Chapter 23
"Dude, don’t beat yourself up over it, he’s just in denial" said Tom walking over to where Frank was standing. "Anyway where going out for some food, fancy joining us?"
Frank was surprised he was being invited out with them, when they fed of all times.
"No its okay, I think ill head home" Frank said heading towards the door "ill see you tomorrow probably" Tom waved his friend bye and looked over to the two couples making out. Looks like he was going for a feed by himself.
Frank entered his house, he was scared his dad was back as he crept into the kitchen trying not to make a noise, he spotted Jo sitting on a stool eating some cookies.
"Don’t worry Frank, Hes not in" she said smiling "cookie?"
"No thanks" he said taking a seat next to her.
"What’s up bro? You seem down?" she asked placing the cookies on the side. "you know you can tell me anything"
Frank sighed. He knew he could tell his sister anything, she was his rock.
"Well Theres this boy, he lives across the street and well I like him, he amazing and sweet and really caring" Frank smiled at the thought "and well the thing is hes convinced hes straight and hes ****ed so many girls this week, but our friend Tom thinks hes just in denial. But you see that’s not it, me and dad were fighting again, and Gerard came in without knocking and dragged dad out the house and took me to his house and helped me clean up and stuff but then I did something really stupid Jo. I kissed him. But the thing is he didn’t pull away, he kissed back. And it was getting really intimate when Tom walked in on us and Gerard totally denied it and when Tom told the others Gerard said it didn’t mean anything and then a girl came to their house and right now he is in his bedroom ****ing her brains out."
Frank didn’t notice at this point, tears were dripping down his face and his sister put a comforting arm around him.
"But the kiss, I know it meant something, he must of felt it too" Frank continued, wiping his face with his sleeve. "There was a spark. Ive never felt anything like it before"
and with that Frank broke down in sobs, crying in his sisters arms.
Little did Frank know that Gerard was banging the new girl into his mattress, he had made her leave. He couldn’t go through with it, not with that kiss. He had felt something. Something he had never felt before. It gave him butterflies. Frank was addictive and he wanted more. But he was straight. He wiped his face on his duvet as he wept silently. He was so confused, he needed help.
He leaned over his bedside table and reached down to grab a bottle containing clear liquid, he took the cap off and drank half the bottle in 1 go. Then he lay there, crying.
Tom was sitting on his own in the living room before heading towards the door "Everyone is ****ing getting action today, I might aswell too"
