Love Since the First Time I Laid Eyes on You

The first time we met

Franks POV

I remember the first time I met Gerard.
I was about 10 and ran away from home cos my mum and dad were fighting again and I happened to have gotten caught up in it and taken a few hard blows form my father. I ran to the local park alone, I walked about 5 blocks to get there, not to mention how dangerous the streets were back then and still are.
I remember crying my eyes out as I was walking and I didn’t even know where I was walking to I just wanted to get away from it all.
I couldn’t help but think some one was following me as I was walking it was pretty awkward scary too, but I was to afraid to turn around and see who it was following me.
When I thought to myself I had run far enough I decided I needed to sit down and rest. So slowly I had begun to walk through the park, exhausted from running so far.
I could see 2 kids about 12 years old walking up behind me. They both sniggered when I turned around to look at them. They looked pretty dodgy.
Suddenly I felt somebody attack me from behind then another person jumped on me. I screamed out in horror and surprisingly pushed the 2 bodies off me and ran for my life.
I ran so fast trying to get away from them but as I turned around I could see who the people chasing me were, the 2 boys who had been following me.
“Piss off” I had shouted at them.
I kept running my heart out until I was absolutely worn out.
I had to stop, but when I did the 2 boys tackled me over and begun kicking furiously at me and they took a few blows to my head too.
I remember screaming for help as the kids bashed me.
All of a sudden out of nowhere this kid came running out from behind a tree.
“Hey! Piss off leave him alone!!” the kid called out rushing to my rescue.
“Help!!” I screamed out helplessly, lying bruised and battered on the ground.
I watched as the kid ran over to try and help me but he was struck with a forceful punch in the face.
The kids reflexes were pretty good coz he hit the boy who punched him back quite quick knocking him with strength to the ground.
“Asshole” the boy on the ground cursed.
“Piss off or else I’ll give you another bruise to add to the one you already have” the kid said.
“Come on Bert, lets go” the other boy said.
And with that the 2 boys who attacked me ran off.

“Are you okay man” the kid said running over to my side.
“Yep I’ll be okay” I had replied rubbing vigorously on my left arm.
“Geez, bludy criminals, I heard someone screaming and thought I better take a look, then I see 2 kids bashing the hell out of a small person lying on the ground, so I thought I had better come to your rescue” the kid said kneeling down next to me.
I manage to smile at him with a very sore jaw.
“I'm Gerard by the way, what's your name?” the kid said.
“Uh I'm Frank” I said a little shaken.
“Okay Frank please to meet you” Gerard said.
“Same here” I replied.
“Do you know the boys that did this to you?” Gerard asked.
“No” I reply now feeling the pain on my lower torso, I begin to rub it slightly.
“Here lift up your shirt” Gerard said looking at me rub my stomach.
Slowly I lift up my shirt revealing 3 big bruises on my stomach.
“Ouch geez,. We better get you home to your parents where do you live I’ll take you” Gerard said softly brushing his fingers over my swollen abdomen.
“No please, I never want to go back there again” I say panicking.
“Please don’t let me go back there, my dad he’ll….” I said.
“He’ll do what?” Gerard asked looking slightly concerned.
“He’ll hurt me” I replied sitting up slightly.
“What that’s nonsense” Gerard said.
“You don’t know, he will hurt me, that’s why I came here to; to get away from him” I replied as tears began to stream slowly down my cheeks.
“Hey, its okay little man, we can just hang out here for a while and then we’ll decide what to do” Gerard says placing his arm over my shoulders.
I couldn’t help but cuddle into him and cry my eyes out, I had felt unwanted. Gerard didn’t mind having me cry my eyes out all over him, he simply just comforted me even though we had barely known each other for 5 minutes.

“Come on, we can go over to the playground” Gerard said offering a hand to help me up.
“Okay” I replied taking his hand.
At that moment I saw every loving thing about him, his hair it was perfect, long but perfect. His eyes they looked a gorgeous hazel color in the light of the sun and it looked as if he was wearing a thin coat of eyeliner, like what girls wear. I didn’t mind that he wore make up but he did look pretty cute.

As we walked over to the playground I asked Gerard how old he was.
“I'm 13” he replied, we walked past the tree in which he came from and he picked up a sketch pad and pencil.
“And how old are you?” Gerard asked.
“um 10” I replied.
Gerard frowned slightly “It isn’t wise someone your age to be hanging around here, how far away fro here do you live anyway?” he said.
“About 5 blocks away” I said.
“Oh shit” Gerard replied.
“Yea, but who cares, are you gonna come on the playground?” I asked limping slightly beside Gerard.
“Um nah, I’ll watch you though” Gerard replies sitting down on a park bench.
“Okay” I replied and ran slowly over to the playground.

I watched closely from the slide at Gerard. I couldn’t help but stare as he began to draw something into his sketch pad. He looked interesting the way he drew, the way his face moved when he made mistakes.

After a while I decided to go and sit down beside Gerard.
I had gazed down at what Gerard had been drawing and was pretty amazed.
“Wow, that’s really cool” I said to Gerard sitting down beside him on the park bench.
“Thanks” he replied.
I kept watching him as he began to draw another vampire, it looked real.
“Well we better get going” Gerard said closing his sketch pad.
“No please I don’t wan t go back to my house please don’t make me” I begged tugging on the side of Gerard's jersey.
“I'm not going to, you can come back to my house if you want” Gerard said.
“Really, thank you” I replied.
So I walked with Gerard back to his house and we’ve been friends ever since then.

And now 6 years later I live at home with my mum, but am hardly ever home coz I spend most of my time at the Way residence

I find myself in Gerard's room making out with him, but of course this isn’t the first time.
