    :shock: :shock: :shock: All I have is one question: Whyyyyyy?????

    It makes no sense. If Frank was The best Gerard ever had, why leave? It's just ahhh.....

    Anyways, this was really good. I like the whole string of one-shots idea. I already read the first two, but I've decided to leave a comment for each story instead of putting them all on the third one when I finish. It just made more sense to me to do it this way... plus you get more commments!

    Firstly, This was really depressing. I'll just put that out there, plain and simple. This whole one-shot was really depressing [ Cry ] I've read my share of depressing one-shots and this is up there.

    The whole make-out almost sex scene was what really got to me. It was so genuine, but at the same time it felt unwanted. At least on Gerard's part. For me, it felt like Gerard wanted Frank, but at the same time he didn't. It almost seemed as if in Gerard's mind things with Frank could never get better, so he figured why stay? I'm not sure if that came out right... but yeah. I hope you get my point.

    No I hope things don't stay that way [from what I read in part 2 things aren't any better... if anything they're worse.]

    I loved this though. :arms:

    damn i knew there was a reason i dont read one-shots,
    coz they leave me wanting more! lol
    that was a really good one shot though,
    i love how it goes from being franks thoughts to actually dialogue.
    and that for part of it you are wondering who its is thats thinking.
    you are a really good writer

    wow. just wow.

    i don't even know what to say...seriously.

    i mean i love the song, i don't really like vertical horizon's version because gary allen's versin is what i first heard and he did that song for his wife who had committed suicide i do believe a year previous before he released that song....and his voice shows just so much raw emotion when he sings it....

    i totally know how frank feels too....my ex and i, well, our break-up was epic and left me dead pretty much....the first time he saw me after we had broken up and went our own ways, the look on his face was of nothing but pure regret and i hold the title of his first love...plus i know i'm the best he'll ever have...his new girlfriend can't break him down the way i can, she just doesn't get him the way i do....if he truly means how he says he feels about her they'd be married by now, living together by now but he's still at home, hiding behind his work. he wouldn't come by my place of employment--a place he hadn't been since before i left for college and now that i'm home, he shows up occasionally.

    but i'll end this novel of a comment. you really are a brilliant writer. i love your stories, the way you write sometimes it's, it's just full of so much talent.

    Ah, Lizzy! I read the new chapter of You've Got This Silly Way and, before I comment, I decide to pop over and check this one out. How do you do it?! How do you take me from grinning like a mad woman at the fluff to nearly despondent with suffering in a matter of minutes?!

    Poor Frankie. Cry This is so tragic for him. He and Gerard obviously share something, but just as obviously it's not enough for Gerard. It would be so easy if Gerard was just a bastard who was cruel and used Frank, but he's not. He's someone looking for something that Frank couldn't give him. What that something is -- who knows? Frank doesn't and somehow I don't think Gerard does either. Instead of hating Gerard for hurting Frank, I admire him for having the courage to keep looking rather than settling for a relationship that doesn't fulfill his needs. Staying with someone because they love you isn't fair to them. They deserve someone who can truly love them back -- with their whole heart -- not someone who's still seeking.

    And God damn it, he was right. I now knew what my once good friend Bert McCracken meant. He tried to warn me, as a friend. I thought it was just him being fucking jealous and bitter after you left him for me.

    Oh Frankie, if he cheat with you, he'll cheat on you. You've just learned the first rule of dating a cheater.

    She could give you everything that I couldn't. Well, everything except for love. I was thoroughly convinced that she, nor anyone could even possibly come close to loving you the way I do.

    But it isn't about you loving him or her loving him -- it's about how he feels. Frankie, you need... you deserve someone who'll love you back! When you find that person, when you're in that relationship, you'll understand.

    You were downright stunning, Gerard Way. What could you possibly have been doing with me in the first place?

    Ah Frank, you can't love somebody else until you love yourself. Is this your problem? *sigh*

    You threw me down on the bed and we rolled around together, tangled in a sinful mess of kisses and lust for each other.

    Lust. Not love. You said it yourself.

    You knew every single one of my weaknesses, Gerard.
    You are my fucking weakness.


    That's the line that got me. I know, only too well, what that feels like. That's the kind of person that can break you. And it hurts so fucking bad.

    When I broke away, you looked at me with stars in your eyes. For a second, they shined so brightly. But only for a second.

    Because he loves you. But not enough. *shakes head sadly* Not enough, don't you see? And if it's not enough for him, then it's not enough for you, either. You deserve more. Everyone deserves to love and be loved whole-heartedly.

    "You know how I feel about her, Frank... This is it for me and you.

    It's not about not loving Frank. It's about loving her. It's about making a choice.

    You always shivered under my touch. I knew that I was your weakness, too.

    And maybe, just maybe, he needs a love that doesn't make him weak. Maybe he found a love that makes him strong.

    "Tell me, Gerard. What am I to you?" I pleaded with you, begging you with my eyes to stay.

    "You're only the best I ever had..."

    And with that, you were gone. Out of my bed, out of my hotel room, and out of my life.


    What a powerful ending, Lizzy. Unbelievable. The best, but not enough. I hate it. I love it. It's tragic, but it's beautiful.

    Wow. If I attempted to write anything at 4 AM, it wouldn't make sense, let alone be as great as this. I wish I had a better word than 'great' but for now that's all I got.

    Those boys...are stupid. Mostly Gerard, actually. He needs Frank and he obviously has feelings for him! I hate situations where people are too damn stubborn to go with what would actually make them happy. I was so pissed off at him, I actually yelled 'DAMN!' after I finished reading.

    Anyways, it was a great story.

    The absolutely brilliance of Lizzy.

    After the above comments, anything I say will sound completely inadequate.
    So. I'll just keep it simple.

    FRIGGIN' AMAZING. =]]

    Lizzy, you deserve a proper review. That was fucking gorgeous, it was amazing. Your writing is incredible.

    She could give you children. I know how badly you wanted a son of your own... you'd be such a wonderful daddy, Gee.

    That made me smile. That even through what I'd read before, the fact that he KNEW that Gerard was going to leave him, he was still complimenting him, still showing that he loved him. That was sweet, even in the situation.

    I was thoroughly convinced that she, nor anyone could even possibly come close to loving you the way I do.

    Wow. That line made me... I don't know. It really made me understand that Frank really loved Gerard. It was beauitful. How he knows for sure that he loves Gerard most.

    The second everything started going right for us, she showed up and took you away from me. She fucking ruined everything.

    It's as if, it was bad luck really. The way he's putting it. That, they really were soulmates. But luck wasn't on their side. When everything started going right. And also from the rest of the story, it seems they really were meant to be together.

    You were downright stunning, Gerard Way. What could you possibly have been doing with me in the first place?

    He's so insecure about their relationship. Maybe he knows what's going to happen. Kind of makes me think he jinxed himself. That maybe if he was more sure about it, it wouldn't have ended the way it did.

    I'm not even going to mention anything about the heatedness. Lol. I wold have to put the whole thing here. =D But that really added to the story, honestly, the way you made it so passionate. So much love was in it, everything they did, they did with love. I love how you put that across. Everything they did and said seemed to have a kind of hidden message.

    You are my fucking weakness.

    Love, that line, was pure, freaking love.

    This was killing you just as much as it was killing me, and you know it.
    ...
    Your voice was so choked up, I knew you were either lying straight through your teeth, or you were seriously reconsidering why you were coming here to break things off of me. I know you want this just as fucking bad as I do...


    DUH? Isn't it obvious? You guys just nearly had sex for goodness sake! But if it was, why was he leaving you? It couldn't be only for the fact taht he wanted a kid. There are ways you know... we are in the 21C.

    ...you looked at me with stars in your eyes. For a second, they shined so brightly. But only for a second.

    Frank did wonders to him. Frank knew that he made Gerard feel like no other. He knew what a great couple they were. And he knew that Gerard was going to be wasting his life away and throwing away everything they had.

    "How could you possibly want to let this go, Gerard? This feels so right, you and me. We're so fucking perfect! I know you feel it too, don't fucking lie to me and say you don't!"

    Talk about forceful. XD But, he really does feel passion for him. It's sweet, honestly, I can't believe Gerard would do that. He could see how much Frank loves him, and it's pretty obvious that he loves Frank back. Kind of makes me hate Gerard.

    The mere mention of you marrying her was enough to make the breath catch in my lungs; I felt like I was on the verge of hyperventelating.

    I would be too. He had no right to mention that. If he thought it was going to make him back off, it worked. But you could tell that broke Franks heart right in two. He had no right.

    I got up from the bed, still completely naked, and walked over to you. I reached for your arm, and I felt you shiver. You always shivered under my touch. I knew that I was your weakness, too.

    That just changes you view on everything. I bet that girl didn't make Gerard shiver like that. Frank was a one a million to Gerard. They were perfect for each other, soulmates. It's all a case of bad luck and wrong timing. Well in my eyes anyway. Gerard made a bad choice.

    "Tell me, Gerard. What am I to you?" I pleaded with you, begging you with my eyes to stay.

    "You're only the best I ever had..."

    And with that, you were gone. Out of my bed, out of my hotel room, and out of my life.


    That was the best bit. That was fucking amazing. It made my heart just, freaking lurch. Kind of changes things, doesn't it? Gerard KNOWS that Frank would be the best he ever had, love-wise. But he wanted other things too. And, at the time, or maybe even overall, those wants overpowered his love for Frank. And that just made him... give everything away.

    Lizzy, just know that this is the longest comment I've ever left anyone. So be proud! You did an AMAZING job.
