This chapter wasn't boring at all; I loved it! :D
I think it was great to get into Frank's head and see what he thought of it all. I could clearly see that he cares a hell of a lot about Mikey and how desperate he is for him to just be safe and happy. Gerard and Frank only want what's best for Mikey, but by making him go to school they know that he's going to end up hurt and most likely relapse into who he used to be. Possibly even worse. It's all well and good Frank telling Mikey not to worry, but all three of them know that school will be a living hell for him without his two protectors.
I loved Mikey's little outburst, not only did it fit in with his character but it also made it clear just how frightened/tense he is about going back.
I can't wait to see what happens next! :D

Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it. I thought it was kind of dull. You seem to have a good sense of hat Frank is thinking and I'm glad that it came through alright. Gerard and Frank both know what school can do to Mikey now that he is alone. I'm really happy that you think Mikey's outburst fits into it okay. I was afraid it was going a little too far off the point. So I'm delighted that it brought through how frightened he really is. Thank you very much for your lovely review. I will have another chapter up tonight! :)
