Everythings falling apart isn't it...whilst also going in reverse. I completely understand that feeling of hopelessness, and the realisation that your future starts from here, and it isn't as pretty as you thought it would be.
And Franks grown up? The inevitable occurred, and Gerard can't cope with it.
The 'Famous Last Words' bit was brilliant, although it was odd when Lindsey snapped 'You shouldn't be listening to that' and I'm like 'Why the hell not?' Although she is trying to fix things between she and Frank, so perhaps she knows she's losing Gerard to his inner demons and longing for the past.
As usual, brilliant chapter, probably your best one yet.
