SR/DW going forward from here

Gee stood there with the water running over him. He wanted NO part of Dan.

But he knew he would have to feed soon.

And unless Bella had changed her mind about "The Change" he would have to find another way.

"Well not another WAY..another source..I've already fed from her twice, not counting," He closed his eyes dreamily as he thought out loud,
"not counting that First sweeter honey, sweeter than I've ever tasted, taste in the travel plaza rest room..She didn't even know I had..the blood on my hand.." he looked at his palm remembering,
"I had know idea she would mean so much to me..That I would fall so deeply in love.."

"Damnit what am I gunna do if she gets worse..? And I gotta figure out how I'm gunna feed now..I can't just say Bella honey, I'm peckish, I'm gunna go out for a bite." He ran his now clean hand through his now soaked and dripping, but clean, hair.

He grabbed the towel Frank had brought in for him.
"And I can't just..wander around the club.." he looked at himself in the mirror. Dan had managed a few good blows, the scratches and bruises from the fight now bright red. He toweled off, first his body, then as he continued to speak his hair.
"I can't just hunt... not here..not with it belonging to Bella's friends. What if I went to far and hurt some one? The Girls are out of the question. So are the guys." He stood there gripping the tiny sink with the towel draped over his head.

"You're wrong Gee." He heard Frank's voice, but as he'd been talking and toweling, he hadn't heard him open the door. Gee pushed the towel back from his face. "What are you talking about Frank? What are you saying?"
"I'm saying MOST of the guys are off limits.." Frank looked at him, utterly serious for once, and said softly.."I'm not."

Gee pulled the towel off his head and wrapped around his waist and pushed passed his friend and sometimes lover.
"NO Frank..NO!!" he stopped and stared at him. "I AM NOT! I'm not going to ask you to do this."

Frank looked at him aggitated, ready to fight Gee for his own good.
"Look Bell CAN'T and YOU need it! You're not asking..I'm offering.."

Gee stood there shaking. he looked around as if for escape. "There's GOT to be some other way." Gee said desperatley. "I don't wanna hurt you..Or Bella..This'll kill her if she knows she's not enough for me."
"She Knows she can't let you drink from her again, UNTIL, we know IF ANY of the vamp legends are true. And if she sees you LIKE THIS.."
"She'll insist." Gee hung his head knowing Frankie was right.
"Yeah, she'll wanna save you. Wouldn't she rather, if you were gunna feed off of anyone besides her, that it'd be me?"

Gee nodded his head in defeat.
"Yeah, yeah she would.." he ran his hand through his hair it was barely damp now.
"Maybe.., maybe we should wait..at least until she's here?"

Frank looked at his friend's troubled face.
"What are you gunna do if she offer's? Will you be able to be sure she wants the change..or just wants to help you?"

Gee slumped against the edge of the bunks.
"No. No I won't be..FUCK!! I got no choice do I? If I love her..I can't ask her. Frankie..? Are YOU sure? I mean...we still don't know shit about this whole turning thing? What if it's ONE bite?..Or Blood spatter even?"

"I hope to hell it ain't blood spatter or you just made that Bastard outside a Vamp..And if it's contact with the blood, Mikes and I we exposed the night we helped you with Bell, the night SHE tried to taste your blood, remember?" Frankie shook his head.
"Either way man, I got no choice either. I gotta do this for both your sakes..And, Because I WANT to. I WANNA know what it feels like..I watched you taste Bell, and I was DAMN jealous..I want to Know," he reached up to touch Gee's lips.
Frank whispered.."I wanna know for myself, first hand...and I wanna help both of you..YOU and Bell. She can't do this for you..I can..in part, for her."

Gee looked at Frank. His fingers still rested on Gee's bottom lip. The Vamp in him could smell Frank's blood. Could feel the geniune love and concern flowing from Frank's spirit to his..
Could feel both of there bodies responding to such and intimite They BOTH KNEW it would be better off this way.
"NO!!" Gee yelled again. "I can't DO this to Bella!"

Bella wouldn't like it but she'd understand..eventually.

Gee shallowed hard and nodded one short nod. Frankie leaned into Gerard's space and their lips connected in brief kiss.
"For Bella's sake..." Gee whispered.
"And your's...and mine." Frank answered softly.

"Turn around Frank..I'm sorry, but for me this is MOSTLY to keep her safe. If I'm gunna do this..I can't look you in the face and then..take..what I need."

Frank turned his back to Gee. He nodded "Alright.." he looked over his shoulder at Gee. "But you're not taking..I'm GIVING."

Neither of the two of them had heard or noticed, as Gee yelled the last time, the bus door quietly open and close. Nor the figure that stood alone in the dark and waited, and watched...

Gee began to tongue and kiss Frank's neck. Frankie leaned back into Gee's hands and kisses. His eyes slowly closed and his jaw went slack. Frankie was, in a matter of moments completely putty in Gee's hands.

As Frankie softly moaned, Gee could SWEAR he could smell Bella near, hear her heartbeat even. He thought it must be because he so BADLY wanted it to be her, instead of, or at least with, Frankie in his arms.

Gee pulled back and bared his teeth. He slowly sank his teeth into Frank trying to cause the most pleasure and the least amount of pain.

Frank's mouth formed a soft "Oh..." as Gee invaded his body.

While Gee drank from Frank, his thoughts flew to Bella. Frankie's blood wasn't anywhere near as sweet and intoxicating as Bella's.
'DAMN I want it to be her's!' he thought.

It was only then he heard the sob.
The first scream that escaped Bella sounded like a wounded animal. She grabbed to great handfuls of her hair, as she screamed through her tears.
"But you didn't want bad enough to even ask me!Sonaofbitch! Couldn't You have atleast asked me?! WAITED for me?"

YAY SS is at 100 posts!!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOO! It was all going so sexily well and then Bella had to get all emotional and ruin my reading pleasure *pouts*.

Fix it!!! Fix it!!! Fix it!!! I just love having new SR/DW to read!!!

Frank's mouth formed a soft "Oh..." as Gee invaded his body.

While Gee drank from Frank, his thoughts flew to Bella. Frankie's blood wasn't anywhere near as sweet and intoxicating as Bella's.
'DAMN I want it to be her's!' he thought.

It was only then he heard the sob.
The first scream that escaped Bella sounded like a wounded animal. She grabbed to great handfuls of her hair, as she screamed through her tears.
"But you didn't want bad enough to even ask me!Sonaofbitch! Couldn't You have atleast asked me?! WAITED for me?"

Gee immedately stopped drinking and let go of Frank. Without any warning and in the euphoric state he was in Frankie was almost dazed. He fell towards an empty bunk and crawled onto it. He felt all sorts of Chemicals rushing to his brain and through his body. Frankie it wasn't sure whether he liked it or not. At the moment having had it stop so suddenly he was just feeling overwhelmed.

He looked up at his two lovers. Bell, she was angry..too angry. And Gee just looked horrified.

Gee reached for Bella as she had turned to leave the bus.
"NO..Bella baby WAIT! It's not what-" he reached to grasp her upper arms.

"Don't you Bella Baby me! You KNEW I was coming back! You had you know that! Frankie? Really? Well maybe those-" Bella suddenly stopped. Even though her heart was pounding, and that little pulse in her neck was beating faster than Bob's drum roll in 'Halos', she appeared calm. She pulled away from Gee's hands. holding her hands up infront of her almost in a surrender.
"...you know what...It's fine..really. No harm, no foul." Gee knew she didn't mean a word of it. he could see the anger still blazing in her eyes. The anger, and the pain.

"Bella... baby..sweetlips..I HAD to feed..there was no one else. No one I could trust. And Frankie offered so I-"

"So..you took advantage of him. You Knew how much he wanted it. And you KNEW what it would DO to him."
Bella pushed passed Gee, who still stood only in a towel, to go to Frank. She found in one of the lower bunks. She looked down at him and brushed the hair from his eyes.
"Frankie? Are you okay?"

"No Bell. I'm not okay.." he said with a shudder. "Is..? Is this how it was for you?"

Bella felt his pulse and was concerned it was racing so fast.
"Hey, stay here one sec. Okay? I'll be back in a sec."
She turned to see Gee stairing at them. She pushed asked him with a growled.
"Get dressed." Bell grabbed one of her hoodies and then a orange juice from the fridge. She went to one of her duffle bags and searched for her supply of extra supplements she took everyday and found her iron pills, and shoved the bottle in her pocket. She quickly went back to the kitchenette, and grabbed a blueberry poptart.

As she got back to Frankie, Gee was still standing there. He had finally looked at Frank. His friend looked like he was in the middle of a REALLY bad fever, or as Gee had experienced himself, a REALLY bad 'trip'.
Gee stood there quietly muttering.
"I'm sorry Frankie..I'm SO sorry..I-" over and over again.

Bella turned to him and hissed,
"I SAID get dressed..Let him be!"Gee looked at Bella as if she had slapped him. He quickly started to move and do as she asked.

Frankie looked at Bell still in a haze.
"What's? What's this?"He asked as she opened the bottle of pills and placed one in his hand.
"Iron and drink the orange juice. It'll help you absorb the iron and stablize your blood sugar. The poptart will help too. Eat."
Frank nodded and did as Bell said. she wrapped the hoodie she had gotten around his shoulders, he was shivering. Gee had NOT prepared him at all.

Bella was furious. And Frankie knew it.
"Bell? D-don't be mad. Dan fought back..Gee looked like he'd been in a fight...cause...he..HE WAS!" Frankie started to giggle. Bella knew then that Frank was going to be fine. But that still didn't make her any less angry. She glanced up at Gee now mostly dressed and walking towards them, he was pulling a hoodie over his head and when he pulled the hood back Bella gasped.

He didn't have a scratch on him.

Infact he looked almost like a god to her at that moment..He certainly did to Frank. "Was I enough? Did I do okay?"

"Well he certainly seems fine to me. No one will ever beleive Dan if he mouths off. IF, they see him looking like that." Bell smiled at Frank. "You did good. You protected him Frankie..you did good."

Frankie nooded and inhaled with pride, like a child who had been praised for a good report card.
"I did didn't I? I did good right Gee?"

Gee saw what the aborted feeding did to Frank and he didn't like it, not one bit. And he KNEW he was respondsible. No one had forced him to feed. And he certainly could have waited atleast a few more minutes to give Bella a chance to atleast know what was going on. Instead of her have to see him betray her..Not have enough faith in her to wait a little while longer.

But at the moment, he had to think of Frank. Frankie needed him. Needed his reassurance.
"Yeah, Frankie you did good. Thank you Frank." he said as he sat down on the other side of Frank and hugged him. Gee's eyes were full of remorse as he looked at Bella over Frank's shoulder. Because of his temper, he had managed to hurt Both his lovers.

Bella stared at him untill her eyes began to burn with unshed tears.then as they glistened with those same tears about to spill over she tore her eyes from his. She stood up.
"Come on Frank. Can you stand?" The two men finally let go of each other in the crushing embrace they had been in. Frank looked up at Bell.
"Yeah! I think so! I feel GREAT!"

"Good. Because now, MCR has to perform tonight."
"WAIT! Why?" Gee said in alarm.
"Because everyone has to see you on that stage, giving it your all. They have to see for themselves first hand that any tale Dan might try to tell was a lie..A drunken fantasy..I mean there is no doubt that someone beat him up..but it couldn't POSSIBLY have been you..You'd have marks, bruises, some kind of evidence you'd been in a fight..EVERYONE in that venue has to see that you have none."

Gee found some hope in what Bella was saying, she was STILL protecting him. "Then..you're not angry that I fed?"

"NO! I'm not angry that you fed..you'd've HAD too. And probably Frankie would've been the best choice anyway.." Gee was shaking he was so confused and frightened by Bella's cold reserved DEFEATED tone. As she began to speak again, her flat monotone made it sound as though her spirit was so far away.
"You just don't get it do you..It's not the feeding, or the fact it was Frankie..or even the fact you didn't wait for me.."
"Then what then?" Gee got up and cleared the space between them in seconds.
"PLEASE! Bella Baby..I don't understand!!"
Bella looked at him and just shook her head and stepped away from him. She said quietly, with tears spilling down her cheeks,"maybe it's better off this way.." she held out her hand to Frank.
"Come on Frank, let's go set the stage." Frank walked over to her without a moments hesitation.
"We're protecting him right?"
"Yes Frankie..We'll protect him to the end." Bella looked at Gee. "Cause we love him. Please, do your make up and strut in. Make sure you stop and talk..let everyone see just how good you look."

Gee sank down onto the couch that was nearest him as he watched them leave the bus. The hole that he felt in his heart he thought would tear him inside out. Dan's blows may not have left any scars. But the resulting aftermath, of what Dan's fight had done to the three of them might never heal.

Gee's fist clenced and he dugs his little half mons of short nails in his palms. Even though he normally had no nails cause of how badly he bit them, the feeding had made then grow. The pain in his palm felt good. It centered him. Then just as suddenly he unclenched his hands.
"Bella wants me to appear perfect. To show Dan didn't do any damage. HE wanted to take Bella away from me..and wanted to her hurt her. I am DAMNWELL not going to let him succeed!" Gee got up and tramped back to his bunk and started going through his stuff.
"I Will NOT let him drive you away from me MY Bella!"

Bella ran through the parking lot quickly with Frank in tow. She was trying to just get through this night. How she wished she had never stopped here. She was angry and confused. She KNEW she didn't want to stay here..but she wasn't sure she wanted to leave on that bus tonight either. She was tired of hurting. Emotionally mostly, loving Gee cost her a hell of a lot.

But as she glanced quickly over her shoulder, she also knew that as long as she had breath in her body, she wanted to be near him. She couldn't just walk away over a bad decision. Yes she was hurt that he had not GIVEN HER A CHOICE.

But Bella knew realistically, that the end result would have been almost the same. Except maybe for the fact that Frankie's first tasting would have ended better for all three of them..
IF Gee had given her the choice, they'd be on that bus FUCKING each other.

And That would have just..fucked everything up worse.
They couldn't have just stayed on that bus and left when the rest of the gang got back. That would leave a cloud of suspicion hanging over Gee's head, in light of the accusation's Dan would have tried to spread. And that was if he didnt try to press charges.

Gee HAD to make an appearance, for all their sakes, he couldn't NOT make that appearance.

This whole night was turning into one big CLUSTER FUCK./i]
And NOT in a good way!

Bella stopped under the awning, at the entrance too the club. Frank looked at her. The rain had, for lack of a better term, sobered him up. She sighed as she stood there stairing at that damn bus. In their heads they could both [i]HEAR Gee. 'I am DAMNWELL not going to let him succeed! I Will NOT let him drive you away from me MY Bella!'

"You can't let him win you know.." Bella heard Frank softly say next to her as his hand slipped into hers and their fingers entwined.
"Yeah..I know.." She turned to Frank fighting back angry tears.
"I know..and I Can't leave him Frankie..I don't wanna think what my life would be like without him, and you, in it. For that matter all of the gang."

Frank smiled a soft smile, he lifted her hand to his lips, mimicing something he had seen Gee do.
"Come on Bell, You KNOW it's him that you REALLY love..You don't have to pretend..I DO understand..You and he, you got something..special..I'm just glad I got to be a apart of it. To see it with my own eyes."

Frankie put one arm around her and squeezed.
"He loves you you know..You make him crazy and he does you but..you DO love each other like no one I've ever seen before..Maybe it's the vamp in him..Maybe this..I dunno exchange.."
"The Most Intimate Embrace"..The feeding that's what the vamp legends call it..."
"Yeah that..Now that I've felt it I kinda understand..I mean when I saw him feed from you after you danced for him, and then that time that the two of you let me, well it was exactly participate..but I was certainly watching it..I mean I sorta got it..But now..I get it SO much more. THAT's part of it..But..I remember how nervous he was that evening before that first feeding.."

Frankie giggled. "The guys and I, we gave him SUCH a hard time..He looked like he was gunna jump outta his skin, like he was going to the prom with the girl of his dreams..Maybe because he was..He was already in love with you."

"You really think so Frank..You don't think this is just..Sympathy?"
"OH HELL NO!! Bell you can't think like that, doubt him like that for even a minute..HE. LOVES. YOU. And I won't let EITHER of you doubt or forget that!"

Bella threw her arms around Frankie and sobbed.
"Oh Thank you Frank!!" Frankie hugged back and closed his eyes for just a second. Bell felt SO GOOD in his arms. "For what?" he said with a bemused tone trying to cover how he felt.

Frank had fallen in love with Bell enough to want her to be happy, he wanted her to be with whoever it was that could make her happiest...
Frank was pretty sure that was Gee.

And in a very strange way he realised the three of them were in love together, in weird way too. Both Gee and he would try and make her happy for as long as she had left..IF, no Frankie corrected himself, when, the meds kicked..maybe then, there MIGHT be a problem. That was unless Bell realised she loved one of them more than the other...

'Face it Frank,' he thought, 'it Ain't gunna be you.' Frankie hoped Bell couldn't hear his thoughts. And if she did she ignored them.

"For EVERYTHING!! For what you just said..For being here when I needed you..For Helping him when I couldn't..You know what gives me some comfort Frank? I..when I tghink about when I'm gone..I atleast have some hope that when you two look at each other..that everyonce in a while..even just for a second, you'll think of me..I..I just don't wanna be forgotten Frank. I Know, Frankie, I know, you both will move on..I Hope you do..But I am just selfish enough that I hope every once in a while..In the stillness of the night, or the dark before the lights come up on stage..That you, and especially him,,will think of me..and ...Re-Rem-member how much I loved you..HOW MUCH I loved Him."

She shook her head..trying to fight off the fear that was gripping her heart.

Fear of being Forgotten.

"I Love him Frankie..I always will!" she wiped away the angry tears..she was ANGRY the cancer was winning."You guys better behave..cause I'll be watchin'."

Bell finally broke down in Frankie's arms.

Frankie couldn't see past his own tears. He squeezed her hard. He felt helpless to do anything to help her.
"I won't forget Bell. I swear! And I won't let him Either..I swear to you now Bell, on all I hold dear..I SWEAR I won't let him either Bell. Not that I think that would REALLY be possible for him to do.."

Frankie pulled back and took her face in his hands and MADE her look him in the eye.
"But I'LL KICK his ASS if he EVEN TRIES! You hear me?"
Bella nodded. Frankie kissed away a few of her tears and then wiped away the rest.
"Now..That Fucker, Dan..he's trying to ruin what should have been a great night for you..WE are gunna fix it! WE are gunna go in there with our heads held high and our pants slung low, and blow them all away! Gee will be comin' soon and we are going to just...leave 'em crying, beggin for more! Let's go in, splash some water on your face, we'll fix our faces.."

Frankie waited for her to laugh, and was rewarded with a smirk.
" 'at's better..and we will prepare for the "entrance"." Bella rolled her eyes.
"Look, I know he, no WE, screwed up..But it wasn't because we, or he, was trying to hurt you..If anything JUST the opposite."
Bella nodded, "I know, but..I can't deal with it right now..I OWE it to All of us to go in there and make sure Dan can't hurt us any more."

Frank kissed her on her forehead.
"Good girl, prioritize. Time now to kick ass, Dan's ass, figuratively, one LAST time. Go on in. I'll be there in a minute."
Bell stood up straighter and went in.

"You wanna talk to me?", he said to the figure that had been watching them,
"Good cause I got something to say."
