When Life Made Sense Chapter 18: Freshman Year Day 63.
Gerard's P.O.V.
Today is Frank's 15th birthday. I was going to do something special for him. I sat on the roof and watched the sunrise alone. I could see my breath and pulled my jacket closer to my body. I looked like a little emo kid. It was cold out here, but the sunrise was worth it. It was very cold here. I saw snow flakes slowly drifting down. I heard the ladder begin to move. Frank appeared and sat down next to me. "Happy birthday Frank." I smiled and kissed his warm cheek. He blushed and smiled. He laid his head on my shoulder. "Thanks Gee." He snuggled closer and we watched the sunrise. His skin smelled like coffee and I knew he had made some. Frank can't function without coffee. I pulled out a small box that was in my pocket. It was Frankie's birthday present. I got him a new lip ring since his hand been lost. It was small and silver. I also got him other colors and they were all in this small box. "Here." I handed him the little blue box. It had a white ribbon wrapped around it. "Should I open it now?" He said smiling like a little kid. "Go ahead." I smiled and he opened it. "DUDE! Thanks man! This is awesome!" He took out the blue lip ring and soon inserted it in his skin. He looked so cute. "Thanks." He pulled me close and kissed me. "Happy birthday Frank." He smiled his cute smiled and we got down off the roof. We walked inside and I grabbed my backpack and he grabbed his. I haven't told him that we are going to the meadow yet. He began walking to the school and I pulled him to the meadow. A smile grew on my face as shock grew on his. "Come on don't fight me." I winked at him and pulled him to the meadow. "We're gonna be late!" He let out a small laugh. "We're not going at all! It's your birthday!" We got to the meadow and sat in the cold grass. "You couldn't pick a better place. Maybe a WARMER place?" He shivered a little. I smiled and hugged him tightly. "Better?" I smiled and giggled a little. "Much" His face blushed and he smiled widely.
Frank's P.O.V.
I stood in the meadow being hugged tightly by a warm Gerard. He smelled so nice. His warmth filled my body. I released him and took both his hands in mine. "I love you" I smiled and He kissed me softly. "I love you" He repeated. I pulled him out of the hidden place. He ran back got his bag and we walked to the coffee house. We warmed ourselves up and I decided to tell him about my job. "Hey Gee. I won't be able to hang out after school. I got a job at a comic book and music store." He smiled widely "That's great!" He hugged me tightly and we walked out of the coffee house. We walked around the neighborhood. There's really nothing to do here in the day tme, but we manage. We walked to a nice quiet spot in the park and sat there for a moment. Both of us wrapped up in our thoughts. We stand for a moment just holding eachother close. "Frankie lets go home. Your freezing!" He smiled and picked me up wedding style. "You don't have to carry me!" I giggled and blushed. "I want to" He carried me all the way home and when we got there the house was surrounded by cops and ambulances. Gerard put me down and we ran to the house. The officers stopped us and we watched them pull Gerard's dad out on a stretcher. "DAD!" Gerard screamed. Tears filled his eyes. "Gerard! GERARD!" I yelled trying to calm him down. He kept trying to break through the officers and finally he broke through. He ran to his dad and saw that he was dead. Gerard fell to his knees and cried loudly. I ran to him and kneeled next to him. He swung his arm back and hit me in the face causing me to fall back. "NO!" He ran inside the house. I raised me hand to my nose and pulled it away. "Fucker gave me a nose bleed." I stood and ran inside. The living room was painted red and Gerard's mom was sobbing on the floor. "Where'd he go?" I said gently she pointed to the stairs. I ran to his room and found him lying in the floor. "Gerard please calm down!" He hit me again and this time I pinned him to the floor. "Gerard stop! STOP!" I screamed and he kept trying to fight me. I punched him one good time in the eye and he rested. "Frank my dad is dead! DEAD!" He screamed at me. I still had him pinned to the floor. "Gerard my mom is dead! DEAD! I know what your going through dude! Just please calm the fuck down." He nodded and I sat up. He positioned himself on his elbow. I was still sitting on his legs. His tear stained face had a shocked expression. "Did I do that?" He reached his hand to my face but I grabbed it and pulled it away. "Yeah, but It's nothing." I smiled. I wiped away his tears and kissed his cheek. The kiss left blood on his face and I wiped it off and giggled. Tears still filled his eyes. I cradled him and let him cry himself to sleep. Him and his dad weren't all that close, but I know it still hurts inside.
