12 Shots of Tequila
Shot #2: A Promise You Can't Keep
********Flashback*********
Time Lapse: 10 years back
Gerard ran through the halls, not caring that his papers were flying everywhere.
Oh god where is he, where is he?!
He saw a group of teenagers making a huge commotion at the end of the hall. Gerard pushed through the crowed and got a closer look at what they were watching.
"Well if you’ve got something to say then do it now asshole," yelled Frank.
The boy standing in front of him scowled, “You’re just a fag who thinks he can waltz in here and insult me. You think you’re so tough? Fight me!”
Frank lunged at him and brought them both to the ground. The crowd roared. Frank’s fists were flying as the other guy was trying to get Frank off of him.
Gerard couldn't move or take his eyes away from the sight. It was as if everything was happening in slow motion. Frank was drawing blood and pulled a chunk of hair from the other boy's head. He’s never seen his best friend like this before. He had to stop Frank, but it was like the floor had encased his feet, denying him of any movement. He watched as Frank hesitated and was flipped over. He watched as the other boy began furiously kicking Frank in the stomach and eventually his face. Gerard heard a crack and a sharp intake of breath from Frankie. The floor no longer contained him. Without a second thought, Gerard pulled the boy off of Frank and slammed him into a locker. He picked Frank up and ran before anyone could process what had happened.
-Time Lapse: 2 hours-
“You know I could’ve handled it myself right?”
Gerard rolled his eyes, “yeah, and that’s exactly why you’re here. You could’ve gotten yourself killed you idiot!” Frank let out a laugh then felt a sharp pain in his nose, “OW FUCKING DAMNIT!”
Gerard just shook his head, “Promise me that you won’t get into any more fights?”
Frank snorted, “You and me both know I can't keep that kind of promise.”
Gee sighed, “Then at least try not to end up here again, okay?”
Frank smiled at Gee. He was lucky to have a best friend who cared for his wellbeing this much, “I promise.”

Time Lapse: Present
Gerard took a seat, two shots isn’t helping. He just wants to forget for one night, is that too much to ask? He was already feeling a bit…different. Maybe downing another shot will help, and so he did,
