My Burning Romance
Your Kiss and I Will... Surrender?
*Alicia's POV*
I walk up the schools driveway holding Jake's hand. Yeah, yeah whatever I'm stupid for leaving Mikey and Jake is a dick and I was a bitch for just leaving Mikey right after he came out of the hospital due to my current boyfriend and blah, blah yeah you could go on forever, but I realized Mikey is too good for me, and I know he'd never want me back now, so I just decided to go back out with Jake. "Babe, I'm glad you came back to me and left that emo loser. He probably cut himself after you broke up with him. Hahaha!" Jake said evil. "Jake, cutting isn't fucking funny. Some people can die from that, think about that." I say back irritated. "Yeah, yeah whatever they should just cut deeper." he says with an evil grin. I give him a look of disgust. What a asshole. I remove my hand from him and he sneers at me. "Let's just get in the fucking school." I growl at him. Before we can walk into school we come across Mikey and Ray talking to Gerard and Frank. We move closer the eves drop. "W-we have something we want to tell you guys." I see Ray spit out nervously. This ought to be good. "M-Mikey and I are d-dating now." it takes a minute for that to sink in then it hits me. I'm pissed but jealous at the same time. MIKEY'S GAY? More or less Bi. BUT HIM AND RAY ARE DATING? "WHAT?!" I blurt out and Jake does at well. Mine was more of a jealous what while his was a "Ha, you gay fag" what. I look back at Jake, blushing, and he gives me a look of disgust. Uh, oh. I watch Gerard and Frank whip their heads around and Ray and Mikey look around them. "THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN WHAT ALICIA? YOU STILL LIKE THIS FAGGOT?" Jake yells out. "HE'S NOT A FAGGOT JAKE YOU ARE! IF I RECALL, YOU TOLD ME LAST YEAR YOU USED TO HAVE A CRUSH ON GERARD SOPHOMORE YEAR. HAVE YOU EVEN GOTTEN OVER THAT? MIKEY'S SWEET AND YEAH MAYBE I DO STILL LIKE HIM BUT NOT LIKE IT MATTERS BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE HIM AND RAY AND HAPPY NOW!" I scream back at him and the whole school is staring at me. And Mikey looks like he's about to cry. I throw my head in my hands crying and run to the girls bathroom not looking back at anyone.
*Jake's POV*
FUCKING ALICIA STILL LIKES THIS LITTLE PRICK WHAT A FUCKING BITCH! She starts screaming things at me and I don't really pay any attention until I she said something I never, EVER wanted anyone to know. "IF I RECALL, YOU TOLD ME LAST YEAR YOU USED TO HAVE A CRUSH ON GERARD SOPHOMORE YEAR!" she screamed at me. Oh my god, oh my fucking god no. She didn't fucking say that. I look over at Gerard who is staring at me mouth wide open. I look away quickly. SHIT. SHIT. SHIT. I need to get out of here. I can't look at anyone. Fuck, everyone's going to come after me now. I see Alicia book it for the bathroom and I run back down the schools driveway and I don't stop running until I get home. I run into my room and slam my door shut and lay down on my bed crying.
*Gerard's POV*
What. The. Fuck. Just. Happened?
Jake's used to have or crush on me? Or still HAS a crush on me? Is that why he beats on Frankie? Holy shit. I don't even know what to say. Before I could even say anything Jake takes off running. I kind of feel bad for tying him up to the tree. He was just one of those kids that didn't know how to handle their emotions. But at the same time I don't feel bad because of what he did to Mikey. I look over at Frank to see how he is taking this. I'd say just as well as I am because he looks speechless.
*Frank's POV*
Whoa, whoa, wait, what? J-jake, the person that's bullied Gerard, beaten Mikey to a pulp, and pick on me for being a fag is gay himself. AND HE LIKES GERARD? This is way too much to take in. I see Gerard stare at me looking super pale like he'd just seen a ghost. I try to say something but nothing escapes from my mouth. I should feel bad for Jake but I don't because that kid is an asshole. I could ruin his life by spilling that secret, but because I myself am not an asshole I won't and he should consider himself lucky.
*Mikey's POV*
Yeah, the whole Jake thing was quite a shock but I was more taken back by Alicia. S-she still loves me. She practically ruined Jake's entire life just to stand up...for...me? My heart starts to race but I quickly stop and look at Ray. N-no, I can't feel this way towards Alicia. I have Ray now. And I would never do that to Ray. Because I know exactly how he would feel. Sure, it was sweet of her to stand up for me like that, but I'm not leaving my FroFro. Not now, not ever.
~~~~~~~~~Time Lapse End Of School~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Gerard's POV*
The bell rings and I walk over to Frankie's locker "Are you ready to go Franks?" I ask. "No, I have a detention because I wouldn't do my english work so now I have to stay after and make it up." he says grumpily. "Aw, I'm sorry babe. Do you want me to stay after with you?" I ask. "No that's fine, go with Ray and Mikey, I'm sure Mikey could use some support right now." he says. "Alrighty, see you back home them." I give him a kiss and walk over to meet up with Ray and Mikes. "Hey guys ready to go home." I ask. "No, I'm staying after to find Alicia and talking with her." Mikey says. "And I'm walking back home with him after." Ray says. "So I guess I'm walking back alone then?" "I guess you are. We'll catch you back home though, we have band rehearsal tonight." Ray says. "Okay, see you guys later then." I fling my backpack over my shoulder and walk back to my house.
About half the way there I walk past Jake's house and see him sitting on the swings. I think he is crying. I guess I should go over and talk to him so he doesn't feel like shit forever. Although he deserves it. I walk up his steps and quietly say "J-jake? D-do you want to... talk?" I see he jump a little because I caught him off guard. "GERARD? What are you doing here." he asks wiping the tears from his face. I never ever thought I'd see Jake cry. "I felt kinda bad that you ran off becuase- er well you know. I was going to talk to you and tell you it was okay and now I understand why you have been bullying all of us." I say hushed. "Well, now you know. *sniffle* Yeah Gerard, I've had a crush on you not since sophomore, but 7th grade. I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want people to make fun of me for being gay. I know that sounds pretty hypocritical, but I just didn't know how to handle it. And then I definitely couldn't come out and say I was gay after making fun of everyone else for it because they would have beat my ass. I probably deserve it. I'm such a dickhead. I don't even deserve to live. I'm sorry for anything I've ever done to you, Mikey, or Frank." Now I really do feel bad for him. "Aw Jake, it's okay, it's really had to forgive and I can't believe I am, but I forgive you. And don't you ever say that. You do deserve to live. Everyone does. Nothing is worth hurting yourself over. Sure you might have fucked up a lot, but you can make up for it. You deserve to live Jake." I say "Thank you Gerard, it really means a lot, especially coming from you since I've done nothing but make your life hell for the past four years." he said chuckling. "I'm glad I could help you out, now I have to get going because the guys will probably freak if I'm not home before them." I say with a laugh. We exchange a hug and I walk down his porch steps back to road. Before I could make it I am spun around to find my lips match an unfamiliar pairs. Jake's.
