Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiven

Gerard's POV.
Wow someone did something for me, I thought to myself. I looked up at the wall above my head, it had a ‘how to live healthily’ poster on it. I was in the nurses' office at school. The nurse had wrapped a bandage around my side and put some sort of antiseptic on it, I don't know what it was but it sure did sting, but there were other things on my mind so It wasn't that big of a deal right now. Who was that girl? Was what was on my mind, she was nice, really nice. No one had ever protected me like that and I did get into a lot of difficult situations with ‘bullies’ and other things. Her name was Jessica I think, I might have seen her before now in school or around. She was 15 I think, only a year younger then me. I wonder what made her want to help me? a miserable little fuck like myself. But if she'd help me then I should get to know her, thank her for what she did. Pretty much save my life I guess…

The nurse came back in and she was with the nurse. The girl was there Jessica, why had she stayed? Was it just because she was a nice person? Or was it something else, did she actually care? I went to sit up when I realised that I wasn't wearing a top, the nurse must have taken it off to wrap the bandage around me. Well this was embarrassing, I was ashamed of what I was, a skinny, pale, loser, weak with no muscles. I went to grab my top when the nurse rushed towards me stopping my hand from getting my top “ no, don't tense! I will put it on for you, you're badly hurt you know” I sat still and gave her the top “Honey could you come over here please, I need some help getting the shirt over his arms, be gentle will you”
Oh god no the nurse was going to get Jessica to put my shirt on with her, this was humiliating enough without her having to dress me, man did I need a cup of coffee right now.

They had both got my top on, quickly too, and I was sitting upright, listening to the nurse go on… “ you know if it wasn't for you, he could have been dead” She patted Jessica on the shoulder I over exaggerated a gasp. “well not dead, but badly hurt, you know. You should thank her” I didn't like this, “thank you for ‘saving my life’” I said sarcastically. She laughed “ it was my ‘pleasure’” she replied, mocking my sarcasm “well I have to get off to another room, you” she said pointing at me “don't move, and you” she said pointing at Jessica, “take care of him for me, I won't be long”

When the nurse had left things were even more awkward than before “so…” I mumbled “so…” she mimicked me “what happened out there, why were they picking on you?” She asked me “oh I’m used to it, well not something, this bad” I said pointing at my bandage “loads of people take this piss out of me and I tend to just ignore it, sometimes I argue back but there are always more of them so they always win” “oh, well that’s not good, I'm sorry," she said mocking herself “but why do they do it?” she asked “they think I’m weird just because I wear eyeliner, draw a lot and listen to different music then they do, its pointless” “yeah I get what you're saying" she agreed

She changed the subject “ I see you're wearing a pierce the veil top, you like there music?” Did she actually just ask me that, what? How does she know who they are. “Cause I do! My favourite song is... Urmmm I guess disasterology, I love it” “ I love that song too; can we create something beautiful? -”
"- and destroy it, nobody knows I dream about it!” I finished off the lyrics Could this be real, she’s into the same things as I am.
I have to ask her to hang out with me, and ray, but me first.
“so what are you up to after school on Friday?” I asked eagerly
“nothing, have to go home, I guess, pick up my sister from school”
“cool, how old is she?”
“13” Jessica replied
“how comes she doesn’t come here?” I asked
“ she got into evergreen academy, for the gifted and talented, only because she could play the flute, cello, piano and guitar”
“That’s amazing! I can only play the triangle” I admitted
“and the cymbals” she added and we laughed.
Nows my chance to ask...“if you want you could come to starbucks with me? Then maybe we could go back to mine? I have a little brother the same age as your sister, maybe they could hang out?”
“Oh yeah, I would love that, sounds like a plan, great to get my sister a friend so she will be out of my hair!”
“sure, my brother too.. Okay see you then, you have to get back to class the nurse is coming back anyway” I added
“okay, see you tomorrow…bye. WAIT you didn’t even tell me your name!” She stopped at the door
“Gerard W-Way, and yours?” I asked just in case
“Jessica Hayward” she answered “but everyone calls me Jess, see you around Gerard”
“see you” I waved to her as she left the room.
