Hard To Love

Well, Shit.

Y/N POV

I woke up next to Gee, our limbs tangled together. I smiled as I took in his sleeping form. I carefully tried to release myself from his hold, but failed as he woke up, pulling me closer.

"Don't leave yet, you're warm." He mumbled out sleepily.

"I'm just gonna go to the bathroom. Go back to sleep, love." I whispered, kissing his cheek. He grumbled, but did as I said.

I quietly jumped down from my bunk, trying not to wake the other boys up. Unfortunately, Frank was already awake.

"So I see you had fun last night." He said, smirking.

"What do you mean?" He didn't answer, just pointed at my neck. I ran to the bathroom and looked into the mirror, seeing numerous hickies littering my neck. "Shit!"

Hearing Frank laugh, I angrily stomped back out to the main area. I walked over to him and playfully smacked him.

"Hey, rude!" He chuckled. "Let's go pick up coffee and donuts before the boys wake up."

I reluctantly agreed and threw a hoodie on, hopefully covering the marks.

We walked down the street to the nearest coffee shop, going unnoticed so far. As we got closer to the shop, we heard what sounded like the clicking of cameras. I sighed and turned around, seeing that the paparazzi were indeed following us.

Frank grabbed my hand and dragged me away, trying to escape them. He took us down a back alley, where we lost them, thankfully.

"I fucking hate paparazzi. I just want my God damn coffee." Frank said angrily. I put my hand on his arm, trying to calm him down.

"Let's just go get it and I'll tell them to fuck off, okay?" I grabbed his arm and pulled him along.

We finally managed to get to the coffee shop unnoticed, as well as make it back to the bus. They must've gotten what they wanted.

We entered the bus, Frank holding the coffee while I held a box full of various donuts.

"Wake up you lazy fuckers!" I yelled. I heard from coming from the back, which made me chuckle.

"I'm only up because I smell coffee." A very sleepy Gerard said as he walked into the room. He grabbed a coffee and plopped down on the couch.

Eventually the other two boys came out as well. We all conversed over breakfast, talking about future album ideas or other tour ideas. It felt nice to have an off day, especially with everyone in good moods. It was peaceful, serene.

Then it happened.

I was scrolling through my Twitter page when I saw an article pop up, with Frank and I on the front of it.

"Motherfucker!" I screamed, scaring the four men scattered around me.

"What is it?" Gee asked, sliding over towards me. I threw my phone in his lap and put my head and my hands.

Gerard POV

I picked her phone up from my lap and looked at the screen. My face contorted in anger and confusion.

"Well, what is it?" Ray asked. I began to read the article to them.

"Are Frank Iero and Y/N Y/L/N Dating? Today the two were spotted holding hands as they walked to a local café in town. Y/L/N had visible hickies on her neck as well. Is our ship sailing? It looks like it." I spit out.

"We weren't holding hands though! That picture was taken when he grabbed my hand to get away from those pieces of shit!" Y/N cried out.

"Baby, I believe you, it's okay." I comforted her.

"So what the hell do we do then?" Frank asked, visibly irritated.

"I might have an idea," Mikey spoke up. We all looked over to him, waiting for him to tell us, "Okay, so, you guys could finally just come out as a fucking couple already." He said, pointing to me and Y/N.

"So then everyone thinks I'm a slut? No thanks. I love you, Mikes, but no." Y/N replied sassily.

"I may have a plan, but it would have to wait until our next show and I don't know when that will be." Ray said.

"Surprise show?" I asked.

"I mean, I like the sound of that, but where, when, and how soon? It usually takes a while to plan everything." Mikey said.

"I know a place. There's this really old venue I used to sing at when I was younger and my friend is dating the owner of it!" Y/N replied excitedly.

"Call them as soon as possible. Mikey and Frank, sort out what we'll play. Ray, pitch me your idea." I stood up and grabbed some paper and pens.

"Well..."

A/N

Yeah, sorry this was shit. I'll try better on the next chapter.
