CHAPTER 8

Ray's POV

The time to see Gerard and Frank came around far too quickly. I knew that it was my fault for what had happened and I wouldn't blame them if they hated me, but I hoped that they didn't. Mikey and I got dressed and then walked over, climbing the stairs until we reached Frank and Gerard's apartment: Room 109. I inhaled deeply, and then knocked on the door. We heard footsteps from inside the room and Mikey gave me a reassuring look before the door opened.

There stood Frank, clearly not even dressed yet as his hair was messed up and he was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. It looked like he hadn't slept last night, and hadn't showered yet either. He smiled and came over to me, hugging me tightly. Yep, definitely hasn't showered yet.. I thought. We walked in and sat on the couch while Frank went to go and make us some coffee.

"Where's Gerard?" Mikey asked.

"He's out getting food, should be back soon" Frank said, and I relaxed a little. I wouldn't have to face him just yet. We sat and talked for a while and drank our coffees, and I explained to Frank where I had been last night. We then all watched Kerrang! for a bit, and then after about an hour, Gerard came home.

The unlocked door opened to reveal a very tired looking Gerard. His black hair was hanging over his face in messy clumps, his eyeliner was roughly framing his eyes and he was carrying several bags of shopping. He looked at us without saying a word before turning and taking all the bags to the kitchen, as Frank ran over to help him, and kissed him.

"Welcome home Darling" Frank said to Gerard. I wanted to giggle at the little pet name but I knew that it wouldn't be appropriate right now.

"Hey Frankie" Gerard smiled, and then looked to Mikey, and then to me. "Morning Mikey... Morning Ray" He said. Mikey nodded and I took this as my chance to speak to him.

"Morning Gerard" I said, smiling as normally as I possibly could. He half-smiled back at me, and then turned to the shopping. Awkward. Gerard and Frank began to put the shopping away while Mikey and I sat together in comfortable silence. Mikey was playing on his phone and I was just watching them, wondering what to do next. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket and pulled it out, seeing I had a text from Mikey. I glanced at him and he gestured to my phone with a look on his face that said, Read it you moron!. I looked down and read the text.

"Help him with the shopping or something! You need to get on his good side, and I know my brother. He hates work like putting the shopping away, so do it for him!"

I thought for a moment, I supposed that could work. I put my phone down on the table and stood up, walking over to Gerard and Frank. Frank saw me and realised what I was doing, and so stood out of the way so that I had room to help Gerard.

"Hey, let me get that for you" I said, leaning down and picking up a bag of sugar from inside one of the carrier bags. I began to lift it up and I heard Gerard shout next to me:

"No Ray, DON'T! IT'S-"

All of the sugar poured out of a hole in the side of the bag and into a heap on the floor. Gerard sighed, leaning against the counter, head in hands.

"There was only one bag of sugar left and it was ripped so it needed to stay on one side..." Gerard groaned. I blushed a deep shade of red.

"I'm so sorry Gerard, I didn't know" I said, ashamed.

"That's alright, it's just that I have none for my coffee now.." He moaned.

"Isn't there another store not that far from here? You could take my car?" Frank offered.

"I guess I'll have to, thanks Frankie" Gerard said, taking the keys from Frank's hand.

"I'll go with you, it's the least I can do" I said, and Gerard looked at me for a moment before nodding and going to get his coat. I went back to the table and picked up my phone and saw Mikey smile at me - a smile that said: This is your chance. Don't mess it up.

And I wouldn't mess it up. Gerard may be a sassy bitch at times, but there was no way he could stay mad at me. I would get him to forgive me.
