Frank's POV

My eyes snapped open and I looked around, dazed and confused as to where I was. I recognised my band posters and knew I was in my room. I grabbed my phone to see the time. Five to seven. I sighed. It felt like I had only had my eyes closed for a second. I glanced at my phone as the screen lit up. A new message from Gee

Neither of us have slept :-( will see you in a bit xxxx

My heart dropped. It was going to be a long, hard day. I kicked the covers off, got up and forced myself into the bathroom. I stumbled a little, sleepiness clearly lingering in my body. I must have only got about an hour and half of sleep at the most. I turned the shower on and stripped of my clothes and jumped as the water came out cold first. The heat soon began to filter through, easing me a little. I thought of how Holly was while washing my hair. Was she ok? What if she wasn't ok. Damn, I hated not knowing what was wrong and hated it even more seeing my friends and boyfriend upset. Washing my body quickly and grabbing a towel, I switched the shower off and stepped out, feeling the coolness of the room, hit my body, making me shiver. My head was filled with thoughts as I mindlessly applied my guy-liner and brushed my teeth, before getting changed

"Are you ok Frank?" I looked up at my mum and smiled as she looked at me worriedly
"I'll be fine once I've had coffee," I said as I slumped over to the kettle. I glanced back around and my mum didn't look convinced but let it pass. I downed two cups of coffee and forced a couple of slices down my throat before getting up, grabbing a hoodie and chucking it on. I pulled on my converses and picked up my school bag
"Have a good day!" mum hollered from the living room
"Love you mum!" Opening the front door, Gee stood waiting, with Mikey. Checking I had my keys and phone, I shut the door and walked down the path. Gee smiled weakly at me. His eyes looked tired and full of worry. I pulled him into a tight hug and kissed his neck. I stayed like this while I glanced at Mikey. His eyes were tired and bloodshot. He looked a mess. I sighed and pulled back and gave the best reassuring smile I could to Gee. I took hold of his hand tightly and we walked. Mikey walked slowly beside us, Gee glancing at Mikey nervously, every minute, to check he was still there. We walked in silence, Gee clearly worried. I prayed that he had taken an anti-depressant and didn't begin to think he had done something wrong. I caught sight of Holly in the distance, stood, waiting by herself. As we got closer, she was staring into the distance. She looked pale and tired
"Morning Holly." She looked round; silence. Fuck, when Holly isn't hyper then som3ething definitely is up. Her eyes met Mikey and she bit her bottom lip. Me and Gee watched as Mikey walked forwards and gingerly took hold of Holly's hand. They walked quietly ahead of us. My mind was now in over-drive, confused by everything. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Holly and Mikey were holding hands, but both were silent and not talking

I glanced at Gee. He looked like he could cry at any minute. I squeezed his hand tightly and smiled at him again, but couldn't hide my own feelings of worry. We approached the school gates, where students were getting off school buses and standing around, talking to one another. Mikey slowed his pace right down as we stepped through the gates and detached himself from Holly. I felt Gee's hand leave mine and glanced over my shoulder to see Gee standing next to Mikey, trying to get his attention. I walked up behind Holly, who had stopped dead in her tracks
"Holly?" She didn't turn around this time. Over the voices, I could hear her breathing had picked up and was a little uneven. I placed a hand on her shoulder and she jumped, turning on the spot
"What's the matter?" Her eyes searched around the place. She looked paler than she had ten minutes ago. Her eyes stared over my shoulder. I glanced round as I began to hear faint sobs
"Mikey, what's the matter?" I looked to see Mikey starting to back away. His eyes were filled with tears and Gee looked desperate to know what was wrong
"I'm sorry." Mikey's words were barely a whisper as he took more steps backwards, keeping eye contact with Holly. He turned and ran back out of the school gates, with Gee calling at him and students looking round and whispering to one another. I turned round to see Holly. She looked like she could collapse, but before I could reach her, she turned and ran off in a direction, through crowds of people. I grabbed Gee's hand and made him look at me
"Go after your brother, he needs you." Gee nodded his head. I squeezed his hand one last time before watching him run off. I turned round and looked. I was alone and had no idea where Holly was. Mikey had taken off in tears and Holly looked like she could collapse any second. Fuck, where the fuck do I start looking?

Holly's POV

I collapsed back and leaned against the wall of the cubical. I hated being sick. I couldn't relax; I was scared and felt alone. Mikey didn't want me. He had run off. Frank probably won't talk to me and nor will Gerard. Tears began to stream down my face. I could hear other girls, laughing and chuckling away. I closed my eyes and tried to even out my breathing. My parents don't know and I've no idea how I am going to tell them if I am by myself. Fuck, I'll get thrown out. I stood up shakily and flushed the toilet and waited for the last of the laughter to go. I came out and washed my hands before splashing cold water onto my face. I could feel the tears dying to break free and run down my face. I can't stay here at school, I can't go home. I thought of one spot to go and sit in. I ran out of the school toilets and ran down the corridors, ignoring everyone around me, breaking free through the double doors and out into the fresh air. I ran as fast as I could, until I reached the old bike sheds. I sat down and leaned against the bike sheds. My stomach churned again. Shit. Sickness is horrible, I hate it! I pulled my knees up to my chest and hid my face and closed my eyes as the hot stream of tears ran down my face. What do I do? My heart stopped as I heard hurried footsteps in the distance. I held my breath. I felt someone sit themselves next to me, breathing heavily. I jumped at the touch of their hand on my arm. I glanced up as Frank's eyes staring at me, worried and full of anxiety
"Holly, what's the matter?" His voice was soft and caring. I'm stupid to think that Frank would leave me, but who knows. I couldn't hold it back anymore and broke down, crying uncontrollably, all my thoughts rushing to my head at once, giving me a headache and making me pull away to bring up my stomach contents for a second time this morning. I felt Frank's hand rub my back. I pulled back gasping for air. My stomach hurt even more. I grabbed my bag, knowing I had a bottle of water in there. I took small sips and sat back as Frank put his arm around me. I cried and cried, unsure of what to say to Frank. I felt words come to my mind and found it hard to hold them back
"It's all my fault," I sobbed and fell into Frank, crying. I felt his arms wrap around me tightly and hold me steady

Gerard's POV

Fuck, my brother can run fast when he wants too! It's not like my brother to run off. I was scared it might be me; if I have done something wrong. I got scared as the black hole opened up in my heart last night, as I lay with my younger brother, while he cried quietly. He didn't even cuddle into me, like he normally does when he is upset. I beat it back, knowing it can't be me. Holly looked scared when I looked at her this morning. My sides hurt and my chest burned from running, but I kept going. Frankie had said to run after him, so I am. Mikey was ahead of me, I could see him in the distance. I watched as he ran and jumped over the wall into the park. I stopped for a second, to catch my breath, each intake of air greatly welcomed. I started to jog the rest of the way and jumped over the wall and landed next to my brother. He was crying, harder than last night, gasping for air as he did. I got worried that he might pass out if he didn't calm down. I put an arm around him and even if he struggled, I'd hold him tight. I leaned into me as I put my other arm around him. He turned and cried into my chest. I fought back my own tears, knowing it wouldn't help if I cried. I held him tight and didn't dare to let go of him. His breathing evened out and he sat up a little, but remained cuddled into me
"It's my fault," he whispered, "My fault that this has all happened." I wanted to know what was the matter- what was his fault? I know my brother makes silly mistakes, but they are laughed off easily
"What is Mikey?" I cooed at him, "What's gotten you so upset?" He sobbed a little more
"My fault that Holly doesn't love me anymore." Had they broken up? But they were holding hands; unless it was a cover up to me and Frankie
"What do you mean?" I rubbed his back soothingly
"Y-you're going to hate me, and so w-will everyone e-e-else."
"I promise you, I won't. I know you're my brother and do stupid things, but I could never hate you. You help me get through things and whatever this is, I'll help you get through it, I promise."

I hoped it would be enough to get him to talk. He pulled away a little
"Holly's pregnant." His words are barely audible, but they seemed clear enough. I didn't know what to think
"Pregnant?" I repeated

Frank's POV

I held Holly in a cuddle for a long time. I wanted her to calm down and I didn't care how long it would take, as long as she was fine. Her breathing was even. She still looked pale
"Are you and Mikey ok?" She whimpered and took in a sharp breath. Well that is a no for sure
"I'm nine weeks," she sobbed. Nine weeks? What the hell does that mean!
"And it's my fault, because I-" she sobbed even harder. I shushed her and cuddled her more, moving her hair out of her face. I sat and thought for a minute. Nine weeks. I looked past her and caught sight of her stomach contents. No. Way
"You're pregnant?" I tried to say calmly, but came out in a more surprised tone. She nodded her head
"It's ok," I said unsure of what to say. I had no idea if Holly wanted this, but the answer was obvious
"No it isn't! Mikey's run off, clearly showing he doesn't want me anymore!" She cried
"Hey, I highly doubt that! He loves you and if he is like Gee then there is no way he'll leave you! He is probably just as shocked as you are!" She sobbed even more and I cuddled her more
"I can't get rid of it, I don't have the guts."

"Wait, how do you know the test wasn't faulty?"
"I took three tests, all positive," she said bluntly. I nodded my head
"Even so, you need to get it confirmed by the doctors." She cried still and nodded her head
"I've no idea, if Mikey doesn't want anything to do with me, I've no idea how I'm gonna tell my parents by myself." I sighed. I knew Mikey wouldn't leave her; I don't know why, a part of me just said he wouldn't
"I'll go with you to tell your parents." Holly looked at me
"Holly, you're my best friend, and I'm gonna stand by your side through the whole thing. If Mikey bails out, I no doubt Gee would murder him."
"If Mikey does leave me and I get kicked out, where the fuck am I going to stay?" Holly said. I could guess she had been up all night thinking about it
"I have a spare room that you can stay in, it will be fine, it might not seem it to you now but it will be fine." I smoothed her back and hugged her more. She sniffed a few times, trying to calm herself more. All I could think of, is why didn't they use protection? Not like Holly to do something without being sensible
"I love Mikey," Holly whispered. I smiled and squeezed her gently and we sat quietly

Gerard's POV

"She hates me, I know it," Mikey sobbed. I shook my head
"Why would she hate you?"
"I got her pregnant Gerard!" he yelled. I held him still not letting go
"Didn't you use protection?" I asked. I couldn't help but ask. If he didn't, then I could hit Mikey for being stupid
"Of course we did, I'm not as stupid as I make out to be!" My heart dropped and I looked at my brother
"It split and neither of us knew until now," Mikey sighed. I wiped his tears away
"Why do things like this have to happen to the best of people," I sighed. Mikey hugged me again and didn't let go
"What do I do Gerard? I still love her, but I don't know what to say or do," he sobbed
"Well, go back there, and tell Holly you love her. She is probably scared shitless after you taking off." He pulled back and slapped himself in the face. I raised an eyebrow
"Fuck, I'm an idiot."
"Yeah, you are." He glared at me. I smiled sympathetically at him
"But you're my idiot because you're my brother and you're Holly's idiot because you're her boyfriend." I could see a smile forming on his face. I felt my hopes lift, getting him to smile. I didn't feel too worried, now knowing what was up
"But, what about mum and dad? What about Holly's parents? Her parents will want to murder me, mum will go mental and probably throw me out," Mikey said his face dropping

"Mum won't kick you out, if she does, then I'll leave home and stay with you, no matter what."
"What if Holly gets kicked out?"
"Don't panic Mikey, we deal with those things when it comes to it," I said reassuringly. He sounded a little like mum, when he panicked about things
"Right now, I think you should be with Holly, she'll need you and so you know I'll be right here and so will Frankie," I smiled. He nodded his head. I stood up and held my hand down
"Come on, let's get you to Holly." He took my hand and pulled himself up. He hugged into me tightly and I hugged back equally as tightly
"I'm going to take a guess at the old bike sheds, but just to be sure," I said pulling out my phone and sending off a quick text to Frankie. We started to walk back towards school, Mikey staying close by my side as we walked. Mikey isn't the only one worried about what our parents were going to do. But I would be with him the whole time. I'm sure Frankie would help out in some way. Maybe today Frankie won't pester me into asking what I want for my birthday today. I turned and smiled at Mikey as my phone went off. He smiled a little, which made me smile even more before reading the text from Frankie

Bike sheds xxxxxx

We walked in comfortable silence, but soon tension began to build as the school gates came into view.

Frank's POV

Gee wasn't far away with Mikey. I had an arm wrapped around Holly, keeping her calm and comforted. I hadn't told her Mikey was walking back. I wanted it to be a surprise. But then again, how would Holly react when he walked back. She had been crying uncontrollably and been sick. I had no idea how she was feeling now; whether she was better for telling someone what was wrong, or whether she felt worse. Would she cry again? Or scream and hate Mikey? I began to worry a little. Holly loves Mikey, there is no denying that, but there's no telling what really could happen. Holly and Mikey are a sweet couple; Holly is my best friend and Mikey was a best friend too, I don't know what I'd do without those two and Gee of course. But I can't believe something like this has happened to two perfect people, who haven't done anything wrong in their lives. Just goes to show, you can't always count on protection to prevent pregnancy. I sighed a little and stared out into the distance. At least the sun was sort of out today, I don't think I'd be sat here with Holly if it was raining heavily, even if I do like walking out in it; in fact I don't think I'd have found Holly if it was raining. I became aware of footsteps across the grass. I turned my head a little and could see the tall, lanky figure that was Mikey's, walking across the grass, with his brother by his side. I smiled a little and turned back round. Holly seemed to be in a daze, staring at a spot on the ground. It wasn't until Mikey crouched down in front of her, that she finally looked up. Her eyes seemed to sparkle for a second, before her warmth left my side and engulfed Mikey was she embraced him in a tight hug. Her quiet sobs were heard again, as well as Mikey's quiet cries. I backed away and felt a pair of hands under my arms and pull me to my feet. Knowing it was Gee, I cuddled into him and watched as Mikey sat down properly and Holly cuddled into him tightly

"I can't believe it," Gee whispered. I turned to look into his hazel eyes. I could tell he was holding back tears. I smiled hopefully at him
"I know, nor can I, but, they're together, I mean, it's not like Holly's tried to push him away," I said quietly. Gee nodded his head
"And you done a good job, talking to Mikey, I knew you could get through to him," I smiled. Gee smiled. I hugged him tight and looked back round. Holly and Mikey spoke quietly, their voices hushed. I laced my fingers with Gee's and felt him squeeze my hand tight. I smiled and squeezed back. Holly and Mikey spoke for ages. Gee decided to stay, in case either Holly or Mikey freaked out and tried to make a run for it again. I sat with Gee, both of us keeping quiet. After half an hour, Mikey finally spoke up
"We're, uh, going to go to the doctor's," Mikey mumbled. Gee looked round and smiled
"Ok, you got the bus fare?" Mikey nodded his head
"We've decided that, when we know it for sure from the doctor, then, we'll tell parents," Holly said quietly. I nodded my head
"Meaning, when we get back and home," Mikey said, his eyes fixed on his brother. Gee smiled and nodded his head
"I'll be there for you Mikey," Gee said with a smile
"And then I'll go round to Holly's and help her tell her parents," Mikey said. Holly nodded her head
"Remember what I said Holly, no matter what, if you get kicked out and the Way's don't want you, spare room is yours if you want it." I looked to Mikey
"Same applies to you too Mikey." Mikey smiled a little before standing up with Holly. Gee stood up quickly and hugged his brother tightly before hugging Holly. I smiled as approached Holly and hugged her
"You'll be fine, I promise," I whispered
"Thanks Frank," she said quietly. I hugged Mikey too, before I stood with Gee and watched them walk away
"I really don't fancy lessons today," Gee sighed
"Nor do I." I was tired, but gee had no sleep what so ever. We sat back down on the grass, avoiding the contents of Holly's stomach and sat quietly, cuddled into Gee

--------------------------------------------------

"Frank." I snapped out of my daze and looked at my mum. I smiled
"Uh," I had no idea what my mum had said to me. She had the same worried look on her face from this morning
"You're really distant Frank, are you ok?" She sat down next to me. I nodded my head
"Just tired." It was true that I was tired
"Nightmares?" Her voice was soft
"No!"
"Well, you know you can talk to me about anything Frank. Are you and Gerard ok?"
"Of course we are! I think I'd be in a worse state if we weren't." I didn't even want to think what it would be like, if I wasn't with Gee. I couldn't bear to think of the emotional state I would be in. I would never want to leave Gee, never. I shook my head of the thoughts
"Then what is it?" It wasn't my business to say exactly why, it was for Holly and Mikey to say
"Gee was up all night with Mikey. Mikey was upset over something, so Gee didn't sleep." Mum nodded her head slowly
"And I was worried about both of them, so didn't sleep much." I was pulled into a hug by mum
"Aww, well maybe you should have an early night tonight and I'll ask my question again."
I pulled back from her grip

"Gerard's birthday, do you want to stay over his all weekend, or just for the one night? Donna asked me to ask you today." I beamed
"All weekend, if that's ok." My mum kissed my forehead before standing up
"I'll get started on dinner." Mum disappeared out of the room. I looked round at the time. Mikey would be sat in front of his parents, with Gee now, telling them everything. The doctor had said positive. I had no idea how they reacted, only a text saying positive from Holly. I'd have to be the one, to sit in front of my parents and tell them that I got someone pregnant, or if I was a girl, to tell them that I was pregnant. I'd dread how to think my mum would react. I sighed and lay further back onto the sofa. I had skived lessons all day with Gee. He had fallen asleep at the old bike sheds for about an hour; it was so sweet and beautiful to watch him sleep. My eyes were heavy and I stared out into my lounge, listening to mum move around in the kitchen preparing dinner. I could feel myself drifting, like as if I was floating. I jolted awake as there was a knock at the door. I sprang from the sofa and walked quickly to the door. I opened it to see Gee standing there. He smiled at me, which could only be a good sign
"Mum! I'm just sitting on the porch with Gee!" I waited for a reply and when I received one, I grabbed my keys in case I got locked out and sat outside with Gee
"How did it go?" I asked
"Good, I just walked Mikey to Holly's, just to make sure he got there ok." I nodded my head and leaned on Gee

"Mum was a little over dramatic at first, started questioning Mikey saying it's your fault, you're under age, you're both under age, what were you thinking, do you even know what you got yourself into, really throwing questions at Mikey. Dad was calm and quiet. I piped in and said it wasn't his fault and it wasn't Holly's fault. Dad asked whether he did use protection and when Mikey replied, the whole room went silent. Mum knows when we lie and tell the truth and she knew he told the truth. Next thing Mikey knew he was in a bone crushing hug from mum, was funny the look on his face." I giggled knowing how tight Donna' gives hugs
"Dad was, I guess happy for him, considering he walked up to Mikey, shook his hand, smiled and told him congratulations. Both parents are going to support, which is a good thing."
"That is a good thing."
"But, if they ever stay the night at home with the baby, although my room is in the basement, I think I'll be staying with you just so I can sleep," Gee giggled. I chuckled and yawned
"Just got to think about Holly though, about how her parents will take it. I know Mikey is scared. He says Holly's mum is scaring when she's in a bad mood." I nodded my head in agreement. Her mum could be scary, the facial expression and the slamming of doors, draws and cupboards. The silent treatment too. But Holly is good at ignoring it and is usually the one to bring her mum round.
"Her dad is protective too, but I guess he is just looking out for his baby girl," I said. Gee laughed
"I'm sure it will be fine," I said, even though, I was a little unsure myself. I closed my eyes for a second and breathed in the evening air. I felt something soft press against my lips and realised it was Gee. I kissed him back and smiled
"Think we'll all sleep well tonight," Gee said quietly. I nodded my head. We sat quietly, in the evening air and watched as the odd car went down the street. The sound of the birds, singing their evening chorus as the sun set, sinking in the sky, disappearing for another day, to rest before reappearing and brightening up our day tomorrow. I had no idea, how long I had been sat with Gee on the porch. Mikey and Holly were walking down the side walk. My heart sank, when I saw a rather large bag, being carried by Mikey and his arm around Holly. Scrabbling to our feet, and running down the garden path, to the gate to meet Holly and Mikey

"I'm having a few days away from home, just so I can get used to the idea of having to carry new life for nine months," Holly said
"But are your parents ok?"
"Yeah, little bit shocked I think, but they said they'll be there for me. I just want to be with Mikey, so we can talk a little more, and get our heads round the idea of being teenage parents." I nodded my head and smiled. Holly smiled back
"I'll try not to make too much fuss, it will only be for a few days, then I'll go back home, so I can spend time with mum, as she's decided to take the first week of spring break off to be with me."
"That's fine," Gee smiled
"FRANK! DINNER!" I cringed at how loud my mum could shout. The door was shut
"I better go, I'll see you guys tomorrow." Holly hugged me and Mikey smiled. Gee watched as Mikey and Holly set off towards the Way house hold before pulling me into a tight hug
"Thanks Frankie."
"For what?"
"For encouraging me to go after my brother, for staying strong throughout today and last night." I smiled and pulled him into a kiss, that was long and meaningful
"I'm proud of you for being strong. You know if you're upset or worried, you can talk to me."
"FRANK!" Gee giggled
"You better go, don't want your mum getting mad." Gee kissed me one more time before turning and following after his brother and Holly
"I love you!" I called after him. He turned round and smiled brightly
"I love you too!" I smiled and walked happily, back up my garden path and pulled my house keys out. It was going to be a long and eventful nine months, I could tell. The warmth from my house hit me
"FR-"
"No need to shout, I'm here, I was talking to Gee, sorry." I shut the door with my foot and tossed my keys onto the small side table and walked into the kitchen. Mum smiled and I smiled back brightly. Today was emotional and tiring, but things do look up. But there is one thing I didn't do; ask Gee what he wanted for his birthday.

Ok - so I haven't fully gone through and done the spell check tonight, so if there is anything, point it out, but I'll probably scan over it again tomorrow. But I hope you guys like it!
