Frank walked with Gerard up to Mikey and Claude's class room. Frank felt uneasy in Gerard's presence after his outburst today. Several time throughout that lesson he notice Gerard mumbling to himself. It became quite apparent to Frank that there was something wrong with Gerard, but ever the polite young man, Frank decided to take it up with Mikey so he didn't cause Gerard any distress.
"Frank! Gerard!" Mikey breathed a sigh of relief. That was until he noticed the air of unease around Frank. Claude walked beside him slowly. Also noticing Frank's unease. They both waved some what cautiously. Frank shot Gerard a nervous glance.
"Hey Mikey!" Frank said trying to hide his unease "Are we meeting Charlotte and Coral at the usual place?" Mikey nodded and grinned at Gerard.
"Good first lesson Gee?" Mikey asked. Gerard nodded, then shook his head, then nodded again, then shrugged. Mikey laughed at him and gave him a quick hug "don't worry man, it can be quite unnerving"
Frank grabbed Mikey and pulled him forward to walk with him, leaving Gerard to walk with Claude. She smiled at him softly, feeling an overwhelming protectiveness of this quiet individual. Mikey had explain his outburst this morning. He told her of his brothers schizophrenia and how the pill didn't stop the hallucinations, only watered them down.
"Hey Gerard, Mikey mentioned you liked The Smiths?" Claude smiled at him. Gerard smiled back, nodding timidly. "Wanna listen to them with me?" Claude offered him a head phone. Gerard looked around nervously before timidly nodding his head.
"Dude, what's wrong with your brother?" Frank asked upon seeing Gerard take Claude's headphone.
"Um...well, Gerard just got out of mental hospital after three years...he's um...he's schizophrenic." Mikey admitted to Frank "Doctors said he'd never be fully cured, but as long as he took he pills twice a day the hallucinating shouldn't be so bad"
Frank looked at Mikey in shock trying to see if he was lying, but his face only told of honesty and sadness. Frank looked to Gerard then back to Mikey.
"Jeez man. I'm so sorry..." Frank mumbled "ho-how did it happen?" Mikey sighed. He should of expected it, but it still hurt him to think about it.
"They don't know exactly. But they suspect it was a childhood trauma" Franks eyes asked him to say more "Gerard was five. I was four. We were staying at our granma's. We-we were sleeping" Mikey choked back a sob "Our grandad came home drunk. Granma wouldn't let him in. Said he could sleep outside till he was sober. He smashed the d-door down" Mikey bit his wobbling lip and closed his eyes to stop the tears from flowing. He took in a deep breath "Me and Gerard woke up. They were arguing really loudly...I started to cry. Gerard hugged me. Told me it was going to be fine. He went down stairs to help. The next hour, there was alot of shouting. Things smashing, people crying. Then Gerard and granma screamed...granma's screaming stopped. A door slammed. I heard Gerard screaming and crying. Then I heard him talking on the phone. He came upstairs covered in blood...granma's blood. The police came, an ambulance came. Our grandad had killed her. I never saw her body."
let a few stray tears drip down his face. Frank stared horrified. He looked to Mikey then Gerard. He hugged Mikey fiercely. Not wanting to let go. Claude and Gerard stopped as they did. Frank told them to go on and they'd catch up.
"I'm so sorry Mikey" Frank said as soon as they'd gone. Mikey let a out a sob into franks hair. His hairspray stung Mikeys eyes.
"That monster took away any chance he had at a normal life!" Mikey mumbled. His body shook with the sobs it was making. Frank hugged him and soothed him and told him it was going to be fine. When they both knew it wasn't.
"Mikey" Frank whispered after he'd calmed down. "Do you wanna go and meet the guys?" Mikey wiped away the remainder of his tears and nodded.
Frank smiled and grabbed his hand. Pulling him to the spot where they normally met their friends. As they saw them coming up Frank squeezed Mikey's hand.
"it all going to be fine"
