My mom came over and sat on the bed next to me.
"Frank why?" She asked

I mumbled an 'I don't know' under my breath.

"Frank this is the fourth FOURTH! Time I've almost lost you!" She cried. In my head I mentally corrected her 'six times.'

"baby please talk to me. We've only been here three days! Is it really that bad here?" She asked giving me a sad look.

"frank are the kids at school picking on you again?" she asked. I didn't answer but I guess that gave her my answer.
"Ugh frank I'm sorry. What do they even pick on you for I mean name one reason!"

"I'm a suicidal faggot."

"frank don't day that about yourself. There's nothing wrong with being gay, and I'm sure you'll find someone eventually." She said hopefully.

"Ya ill date someone then well get serious and he'll see my scars and leave me." I said harshly.

"When exactly did that start?" She said pointing to my hips. Shit I forgot she didn't know.

"I don't know." I said barely loud enough to hear.

"Frank please don't lie to me."

"Fine like four months ago."

I looked up at her and noticed she had begun to cry. "Mom don't cry."

"No! It's my fault that your like this!" She cried. "I never believed you about your dad and then things went to far and I still didn't believe you until after everything!"

"Mom this is not your fault. I just have issues...."

"yea but they could've been prevented! I can't even look at your dad after-"

"don't talk about him!" I snapped

"frank I haven't talked about him once in three years and-"

"mom stop!"

"Frank wether or not you like it he's your father! I still haven't even talked to him except at court and it's time me and you talk about him-"

"he is not my parent You are! not him! Now please drop it!" I snapped at her aggressively.

She looked taken aback at my tone but quickly composed herself. "Frank I'm trying I really am trying to make your life better. Just tell me what I can do to help!"

"Mom you don't have to do anything. but I'm staying home from school for a couple days I'm not going in after..."

"Frank there is absolutely no way I'm letting you stay home by yourself after this! you are going to go to school."

"making me go will just make things worse." I said quietly.
"frank is it really that bad already?"
I nodded and she sighed.

"Fine. you can stay home but If you don't answer a call or text from me you will never be allowed to stay home again."

I nodded and mumbled thank you to her.
"frank get some sleep you've had a long day." She said before getting up and leaving my room.

time lapse
gees pov

I hadn't seen frank in three days. After what I saw I was pretty worried. I had honestly thought he had died. Frank having that anxiety attack in front of me seriously shook me up. It was terrifying to watch.

Mikey had had also been pretty quiet these last couple days. Mikey was quiet in general in front of everyone except me but lately he wouldn't say more than he had to.

I walked to lunch and went to sit with mikey, ray, and bob, but it ended up just being me and mikey since ray and bob had landed in detention.

"Hey mikes." I said but only received a head nod in return. It was weird for mikey to be acting like this.

"Do you know where franks been?"

As soon as I asked mikey nearly chocked on his lunch.
"whoa mikey what's wrong?" I asked

"why? I thought you hated frank." He said completely ignoring my previous question.

"I never said I hated him. I said he was an emo faggot." I replied.

"you should quit calling him that." Mikey mumbled barley loud enough for me to hear.

"Excuse me?"

"I said you should quit calling him that." He said agin but this time louder and with confidence in his voice.

"why should I?"

"nothing just forget it." He said going back to eating his lunch,

"no mikey go ahead and tell me I'd love to hear your reasoning." I said mockingly.

"Gee I'd just back off him ok." He said then stood and left the cafeteria.

I stood and went To find him but the bell rang so the halls were now filled with people. I only had math this afternoon so I decided to ditch and maybe stop by ieros.

mrs. Iero seemed nice when we met her and I doubt she'd let frank stay home for three days just because he wanted to. I walked to franks but ran into my house and threw my backpack in my room. For some reason I stopped to brush my hair and make sure I looked decent before I walked next door.

I went up to franks door and knocked. To my surprise franks mom answered. She must've been off today because from what I know she a nurse and works almost all day.

What at surprised me even further is when frank walked down the stairs with nothing but underwear on, and hips were taped up with gauze. The creepy part was that the gauze was soaked in blood. Frank hadn't seen me yet and began talking to his mom obviously not know I was there.

"hey mom don't get mad but I kinda pulled t the stitches and they started bleeding-"
he stopped talking so I'm guessing he saw me.

"Frank gerard is here." Him mom said kindly.
"I'm not fucking blind I can see that." He said sharply. "Now ell him to fucking leave!" He snapped before running back upstairs.

I had never once found another boy attractive in my life until I saw frank in just his underwear. He was actually really good looking.

"I'm sorry he's been acting like that the last couple days and won't talk to me." His mom said snapping me out of my thoughts. Before she could ask me to leave I spoke up. "Can I try to talk to him as a friend?" I asked hoping she'd say yes.

She he took a few seconds before deciding. "Yea it's worth a shot but he might not want to talk." She said before stepping aside inviting me into the house .

i walked upstairs to franks room and opened the door frank was just sitting on his bed still just in underwear.
"Mom go away." He said not looking up. He sounded like he was crying.

"Frank?"

His is head shot up at my voice. "What the fuck!" He yelled grabbing the closets pair of pants and throwing them on but not bothering with a shirt.

"Why are you here?" He snapped. "If your here to make fun of me or hit me again I've been trough enough this week so please just leave."

"actually I stopped to see why you hadn't been in school." I said stepping. Closer to him. He just started at the floor not looking up at me. I sat on his bed and he mumbled something under his breath but I didn't hear it.

"What?"

He looked up at me and his face confirmed my original thought that he had been crying.

"fucking leave. You hate me anyways so just go."

"I never said I hated you."

"Well your actions made that part clear so wanna leave now?"

"no I'm not leaving until I get an answer as to why you weren't in school all week so far." I replied.

He he again averted his gaze to his lap instead of me. "Listen I don't wanna talk about it ok?" He said sounding like he was about to cry again.

"Why-HOLY SHHIT FRANK YOUR BLEEDING!" I yelled pointing at the giant red spot soaking through his sweat pants. 'Shit' I heard him say to himself.

He called his mom upstairs and asked me to leave the room for a minute which I only agreed to because of his mom. Ten minutes later his mom came out of the room But told ms frank was changing and not to go in yet.

I gave him like three minutes and walked in. I wasn't expecting what I saw. Frank was standing in front of a mirror in just boxers again and he was crying. I noticed he was staring at his wrapped up legs.

Both the legs were gauzed from the knee up. I walked closer to him but he must've seen me in the reflection on the mirror because he turned to me.
He looked straight into my eyes "are you fucking happy now?" He said gesturing to his legs. I had no idea what he meant but I had a feeling he was about to tell me.
