Starman (Frerard)

Chapter 7

    When Frank left Mikey’s house with his pay, he stopped at Target to get Gerard’s toy. After that, he got home and wrapped it. When Frank got done with that, he looked at the time on his phone; it was a quarter to four. Frank suddenly realized that he had the rest of the day to himself. He smiled, deciding practice guitar and work on the songs he’s been writing. It had been a while since he last did that since he’s been busy taking care of Gerard, but now, he had plenty of time for his hobby. He smiled, knowing that he finally has quite a lot of time to himself, especially since he doesn’t have work tomorrow, but he will still see Gerard tomorrow for his special day.

    Frank walked to his studio room, where he keeps his guitars, amps, and LPs for his record player. He picked up his Fender guitar, thinking of what to practice. He quickly decided to play his cover of “You Are My Sunshine”. It made him think of someone special in his life, who just so happens to be the same person he’s taking care of for a living.

    Frank suddenly felt his phone vibrate. He picked it up to see that Jamia was calling him. He smiled, answering the phone and bringing it up to his ear.

    “Hey, babe,” he said.

    “Hey, honey. Are we still up for dinner tomorrow?” Jamia asked.

    “Of course,” Frank replied.

    “Good, good. I just wanted to make sure. What are you up to?”

    “I’m gonna start practicing on my guitar. Gerard’s birthday is tomorrow. That’s the guy I told you about that I’m taking care of,”

    “Oh, nice! Are you gonna see him that day?” Jamia asked happily.

    “I am. He’s gonna have a birthday party tomorrow. I got him this toy from the store he really liked when I went shopping with him and his brother,” Frank responded.

    “Oh, that’s great! Well, I actually gotta get going now. My break is over,” Jamia said.

    “Okay, hun. Talk to you later,”

    “Bye,”

    Frank hung up, smiling to himself. He was excited about seeing his girlfriend again and have a yummy dinner with her tomorrow, but he was especially excited to see Gerard on his birthday. He knew he would love the gift he’s gonna give him. Frank got himself set up with his guitar after plugging it up to his amp, strumming it. He couldn’t be in a happier mindset than he already was.

    Frank pulled into the parking lot of Gerard and Mikey’s house, shutting off the engine, then grabbing Gerard’s present. He walked up to the door, ringing the doorbell. Almost immediately, Mikey answered, a smile on his face.

    “Oh wow, Frank. You actually came!” he said excitedly.

    “No reason not to,” Frank laughed. Mikey looked down, eyeing the present in Frank’s hand.

    “I see you got Gerard a gift. You can put it with the stack of other gifts. Some of Gerard’s friends came over,” Mikey said.

    “Oh, alright. Where’s Gerard?” Frank asked as he walked inside the house, seeing a plethora of zoo animal themed decorations scattered all around the house. Frank quickly spotted a small stack of presents in the corner of the living room, and set his gift to Gerard down with them. When Frank looked over to his left, he found Gerard sitting with two other men on the couch, all of them watching The Avengers. Gerard sat in the middle, with a man with a mass of brown and curly hair sitting on Gerard’s left, and a blonde-haired man with some facial hair on his right. The two men sitting with Gerard both looked up, staring at Frank.
