It Started With An Alright Scene

Gerard's Pov
It's been two weeks since Frank got arrested. They won't let me see him. It's tearing me apart. I can't eat or sleep. Being without him is slowly killing me. My parent of course think i'm just going through some depressed phase because they don't know that the only person I love is behind bars. Frank goes to court tomorrow. Since our town is so little, they are going to have it on the news. Any news is big news and right now, my Boyfriend;s fate is the biggest news they have. I'm going to watch it since that's the only way i'll be able to see what happens. Sadly, my parents have decided that i need to go to school today since i haven't been all week. I look over at my alarm clock. It says 5:17. I still have a while. I lay my head back and think of what may happen tomorrow. At 6:30 i'm a mess. I can't stop crying. I get out of my tear soaked bed and walk to the bathroom. My eyes are red and puffy and my nose is pink. I'm too sad to even put on regular clothes on. I just grab my bag and Go get in my car. I take the long way to school because the short route passes Frank's house and i'm not quite ready for that yet.
when i get to school i go to my locker and grab one of Frank's hoodies that i took from him a while back. I slip it on. It smells like cigarettes and vanilla. His scent. I walk right into my class and sit down. I dont even care that people are staring at me. Im used to it. I stared blankly at the back of the head of the girl in front of me for the whole class. I counted how many freckles she had on her neck. 19. Too many. When the bell rang it scared me. I jumped. I got up out of my seat and went into the bathroom. I pulled out my notebook for the first time in weeks. I started to work on my song again.
-If i'm so wrong, How can you listen all night long?
Now will it matter after i'm gone, because you never learned a god damn thing.
You're just a sad song with nothing to say about a life long wait for a hospital stay. And
if you think that i'm wrong, this never meant nothing to ya.-
I stayed in the bathroom listening to music for the rest of the day. When I heard the last bell ring i got off the sink and walked to my car. I turned up pencey prep and eventually found myself at Frank's house. I got out of my car and grabbed the spare key he keeps under a dead plant. I unlocked the door and went inside. It seemed so empty without his high pitched giggles filling the whole house. I walked to Frank's room and layed down on his side of the bed. I closed my eyes and finally slept for the first time in weeks.
I was awakened by the sound of the front door opening. I smiled and hopped out of the bed and skipped to the front door to greet Frank. I stopped dead in my tracks when i saw a police officer there. It all hit me like a ton of bricks. I dont know how i could have forgotten all of that. "Excuse me, who are you?" He spoke up. "Im Gerard. Im dog sitting for Frank while he's.... away." Frank doesn't even have a dog. "I've come here to gather a suit for Mr. Iero to wear to court tomorrow." I told him to wait there and i went back into Frank's room and opened his closet. I pulled out and all black suit with a red tie and black VANS. I went back into the the living room and handed them to him. He said thanks and left. I went back to Frank's bed and slept, this time for the whole night.
I woke up and saw that the clock read 12:56pm. I slept a long time. Frank's Court hearing started in 4 minutes. I got out of the bed and sat on the couch with the remote. I clicked on the t.v. and turned it to the local news station. It showed Frank. He was wearing the suit i chose for him. I jumped off of the couch and went to sit on the floor in front of the t.v. like a young child watching cartoons. Frank turned his head and smiled at the camera.
Frank's Pov
I smiled at the camera. Gerard must be watching. He knows that i had court today and that it would be on the news. I can tell he picked this suit too. Everything about it just read Gerard. "Please rise for the judge." A police officer said. I did. I looked at the judge. She was a small woman with black hair. She looked to young to be a judge. May 23 years old. She had shoulder length hair and porcelain skin. "You may be seated." she said. I sat down and looked over at Jack. He was wearing a grey suit with an orange tie. It didnt really match. "Mr.Lincoln, You have accused Mr. Iero for abusing and harassing you. Do you realize what a heavy accusation that is?" He nodded his head. "Yes, your honor." Mr. Iero, you say that you didn't touch him. Am i correct?" I nodded my head.
The rest of the trial went quickly. The judge mainly was on my side because every time she asked Jack why i may have wanted to beat him up, he kept coming up with different reasons. He couldn't exactly say i beat him up for beating up my boyfriend because he would get in trouble for almost killing Gerard. We were waiting on the jury to come back and tell us if i was guilty or not. As if on cue, they all came walking back into the room and took their seats. One man with graying hair went to the judge and gave her a slip of paper, then went and sat down in his seat. "Mr. Lincoln, we have no evidence that Mr. Iero touched you. You have placed a major accusation on him, so you will spend the next few days in counseling to maybe help your overactive imagination. As For you, Mr. Iero, you are free to go. We will not be putting you in jail. After you sign a few papers, you can leave and go home." I felt a huge grin make it's way across my face. She slammed the gaffel thing down and then left. I turned and walked out of the room to sign whatever papers i needed to. When i was done, I walked toward the front doors. It was covered by cameras and people talking to the cameras. There was no way i was going to get to my car through all of them standing out there like that. I went out the front doors and was bombarded by questions from tons of different people. Why was this case so big? Stupid small town. Every court case is news worth. I tried to push through them but i couldnt. I looked over to where my car was and saw Gerard smiling leaning up against the passenger door. I all of a sudden had tons of strength and pushed my way through the people and over to him. I wrapped my arms around his waist and connected my lips with his. I dont care if people know im gay. Then the thought went through my mind.... Gerard is a minor. I could be put in prison for this. I broke the kiss and turned around to see if anyone had seen me kiss Gerard. When i turned around, i saw every sing person standing there staring at us with their mouths open.... and every camera pointed at us...
