Gerard's POV

     When my drawings scattered on the floor, Frank went to pick them up. He picked up a drawing of himself and stared at me, then at the drawing, then he ran to his bathroom. He came back in, and said "Its amazing. It's amazing! How? How is it so good?" He looked at me, expecting an answer. He never got one, because my phone rang. I ducked into the kitchenette and answered. "Hello?" I saw the number and nearly laughed. "Where are you?" said the voice of my very pissed girlfriend. "At a friends house. Why?" I replied. "You were supposed to be here for when I woke up." Her voice got softer as she said this. "I'm sorry. You didn't tell me, so I didn't know." I wish I could say I was guilty feeling, but I wasn't.  "What kind of a boyfriend are you?" Fake hurt dripped from her words. "The kind that has never yelled at you, never hit you, never let you sleep on the floor, never made you do somthing you didn't want to and never, under any circumstances, let you see me cry." All I heard in response was the sound of her shocked breathing. I have never stood up to her to that extent. "I'm leaving. We're over Gerard. Goodbye." I started to shout. "Fine! Take your damn goldfish too!" Angry, sad and shocked tears streamed down my face as my heart shattered into millions of pieces. Frank popped his head in. "Is everything alright in here?" He asked. I ran toward him and wrapped my long arms around him. "M-my g-girlfriend j-just b-broke up-p with me." I choked out, in between brokenhearted sobs. Frank. Frank was the only stable thing in my world that was slowly crumbling.
