Gerard P.O.V

I loved to hold him close to me, it must've been his helplessness that appealed to me- sinister, I know. He didn't object, I knew that he liked it just as much as me. To deliberately ruin the moment, I picked him up, throwing him into the water.

He rose up, scowling at me. I couldn't help but laugh as he swam back to carry out his revenge. He dived on me, pulling me underneath the water. Myself, I could see clearly. I watched him try and swim to the surface, but I grabbed hold of him, pulling him back to me. After getting to the surface he dived on me again, but this time he plunged his teeth into me. It felt like fangs, and it had pierced my skin. He pulled away quickly, completely shocked from what he had done. He looked as if he was about to cry as he watched black blood trickle out from the small puncture wound on my shoulder. His eyes grew wider than I had ever seen before, and he swam to the shore. I washed it off in the water, immediately following after him.

"Gee, what have you done to me?" He sobbed, covering his mouth. I was right, he was turning, and there was nothing that I could do apart from sucking the venom out from his blood. I had ruined what we had, I knew it for sure.

"I-I-"

"When you said that you fixed me, how exactly did you fix me?" His voice quivered in his throat. For the first time, he was afraid of me.

"You had broken ribs, a punctured lung. You couldn't breathe, so Mikey and I thought that if I gave you a small amount of venom, it'd help you. And it did, didn't it? You didn't choke to death on your own blood." I was beginning to get a little flustered, upset that he didn't seem to trust me. I loved him, and at that moment it felt like his love for me was slowly draining away into the lake before him.

"There are such things as hospitals! And plaster casts! And morphine, Gerard!" He protested, waving his arms around. He needed to stop shouting, there would be a lot of unnecessary attention drawn to us otherwise.

"I can't go to hospitals Frankie, the smell is way too overpowering for me there. I'd end up devouring an entire ward, whilst they shove an irrelevant piece of shit on something I could fix in an instant." I pinched the bridge of my nose, closing my eyes, trying not to say something that would hurt him. I could never do that to him.

"That's a little selfish." He muttered to himself, crossing his arms over his bare body. I could see the goosebumps littering his body; he was cold. There was nothing that I could do to warm him, to protect him. I was the very thing that could bring his end, and I selfishly had done so.

"You're right. Give me your arm, we'll get it over and done with, here." I couldn't look at him, instead I looked to the side with my arm outstretched. He offered a piercing stare back at me, finally I turned to him.
"You don't want to change through no fault of your own, give me your arm and I'll stop this whole thing now. Right now. Maybe I'll take you home in an hour, apologise to your mom. You can go back to life the way that it used to be. Before me."
What I said was completely hurtful, but I myself was upset. His trust in me had almost completely vanished. I had allowed myself to think that a selfish deed could save him, a small piece of my mind wishing that he'd want to be like me. Together forever.

"W-what are you talking about?" He stammered, his lips turning purple from the cold. He was shivering uncontrollably; all that I wanted to do was wrap him up in my cold, cold arms. But I didn't want to touch him through fear of what else I would do wrong.

"My venom's changing you, and it wasn't meant to be like this Frankie. All that I wanted to do was end your pain, you were in so much pain. It was killing me to see you like that, and if it wasn't for me you'd be dead in that damn forest!" I whisper-shouted, a light from a nearby cabin had turned on. Somebody could hear us; this topic was not open to public discussion.
Frank sat on a rock, icy water dripping down equally cold skin.

"Just- put your clothes on. We'll talk back at the cabin, I don't feel like getting arrested tonight." I sighed, picking my shirt up from the rock next to him. His hand twitched, he wanted to touch me. But his conscience refused to allow him to fall for me again. Instead his hands grabbed at each other on his knees, not picking up anything that could warm him up.

I waited for him to move and get dressed, I turned away, allowing him some privacy. I wasn't sure if he was mad at me; I was mad at me. He walked by my side back to the cabin, I twisted the key in the lock, the gentleman that  I had left in me allowed him inside first. He turned on the fire, sitting in front of it. I sat behind him on the couch, weighing up my options. His options...

A.N
Great news! I've passed all of the exams that I've got back so far. Considering I felt like I had failed every one of them, I am proud that my genius was showing :3 and I'm almost close to the end with his story, almost almost almost. I'm probably even more excited for the alternate ending for some odd, odd reason XD
