It was a couple hours later and the 3 of them were sitting at home, Ray and Mikey were sitting at the kitchen island playing cards and Gerard was in his room impatiently waiting for a call from Frank or the hospital.

Gerard sat there, waiting, and waiting his eyes locked onto his phone constantly changing position, bored out of his mind but also filled up with anxiety. Sweat dripping from his face, his fingers tapping nervously on the back of his phone. He was a nervous wreck waiting for this call.

Back in the kitchen, ray and mikey were still playing cards, go fish, ray was winning but mikey didn't seem too disappointed. Ray had gotten up to grab a glass of water when his phone began to buzz. He se thre glass of water down and pulled his phone out of his pocket, sliding the keyboard out.

"Oh it's from frank"ray sounded surprised at the text "better show gerard"

Ray walked into gerard's room

"Uh, hey gee?" He asked slowly stepping in

Gerard sat up and looked at ray

"Yea, what do you want?"

Ray sat down next to gerard and showed him his phone 

"It's from Frank" 

Gerard snatched the phone and read the text with an open mouth

"Hey ray this is frank Im at the hospital now. No serious injuries just a fuck ton of bruises and a couple cuts the hospital just relased me." Read the text 

"OH THANK GOD HE'S OK" gerard shouted with a crooked smile

Ray smiled and let out a quiet giggle "you sure are happy about that" he noted.

Gerard looked at ray and shrugged 
"Just glad he's ok, he's my best friend" 

Gerard gave ray back his phone and ray responded

"Alright, can i please have the address of the hospital so i can come and get you?"

He waited for a couple seconds before he got a response 

"Na i don't want you to pick me up."

Ray titled his head in confusion 

"What exactly do you mean?"

He was.unsure what frank meant and  tad bit worried as well 

"I saw this strip joint on my ride here and wanna check that shit out"

Ray sighed and shook his head
"Oh dear, bless this man" he said under his breath before typing out his response 

"Alright, just don't get kicked out, don't be mean to the woman or men, and i would prefer it if you were home by midnight or sooner but whatever is fine you know."

Ray turned his phone off and shoved it in his hind pocket and walked back out to the kitchen where Mikey remained seated with 7 cards in his hands.

"What was that about?" Mikey asked quietly 

Ray sighed, grabbed his water and, sat across from mikey

"It was frank, he wants to go to a......strip joint" he responded

"Oh dear, I'm not too surprised honestly though" mikey mentioned with a shrug.

-----------------at the hospital-------------------

Frank walked outside of the hospital shoving his phone into his front left pocket and began walking towards the bus stop. 

Frank sat down on the bench by the bus stop and kicked his legs back and forth waiting for the bus.

When the bus finally pulled up, he hopped off the seat and climbed onto the bus, and reached his hand into his pocket to grab his wallet.......

"....oh shit...." Frank whispered, his eyes widening.

Frank walked off of the buss bus mumbling to himself 

"God dammit, now i can't go see the strip join, stupid fucking bus.

Frank shoved his hands in the pockets of his black ass tight skinny jeans and stormed off mumbling to himself.

He kept walking kicking any rocks that were in his path stomping around like an angry 2 year old.

There was a woman wearing a long floral sleeveless dress that had frizzy tied back grey hair and fair wrinkly skin that was walking the opposite way of frank, she spotted him stomping around and since he was fairly short the old lady concluded that frank was a 13 year old boy or something and decided to check up on him. She shuffled up to him and slowly got in her knees 

"young ma-" she began but was rudely interrupted 

Frank slammed his foot inter her shin sending her tumbling into the street

"FUCK OFF, OLD HAG" frank shouted. before running away.

He ran and ran until he began to be out of breath and slowed down to a walk. 

As he was fixing his hair her caught from the corner of his eye, the strip joint, it was across the street.

".....the holy grail...." he let out in one breath falling to his knees panting from running.

He sat there jaw open  staring at the lights flashing in the sky as the sun began to fall.

Frank began to pull himself up

"Too bad i lost my fucking wallet and can't get in" frank rolled his eyes and kept walking.

He stopped at a crosswalk and pressed the button 

"Unless....."

He ran across the street and back to the strip club and pressed his face on the glass of the window where although he couldn't see anything but the wallpaper of the room he was peering into he couldn't help but imagine the wonders beyond the door and behind the wall.

"Oh what i wouldn't give to suckle a tit" he mumbled drool spilling out of his mouth and trickling down the glass.

Tears began streaming down his face,at the thought of not being able to get in the club

"Curse this child's body" he shouted, punching the side of his face.

Frank stepped away from the building and sat down at a nearby bench.

He sat there his elbows digging into his thighs as his hands held up his head.

"Hey toots what's wrong" a voice said to frank, followed by a puff of smoke

"WHAT THE- WHO THE FUCK" frank shouted leaping up from his seat

"No need to panic, just me" said the voice again, followed by another puff of smoke and a woman  stepping out of the dark, she had on a skin tight mesh dress with another skin tight purple dress under it that was covered in stains, her bright red skin sticking out from the rest of her, her baby face and the hoop on her head.

"FUCK, A GREMLIN" frank shouted Falling on his ass and skooting back and away from the teletubbie woman.

"Your one to talk sonny" she flicked some of her cigarette butts at frank

Frank stood up and brushed himself off and fixed his hair

"Oh fuck off, why are you even talking to me" frank asked rolling his eyes.

"I saw ya crying and by this here strip joint toots" she said  gesturing her hand, with a cigarette in it, at the strip joint.

Frank rolled his eyes and shrugged "well I'm fine, now stop bothering me you wrinkly teletubbie ass hoe. capeesh?" Frank began walking away

The woman took a puff of her cigarette and followed frank

"Wait!" She half shouted reaching out for him "want to have a good time"

This caught franks attention so he stopped and looked back at her

"I'm interested, go on"

"Aight, so me and yo-"

" with you, hell no, no, nope, that's nasty"

"Hey, look here toots, i won't make you pay, you get to fuck me or have me peg ya for free, and i don't even care that you got a fuckin nub either."

"HEY"

"it's true, i would have thought you was just a lesbin by the way you look and dress and the small dick energy you give off it it wasn't for ya low voice." 

She shrugged and took another puff of her cigarette 

"I- no, you perv" frank turned his back to her

She shrugged 
"I'm just sayin I'll give you the good time without costing you a dime, I'll tickle your pickle and you ain't gotta pay a nickel, ya know toots."

Frank rolled his eyes and looked around 

He signed 

"Ugh, deal, i have nothing better to do tonight"
