Gerard's POV
It was the middle of the night. Everyone was sleeping in their beds, but me. I got hungry so I went to the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal. That's when I heard someone bang on the door. I jumped. Who the fuck would be at the door at two in the morning? I looked through the peephole, too frightened to open the door. I saw Frankie. He was completely naked. I opened the door. He was white as a ghost and shivering. There were bruises and cuts all over his body. "Oh Frankie! What happened!" I pulled him into my arms for warmth. He started balling his eyes out.
"They beat me, Gee. Jack and his friends. There were too many of them. I didn't know where to go. I dint want to go back home. I didn't know what my parents would say,"
I grabbed him a blanket and wrapped it around him. "Why were you out in the middle of the night?"
"I went to walk the dog. He kept bugging me,"
I sat him down on the couch. "You can stay here for the night," he nodded.
"Gerard? What's going on?" I heard my mom from the stairs. She ran downstairs. "Oh Frank. Darling what happened?" I gave my mom a look. She knew. She sat down beside him. "It's going to be alright. Do you want anything? Warm milk?" he shook his head. "Okay. If you need me I will be upstairs,"
"Thanks mom," then she went upstairs, like she said.
I wrapped my arms around Frankie, comforting him. He was still shivering but he was better. We fell asleep like that, not another sound.
I woke up in the morning to hear ringing. It was the phone. I jumped up to answer it. "Hello?"
"Gerard! Where's Frank!"
"It's alright, Mrs. Iero. He's here. He was walking the dog last night. Some guys at our school beat him up. He came over to my house last night. He has a few scratches but he's alright,"
"Oh thank god! I was worried sick when I didn't find him in his bed this morning. Thank you, Gerard. Frank can really count on you."
"I would do anything for him,"
"How badly is he hurt?"
"Not bad. Only a few scratches and bruises he will be fine. He's still sleeping,"
"I'm glad I can trust you. He really loves you, you know. He can come home when he wants," I smiled, happy she felt this way. Good thing it was a Saturday.
Frank's POV
I woke up and I could hardly move. Everything hurt. Gee was standing in the kitchen. "Are you alright, baby?" he asked.
"I need to call my mom,"
"Don't worry about it. Your mom already called. I told her everything. She said you can come home whenever you want,"
I smiled and said, "Thank you, Gee," He walked over and kissed me softly the lips. There wasn't much to talk about.
"I will always be here for you. No one will ever hurt you, as long as I'm here," I believed him. When I was with Gee, I felt safe. All that mattered was us, together. He held me in his arms, lightly kissing me.

Gerard's POV
Frankie and I have been together for almost four months now. We love each other more and more everyday. Not in a boring way, though. We have our fun.
As for Jack, to everybody's surprise, he was gay. He couldn't take it anymore; he had to let it out. A month later he attempted suicide, he couldn't accept himself. He didn't die, though. But after that, things only got worse; he got arrested for drug possession only weeks later. I felt bad for him, I really did.
