"Is it Frankie?" Gerard asked from his bed.
I opened the window and helped Frank Iero out of the pouring rain. It always seemed to rain when he came.
We'd known Frank since third grade. His mother had died when he was ten and he's lived with his alcoholic dad ever since.

She closed her book and got up."That's the third time this week."
