked away from him and stared at her shoes, but when he finished she looked directly into his eyes: "I love you, Frank. I always have done, and I always knew you didn't feel the same way. I won't tell them, I promise." Gerard gave a huge sigh of relief; he had thought they were really in the shit there. Maybe he could meet Frank's parents, after all.
Then Jamia smiled and added three more words that made his heart sink: "On one condition". Frank looked confused, but nodded. "I'm not keeping this secret, not unless I get something in return. So I want you to still tell people you're with me, until I decide otherwise. You will refer to me as your girlfriend and no one can no about this creep". She pointed at Gerard. Then she smiled cruelly and added the kicker: "And I want you to sleep with me. Just once. Or I'll tell everyone about this". Gerard's jaw dropped. How could she do this to Frank? "NO!" he shouted, and looked towards Frank, expecting him to be having the same reaction. How dare she even suggest this? But instead, after a long pause, Frank avoided Gerard's eye,gulped and said "Okay then". What? Surely Frank was joking. But he looked at him, and his face seemed deadly serious. Jamia nodded her head: "Okay then. Come to my house tomorrow night". Frank nodded, looking sick. Then she looked directly at Gerard, who was staring in disbelief from her to Frank. She smiled once, then turned and walked out of the shop.
Gerard turned on Frank: "What the FUCK? How can you agree to this? Don't you want to be with me?" He walked round the counter so he was standing directly in front of Frank. "Do you care about me at all Frank?" Frank shouted back: "I don't have a CHOICE here, if I don't she'll tell my parents about us!" Gerard shook his head, close to tears: "So why don't you just TELL THEM? You said you were going to anyway! Are you ashamed of me Frank?" Frank opened his mouth but couldn't answer. "I see" said Gerard, "Well, you don't have to be ashamed any more. Goodbye, Frank!" With that, he took one long look at Frank and he ran out of the shop door into the pouring rain, leaving Frank behind.
Heya guys sorry for the utter crappiness of this chapter but my friend @ghostgrenade and I were up till stupid o clock writing another frerard which is about a million times better than this :) we've written quite a lot of it and will post it when we've finished, so if you want to read it you won't have to wait centuries for it. Seriously, we were writing for 11 hours, so I'm kinda writing-ed out. I also didn't realise because I'm stupid, but I'm going on holiday and won't be back for a week so there won't be an update for like a week I'm really sorry :(
