After The Break Up

Chapter 10

Gerard's P.O.V

Practice went a lot better. Frank had actually paid attention. Although he seemed to fidget more. I saw the lust in his eyes every time he looked at me. Ray did too. He whispered to me later. Frank was tuning his guitar. Bob was messing with the drums and Mikey was cleaning his guitar. Ray approached me at the table. I looked up from the tour list proposal I was writing

"Frank's being well behaved all of a sudden." He observed as he sat down in the chair across from me. "Although I didn't miss the obvious looks he kept giving you." He grinned. "Plus his figiting didn't hide his little..humm..problem. "

I could feel my face heat up as I groaned and put my head in my arms on the table.

Ray laughed. "You must have noticed. You had the same problem."

My head shot up. "RAY!" I shouted. All eyes turned to me as I stared, wide eyed at a laughing Ray.

"Man your face is priceless." He managed.

I opened my mouth, then closed it.

"What's up, bruv?" Mikey asked.

I looked from Mikey to Ray. Ray raised his eyebrows. I shook my head. "Don't you fucking dare, Ray Toro." I warned as he grinned. "Or I'll shave off your fro."

"What are you not supposed to say?" Bob asked.

I stared at Ray. He was still grinning. "You wouldn't shave my fro cos you know Christa would rip your nuts off and then you wouldn't....."

"I'm warning you, Toro." I stood up and shot daggers at him.

Frank's P.O.V

I watched Gerard standing over Ray with a deadly look in his eyes. What's he said to piss Gerard off? I'll have to pay attention. Gerard looks ready to snap. I put the guitar down and stand up, ready to pounce if need be.

Gerard's P.O.V

I stared at Ray. If he says it, I will hit him. I know he's my friend but he'll embarrass Frank. I'm not sure what Frank'll do. Knowing him, he'll skip practice till it dies down. I calm down slightly. No he wouldn't. I would though. Frank would just laugh it off. I'd avoid them all for awhile.

"Fuck you, Toro." I snap. I grab the proposal and walk out.

"Gerard." Frank shouts. He catches me just as I try to shut the car door, stopping me from shutting it.

"What's wrong, babe?" He asks, leaning in the car and cupping my face. "What did Ray say to upset you?"

I sigh. "Nothing." I rest my forehead on his and close my eyes. "I just took it out on him."

"Took what out on him?"

I sighed again and leaned my head against the headrest. Frank crouched down and rested his head on my shoulder. He grabbed my hand.

"Tell me, baby."

"Lyn-z is seeing someone."

Frank's P.O.V

My heart dropped. Does he still love her? Is that why he's so upset? I pulled away and stood up, looking down at him. He looked back up at me.

"Why would that bother you?" It felt wrong to get angry. But I couldn't help it. I was jealous. Crazy jealous. "You still fucking love her, don't you?"

Gerard opened his mouth then closed it again.

"So all the time you were fucking me, you were thinking of her." I snapped. "So what was I to you? A fucking distraction?" I ammediatly regretted what I said when Gerard's face showed pain. He shoved me back and slammed the car door. I tried to open it. "Gee, I'm sorry." I said as I tried pulling at the door. The engine started and Gerard gave me one more pained look, then shot the car forward. "GERARD." I shouted. I knew it was pointless. He was too far away.

"Frank?" Mikey put a hand on my shoulder. I turned round to see Mikey, Ray and Bob looking at me with concern.

"I fucked up." I muttered. "He's left me."

Gerard's P.O.V

I stopped outside a phone shop. Got out the car, entered the shop. Bought a phone and simcard. Put it together. Got back in the car. Drove home and sat on the sofa. All in a daze. How could Frank say that to me? I fucking love him and he knows I do. So why did he say that? What the fuck happened? I look down at my new iphone six. I text Mikey, Ray, Bob and Lyn-z to give them my new number. Not Frank. What he said really hurt me. Then I head into the kitchen to make a coffee.

Ten minutes later, I'm sat drinking my coffee and staring at the blank tv screen. Then a crappy message tone broke the silence. I looked at my phone.

Mikey gave me your number.. Frnkxxx

Thanks Mikey.

Leave me alone. G.

Please, baby. I'm sorry. I love you. Frnkxxx.

I'm not your baby. You fucking hurt me. G.

I know. I'm sorry. Please let me come see you. I need to explain. Frnkxxx.

I don't think that's a good idea right now. G.

Why? Wait is Lyn-z there? Frnk.

Are you fucking kidding me.

I knew you were fucking lying. Doesn't matter if she is or not. Your a fucking arsehole, Frank. Don't contact me again. We're done. G.

I dropped the phone on the coffee table. I leaned back on the sofa. Tears of anger ran down my face. I closed my eyes, suddenly exhausted. My phone kept signalling a message. But I just ignored it. After a few minutes, I fell to sleep.

I was woken by my phones rubbish ring tone. Looking at the screen I saw it was Ray calling me. So I answered.

Me: "What."

Ray: "Hey. Look I'm sorry for earlier. I was out of order. I wouldn't have said anything ya know."

Me: "I know. It's okay. I wasn't really mad at you."

Ray: "What's wrong? I'm here for you."

I sigh. At least he is.

Me: "It's Lyn-z."

Ray: "What's she done?"

Me: "She's seeing someone and the guy's been telling Bandit to call him Daddy. Bandit doesn't want to. She told me she doesn't like him. But Lyn-z thinks he's a saint. She thinks that Bandit won't call him Daddy because I forbade her to. She thinks Bandit likes him. But she's scared of telling Lyn-z the truth incase she gets upset with her."

Ray: "Fuck, man. Does Frank know about all this?"

Me: "Frank thinks I'm jealous. He thinks I'm in love with Lyn-z."

Ray: "You should talk to him."

Me: "Not a fucking chance. He hurt me. No way am I leaving myself open for more pain. I'm done."

Ray: "But you love him."

Me: "I'll just have to get over it."

Ray: "But Frank loves you."

I scoff at that.

Me: "If he did, he wouldn't have said any of that."

Ray: "He does love you. Look he's here with me now. I'll put him on."

Me: "So you fucking called me to trick me into talking to that ..."

Frank: "I'm sorry, baby. I was a idiot..."

Me: "Fuck off, Frank. Just leave me alone."

I hang up. I'm am so pissed off. Fucking Ray just had to get involved. First Mikey gives him my number, then Ray sides with him. No doubt Bob will be with him too. So I'm on my own. Great.
