After The Break Up

Chapter 13

Gerard's P.O.V

I watched as Frank walked into my room and knelt down infront of me. Mikey left, closing the door behind him. I looked at my phone for the time. Then I stood up. I'm not ready to talk to Frank. He hurt me too much. I head to the door and he grabs my arm.

"Please, baby." He mutters.

"I have to go see my DAUGHTER. " I snapped as I pulled my arm free. I can't deal with this right now.

"GERARD?"

"DADDY?"

I rush out the door to see Lyn-z and Bandit stood at the open front door. Bandit was crying. I rush down the stairs.

"Daddy." Bandit said with a smile as she saw me. I can't believe how she's grown. Nine already. She was so beautiful. I grabbed hef in a hug as she threw herself into my arm's. "We thought you could be hurt."

"Are you okay?" Lyn-z asked.

I sighed as Bandit looked up at me. "I'm fine." That did not sound convincing.

"What happened to the house?"

"I...err...destroyed it."

Lyn-z and Bandit stared at me wide eyed. "Why?" They asked in unison.

"I...err...got upset."

Lyn-z sighed in understanding.

"Uncle Frank upset you?" Bandit asked.

Both me and Lyn-z looked at her in surprise.

"What?" She asked. "I'm nine, not stupid. I know you love uncle Frank. I've always known. I know uncle Frank loves you too."

I looked at Lyn-z. She shook her head. I looked back at Bandit.

"Did uncle Frank upset you, Daddy?" She said angrily. "Cos if he did I'll punch him."

I looked back at Lyn-z and we started laughing.

"You are one smart young lady." I said hugging Bandit as I stopped laughing. Then I looked at the demolition site that used to be my home. What have I done? I dropped down onto the bottom step. For fourteen years I have been in love with Frank. I got married to a woman I only loved as a friend. Had a child. Got a divorce. Found out Frank loved me too. Then I realise that he's jealous of my ex. So I walk away from him and destroy my home. I'm forty one and my life is fucked. The only good things, that aren't fucked, is Bandit and Mikey. I look up and see everyone looking at me with concern. I grab Bandit and Mikey as I stand up and pull them into a three way hug. They hug back.

"What's this for, bruv?" Mikey asked. "Not that I'm complaining."

"You two are the only uncomplicated things in my life." I answered. "I love you both so much." I feel tears running down my cheeks.

"Hey." Bob calls.

We all turn to look at him.

"Are you saying that I'm complicated?"

I laugh as I wipe my face. "As if I dare."

"Good." He frowned."Cos if you did, I'd have to sing my Gerard song to you."

"Oh god no." Ray jumped in. "For the love of god, do not let Bob sing."

Frank tried to sneak out quietly. Tears streaming down his face. Fuck. I can't do this to him. I kiss Bandits head. Then head out the front door after Frank. I catch him before he closes his car door. He looks up to see what stopped the door shutting. His eyes widen in surprise when he sees me. I lean into the car and cupped his face. "Where are you sneaking off to?"

He sighs. "I'm removing one of your complications. I'm leaving."

I shake my head as I crouch down so I'm eye level with him. "No, Frank." I protest. "I don't want you to go. Yes your a complications. WE are a complication. Our situation proves that. Both fell in love with each other when we first met. Both too dumb to tell the other. Both married someone else. Both have kids from that marriage. Both divorced. How much more complicated can we get?" I sighed. "But regardless of what I've said. I can't do this anymore. I can't kid myself. I can't push you away. Even when you get jealous." I lean in and kiss him briefly. "I love you, Frank. And I can't lose you again." I said against his lips.

He pulls me onto his lap. "I love you, too." He kisses me.

"Get a room, Daddy." Bandit shouts from the doorway. We pull apart, laugh
