Wow, you sure know how to write cliffhangers!
Although I kinda want to hate Gerard for kissing Frank, I can definitely see why he did it; he's used to having nobody care about him and, in his highly stressed state, when someone finally offers him help it's not surprising that he thinks he's in love with them. But Frank's probably right, Frank is Mikey's only friend and now the poor kid probably doesn't know where he stands with Frank, perhaps maybe even thinking that Frank used him to get close to his big brother. I loved the way that Frank ran straight out to look for Mikey, it showed how much he cares and how guilty he feels about the kiss. I just hope he finds Mikey before something too awful can happen to him...
Great job and I can't wait for more! :D

Thank you very much! You seem to understand this chapter completely. Gerard does feel lonely so when Frank was being nice to him Gerard just couldn't stop himself. But frank is all Mikey has left and doesn't know where he stands with him. Mikey definitly feels used and betrayed and I'm delighted ou go this. I'm really glad the caring side came through in Frank during this big mess. I'm really happy you like this chapter. And I hope to have another update or two tonight. Thank you so much for this really lovely review. It has made me smile! :)
