To The End

I stood there frozen to death. What do I do? How do I get away? Is he going to kill me? Who the hell is this man? Why am I here? Please someone help me!

“Frank dear, no need to be afraid,” the man in the middle says. I must have gulped a million times in just two minutes. My hands were sweaty and I kept wiping them on my pants, my breaths kept getting choked up in my throat, my eyes darted everywhere and I was trembling. I wanted to speak up or say anything, I just couldn’t do it. Every time I felt like say something, I couldn’t find my voice, I held back and noticed the man in the middle started to walk away from his seat.

I wanted him to stay there, I don’t want him near me, I don’t want to see his face, I want to be unknown of him. He got closer to me and I felt myself start having a panic attack. I slowly started to step back from him. Trying to distance myself from him. He starts laughing and kept coming closer to me. I start breathing fast, my heart beat was pumping almost as if it was going to burst out of my chest. I prayed for Gerard to come rescue me and save the day. I did an I inner laugh at this thought, he needs my help as much as I need his.

I gulped again as he emerged into the light. I see his strong features now. He had such strong hazel eyes like mine and he had dark brown hair to the side, looking a bit professional. He was wearing a black suit with a bow tie. He had on shiny sleek black shoes. He chuckled at me, noticing my eyeing of him.

“Frank,” he finally says after intimidating me. He stood a few feet ahead of me, smart guy.

“Do you know who I am?” he asks. I shake my head no, not wanting to talk. “Do you want to know who I am?” he asks another. I shake my head no again and gulped. He laughs at my answer. “Oh well, your about to find out,” he replies to my motions. He reached out his hand towards me and I backed up, afraid to even touch him. He noticed my resistance and quickly lunged at me making me gasp and tense up under his touch. He had such big strong hands that could easily wrap around my throat if he wanted to choke me with one hand.

He had his hands placed at my shoulders and he stared at me intently. I dare not stare into his eyes, he will get an idea that I’m willing myself up to him. “Frank look at me,” he demands. I rejected and earned a slap to my face. “Look at me,” he says again. I resisted once again and was rewarded another smack.
“Look at me dammit!” he yells shaking me. I was highly immune to his commands. He growled and grabbed my face and I shrieked in pain. He shoved me to the ground, pinning my body to the cold surface. I started crying and whimpered, hoping it wouldn’t go any further than this.

“I just asked or a simple favor and you resist me, you worthless piece of shit,” he hissed into my ear, stabbing my emotions with them. I felt the tears roll out now, he didn’t have one bit of sympathy for me. I kept crying and he kept pushing my body into the ground. It hurt like hell because of the state my body was in. Like I said, I don’t have muscle or am I a body builder.

“Now will you look at me?” he asks after my crying fit was over. I nodded and he let me up. He didn’t dare touch me anymore, but simply just asked for my gaze upon his. “Look at me Frank,” I finally obeyed and saw a glisten of hurt in his eyes. I ignored it and glared at him. He gulped and I saw the struggle he was in, trying to form words in his mind, I’m guessing.

He sighs, “Frank,” he starts, “I’m Electric DJ,” he says and I almost hacked up a lung. Gerard has been trying to get to him for a long time. What would this powerful man simply want with me? Well, I knew they were after me, but I would never imagine the controller, would possibly want me. He saw the shock flash on my face and he chuckled. “Yeah, I know, Gerard huh?” he says, reading my mind. I nodded and he smiled. “Thanks to you, your perfect little boyfriend is now stopped from destroying me,” he adds. I felt anger surge through me and I clenched my fists. He saw the anger boil up inside me.

“No need to be furious, we wont kill him, just simply torture his little mind and body, until he can tell us his intentional plans were and for also being a rebel, which is a punishment, well only if you don’t abide by the laws, and of course Mr. Way did not, he was always the odd one out, the one who took control, his own individual person, I loved that about him, which is why I put him in control, but he had to go screw it up, by quitting, that I will never understand why,” he explains, making me angrier by the minute. I knew exactly why he quit and it was a perfectly good reason.

“Now, to get to explaining another part of my relation to you,” he says and I furrow my eyebrows. He smirks and walks toward me, landing his hand on my shoulder. I shrugged him off and I see a glint of annoyance in his eye. I don’t care if I’m stubborn, I want Gerard and I always get what I want, one way or another. “Frank there is no easier way to tell you this, so I will be straight out,” he says and I just wait for his next explanation of being a complete asshole.

“Frank I am…” he stops and gulps, “ I am your father,” he announces. I felt a smile tug on my lips, I couldn’t help it. I burst out laughing and he just angrily glared at me. This was too much for me. Was this another episode of “Star Wars” because this shit was too good. He noticed why I was laughing and grabbed me by my throat, slowly gagging me. I immediately stopped laughing and tried to pry his hands off. “Now your not laughing anymore huh? You think this is funny, well seeing you struggle to breathe is funny to me,” he growls and I felt my lungs giving out on me.

“DJ, put your son down,” I hear a woman’s voice. He let go of me and I fell to the floor gasping for air, taking in every precious amount. I hear him heavily give a deep breath. “Done laughing twit,” he says. I look up and shoot a death glare at him. He smirks down at me, I quickly stood up and was ready to punch him in his face. “He doesn’t believe me,” he says, talking to the two unknown people I haven’t been introduced to yet. “Of course not DJ, he thinks his father is at home on that god forsaken land, he doesn’t know that he is his stepfather, he doesn’t know you’re his maternal father,” the woman speaks again. I stared wide eyed at him, he was looking down at me, looking like he was hurt. I had no sympathy for him, just like he had no sympathy for me while hurting me.

“Is this some kind of joke?” I finally speak up, finding my courage and my voice. He looks at me shocked at that I had spoken. “This isn’t fucking funny!” I yell. He flinched at my outburst and chuckled at my anger. I clenched my fist and lunged at him, he caught my swinging arm and twisted it the wrong way. I whimpered in pain, but I then spun around and lifted my leg for a high kick. I managed to target his face and he let go of my arm, he fell onto the floor groaning in pain. I saw that this was my chance, but as soon as I turned around I see so many minions blocking my exit. I panicked at what to do next. I noticed the windows were all glass, were they break proof? I thought why not try it.

“You fucking shit! You’ll pay for this,” I hear my so called ‘Father’ yell at me. I ignored him and began started running for a chair to grab. One of the minions ran at me and I swung my fist at him. It connected to his face and he fell back, clutching his nose. My so called ‘Father’ was challenging me. I had no time for fighting, I needed to get out and save Gerard now! I grabbed onto the chair and ran toward the window. I lifted it in the air and I hear the woman’s voice again. “You’ll regret this Frank Iero,” I looked back to her, “Shut up bitch,” I say and threw the chair at the window. “You fucking short shit!” my so called ‘Father’ yells at me and runs toward me. The chair went through the glass, wow your so protected. I watch the chair fall out the window as my ‘Father’ grabbed onto my arm. I quickly got out of his hold before he gripped any harder. I pushed him back sending him into a group of chairs. I then turned to face the open window again. The air was rushing in and I felt my hair sway everywhere. I had to jump. No other way out. I see a few minions run after me and my ‘Father’ getting up from the impact I had caused him. I didn’t hesitate for a moment, I felt the floor vanish underneath me and a rush of wind replaced it.

The ground was coming faster at me, then I knew it. I didn’t think this through properly, fuck. I’m going to die jumping off from a tall ass building. I am a complete dumb ass. I’m sorry Gerard. I closed my eyes and waited for the worst. But something caught my eye before I closed them, I reopened them and stared at a tent from under me. It looks like I’ll make it alive if I land on that. I hoped I wont miss what I’m aiming for. I felt the wind under me, coming at me fast. The ground was about to meet me, dying for my contact of crushing bones. I closed my eyes again and felt fabric and cement under me. I opened my eyes and stared at the sky. My body was numb, it hurt like hell. I realized I had landed on the tent, it stopped my fall from going any faster. I was so grateful. Thank you tent thing.

The tent didn’t stop me from hitting the cement hard though. I landed on my back and felt my spine was about to snap at any moment. I slowly stood up, grateful no one was around to see this. I finally was on my legs and I was shaky. Shaky from my close call from being dead, shaky from hitting the ground to hard, shaky from being up there with a crazy man who’s saying he was my father, and shaky from the woman who’s words ran through my head.

I slowly straightened my back and slowly kept breathing in and out. I felt old, because I was hunched over. It took me a while to get used to my painful condition, it’ll heal later. My main focus, finding Gerard.

I started walking onto random streets, not knowing where I was going. I could care less if people looked at me and noticed I was wearing no mask. I wasn’t the only one thought, there were others who were maskless. I was panicking and scared that I wouldn’t find Gerard. They obviously would take him to jail. Where was it at though? I had asked a couple people, but those jerks ignored me, like I was on some crack or something. I finally spot a map on the street and quickly ran to it. I looked at all the facilities in the city and spotted “Malefic City Penitentiary.” I squealed and was jumping in joy I had found it. Doesn’t mean he will be there though, but I had to try.

So I quickly remembered the street names and started my journey to “Operation Save Gerard.”
