Gerard ran down the street to Frank's house as fast as he could and stopped at the front door to catch his breath. He pulled out the note and read it again, suddenly questioning everything he had said. He had always given and Frank would take, that was how it went. Frank kissed him and, as a result, pushed him away, but Gerard didn't want to go anywhere. He didn't know he could ever feel this way about Frank and he didn't think he would ever have felt like just walking away from it all, but now he did.
He pulled out his pencil and wrote 'Stay with me, please,' at the bottom of the note. Those four words could have meant a lot of different things and he wasn't sure what these particular ones meant, but he knew that all the meanings would have fit there. He folded the paper back up and slid it under the door, hoping Frank wasn't right near the door. After waiting for a moment, he hopped off the curb and hurried around the corner to his house.
