Come closer

I looked deep into his eyes. I didn't want to believe him but, I did. "I don't believe you" I gulped. He looked down at his feet "I'm sorry" he said. I left the room and burst into tears. Frank can't be a druggie. He's not that kind of person.

The day dragged on through school and all I could think about was Frank. I decided to confront him on the way home.

I was driving home and I was running through my head on what to say. Do I just come out with it or do I sugar coat it? Before I could decide I was turning into his driveway. My heart was beating out of my chest, I felt like I was about to be sick.

I opened the door to see him sat on the couch watching TV. I went up and sat next to him and started playing with his hair. "Gerard told me something today" I said softly. "Yeah" He replied, not looking away from the TV. "He said that you and him have known each other for a long while and that you're keeping something from me" I began. He then turned and looked at me, he looked kinda nervous. "He said you do drugs. Is he lying Frank" I asked. He didn't reply. "He's telling the truth isn't he" I asked. Still, Frank didn't reply. He looked away. "Frank, say something" I pleaded. "I do, I'm addicted and I have been for a while and I don't want this to affect us. I love you Veronica" He replied, moving closer. Tears began to roll down my face. "What do you do" I asked. "Cocaine" He whispered back. That's one of the worst. "Frank, please" I pleaded. More tears came down my face. "Are you disappointed in me" He asked. "Well a little" I replied. He started crying too.

***The next day***

Frank was still making me go into school and because of recent information, I'm wondering if hes making me go so he can do drugs. "Frank, promise me you won't do any while I'm at school" I asked him with puppy dog eyes. "I'll try, it's harder than what it seems" he replied. I was glad he was making an effort for me. I called up Kellin and asked if he could pick me up and he was totally fine with it.

I got in the car and waved Frank goodbye from the window. "Who's that cheeky boy" Kellin asked in his camp voice. "That's Frank" I replied. I looked over to Katie and she looked away, she was still mad with me. Honestly, she was being really pathetic. I kissed Mr. Way and then she gets all upset. It's not like she had a chance with him if it? We arrived at school and me and Vic walked to form. We walked into the room and there were no students. Only Mr. Way who was sitting at his desk with his head in his hands and a flask on the table. "Sir, you okay" Vic asked, walking over to him. He lifted his head up and looked at us. His eyes were bloodshot and tear stained. His hair was a mess and his tie was crooked and his top button was undone. He stank and sweat. "I'm fine" he replied with his croaky voice. "That's not coffee is it sir" I asked, pointing to his flask. "Nah" He began "Vodka" he announced. Oh my god he's wasted. "Why are you like this" Vic asked. "Shit happens kid" he replied, laughing. "We need to get him out of here" I told Vic. "You're right" Vic replied, grabbing his arm. "Are you gonna help me or not" Vic asked. I grabbed his other arm and put it over my shoulders to help carry him outside. We got outside and realized we had no way of getting him home, he couldn't drive like this. "Call Kellin, he might drive him home. It's not like he goes to form anyway" I told Vic. Vic pulled out his phone and called Kellin and told him to meet us in the car park. Kellin came out and when he saw a drunken Mr. Way, his face filled with shock. "What the fuck have you done" He asked. "We haven't done anything. He's pissed and we need to get him home so, any chance you can drive him" Vic asked. "Okay but, hes sitting in the back and spray something on him, he stinks" Kellin replied. Me and Vic picked Mr. Way up again and took him over to Kellins car and put him in the back where I was forced to sit next to him. He kept falling on me and that wasn't too pleasant since he was dirty and greasy. "Mr. Way, stop" I ordered, pushing him off. "Why do you call me Mr. Way here but Gerard outside of school" he asked. Vic and Kellin looked at me as if to say 'you see him outside of school?'. "He's friends with Frank" I told them. "Because, in school you are my teacher but outside of school you're an asshole" I told Gerard. Vic and Kellin laughed.

We were driving to Gerard's house with his confusing drunken directions when we realized, we were in the worst part of Jersey. Kellin locked the doors and everyone fell silent as we looked out to the poverty ridden streets. We pulled up to a house that was practically falling down. "Is this where you live" I asked him. "Yeah" he laughed. I was surprised. I didn't think someone would be living here on a teachers salary. Kellin unlocked the doors and told Gerard to get out because he was making his car smell like shit. I got out as well and held Gerard up until he got in his house. I walked up the street and Gerard opened his door and went in. I was walking back to the car on the other side of the street when I felt someone grab my mouth. They pulled me back and I tried to escape but they were too strong. They picked me up and threw me over their shoulders, I kicked and screamed but no one came. I was then thrown into the back of a van and the doors were locked.
