I walked into home room and shot to the back.

"Hey Ray."

He smiled.

"Hey, Frank. You alright? After last night?"

I nodded.

"Fine thanks."

We fell silent as Ms. Stewart walked in. I frowned. Where the hell was Gerard and Mikey?

------------------------

In the middle of first class, Mikey and Gerard stumbled through the doors. I stared at Gerard in shock. His eyes and nose were red. He could barely walk without holding onto Mikey. I rushed over and helped him to his desk. He smiled at me and leant in his chair. Ms. Stewart looked at him in shock.

"Mr. Way, are you sure you are fit to be in school?"

He shrugged.

"Not leaving Frank alone with fuckers like Cerulli, Radke and Sykes in his class."

She nodded and continued teaching. I smiled at Gerard.

"Did you really come in just to look out for me?"

He nodded.

"Oh and this."

He handed me my Motionless in White CDs. I smiled and put them in my bag.

------------------------

At break, I handed Gerard my old Motionless in White shirt. He smiled and tore his Pierce the Veil one off, swapping it for Devil's Night (Another awesome song. I might just do a chapter at the end of awesome miw songs for you lot). Mikey and Ray were making out already. I chuckled.

"I'm gonna run to the toilet."

Gerard nodded and leant against the wall. I rushed into the building. I didn't want to leave Gerard's side at all.

------------------------

I washed my hands, thinking about Gerard. I admitted it. I fell for him. In a day.

"I've fallen for him."

"For who you little faggot?"

I jumped and spun around to find Chris and Ronnie facing me. I gulped. Chris cracked his knuckles.

"Time for you to be broken into this school."

His fist connected with my face and I heard my nose crunch as it broke. I fell down.

'Don't fight back. Don't fight back. Don't fight back. You'll kill them. Don't fight back. You'll kill them.'

The two sentences spun around my head as I took the beating. Ronnie kicked me hard in the ribs. I heard them break and cried out.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM!"

Ray and Mikey pulled them away as Gerard knelt by me.

"Are you OK?"

I felt my nose stop shifting and nodded.

"No damage done."

I stood up, having a quick look in the mirror. The redness was gone, my bones were healed. What more could I want?

Gerard.........
