Frank took a deep breath, "I was wrong." he said. "Yes you where." I said. "I don't want to fight
Izzy. Please just listen." he said. "Okay, talk." I said. "Now, I still think that you're too young
for him but that doesn't mean that you two don't love each other. Bob told me that you think that
Gerard doesn't love you anymore and you're wrong." he said. "Frankie I think he made it clear that
he doesn't want me, he agrees with you that I'm too young for him." I said. "No, he didn't want you
to have to choose between him and me so he told you what he did so that you wouldn't have to
choose." Frank said. "Really?" I asked. "Here, listen to this." Frank said and pulled his phone from
his pocket. He punched in a number and handed it to me.
It was his voice mail and there was a message from Gerard, "Frank please listen to me." he
pleaded, his voice thick, "I love Izzy and I always have. She's beautiful and wonderful. She
loves me just as much as I love her and I wish that you would see that. I regret everything I said
to her in the living room the other day. I could see that hurt in her eyes and it ripped my heart
apart to see her in so much pain. I haven't slept in days thinking about how much I must have hurt
her. I want to call her but I don't think she'd pick up the phone. When you get this please call me
back I need to talk to you. There has to be some way that I can convince you that I love her and
that I'd never hurt her. Please Frank."
I closed the phone and handed it back to Frank, my mind reeling. "When did you get that?" I asked.
"The day after we got back. I didn't call him back but I think that you should." he said. "Really?"
I asked. "Yeah. Go call him." Frank said. "Thank you!" I said and threw my arms around his neck and
kissed his cheek. "You too Bobby." I said and kissed him on the cheek as well. I walked to my room
and punched in Gerard's number. It rang once and he picked up, "Izzy?" he asked. "Yeah." I said. "Oh
my god. I'm sorry I said all that stuff to you. I shouldn't have." he said. "It's okay Gee; I know
that you did it so I wouldn't have to choose." I said. "Yeah. I miss you so much." he said. "I miss
you too." I replied. "Just think, in two days we'll be back together on the bus but this time we'll
be able to be together and not have to hide It." he said and I could hear the smile in his voice. "I
know. I don't know if I can wait until then though." I said. "It'll be easy baby, I promise." he
said and I smiled to myself.
We talked until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore. I fell asleep dreaming of his lips on mine and
his voice whispering to me. "Izzy." he whispered over and over again. It was almost like I could
feel him curled next to me. I rolled over and realized that I couldn't move over anymore than I
already was. I opened my eyes and saw Gerard lying next to me. It didn't surprize me, I had been
dreaming about him over and over again since I came to Chicago and it wasn't the fist time that I
had woken up and thought I saw him lying beside me. "If only you were really here." I whispered and
closed my eyes again. "I am here Izzy." came Gerard's voice and then there were lips on mine and
almost screamed, "Gerard!" I said and threw my arms around him. "Oh you're up." he said opening his
eyes. I pushed my lips against his and he put his arms around me. It felt so good to be close to him
again. I pulled away and looked at him, not sure that he was really there, "When? Why? How?" I
asked. "Uh...I got on a flight as soon as you hung up last night and I got in this morning, because
I missed you and on a plane even though I already answered that in the first question." He said. I
kissed him again and his hands found the sides of my face. I rolled over so I was on top of him and
he ran his hands under my shirt. I pushed my hips into his and he let out a moan.


"OKAY! Don't make me get the hose!" Frank yelled making both of us jump. I rolled off of Gerard and
sheepishly grinned at my cousin. "Look, I'm going to let you be here and sleep in the same room as
my cousin and all but would you please keep the moaning and such down to a minimum? Please for the
sake of my ears and my sanity." Frank asked. "Sanity? You actually still believe you're sane?" I
asked. "Shut up Izzy." Frank said and Gee and I cracked up.
