‹ Prequel: Gerard, Me and Mikey
One Way or Another
You know I'm just a fraud, I'm just afraid I feel the same, But don't tell anyone
Frank’s POV
I placed a 100 dollar bill on the table as I followed Silver outside of the now crowded restaurant. I saw her pull out a cigarette from her purse and light it up. She closed her eyes as she inhaled in.
“So, who was she?”
I was caught off guard as I was now leaning against the brick wall. She came closer to me, inhaling and exhaling once again only this time on my face.
“Who?”
She rolled her eyes.
“The pregnant chick”
I didn’t like the nickname she had made for Nicole. It kind of pissed me off a bit.
“She’s not….she’s a friend. A really great friend.”
She eyed me suspiciously.
“What?”
She chuckled lightly as she drew her cigarette to the ground putting it out.
“Listen Frank, I like you. You’re a really cool guy and all but… you’re obviously in love with someone else. I’m sorry, I just can’t be going out with someone who’s always gonna be thinking of someone else.”
I didn’t have a mirror in front of me, or any other shiny object as in to know how my faced looked like, but I felt my jaw drop. Where did she get all of that shit from? We’ve talked for what, three hours??
“Listen, I think you got it wrong. I’m not in love with her. She’s fucking engaged to my best friend and carrying his child for fucks sake!”
Her eyes grew big.
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
She had an apologetic look on her face as she tried to say something. Only no word ever left her mouth.
“You know what, forget it. Just forget this stupid date. And erase me from your contact list.”
I walked away from her, down the cold and dark streets of Jersey, more then disappointed.

Nicole’s POV
I opened my eyes and found myself in bed. I rubbed my eyes as the sound of the closet doors being open woke me up more.
“Gee? What are you doing?”
He turned to face me, two ties in his hands.
“What are those for?”
He laughed softly as he came towards me.
“Morning to you too.”
I sat up on the bed, covering my face with my hands.
“Oops, sorry. Morning.”
He laughed once again at what I said.
“Well, today I thought we might as well start the wedding planning”
My heart skipped a bit, and I felt thousands of butterflies fled my stomach, along with a soft kick from the baby.
My hand immediately was placed on my tummy, as I looked at Gee in awe.
He understood perfectly what had just happened and reached out to do the same.
“Wow, he…or she, is excited too. We better hurry the planning, we gotta tie the knot before it’s born.”
I looked up at him, a huge smile on my face.
“Yeah, I can’t wait either”
I pulled him down and kissed him passionately, but he pulled away quickly.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. It’s just I got us an appointment with a wedding planner at 10 and it’s 9, so…..if we keep kissing I won’t be able to help myself and we’ll end up being late.”
“Ohh, I see….we’ll I just gotta take a quick shower and we can go.”
He helped me up from the bed but didn’t let go of my arms. And gave me a playful look.
“A quick shower, huh? Well, I could help you with that.”
I placed a 100 dollar bill on the table as I followed Silver outside of the now crowded restaurant. I saw her pull out a cigarette from her purse and light it up. She closed her eyes as she inhaled in.

here's an update. sorry for taking so long in updating and for the chapters being sooo short I just don't know what to write, or how to end this. Cause I think I should end it soon (in some chaps.). also excuse the lack of deatils in this, I don't know what's with me. I would really appreciate comments from whoever reads this. I know rachemical does, but there's other too.
