Maybe Summer Camp Isn't That Bad With You Here

Chapter 15

Gerard's P.O.V

After that night at the tree, Frank and I spent nearly all of our time together. The weeks blended together, almost too fast for me to keep track of. They were all full of laughter from our cabin, sneaking out at night to go back to our place, things we'd felt had become a routine for us. The sixth week had arrived and the air had a touch of sadness that everyone could feel. The camp counselors had started to use time to remind us to start packing for the day we'd go, friends were exchanging numbers and having as much fun as possible before their time ran out together. In fact, that's what Frank and I were doing right now. Patrick and Brendon had already fallen asleep while we were staring out the window, looking at the stars. The clock read 2:15am, only a few hours before we had to wake up to eat our last camp breakfast together. "I can't believe everything's coming to an end already," Frank said quietly from beside me. I turned to look at him, but he was still looking up at the night sky. "It's like....I don't know. Like we're graduating I guess? Everyone after this is gonna go their separate ways. There will never be another time where we're all together like this with the exact same people in the exact same place. Kind of terrifying really." His words hit, sad yet the unfortunate truth. We both stayed quiet for a moment, the only sound being the crickets outside and the breathing of everyone in the cabin. "Well, after graduation there's always the happiness of finding out there's a new path to take, and new people to meet. Maybe we won't be in this camp anymore, and maybe people will move away to another state, but we'll still have each memory we made. Even the carving on the tree will serve as a mark that we were once all here." I said out the window, my words traveling out to who knows where, just like we would. Frank's mouth ends turned up a bit, showing me a flash of a smile. "C'mon let's go to sleep. We've got a big day tomorrow." He looked over to the pile of bags and suitcases in the corner and sighed. But then he turned to look back at me and gave me a true smile of his as he grabbed my hand. I felt a light squeeze, then he pulled me away from the window. We got into bed and Frank fell asleep soon enough, but I stayed awake staring at the moon from where we were. I kept asking questions to the moon in my head, wondering what life would be like once we started school again. Sure I told Frank there was a bright side, but I had doubts and worries I didn't tell him. What if I asked mom to let me transfer to his school and she said no? And if she said yes, what if he was completely different from what he was like this summer? But as I felt him turn around and snuggle into the crook of my neck, I felt as if everything would be alright. With the peaceful sound of Frank's breathing, sleep finally came.
