My Heart Beats Only For You

Gerard’s POV

“Bob is going to be so surprised when he walks in! He’s going to be like ‘Whoa! Frank man you remembered my birthday!’ and I’m going to be like ‘Of course man! How could I forget?! You’ve been moping around because the girls won’t be here!’ and yeah, it’s going to be just like that.”

“Frank, are you sure you didn’t eat skittles today?”

“Nope, just some 4 coffees, some cake, and maybe a couple chocolate bars, but I’m totally fine Gee Bear!” I shook my head with a slight laugh and decided to hang some more streamers before Mikey and Ray brought Bob through the garage door for his ‘surprise party’. I tried to ignore the childish screams of my hyper active boyfriend as I focused on not falling off the ladder and possibly dying, now the hospital wouldn’t be a very fun place to spend Bob’s birthday. I put the last of the black, blue, and yellow streamers up, fixed the shot glasses for our New Year’s toast, and checked to make sure there weren’t any complications with the cake, again. The cake Frank had mentioned he ate happened to be the cake I had bought for Bob; Frank decided he needed to taste it to make sure it wasn’t ‘poisoned’. I tried to explain to him that if it was I wouldn’t want him to be the one to test it because then he’d be dead. He didn’t care because he had already consumed a quarter of the cake. Taking it away from him was actually a lot simpler then it seemed considering he was to hyper to have a firm grip to pull the cake back.

Once I was satisfied with everything I feel the weight of another pulling me behind some chairs. I turned to my side and seeing a smiling Frank hushing me because the guys had arrived. We faced the door and waited for the confused ginger to finally spot the decoration then Mikey, Ray, Frank, and I all yelled out ‘SURPRISE’ that brought tears to Bob’s eyes. Apparently no one has ever thrown him a surprise party and he was so shocked that we had. He tackled Frank into a hug after Frank bragged that this was all his idea and he deserved all credit; don’t think it was worth it after his collision with the garage floor. After we all managed to stop laughing and Frank recovered from his hug, we sat around listening to Black Flag, The Misfits, Iron Maiden, and drinking whatever we managed to rip off our parents. Around 11:50 Anita and the girls decided to call and wish Bob happy birthday and stayed on the phone until we all saw the ball drop in New York, thanks to television. We all wished each other a happy New Years and us guys took our shots of cheap vodka. The girls wished us luck with the rest of our morning and promised to check up to see how bad our hangovers were.

After we all calmed down on the drinking, we cut Bob’s birthday cake and luckily no one notice the missing chunk. All in all, the night turned out perfect and I got to see the guys the happiest they’ve been since the girl left for their trip. It was a pain in the ass to clean up, especially since Frank had passed out already (stupid sugar high and alcohol), but Mikey and Ray were still sober enough to help me out. We insisted that Bob wouldn’t do anything because he was the birthday boy. Once we had cleaned up good enough, we decided it was time to go home. I woke Frank up and he and I groggily walked back to his house to catch up on needed sleep.
