I don't know exactly which point you're talking in the AN and that's because i can see more than one. I'm not sure. (But since you said we're going to understand it soon, i'll trust you :D ).
I don't know what is worse, the cheating or the raping but I obviously understand why Gerard acted this way. You even made me like B.'s (don't want to spoil) introduction on this story.
Is it bad that I hope to see Frank suffering for a while, maybe going downhill or getting sick, etc??
Laughs bc when I got the email that this was updated my phone decided to duplicate the email 8 times and I was so confused aha But, I'm starting to understand frank a bit more which is good, update soon:)
Oh my God! So many different emotions... I'm absolutely heartbroken at how broken Gerard is. Yet I'm happy he's reached the point where he's standing up to Frank. I'm glad he didn't give in out of fear or self-pity/hatred or anything like that. I'm curious to see what happens next, especially if we'll be getting a better understanding of Frank.
I also still don't trust Frank, obviously. Just because he feels bad AGAIN doesn't make what he did ok. I hope Gerard isn't quick to forgive him after this. Hell, at this point, I don't even know if Frank deserves forgiveness at all! The next chapter will either add to that thought or diffuse it slightly. Can't wait to see which it will be! I'm so excited!
Gerard is breaking my heart. He's allowing Frank to use all his weaknesses against him and fall for everything he says, which is keeping him basically chained to Frank. And Frank, just... wow. There's a strong sense of dependency obviously that he covers with rage towards Gerard. Gerard's not the one that needs Frank as much as Frank needs Gerard, and I think that's where Frank's violent nature against Gerard is coming from.
This story is absolutely brilliant and really shows Gerard's dilemma between staying with the man he thinks he loves and living in fear of being abused too but in a really realistic way. Love this story :) xx
Whyyyy am I barely reading this now?? Holy fuck! This is good in a heartbreaking kind of way. I'm a sucker for stories of abuse, I feel like so much can be done with them and looking at them from different angles, so I'm definitely looking forward to where you go with this. Poor Gerard, he's so blinded by wanting happiness that it's bringing on this feeling of guilt, and Frank is sooo not making any of it better! I hope Gerard gets away for awhile because false promises of leaving are just gonna give leeway to Frank being even more of an asshole. Keep up the amazing work, love <33
Gerard is an idiot for still wanting to stay with Frank. If the stair case fall didn't wake him up then I don't know what will. I'd hate for him to end up like a toy if he stays with Frank. That's just not a way to treat your best fucken friend since forever.
Frank is just... I don't even know what to call him. Fucked up maybe? There is no word to describe him. He shouldn't even be with Gerard if he feels that everything that he does is annoying. He shouldn't take Gerard for granted.
