Hello again my lovelies! I never thought I'd be writing back this early, but the second chapter did well and I felt it would be cruel to leave you without the third chapter ;) Anyways as I said I won't be around for next week, so I will probably resume writing next Saturday. So until then, enjoy :)

He had moved close, so close that I could feel his warm his breath on my own mouth.
And he was getting closer I felt our noses push together, and knew he was only a few millimetres away; If that. I was about to lean in myself and close the gap when I hear the sound students either dread or love to hear: the bell. Informing us we had to make our way to the last lesson. I let out a soft groan and hear Gerard make the same noise as we slowly come apart and make our way towards the class.
We arrived as everyone was getting in so we were on time, although I just wanted to be able to talk to Gerard like we did yesterday but the awkward silence of the scenario that had near happened was wedged between us like the Great Wall of China.
"You've got to say something!" I hear Taela squeal, 'ah, she's in front of me this time. It would bug me how she could just instantly change where she was'
I gave a slightly irritated frown as she never seemed to be able to leave anything be with me these days, which in return got Taela to roll her eyes at me and simply state "The only reason there is tension between you two is because Gerard doesn't know how you feel about him going to kiss you. It's not like you didn't stay statue still the entire time he was advancing up to you, and he obviously never heard your groan or didn't know how to interpret it." The look of shock on my face must have been heavily apparent as Taela had rarely given me such a long lecture before, she just didn't work like that.
She finished with "Don't look so shocked Frank, I've been around enough of your mortal lifetimes to know how you all function. Not to mention I don't want you to mess this one up, I do care about you Frank.."
'I know Taela, I know' Now, to make sure Taela's (and my own) fears don't come true I decided to make the first move. "Gee, about earlier.."
"No, I'm sorry, it was a mistake" He said still barely able to look at me.
Using Taela's frantic head shakes as encouragement I blurt out "No Gee, it wasn't a mistake" I see him look me in the eye so I continue "I do like you Gee, I know it's only been a day, but I just feel deep down that I have to be with you, if I'd never believed in soul mates before, I would now"
The look of shock and happiness on his face was apparent "Urr, I urrrm, arggh errr.." He begins to babble obviously at a complete loss for words and although it was adorable to watch I leant in and pushed my lips onto his.

I could not believe that Frank had just started kissing me! I take a couple of seconds to react as I'm still in shock that he actually liked me back, as soon as the initial shock fades I begin kissing him back. It was pure heaven, he tasted of cigarettes which would bother most people but being hopelessly hooked on them I found it enjoyable. Things were going so enjoyably well until..
"FRANK IERO, GERARD WAY! WHAT IN GOD'S NAME ARE YOU TWO DOING?" The teacher practically yelled from across the room, causing the few students who hadn't realised what we were doing to notice it. Whoops. 'Note to self: be more careful where and when to get lost in a kiss'
I felt my cheeks reddening and saw Franks go cherry red as well, "Fags" I hear a few people muttering unfortunately the teacher doesn't seem to be doing much to stop them.
"Haven't you lot heard yet? Homophobia's gay" Frank coolly announces to the class, which thankfully most people nod in agreement, though the jocks and other general twats keep silent and angered.
After a few seconds more seconds of pure silence the teacher seems to re-find her bearings and continues with the register. "Thanks" I say to Frankie.
Causing him to frown and question "What for Gee, all I did was stand up for us."
I chuckled with the reply of "Not just that silly, all though it was quite attractively brave. I was thanking you for that kiss, it was the sweetest 'shut up' ever"
He giggles and retorts "I didn't exactly make things easy, I was in shock when you first went to kiss me and before I could respond the bell went."
"So, what happens now?"
"Well.." He begins "I guess we could be boyfriends, if you don't think our kiss was a mistake that is" He adds on swiftly 'Does he think it's a mistake? No he was just nervous, otherwise he wouldn't have said the first part'
"Yeah, I'd like that, to be boyfriends that is" I reply blushing the whole time.
"Good, I'd like that too" he smiles.
We made a start on the work when we realised the teacher had begun to glare at us again, and after a few minutes of silence he asks "Hey Gee, I know it's a little last minute but would you like to come round mine after this? I could do with coming out the closet to Mom and I could really do with some emotional support".
The nerves on his face were heavily apparent, it made me wonder quite what his Mom would be like. 'My little Frankie hasn't mentioned a dad yet either, so if it is just his Mom I hope she takes it well" I think whilst responding "sure, I'd love to go round yours hun, you are my boyfriend after all" I chuckle whilst blushing, I then add "but more seriously it would be nice to see your Mom" The look on his face however told me I probably wouldn't though.
I texted my own Mom and got the A-ok from her to spend time with Frank, I haven't told her yet but I'd probably tell her tomorrow with Frank, it will be a Friday too so he could even stay over.
We spent the rest of the lesson impatiently waiting for the bell that would release us from this hell hole, whilst we exchanged information about ourselves: such as our favourite holiday - Halloween, also his birthday. Eventually though the lesson soon ended and he states "Well, we best get moving it's not a long walk but we should go before the teachers decide to give me a detention after all" he finishes that with the most adorable wink ever.
"Yeah, we don't need to worry about a long walk though, my car came back last night so I will drive us back" I tell him
"Cool! Do you have any good CD's or will we be dependent on the radio?"
"I have quite a few good ones actually!"
FPOV
We walk to his car only getting a little stick from people, although I knew it would get worse as the news was still going around, but what did worry me was how on edge Taela was, she had barely said a thing, she was probably just worried, although that's what I hoped it just was. You see ever since I had started meeting Taela she had a knack at knowing when something bad was going to happen and she has never been good at hiding it. Which made me then think 'When do I tell Gee about Taela? And how will I go about telling him all the skeletons from my closet?' I was so deep in thought I hadn't heard any of Gee's questions about where he was driving me to and it was only until I hear his phone go off to say he has a text that I snap out of my mini trance.
"Gee I think you got a text" I say sheepishly seeing how he is looking at me, more than a bit ticked off
"Oh so now you decide to respond, I've been trying to get your attention for a good few minutes Frank!"
"Sorry Gee.. where did you get the Starbucks from?"
He sighs rather loudly with "I tried offering to get you one but I don't know what you like to drink and seeming as I couldn't get any directions out of you I thought I may as well do something productive"
I again apologise for zoning out on him and he does seem to be a lot less ticked, which I can't honestly blame him for. I did zone out on him. I checked his text for him whilst he drove us back to mine.
'Gee, where the hell are you? You said we'd meet up here ages ago! Mikey'
Ok.. so that one kinda took my heart out of my chest and smashed it to pieces with a sledge hammer "Gee, who's this Mikey you'd promised to meet up with?"
He responds by bursting out laughing, 'Wow. Should I be glad I've found out he's this much of a dick now?'
But my glare only seems to make him laugh harder until he finally is able to spit out: "Dude, don't get so jealous, Mikey is my brother!"
My sudden lack of bravado just leaves me wanting to curl up and die from the sheer scale of the embarrassment I have just gone and put myself through "Urrrgh.. urrmmm... I.. I.. have no idea what to say" I start nervously giggling "sorry, I guess"
"hahaha, no problem man, it was cute seeing you get so jealous anyway"
"So what did he mean by 'meeting up'" I question
"Oh crap! Of course, in all the initial excitement with you and then the driving and jealousy I clear forgot I had promised a ride home from school, I will text him when we arrive at yours"
A few seconds after he said that we were on my road and I told him it was the second house on the left, he pulls up and we head out to confront my mother.
"It's probably time I told you about Mom, she never had support from my Father, he basically got her pregnant and left, some days she can be ok and supportive, but usually she's depressed or drunk, sometimes both."
"Oh God Frankie" He states whilst enveloping me in a hug "I had no idea how much you have been through" he continued whilst rubbing my back.
I let a couple of tears leave my eyes and responded with "It's ok Gee, I've grown used to her mood swings, yes it has been difficult, she hates the fact I look like my Dad, so that's never made things easy."
After I manage to calm myself down I walk inside and shout "Mum! I'm home"
"I'm in the kitchen dear.." I hear the sighed response 'Hmm she's depressed, that won't be good' I hear Taela, 'glad to know I can trust her to state the obvious!'
Gee looks at me supportively and we both go through to the kitchen, she looked a complete wreck, her face was still tear stained and the makeup had run a riot over her, she hadn't looked like she'd showered in awhile, and worst of all, reeked of alcohol. This was confirmed when I saw the whiskey bottle she limply held in her left hand.
"Oh... you have a friend"
"Yes Mom, but I need to talk to you about him"
GPOV
I hear his Mom spitefully respond with: "Whatever it is, I don't care. Can't you see I just want to be alone?" At that point in time I honestly could have yelled at her in frustration so I decided to just clench my teeth and grip onto my Frankie's hand, which his Mom still hadn't noticed due to the fact she's been too busy just staring forwards instead of acknowledging us.
"Look Mom, this is important" Frankie persists, causing me to admire him every bit more "Gerard isn't just any ordinary friend, he's my boyfriend Mom!" He practically shouted the last part at her in the chagrined mood she has put my Frankie in.
The silence and tension was just boiling up becoming greater and greater by the moment, all until Frank broke free of my grasp and dashed away from me. Up to what I'm assuming is his bedroom.
FPOV
I just had to get away from her... How could she be so cold right then, I have done nothing but support her unless it involved changing me, (yeah, she never approved that I was emo)
I heard Gerard come tentatively up the staircase and I called out to him so he would definitely know where I was. As he comes up into the room he states "that could have gone better" with a slight chuckle in order to try and break the tense atmosphere that my Mother had created.
I gave him a week smile and he came over and kissed my forehead, "Ok Frankie well if you're sure that you're fine I'm gonna text Mikey. Poor kid's probably shat bricks by now wondering where I am."
I had to laugh at that, in the whole pull of the moment we had kinda forgot to text him, whoops.
As he's texting Mikey I hear loud music emanating from downstairs, probably my mum's room no doubt. When she got depressed and drunk she would turn on loud music if I wasn't there for her to hurl abuse at. I knew I would have to go down and tell her to turn it off at some point as the neighbours always complained, and it wouldn't be long before we got a fine.
I wait for Gee to finish his text and as he's decided that I'm not okay, which in all honesty to myself, I wasn't at that point in time. I wait for him to finish consoling me. I then go downstairs and take a deep breath before going into the first door on the right. Yet instead of telling Mom to turn off the music, all I could do was scream...
So then my wonderful readers how was that chapter then? I tried to do you a good one as I will not be able to update for a week as like I've said I'm away. However I promise I will not forget it, ok? Keep on reviewing!
