Description
"We should be getting back."
"Yeah." We stood up and dusted off our jeans, then started walking back to the camp. There wasn't any more tension. But it wasn't good either. "Frank. Can you do something for me?"
"What?"
"Can you convince Mikey to talk to me so that I can explain?" I looked at him.
"I'll try." He looked down and nodded.

We didn't spoke the rest of the way.
When we arrived, everyone was close to the fire that was in the middle of the camp, but they weren't paying attention to whatever it was that they had to do. I spotted Mikey as soon as we get there. He was talking to Bob and Ray. I took a deep breath and looked at Gerard.
"Here we go."
"Yeah." We walked towards them. When we approached them, they just stayed silent.
"Mikey?" He looked at me with a curious expression. "Can... can we talk?" He nodded then glared at Gerard before pulling me aside.
"You guys talked about me didn't you."
"Yeah." He nodded.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Well... I talked to Gerard."
"We all know how the last time you talked to him went."
"Mikey listen... You have to talk to him."
"Why?"
"He can explain better than I would ever could." Mikey looked at me straight in the eyes.
"I don't want to talk to him."
"Mikey, he's your brother. You're going to have to talk to him sooner or later."
"I prefer later." I took a deep breath.
"Can I ask you something?"
"What?"
"Look. I really like you Mikey. I do. I really do. You have no fucken idea on how much I do."
"I like you too Frank." At the sound of his words, a wide smile came to my face.
"Really?" He nodded.
"I can't change my feeling completely in one day." My smile got wider.
"Mikey, I really want us to get back together. But I have no idea on what to do to prove to you that I've changed."
"You want to get back together?" I nodded.
"Can you please talk to Gerard."
"Frank, you know I don't feel comfortable talking to him."
"Mikey please. I know that if you let him explain, there are going to be some issues resolved." He stayed quiet for a second.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm positive."
"Fine." I smiled once again. "Let me go talk to him."
"Thank you." He looked at me and nodded, then he walked over to Gerard and they started talking.
I gave them one last look and walked back to the rest of the class.

I looked for Ray and Bob but I didn't find them.
I went back to the tent and laid down.
After a few minutes I got bored and walked back outside. Mikey and Gerard were still talking.
I heard a noise and turned to see where it was coming from. I saw Ray and Bob walking from behind one of the bushes. I waited for them to catch up to me.
"Dude, where were you guys? I've been looking for you." Bob smiled.
"Did little Frankie get scared?"
"No! I was lonely." They started laughing.
"Awww, how cute."
"So where were you?" Bob blushed.
"We were just walking around." I gave him a suspicious look.
"Behind the bushes?"
"Yeah."
"Why?"
"Because we wanted to okay!"
"Sorry for asking." Bob glared at me. "Don't make that face at me!" He smiled. "That's better."
"You just love having your way don't you." I returned the smile.
"Yup."
"And you always get your way?"
"Most of the time."
"You're a spoiled little brat Frank."
"Ah! I'm not spoiled, nor am I a brat."
"Whatever you say." I pounted at Bob. "Awww, look Ray. Little Fwankie is mad. Don't you just want to pinch his cheeks?" Ray shook his head, making his hair move back and forth.
"Not really." Bob turned back to me.
"Well I do." He reached towards me and pinched my cheek with a tough grip and not letting go.
"Ouch!" I grabbed his arm and tried to make him let go of me but without any use. "Bob, you're hurting me!" He finally let go.
"Sorry Frank." He rubbed my cheek and leaned down and kissed it. I smiled widely at him.
"Thanks." Bob smiled as well.
"Stop!" We looked at Ray confused. He seemed uncomfortable but he also seemed like if he was jealous.
"Ray are you jealous of Bob and I?"
"No! I just don't want to see you too... loving each other." I spoke in a childish voice and hugging Bob.
"But I don't want the love to stop." Bob put his arms around me as wall and smiled at Ray. He looked at us and didn't way another word.
"Bob? Are you trying to steal my boyfriend?" We let go of each other and turned around to see that Mikey and Gerard were behind us with the smallest hint of a smile.
"Boyfriend? You guys are back together?" Mikey smiled.
"Not yet. But we're getting there." I smiled widely at Mikey then turned to Bob.
"Sorry man, I'm taken."
"That's alright dude, I'm taken as well." We stood in shock. Even Gerard has a surprised look on his face.
"You are?" He nodded. "By who?"
"I don't feel like telling you guys... yet."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't feel like it." Gerard smiled.
"Come on Bob." Mikey followed.
"Yeah, come on Bob." He shook his head. I pocked the side of his ribs over and over.
"Come on, tell us." He kept shaking his head with a smile. "Tell us, tell us, tell us."
"Frank, I swear, if you don't leave me alone, I'm not going to tell you." I stopped poking him and gave him the puppy dog look. "Nah, ah. That's not going to work this time."
"Fine!" I pounted at him.
"That's not going to work either." Mikey stepped in and out and arm around me.
"Bob, you're upsetting my Frankie."
"Am I? Aw, I'm sorry Frankie." I smiled widely and wrapped my arm around Mikey.
"That's okay."
Gerard started shivering.
"I'm freezing. I'm a go closer to the fire." We nodded and he started walking away from us. We just stood still without saying a word.
I looked back at Gerard and saw him sitting in front of the fire by himself. I bit my lip and looked at the guys.
"I'm a go with Gerard." They nodded and I walked separated myself from Mikey and walked over to Gerard.
I sat next to him and smiled.
"Hey."
"Hey."
"You okay?" He nodded.
"Yeah." I nodded as well. "So you and Mikey are getting back together ha."
"I think so."
"Good."
"Really?"
"Yeah. You guys make a good couple."
"Thanks."
"No need to thank for saying the truth." I looked at him and smiled. Bob came behind us and sat next to Gerard.
"Hey man, you didn't wait for us."
"What?"
"You left us out there." He smiled.
"Sorry." Ray arrived and sat next to Bob, then Mikey sat next to me putting his arm around my shoulder.
"You know what we should do when we get home?" We all turned to Bob for an answer. "We should have a video game night." We looked at him oddly. "What? I'm just sick of being without technology for two days." We started laughing.
"I feel your pain man."
"See! Gerard gets it." I rested my head on Mikey's shoulder and kept laughing. I didn't even know why were were laughing. I guess we were just happy that all the drama was over. All that fucken drama was finally over.
