That was an absolutely perfect ending! I loved how Gerard felt guilty about what he did, but managed to make up with the other two in the end. I thought it was great how Frank was really wary of him at first, perhaps more than a little bit angry, because I thought that really showed how much he cares for Mikey. The ending itself was fantastic; bittersweet, but with a nice warm fuzzy feeling that makes the reader feel that everything will be okay for the characters.
Great job on a fantastic first chapter-story! Well done. :D

Thank you!!! I'm really happy to see that you enjoyed it. I'm glad Franks protectiveness of Mikey came through in this chapter. I felt that it was an important key in the last couple of chapters. I am also really happy to hear that you got a sense of everything being okay for the characters as cliche as it is but I was finding it quite hard to end and I wanted the feeling of achievement in each of the characters minds. I have really enjoyed reading all your reviews and I am so happy you stuck the whole way through. It was very helpful! :)
