Pairing: Frank Iero and Gerard Way


Song #1 21 Guns - Green Day
<Frank's P.O.V>

     "Why! Why did you have to go.  Why couldn't you just listen to me." I whispered as i stared at his grave.  'Gerard Way' That's what the headstone read as they lowered his body.  I heard the seven guns shoot three times and knew this wasn't a dream.  I was never going to get to hold him again.  I was never going to get to kiss him again.  He was gone.  The pain was unbearable.   I had no idea how to go on.  I heard a voice in the back ground.  It was him.  Gerard's voice…  It sounded panicked.  Like there was something wrong.  Suddenly, the terrible scene in front of me began to fade into darkness.  I jolted awake with a start, running into something in the process.  It was Gerard…  It was all a dream


Song#2 Save yourself, I'll hold them back – My Chemical Romance

<Frank POV>

Crash! I heard a loud bang from my hiding place.  "Save yourself, I'll hold them back." whispered my love into my ear.

"I can't do the Gerard.  You're hurt, you'll get yourself killed.  Please come with me."  I looked at him with pleading eyes awaiting the answer I wanted.

"I have to save you.  The good guys will always die, the bad guys will always win.  That's just what happens.  I have to know you're safe.  Please just go."  He gave me a kiss and left me there, in shock.

"Goodbye my love…" I whispered.


Song#3 Little Lion Man – Mumford and Sons

<Frank POV>

"I hate you!"  I shouted as I ran out of the house.  "I though you loved me but now I see it was all a lie.  You'll never be what was in your heart."

I looked back to see a teary eyed Gerard looking back at me.  "I'm so sorry.  It's not your fault and I know I messed up and broke your heart.  But please I love you!"

"I'm sorry.  I just can't trust you and while I love you, I can plainly see you don't love me."  I turned around and ran.  I just kept running until I couldn't run anymore.   I eventually ended up in the place we first met.  I curled up into a ball above the slide and never woke up.  Some say I died from a broken heart.


Song#4  The Sharpest Lives – My Chemical Romance

<Frank POV>

It was raining.  I hated the rain.  And to help it I danced all night and the host wouldn't let me leave.  I just kept laughing, hoping I could leave.

We were playing truth or dare.  I just got dared to blow him.  I refused, so they tried to make me.  I grabbed the dagger sitting on the table and laughed deliriously at the blood on my hands.

Suddenly, Gerard comes in. "What have you done?"  I just laughed and dropped the dagger.  He backed up with scared eyes until his back was to the wall.
"You know you want me, so why don't you blow me."


Song#5  I'm Not Okay (I Promise) – My Chemical Romance

<Gerard POV>

"No, Frank, I will not forgive you.  I don't matter if it was just for looks, it still hurt!"  I screamed in his face before running out the door as fast as I could.

"Gerard!  Please don't go.  I love you."  I could hear him catching up and I knew I couldn't outrun him.  

"All this pretending, lying and sneaking is tiring.  I don't want to do it anymore."  I heard him stop as I just kept on running, into woods, all the way to my secret spot.   As I cried, I thought about if that was really what I wanted to do.  All he cared about was being popular and I hated it.
