Frank's POV.

Of course I hadn't gone to see Gerard as soon as I'd left Ray's.

I'd gone home, ignored everything my mum had said to me about disappearing and locked myself in my room to cry.

What else could I do?

I had to think.. I'd basically cheated on Gerard, twice, and now I had to break up with him. I HAD to. Ray would tell the police about us otherwise and I couldn't risk that. I couldn't do that to Gerard.. He loved his job so much.

But I couldn't handle the thought of losing him. I had to think of a good enough reason. It was going to break my heart, but it was for Gerard's sake. I wouldn't let myself be the reason he lost his job.

I'd stayed up all night thinking, and crying, and to be honest I threw up a couple times as well. It took my mind off of what was happening, and I was feeling sick at the thought of what was happening.

Sleeping with Ray.. breaking up with Gerard.. I wasn't sure how I was going to cope.

I knocked at Gerard's door and took a small step back, my heart thumping in my chest. I didn't want to do this. This was the last thing I wanted to do. Ever.

“Frankie..” Gerard breathed and took my hand, tugging me inside. “God, what happened to you last night? I was worried.” He whispered, pressing a kiss to my lips. “Thank god you're okay.. How did talking to Ray go?” He asked, tugging me over to the sofa.

I bit my lip as I was pulled onto Gerard's lap and took a deep breath. “Gee..”

“I was worried..” He sighed, nuzzling into my neck, kissing it gently. “So worried..”

“Gee!”

He shut up. “Sorry, what..?” He whispered, stroking my cheek.

“I..” I began, though my mind went blank. Fuck I couldn't believe I was doing this.

I shuffled out of his lap and sat on the sofa next to him, tears slowly filling my eyes.

“Frankie what is it baba..?” He asked quietly.

Him calling me by my nickname really set off my tears. I sniffed and wiped my eyes with my sleeve. “We.. We're not working out..” I whispered, keeping my eyes on the floor.

“What..? I don't.. I don't understand frank..”

“We're not working.” I whispered again before standing up. “I'm sorry Gerard.. We can't be together anymore.. I don't.. I don't love you..” Fuck, that had to be the biggest lie I'd ever told in my entire life.

Gerard's face fell. “But.. But.. Yes you do..” He whispered, tears immediately filling his eyes. “Please frank.. Please don't do this..”

“I'm sorry Gerard.” I whispered, swallowing harshly. I felt like I was gonna throw up again.

“No.. No Frankie please..” Gerard sobbed. “I need you.. We're gonna get through this together..” He whimpered, standing up.

He slid his hands onto my wet cheeks and leant down, pressing our lips together. “Please..” He whispered. “I know you love me.. I know you do..”

“I'm sorry Gee..” I whispered, pulling away from his touch. Though all I wanted to do was wrap my arms around him and never let go. “I.. I have to go.. I'm sorry.. We're through..” I whispered.

I turned and walked to the front door before I could change my mind and hurry back to him. I walked out and slammed the door behind me, not stopping until I got to my house. I ignored whatever shit my mum was saying and grabbed one of her cheap bottles of wine. She wouldn't miss it.

Hell, I didn't care. I didn't care about anything any more.

I went up to my room and locked it again, before unscrewing the bottle and taking a gulp of the wine. Ugh, fuck it was disgusting.. But there was a nice warm feeling it gave. The more I drank, the number I felt.

Alcohol always went to my legs first. I usually hated the feeling, but I wanted it now. I wanted the numbing feeling it gave.

Gerard's POV.

What was I supposed to do now?

Frankie was my world.. And.. And he didn't love me anymore. I must have done something..

I knew he wouldn't be able to cope with all the shit I'd put him through. Zack. Now this.. He was only a baby. I shouldn't have gotten involved.

But how could I teach now? Especially Frank's class.. I couldn't stand there and teach. Watch him move on.. Find another guy.. I just couldn't cope with that.

I reached and grabbed my phone, my hand shaking, though I managed to call the number the police officer had given me.. Just in case I had to report anymore abuse from Zack's mum.

I had to report something else though. It was the only way out really.

“Hey.. Gerard Way here.” I murmured into the phone, trying to hide the fact I had been crying.. And basically still was. “I lied, earlier.. I was in a relationship with Frank Iero. I knew he was under age, and I knew he was my student. I knew it was wrong, but we're not together anymore.” I said quietly, before falling silent as I listened to what the police officer was saying.

“Okay.. I'll stay here, I promise.” I whispered after a moment before hanging up and putting my head in my hands.

Well I'd told the truth now.. All I had to do was wait for them to come and get me.
