'Cause You Stop The Noise.

Gerard looked up at me.

"Well, Frankie dearest. I think we should go back."

"I guess we should."

We both got up and started walking to the back door.

"I really am sorry."

I looked at Gerard.

"I know your dad was an alcoholic.. Mine was too. Frank, your dad walked out on you before he was physically gone. Drinking is just.. Bad. We hide behind our drunk selves, you know.. Sometimes, we think that it's the only way we can be happy. While we're always drunk, we lose our real selves. We forget how to be without being drunk."

I sighed.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I want you to know that even if I am an alcoholic, I love you. And I know that even if your dad left, he loved you too. He just couldn't give you the love you deserved."

I stared at him.

"I don't deserve love."

"Yes you do."

"Why?"

"Everyone deserves love, babe."

I smiled.

"I love you Gee."

He got closer and hugged me.

"I love you too Frankie.. And your dad, he loves you too."

I sighed. "How do you know that?"

"I just do."
