I drive around the parking lot and see Brent’s car. I bite my lip, realizing the only empty space is beside his fucking car. My nerves are even more shot, when I notice Brent sitting in his car. I groan. Frank gives me a confused look and I frown in response. Mikey gasps, noticing the problem at hand. Ray and Frank also catch on.
“Just park somewhere down the street-“ Ray is cut off by the warning bell.
“He wont try anything with all of us... r-right?” Mikey fails to comfort me.
Frank shakes his head “Nah, He’s a coward.”
I bite my lip and pull into the space beside Brent. I take out the key and sneak a glace to see if he noticed who parked beside him. Yeah... he noticed! He has a maniacal grin and this hateful glint in his eyes. I am now chewing on my bottom lip as I unbuckle my seatbelt. Brent’s grin grows as he steps out of his car. I grab my backpack and get out. Big Mistake. It turns out that Brent couldn’t care less if Ray, Frank and Mikey were there. I am now on the ground, clutching my bleeding nose. What the fuck! Brent snickers and before anyone can react, he’s on his way to class. Frank helps me up and sighs.
“You have got to stand up to him!” Ray frowns.
Frank rolls his eyes “Standing up to Brent if you have no fighting experience... would lead to worse then a bloody nose.”
Mikey nods “And... I prefer having my beat up brother alive.”
I roll my eyes and storm to the nurses office. They, of course, follow. The nurse gasps when I walk in and helps me clean my nose, and face, and we have to call mom for a shirt, seeing as this one is pretty much covered in blood. Last fucking time I EVER wear a white shirt! I sigh and listen to Frank explain what happened.
“What was the student’s name?” Nurse Meg asks.
I sigh.
“Brent-“
“N-No!” I cut Mikey off.
Mikey frowns “Maybe if we report him, he’ll back off!”
“Maybe if we report him he’ll fucking kill me!” I yell.
“Now where is all of that rage when Brent is around, Sugar?” Frankie grins.
“Well, I’m not fucking frightened that Mikey is going to murder me!” I glare at him.
“Language Mr. Way. Nice to hear you talking...” Nurse Meg says “I’m assuming Brent Scott?”
Ray, Mikey and Frank nod.
“Ugh! DO you fuckers want me to die!”
“I’ll call the office..” Nurse Meg grabs the phone.
“HELLO! AM I NOT FUCKING TAKING?!”
She sighs “Busy, I’ll just wait until your mom gets here.”
“YOU PUSH ME TO TALK ALL THE FUCKING TIME AND WHEN I DO I’M IGNORED!”
“Gerard Arthur Way!” mom walks in “I can hear you screaming down the hall!” she gasps “Oh Gerard!”
I snatch the shirt from her and walk into the bathroom. I take off my bloody shirt and throw it at the trash can, missing. I growl and pull on my other shirt. And listen to them through the door.
“What is wrong with him?” Mom asks.
“Well.. Brent punched him, we came to the nurses office and we’re reporting Brent.” Mikey shrugs.
I scream and kick the door. I can’t help but wonder where the fuck this rage came from... I shove my bloody shirt into the trash can and look at the door. I don’t really want to be in there after the ridiculous fit I’m throwing... I kick the door again.
“Gerard, you’re needed at the office.” Mom says through the door.
I groan and swing open the door and storm to the office, not looking at any of them. Someone, probably mom or Mikey, is following me. I ignore them and keep walking, but I can hear them speeding up. When they call out my name, I find I was wrong about who it is.
“Gerard!” Frank grabs my arm.
I snatch it away and continue walking.
I hear Frank let out an annoyed groan as he grabs my arm again, more firmly, stopping me.
“Gerard calm the fuck down!”
I groan and pull tufts of my own hair. Frank leans me against a wall.
“Look, You can’t go into the office all pissed off like this, it’ll give the illusion that he isn’t the only one at fault. You gotta go in there all hopeless and quiet, ok? Then he will get suspended for sure. And we’re not trying to get you killed. We’re trying to help. I know that this will piss him off even more, but he needs to know that there is some sort of consequence to what he’s doing! And seeing as you can’t fight him, this is the way to go. So, relax Sugar, Its gonna work out.” He pulls me into a hug.
I hug him back and freeze in fear as I catch a glimpse of Brent, heading to the office.
“I-I can’t do it! He’ll kill me right in front of Principal Tiler!”
Frank squeezes my hand “No, he wont.”
“Principal Tiler will expect me to speak! I-I can’t! And he’ll get annoyed at me for it, he always does!”
Frank smiles “Want me to go and tell him what happened?”
I nod.
We walk into the office and Brent sends me a glare that clearly states: You sir, are dead!
I bite my lip. There are three seats in the office, I take the one furthest from Brent, and Frank happily takes the middle seat. Principal Tiler raises an eyebrow.
“Who are you?”
“Frank Iero. I know I’m not exactly involved, but since Gerard doesn’t talk I thought I’d give his end of the story.”
“He can’t do that, Gerard has to!” Brent frowns.
“Gerard is mute Brent, he isn’t able to. So, Mr. Iero you may stay. So what happened?”
“Gerard got out of his car and got punched in the face by Brent.” Frank tells him “Yesterday, He shoved Gerard inside his locker and scratched Fag onto it.”
Principal Tiler frowns “I’ll be looking at that Locker Mr. Scott!”
Brent shrugs “I was just teaching him a lesson. ‘Swrong to be gay. I’m trying to help him really.”
My eyes widen Trying to help?
Principal Tiler looks at me, then back to Brent “Noble as your intentions were, it is still against school rules to bully. You have detention for... three days.”
“Three days?” Frank agues “I don’t see how that’s fair! Fighting is automatic suspension!”
“No Mr. Iero it is up to me what-“
He holds out the hand book “No, It is right here, in black and white “Any fighting among students results in automatic suspension for three days or more.” See?”
Pricipal Tiler shrugs “Very Well, Iero, the three of you are suspended for a week.”
I turn pale I’ve already missed so much!
“Gerard didn’t do anything, and neither did I! I would understand if we fought back, but we didn’t!” Frank argues.
“The suspension still stands, Mr. Iero.”
Frank glares at him “Then I might as well do something to deserve it!” he turns around, and punches Brent in the face “Just because you’re bigger then someone doesn’t give you the right to treat them like shit! And the fact that you do, with them being so much smaller makes you a fucking coward!”
My eyes widen as I watch Frank hit Brent again.
“MR. IERO!”
Frank moves away from Brent and grabs my hand, “Come one, lets fucking leave.”
A small smile appears on my face as we run to my car.
I don’t drive to my house, Frank’s house, or even Ray’s. I drive to the only other person I can talk to with such ease. Frank raises an eyebrow, but remains silent as I continue the drive to her house. I pull into her driveway, relieved to see her car, seeing as I didn’t call in advance. I unbuckle my seatbelt and smile at Frankie.
“You’re about to meet one of my favorite people in the world!”
He gives me a nervous smile “Should I be afraid?”
I chuckle “No, come on!” I get out and run to the door.
I knock three times, then twice, then four times. Frank raises his eyebrow and chuckles. The door swings open.
“Gerard I know you’re supposed to be in school!” Gramma Elena grins at me “Who’s you’re friend here?”
“Gramma Elena, this is Frankie. Frankie, this is my grandmother, Elena.”
“Frankie?” she smiles “Gerard... is this the Frankie you’ve texted me about?”
I blush “The only Frankie I know, so yes...”
She smiles “Well come on in, and explain why you’re not at school Gerard Arthur.”
Frank and I tell her the whole story. She listens, throwing in a few gasps and such. In the middle of telling her, I get a frantic call from mom, so I let Frank tell the rest and I go into my room at Gamma Elena’s.
“Gerard where the hell are you two?
“S-sorry I’m at Gramma Elena’s... Frank and I are suspended for a week.”
“Yeah, I know! Why would you hit Brent in front of the principal?”
“I didn’t hit him at all and Frank did, only after trying to reason with Principal Tiler about me getting suspended. When he couldn’t change his mind, he punched Brent and said he may as well do something to get suspended...”
Mom sighs “Gerard why would the principal lie?”
“BECAUSE HE’S A HOMOPHOBE! He was on my side until Brent mentioned that it was wrong for me to be gay, and he was just teaching me a lesson!” I yell through the phone.
“I don’t know but you’re both suspended for a week. Are you staying at Gramma’s?”
“I don’t know... I haven’t asked yet.”
“Well let me know I have to calm Mikey down.. Love you.”
“Love you too mom...”
I hang up and rejoin Gramma Elena and Frankie.
Gramma Elena chuckles “Yes, GeeGee’s always been like that. One minute he’s fine, the next he’s ready to kill. It depends on the people he’s around, really. When its just Gerard and I, he’s usually calm. He also tends to turn panic or sadness into anger quickly.”
I decide to make my appearance “So, according to Principal Tiler, we beat the shit out of Brent right in front of him and that’s why we’re suspended.”
Frank rolls his eyes “Homophobes...”
Gramma Elena nods “And that’s exactly what it is. Now, since you two don’t have school, would you like to spend the night?”
I look over at Frank “Would it be okay with your mom?”
He shrugs “She’s too messed up to notice...”
“Poor Dear... Well You can stay here tonight. Gerard has clothes here that you can borrow, I think they’ll be a little big, but they’ll do!”
Frank nods “So Mrs. El-“
“No, no Frankie. Gramma Elena, Gramma or Elena. No Mrs.” She smiles.
Frank nods “Gramma Elena... I like that.”
She smiles “Me too. Gerard came up with that when he was little and it stuck.” she stands up “Now, I’m going to take a nap and then we can discuss dinner, I know you’re a vegetarian Frank, but remind me when I wake up.”
I lead Frank into my room. He gasps at all of the drawings hung up on the walls. He then points to one in particular, that makes me blush.
“Gramma Elena loves that one... it’s the one that made her realize that I’m gay, hell I didn’t even know...”
The drawing is of two boys holding hands. One of them is me, the other looks... a lot like Frank
“That looks like.. Me.” he tilts his head.
I nods “I just noticed that myself...”
He grins “Maybe we really were meant to be!”
I kiss his cheek “I think that every time you smile. Every time you kiss me. Every time you calm me down.” I love you! What? Did I just think that?
He grins and pulls me into a hug “You really don’t know the effect you have on me do you?”
I shake my head “N-Not really.”
He sits on my bed and gestures for me to follow. I sit beside him and he smiles and takes my hand into his.
“Gerard... My mom is so fucked up, she really doesn’t know when I’m there and when I’m not. I tried to sober her up and it didn’t work. She wants to be this way! I hate to say it, but I’ve honestly given up on her. Gerard, honey you take that pain away. And, in other high schools, I got into fights all of the time. You’re keeping me out of that, with the exception of today... You’re crazy mood swings may drive other people crazy, but I honestly love it! It’s just.... part of who you are! I’m one of the few people you’ll talk to, which makes me feel EXTREMELY important. I know I’m helping you and the ways I help you are a bit more obvious, but don’t ever think that you aren’t helping me!”
I throw my arms around his neck and pull him into a kiss. He kisses back while pushing me on my back. He lies on top of me, tangling his fingers in my hair, as I do the same to him. After a few minutes I pull away and smile at him. He grins back.
“So do you think your gramma likes me?”
I nod with a smile “She loved you before she even met you Frankie... I told her about how you calm me down and how easy it is to talk to me and... everything! She wanted to meet you for herself, but I promise Frankie, she loves you!”
He smiles “I gotta say, I love her too! Talking to her is calming and... I definitely understand why she’s one of your favorite people!”
I smile “So are you.”
“I’m what?”
“One of my favorite people.”
He smiles “Likewise.”
“H-Hey Frankie...”
“Yes Gee?”
I bite my lip. Might as well tell him!
“I...I love you Frankie.” I look up for his reaction. Please say it back!!
Ohhhhh yes! I did leave THAT cliffhanger XD sorry, I couldn't resist and I'm tired so... R&R? Hope you liked it!!
“Just park somewhere down the street-“ Ray is cut off by the warning bell.
“He wont try anything with all of us... r-right?” Mikey fails to comfort me.
Frank shakes his head “Nah, He’s a coward.”
I bite my lip and pull into the space beside Brent. I take out the key and sneak a glace to see if he noticed who parked beside him. Yeah... he noticed!
