-Chapter Title Credit:Falling InsideThe Black by Skillet -

Frank had to return to work a few days later,but he made sure Gerard stayed over at Mikeys so he wasn't alone.

Mikey had questioned this and Frank had quickly responded with something along the lines of 'He's had a rough time lately.He shouldnt be alone.' to which Mikey agreed.

Gerard wasn't very pleased to have Frank leaving his side,even if it was only for a few hours.

He didn't have a choice however,Alex could only cover Franks shifts for so long.

Frank was tense all day at work.

Gerard was constantly on his mind making it hard to focus on the tasks at hand.

Alex noticed Frank's off mood as the day progressed and tried to cheer him up by pulling a prank on their Co-Worker Jack.

But even as Jack emerged from the employee bathroom coated in ice cold water,cursing whoever had put a bucket of water over the door,Frank couldnt manage to smile properly.

This was the main reason Alex was weary to leave his brother to close the shop alone.

"Are you sure you don't want us to stay?"Alex asked for the hundredth time.

Frank rolled his eyes and looked towards Jack who was shyly standing by the front door,waiting.

Frank wasn't exactly sure HOW it had occurred,but Alex had managed to ask Jack on a date during the week.

It was about fucking time and Frank was NOT going to ruin this.

"Im fine.Im just worrying about Gerard.Go have a good time,you deserve it after covering for me all week."

Alex hesitated before finally giving in a joining Jack at the door.

Frank didn't miss the grateful smile Jack threw over his shoulder at him as they left.

Once the door had swung shut,encasing Frank in silence,He suddenly wished they would come back.

The shop was eerie alone.

He attempted to play Skillet on his ipod to break the silence as he started the lock up routine.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened and relief flushed through him as he stepped out into the dark New Jersey street,turning to lock the door behind him.

He was nearly bouncing with happiness at the fact he would soon be cuddled into Gerards arms.

Playing that image over in his head on repeat,Frank quickly sent a text to Mikey asking him to come pick him up.

The night air was as chilly as always and Frank sighed heavily,sitting down on a old bus bench just outside the shop.

Time seemed to pass extra slowly just to piss him off.

He glanced at his ipod in frustration to check the time.

Mikey would surely be here soon,it had been ten minuets already.

As if his thoughts had been read,a pair of headlights turned the corner and began to drive down the abandoned road.

Frank rose to his feet.

But the closer the vehicle got,the bigger it was.

It wasn't a car.

This wasn't Mikey.

Frank squinted his eyes confused,attempting to see what it was.

It wasn't until it had reached the street light only 20 feet away Frank realized what it was.

A truck.

A navy blue truck.

Franks world shattered.
