Your gonna miss something big then... O.O
Chapter 161
Gerard lay in bed that night, he could hear Frankly breathing lightly beside him. A clear sign he was asleep. Gerards mind was racing, tomorrow was his birthday, tomorrow he would be 19. He told everyone he was calm and everything. But inside, he was bricking it. He didn’t know what would happened. He had been told every vampires 19th had been different, but no-one ever said how. No-one ever spoke of it. It had scared Gerard. He just hoped he would have time to enjoy his birthday. He knew his friends were planning something but they had been very good at hiding it.
On the other hand, Gerard was also shiitting himself because in less than a week was Frankies due date. The baby would be here soon. He had no idea how to take care of a baby, he hadnt really been around them. Only now and again when a family member had a baby and they came to visit, but it had been years since he last held a baby, he just hoped Frankie had more experience or they’d both be in trouble. Sure their parents, well mainly his mom, had said if they needed anything or needed to know anything, she was just a phonecall away. But they couldn’t keep phoning her. It just wasn’t fair. They would have to learn themselves, it couldn’t be that hard could it?
Gerard sighed and got out of bed, carefully not to wake his sleeping finacee. That was another thing that was bothering him. The wedding. They had to save, they had to plan and everything. It was going to take forever. He was sure their friends would help out – especially the girls. But it still stressed him out so much.
He couldn’t believe all this was happening and he was only 19.
Gerard reached the roof and sat down, leaning his back against the chimney. He loved the view from here. They had chosen a house on a hill and you could see the whole of New Jersey from it. Gerard saw the lights flickering across the state and smiled. He loved being out here. It gave him the space to think. It was so relaxing, just sitting there listening to the sounds of the night. He loved it so much.
He put his head back and looked up into the night sky. That was the most relaxing of all. He loved just sitting there watching the sky. Thinking about anything and everything. He always wondered what was out there, beyond the stars and the moon. It was amazing to know there was so much out there not yet discovered.
The stars made him smile, no matter where you were in the world you could always see them. Knowing that the person you loved the most could see them too. That what made him feel close to people when he was away on holidays and everything. Knowing they saw that too made you feel like you had this amazing connection with them.
His mind went back to his own life. Sometimes he thought he was too young for all this. Too young to be a father, too young to be engaged. But to be honest he couldn’t be happier. He loved his friends so much. They had always been there for him no matter what. Then there was Frank, Gerard loved him so much it was unbelievable, Gerard couldn’t imagine life without Frank, he couldn’t imagine life before Frank. Franks was the reason he woke up in the morning. Frank was the reason he was living. The meer throughout of Frank made a smile spread across Gerards face. He was truly the happiest he had ever been.
His gaze went back down to the streets of New Jersey. He loved watching people. He loved thinking about them. Complete strangers. He think about them, think about their lives. Where were they going? Were they going to see someone? Were they in a relationship? Everyone has their own life, and sometimes you cant help but look at other people and imagine you had their life, if just for a day. Just to see what it would be like, living in someone else’s shoes.
But Gerard didn’t. He didn’t want to swap his life for anything. For the first time in a long time he was happy.
Gerard didn’t notice Frank climb onto the roof and sit next to him.
"What are you doing up here?" asked Frank.
Gerard turned his head to look at his boyfriend. He kissed him lightly on the cheek and snaked an arm around his waist.
"Just thinking" he replied.
