he turned to face me and asked, "why are you lying here with me?" i stopped to think, why was i lying on the ground with a total stranger? "i don't know, i guess i thought we both need comfort" the man grunted in response. "why are you here?" i asked him. "i could ask you the same thing" i let out a harsh laugh. "i come here to be alone" the man sighed. "if you come here to be alone, why are you staying with me?" i realised how vulnerable the man was, and i turned to him and said "i find you intriguing." "what's your name?" he asked. "frank." i turned on my side and extended my hand for him to shake, which he did. we lay there for a few minutes in silence, the few exceptions being the crickets chirping. "gerard." he mumbled. i turned over, facing him. "what was that?" "my name's gerard."

SLOW UPDATES SORRY GUYS ((((holy crAP this cover took me sooo long geesus)))) Gerard is quiet, reserved, closed off. But when he meets the black haired boy after the concert, he becomes intrigued. What happens when he gets to know the truth behind the brave boy he saw up onstage? Sometimes secrets are meant to be kept, but what do you do if you can't turn back? I thought I'd name each chapter after a song I thought fit the chapter, so hopefully by the end of this we'll have some sort of a playlist :)
