Even Though I Can't See You I Know You Are Beautiful Inside An Out
Chapter one: First steps to many more!
Franks (p.o.v)
BEEP! BEEP!BEEP!BEEP! The worst sound in the universe to hear on a early Monday morning! Why the fuck was my alarm even going off for! I have no early appointments today! Mom she would have set it, evil woman she can be somedays but I love her she has given so much to me. Reaching over to my bedside cupboard I reached out feeling my way for the damn alarm clock! Fiddling around I still could feel it! Did I mention I'm blind? Ligit! Can't see a damn thing, then I heard the lights steps of my mom. She walked over to my bed even though I couldn't see her I knew exactly where she was, great skill I developed being blind my hearing an knowing the exact lay out of the house I could walk freely without haveing to worry about needing my walking cane stick thing.
"Time to get up Frank" mom said calmly.
"But why! It's holidays an a Monday!" I complained I didn't go to a normal school I wanted to but my put me an a disabled school.
"Well I thought you my like to go to school at Beville High this year being your last year. An sunshine, holidays finished last week." She said...
"wait! What!!....Beville High!!....as in normal school!!" I yelled excitedly. I heard her sigh she was worried always has been since the day I was born.
"Yes.. Now get up an get ready. I already got your clothes ready they are hanging up on your closet okay?" She said before getting up.
"Thanks mom!" I reached out for her. She placed her hand on mine telling me where she was, I got up holding her hand an hugged her. Yes even an eighteen year old boy I'm still a mommies boy, but I didn't care my mom was all I had my dad left when my mom gave birth to me an they discovered I was blind, he didn't want the pressure of a kid let alone a blind one at that so he left in the dead of night. But me an mom were happy. Letting go of her I walked to my bathroom shutting the door an getting in the shower.
After finally getting dressed I have a long piece of material? What was it? Why was it with my uniform? Not knowing I threw it over my shoulder an began to walk down the stairs, so I could find my mom so she could do my hair. Yep my mom even does my hair sad but true not like I can see what I'm doing! I had a mohawk with the sides coloured red. I have a lip ring on the left side an a nose ring on the right. I don't really know how I look but my mom always says that I'm her little rocker because you know the piercings the type of music I listen to an the tattoo i got for my eighteenth of a scorpion because that sounded like a cool animal like come on its like god is saying fuck you I'm gunna make a animal that has claws six legs an a tail with a deadly poisonous stinger! Okay enough of my thoughts where is she? I can't hear her the lounge room? Walking to the kitchen i stood there an listened. Sometimes mom would play around an hide really fun actually! Next thing I felt a hand on my shoulder there she was!
"You look fabulous hunny" she said. Grabbing the long material of my shoulder I held it out.
"Mom what's this thing? Why is it with my uniform?" I said shaking it. She laughed an took it out of my hands. I stood there as she put it around my neck! Tensing up I tried to take a step back but was stopped.
"Frank dear it's a tie. You wear it around your neck tied nicely to make you look more formal it's part of your uniform. I'm not trying to kill you! So stay still please." She said calmly. Ohhhh okay... Still have no idea what is but whatever!. After finishing up on my uniform mom did my hair straightening it, gel an some hair spray.
"Thanks mom. I don't know what I'd do with out you" I said. I wonder if she knew I was gay? Not all boys have an obsession of having there hair done. Well today is the day I ask.
"Mom" I said quietly starting to freak out.
"Yes frank? Are you okay you don't sound to good?" She said panic in her voice.
"I'm fine I'm fine. I just wanted to know if you knew that umm I am-
"Gay?" She cut me off. She knew!
"Don't pull that face frank! Yes I knew I'm your mother. It's obvious too. You only ever talk to guys an go red when they talk nice about you, the way you like to have your hair oh an the tight skinny jeans. Yes frank I know your gay. An I am fine with it your my son" I felt a wave of relief wash over me.
"One more thing wait here okay" she said before running off. Where was she going? An why run? Then I heard her back in front of me.
"Stay still please. I'm going to put eyeliner on you okay it's black makeup that goes around your eyes it will make them stand out!" She said eagerly I stayed still as she touched my eyes with the eyeliner. Once finished I had breakfast an we left for my first year an last of a normal high school.
Car pulling to a stop I guessed that we were there. Mom got out an came around to my door. But before I got out she got mixi from the back. Mixi is my guide dog, black Labrador, two years old. I put my hands on my knees waiting for mixi to put her nose to my hand signaling she was there. Then I felt it the soft little cold nose pressing on my right hand, reaching out I gave her a pat an took hold of the handle lead thing she wore for me to be guided. Walking to the office I felt nervous. Sure I had mixi on my right an my mom on my left I still felt nervous an also knowing that soon I was being thrown into a world i didn't know. Listening around I couldn't hear a thing?
"Mom why can't I hear any other kids?" I asked
"There in first class, the principle thought it would be best if you came in when they were in class for the first day" she said I nodded an kept walking. Mixi stopped an stepped back, that ment stairs slowly putting one foot in front of me I felt for the step finding it I ascended up with no problems. Then mom opened the door to the office. Walking in I could feel the presence of a few people.
"Hello! Mrs Iero! An Frank are hear!" Beemed a lady she sounded old. I just stood there not knowing what to do.
"Yes he's here an eager as well. He was thrilled to hear that he was attending this school this morning!" My mom chimed in. Then I could hear steps coming toward me then stop in front of me. Someone reached out an touched my shoulder.
"Hello Frank. I'm your principle Mrs Hunt." The voice said, I reached out my hand to her shoulder an lifted my hands to feel her face doing this I kind of got an idea on what she looked like once finished I let my arm fall to her hand. Shaking it
"Nice to meet you mrs Hunt." I said quietly.
"Pleasure is all mine. Now if you may please come with me to my office an we can discuss your arrangements" I nodded an reached for my moms arm. She touched my hand with hers she was shaking.
"Oh mom it's okay! Don't cry I'll be okay! I have mixi an I'm sure the teachers will help me!" I said trying to comfort her.
"I-I know Frank it's just you look so grown up." She said.
"Mom I think you can go. I'd like to handle the rest on my own" I said confidently.
"I think that's a wonderful idea" she said then giving me a quick hug an leaving.
"Mrs hunt?" I asked
"Yes Frank are you okay?" She replied.
"Yes I'm fine. But how did my Mom look? was it light tears or waterworks going?" I laughed, she laughed as well.
"Just light tears Frank. Okay come on let's discus how this will all work out for you." She began to walk slowly, I started to follow her footsteps with mixi by my side. In a few steps we entered a room. She led me to a seat an sat me down.
"Mixi sit" I instructed firmly reaching my left hand out down low so she knew where to sit. I felt her push her nose on my hand, sitting back I relaxed.
"Now Frank since this school is quiet large an many student we decide that we would get you an aid to lead you around an help you" Mrs Hunt said.
"What! I really don't want some annoying old guide I've put up with them all my school life that's why I came here! To get away!" I said frustrated.
"Hey I'm not old I'm the same age" someone said next to me suddenly, scarring me I jumped a little. Someone else was there? How didn't I notice!
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I thought you knew I was hear?" This boys voice was beautiful so soft an sounded perfect.
"Can you sing?" I asked
"Umm yeah I guess how did you know?" The beautiful voice asked.
"I can tell by your voice it sounds beautiful" I said. He didn't say anything.
"Frank, this is Gerard Way he is in your year an volunteered to be your guide an he is a trusted student you need no fear of his capability you are them same classes an start next period. You two are free to roam the school till next period" Mrs Hunt said. I got up an began to walk to the door.
Gerard's (p.o.v)
Today's I got to meet Frank the blind student that was coming to our school. I volunteered to be his guide knowing that if it was anyone else that would only give him grief an he didn't need that for fuck sake he's blind! So I'm gunna do everything to protect him. I've already got Ray, Bob, Matt an Mikey with me to help they are my only friends here an well Mikey's my brother. Suddenly in the middle of my thoughts the door opened i turned to see Mrs Hunt walk in behind her, was the most beautiful person I have ever seen! This is Frank! My god! He is flawless! Shorter than me a bit, long piece of hair over his face, the sides red which look awesome. Lip an nose pierced! An a TATTOO! Wow I think I may be in love with him! I watched as Mrs Hunt lead him to the chair I didn't take my eyes of him I watched as he looked at her well umm not look really but um yeah anyway as she spoke than he spoke out
""What! I really don't want some annoying old guide I've put up with them all my school life that's why I came here! To get away!" He said.
"Hey I'm not that old I'm the same age" I said felt like laughing but knew I shouldn't Frank jumped at voice I didn't mean to scare him I looked to Mrs Hunt an she was smiling at us.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you I thought you knew I was here?" I said smiling he is so cute an he was facing me now he has beautiful eyes green so bright an mystical an the eyeliner made them stand out even more
"Can you sing?" Frank asked. What
"Umm yeah I guess how did you know?" I asked.
"I can tell by your voice it sounds beautiful" he said, I blushed furiously Mrs Hunt smiled at me she was the only adult in this school that knew I was gay. Mrs Hunt continued talking to Frank introducing me. When she finished which I wasn't paying much attention Frank got up, so I followed an opened the door.
Franks (p.o.v)
Gerard opened the door for me an I walked out stopping just outside. I listen for Gerard's footsteps he stepped around me an stopped in front waiting. I know I just met him but I was already starting to like him, I could tell he was a good guy I had a sense for that.
"Gerard. You don't mind if I feel your face? It helps me to know what you look like" I asked.
"Sure go ahead" he said grabbing my hands an putting them to his face. He had beautiful contours, cute nose an soft lips. I let my hands fall down once finished.
"So where are we going first!" I asked I was thrilled to be at a normal school.
"Umm I guess I could take you to where me an my friends hang. You'll like them they know about you an will help you out if you need it" Gerard said.
"There really willing to help? An what are their names?" I asked. Gerard chuckled an what a sexy chuckle that was.
"Yes they are, when I found out about you I knew I needed to be the one because people in this school are not nice an they try to attack you on your weakness an no offense you have a big weakness, an you dress like me. There names are Mikey who is a year younger an my brother, There's Bob who is in our year he's taller than you. Then there's Ray who is also in our year he has a huge Afro an is taller than me. Then there's Matt also our year an the tallest kid in our group" Gerard said grabbing my hand an pulling me forward. I nodded an began to walk, still holding Gerard's hand.
"Gerard is it okay if I hold your hand? An what did you mean I dress like you?" I asked curious not like I could see him but I knew already that he was.
"Of course you can hold my hand all year what ever makes you feel safe an I know your safe so I'm happy...ermm well, you know I wear eyeliner an straighten my hair too" Gerard said I began to blush! He wants me safe! No one besides my mom has shown this much care an could there be love?
"Thanks Gerard I feel safe holding your hand. You straighten your hair too! Today's my first day wearing eyeliner." I said happily relaxing that I wasn't the only one wearing eyeliner!
"Frank?" Gerard asked after a moment of silence.
"What's up Gerard?" I said
"It just I was wondering...umm how did you do your eyeliner so perfect? I don't mean in it a bad way!" He rushed. I laughed I couldn't help it I squeezed Gerard's hand lightly.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it... My mom did it she said it would make my eyes stand out more. I don't know why? Nothing special about em can't even see out of them" I said quietly. Gerard stopped an let go off my hand. I listened but couldn't hear him. I didn't know where I was I think we were outside?
"Gerard! Where are you! I-"
"I'm right here. Had to fix my shoelace" he laughed an so did I. Then the bell rang making me jump.
"Come on let's get to second period. Oh it's art to my favorite class." Gee said. I smiled.
"Mixi" I said putting my hand down, she barked an put her nose to my hand "good girl" I said patting her an reaching for her lead.
Walking into the art class I was nervous an grabbed Gee's hand tighter he squeezed back. Gerard lead me through the class an helped me sit.
"Hey Gerard" said a voice next to me "hey Frank, I'm Ray" oh it's Ray. I held out my hand, he placed it in mine an we shaked.
"Hi Ray nice to me you. Um you don't mind if I touch your face? It helps me to kind of know what you look like" I asked nervously.
"Yeah man sure that's cool. Here" like that he grabbed my hands an put them to his face. I felt around he had a nice face big full lips, an then I felt his hair. Curious at what Gee said I felt his hair.
"Wow! You do have a big Afro!" I laughed, Ray an Gerard both laughed as well.
"Gerard do you really explain me as Afro guy?" Ray laughed.
"Yeah, pretty much" Gerard laughed next to me. MIXI! Oh god I got so caught up! Where is she I felt around with my legs an I couldn't feel her.
"Frank she's laying down at the back of the class. She's out of the way an safe okay" Gerard said I breathed out an relaxed.
"Oh thanks, slipped my mind" I said I sat there for a moment hands in my lap feeling alone, I listened around the class more students had came in. I could feel someone in front of me, yep waving their hand in front of my face. I have great hearing an a sense for that since my family did it to me all the time.
"Yes I am blind. An I do know you are waving your hand in front of my face." I said angered a bit.
"Hey Frank I'm Bob. I'm sorry I had to check" oh Bob. I reached my hand out. He took my hand but didnt shake it? It placed it his face.
"I saw you do that to Ray. Thought you might want to do the same with me?" He asked. Oh I wonder who else saw it? Slowly feeling around he had a nice face as well, then I noticed his on his lip a piece of metal.
"Lip piercing too aye?" I smiled
"Yeah I got mine done last year. When you get yours done?" Bob asked.
"When I was fourteen same as my nose" I said tapping at my nose. Bob laughed an sat down.
"Frank there's two more people you gotta meet. An Matt's here now, did you want to meet him now" Gerard asked.
"Yeah sure where is he?" I asked.
"Right behind you" Matt said from behind which scared the shit out of me an made me yell. The class laughed an so did I, I tuner slightly in my seat.
"Hi Matt. Believe me if I could see you I would punch you" I laughed. That caused a few more laughs. So I did the same to Matt as I did with Gerard, Ray an Bob. Matt was also a nice face but nothing like Gerard. After a few minutes the teacher arrived her name was Mrs Manson. She came up to me an Gerard an I did the same to her she was pretty an young.
"Okay class for today to just kick off the year I want you to paint something that you dream to do in the future" Mrs Mason said. I reached out to my left where Gerard was sitting for his hand, he grabbed it an squeezed under the desk.
"Don't worry I'll help you" Gerard said kindly.
"Thank you. I can kinda draw apparently. I just need help to start off an a few directions to make sure it's not a mess" I said.
"Okay well me an you will work together? How does that sound?" He asked. I smiled
"That sounds perfect" I said, he let go of my hand an got up an went off to get art shit I suppose. I was sitting there waiting when i heard two girls giggling.
"Ohhh look that dog is so cute! Lets pat her" one high pitch voice said I listened to their steps before I said something.
"Excuse me" I said an the steps stopped. I kept looking forward "there is a tag on the dog, what does it say?" I asked sternly.
"On duty please do not pat me" said another annoying high pitched voice.
"Good to know that you two arnt blind either, please don't pat her if everyone goes an pat her she won't want to do her job" I said anger seeping through it really annoyed me when people did that.
"Girls leave the dog alone an let it continue to do what it's trained for which is not to be your cute obsession everytime she comes in okay" Mrs Manson said I smiled. The girls sighed an walked off.
"Them two are stupid bitchs that obsess over cute things" Gerard said next to me. I nodded an reached my hand down "Mixi sit" I commanded. Within a few seconds Mixi's nose was pressed on my hand giving her a pat she moved to under the desk in front of my legs an leaned on them so I knew where she was.
"She's such a good dog an beautiful too" Ray said.
"Yeah she excellent. Gerard at break can we go to the office please I need to call my mom" I said. I don't think Mixi should be here I don't want her to get hurt.
"Sure. Okay so what is something you want to do in the future?" Gerard asked.
"Play my guitar live in front of thousands of people" I whispered quietly so no one else could hear except Gerard. Gerard grabbed my hand.
"What kind of guitar do you play?" He asked softly. I smiled
"The electric it's a white Gibson. Well that's what my mom told me" I said.
"How well do you play?" Gerard questioned.
"Umm I think I'm okay considering I'm blind but my mom thinks I play amazingly but she's my mom she don't count" I laughed. He laughed too.
"Frank. Me an the guys except Matt have a band. And where looking for another guitarist. Did you want to join?" Gerard asked.
"Hell yes! I'd love to!" I yelled "But like I said I'm not that good?" I said Gerard laughed
"Let me e the judge of that okay?" He said. "Okay let's get to work. What hand do you draw with?" He asked.
"My left" he grabbed my hand an placed a pencil in it an put it on the paper. "Okay so how's this gunna work?" He asked
"Okay well I remember what my guitar is like I just need you to guide me so I don't go out of proportion" I said an I started to draw. Slowly I began to draw the body shape Gerard following with me. "Wow it's incredible that you can draw like this!" He said excitedly, I giggled.
"Okay can you put my hand is I can draw the neck please?" He moved my hand an I began to draw. Once done the basic out line I put the pencil down. "So how shit does it look?" I asked.
"Frank I can draw. An I am telling you this is amazing! Your blind an you can draw this? I wish you could see how good it looks!" He said I smiled an I began to blush.
"Okay did you want me to add the details to it? An draw you with it, I can if you want?" He asked.
"Yeah sure" I sat there an listen to his pencil on the paper. For the rest of the lesson I listen to him draw... An swat Bobs hand out of my face I like Bob he is funny. Ray he is a funny guy to but Matt is quiet I wonder what Mikey is like? In the middle of my thoughts the bell rang making me jump. I listened for Gerard he wasn't next to me he was at the front of the class speaking with Mrs Manson. Slowly I got up from my chair an felt the table as I walked.
"Woah Frank you want help?" Ray asked.
"Nah it's okay. I gotta get use to the class rooms anyway, a few more lessons an I won't even need to hold the tables." I said which is true it won't take me long. Finally reaching the front of the room only kicking my toe once i knew exactly where Gerard was.
"Gerard, Frank this painting is amazing! An Frank amazing work on the guitar." Mrs Mason said.
"Thanks but Gerard did all the work" I said shyly I wasn't gunna take any credit nor get sympathy I hated that.
"Yes but you did contribute. Gerard you an Frank can work together, I'll see ya next class go have lunch" Mrs Manson said, Gerard took my hand an led me to the back to get his bag an to get Mixi. Walking out of the class I realized that Gerard didn't tell me what he had drawn.
"Gerard what do you draw?" I asked
"Oh well I drew you playing the guitar, Ray playing his, Mikey playing his Bass, Bob on drums an me singing. An where playing our own show!" He said excited. I laughed he sounds cute when he's excited.
"Awesome! I wish I could see it. I can imagine it but it would be better to see it" I sighed.
"But think if you could see I might not have ever got to meet you" he whispered in my ear I giggled an so did he, we kept walking till we got to the office.
"Oh Frank hunny everything okay?" Said the office lady.
"Yeah everything's fine. I just wanted to know if you could call my mom to pick Mixi up. I just don't feel it's safe for her. Anyway I have Gerard to guide me around so not much point in having Mixi here" I said.
"Oh sure no problem. Gerard are you okay with this?" She asked Gerard
"Yes of course." He replied. I crouched down on my knees.
"Mixi" she placed her nose on mine. I giggled "good girl. I'm gunna leave you hear now girl okay?" She licked my nose. Gerard giggled.
"If you call to her she will come sit next to you okay?" I said to the office lady.
"Of course I'll call your mom now. Mixi" mixi licked my nose one last time an walked off, getting up I grabbed Gerard's hands an we walked out.
"Come on you gotta meet Mikey now" gee said.
"Cool. What's your brother like?" I asked.
"He can get carried away sometimes, very hypo. You'll like him, so what music do you like?" Gerard asked.
"Well i love the Misfits an Smashing Pumpkins an Iron Maiden" I said. Gerard laughed. "What's so funny?" I said.
"Frankie this is the start of an epic friendship but I think that might change" he said squeezing my hand. My heart went to goo an I could feel myself blushing. Then a cold wind blew on my face. We walked for a little bit before coming to a stop, must be at there hide out. I shivered from another gust of wind great day to forget my jacket right?
"Cold eh?" Gerard said.
"No I'm fine" I lied, another gust of wind an I started shaking uncontrollably.
"Frank your lips are blue an your shaking here have my jacket" Gerard said before I could even argue he was putting the jacket on me. It was warm an smelt like him. An was way too big for me.
"Awww Frank you look so cute! Just like a little dolly" Said Bob he is such an ass but funny.
"Shut up Bob" I responded. Standing there awkwardly I didn't know what to do. Should I sit or stand? I let go of Gerard's hand an moved my arms around searching for a wall.
"Umm Frank what are doing?" Asked Ray.
"A wall to lean against" I said embarrassed. They laughed. Great i probably look like a freak trying to look for a wall.
"Frank were outside an well away from the school. You can find a tree though" said Matt. I stopped an listened around an smelled. I always do this when I'm out to make sure I'm safe but being with Gerard I haven't been doing it! God Frank! Snap out of it! Your blind an he probably isn't even gay! I was just standing there in my thoughts when I heard Bob whisper "Dude is he okay? He looks frozen" Bob said.
"I was just thinking Bob" I laughed, the other guys laughed to but a new voice was there.
"Mikey?" I said holding out my hand.
"How the fuck did you know I was here?" He said shocked, I laughed at him. He took my hand an shook it. I then did my face feel an I could tell the family resemblance with him an Gerard.
"I have really good hearing, it's something you pick up with being blind same as smell" I said.
"Oh cool. So is it hard being blind?" Asked Matt. I turned to him
"Well sometimes it is. I have hit my head a few times with falls. But I don't fall as much now that I'm older. Other days being blind is great I can't complain really" I sighed.
"How did you know where I was sitting?" He asked. Time to show off I guess. I turned slightly to my left an pointed. "Ray" turned to the right a bit. "Bob" more the to right "Matt" more the right "Mikey" then stepped forward an sat down an touched Gerard's head woops "Gerard" I finished. They clapped. I laughed.
"So could you like play hide an seek as a kid?" Asked Bob.
"At my home I can because I know exactly where everything is. But like at anyone else's house or outside no, I tried that an nearly got hit by a bus. I haven't stayed at anyone's house anyway" I laughed.
"What! You've never stayed at a friends house!" Yelled Mikey. I shook my head
"Nope never. You gotta have friends to do that. An well you guys are my first friends" I said looking down.
"Gerard this weekend we are all gunna stay at your house an show this kid a good time" declared Bob. They all said there agrees an started to plan stuff to do. I just sat there staring in front of me with my head in my hands.
"You know you have amazing eyes Frank?" Whispered Gerard I forgot he was there.
"Oh thanks. You have an incredible face I can tell" I whispered. He laughed, then I heard him get up.
"Come on let's get you to third period" Gerard said pulling me up holding my hand an we began to walk.
"What about them?" I asked as I couldn't here them walking with us.
"We have English now. They don't like that class" Gerard said. I started to here more voices, must be getting closer to the other students. Gerard grabbed my hand tighter an pulled me closer. I could feel he was stressing.
"Gerard what wrong?" I asked
"A group of people that give me hell are walking our way. They are gunna try something I know it" he said angrily. Great harassed by a bunch of morons.
"Oh look the vampire recruited a new fagcadet!" A voice yelled getting closer.
"Fuck off Burt! Do you have no fucking respect that you gotta pick on a blind kid! That's really fucking low!" Yelled Gerard it scared me an I covered my ears as it hurt. "Shit sorry Frank" Gerard said grabbing my hand.
"All good just a tad loud" I laughed.
"Blind? Fuck off he is! He is staring right at me as I speak!" Said Burt. I took a step forward letting go of Gerard's hand. I could tell he was taller everyone is taller than me. I put my hand out.
"I'm Frank. Yes I am blind. It's just called good hearing an being blind all my fucking life. I can tell where people are. Like I know that you are taller than me an that you have like five other guys with you" I said. He still hadn't shook my hand so I put it down an took a step back. Gerard grabbed my hand again an I smilied.
"What-the fuck!" Burt said he was waving at me I knew it but I didn't react just to prove that I am ducking blind. "Fuck he is blind, were gunna have fun with him" whispered Burt to someone. Fucking great but I guess I gotta get use to it this is high school. "Well you are blind. What a shame. It would have been better if you could have seen Gerard here getting beaten" Burt said coming closer.
"Burt Mackracken! You leave them two boys alone! You only have one chance left before I expel you!" Yelled Mrs Hunt. Oh thank god she turned up.
"What I wasn't doing anything!" Yelled Burt.
"Burt I could hear what you said. An don't even try to lie, you are on ice right now. Detention today after school for an hour cleaning the grounds, it will give you time to think about your choices." Mrs Hunt said "Gerard, Frank follow me" she said we began to walk. She walked us our class.
TIME LAPSE END OF SCHOOL
As the bell rang for the end of school I sighed for relief. One down an many more to go. But it was going to be okay with Gerard.
"How are you getting home Frank?" Gerard asked.
"I think my mom is picking me up, I'm not sure i didn't ask" I said grabbing Gerard's hand. We got up an started walking outside. Once outside I just stopped an waited.
"Are you alright" Gerard asked.
"Yeah I'm just waiting for-" before I could even finish my moms voice came from the distance
"Frank!" She called I could hear her walking fast.
"Wow you know your mom really well eh?" Gerard laughed.
"Yep sure do" I laughed.
"Oh Frank I got so worried I forgot to tell you that I was picking you up. I feel-" my mom rushed on I cut her off though.
"Mom! Calm down! I'm fine I'm sure I could find my way home it's not hard." I laughed reaching out for her to hug her but she pulled me in an squished me
"Mom-let-go- it hurts" I said. I could hear Gerard giggle.
"Frank who's this? You haven't introduced me yet" mom said.
"Hi Mrs Iero I'm Gerard. I help Frank around" Gerard said.
"Oh! Your the lovely boy Mrs Hunt told me about over the phone. Oh it's so good to meet you an call me Linda" mom said.
"Ahh thanks an yeah same to you" Gerard said.
"Okay let's get you home Frank. How are you getting home Gerard?" Mom asked
"I'll probably walk home" Gerard said.
"What! In this weather. No ill drive you come on" mom said she still had a tight grip on my hand.
"Oh no it's oka-" Gerard started but I interrupted
"Gerard don't argue you will never win" I laughed reaching out my hand smiling. He took it straight away. Then we walked to the car an got in. I sat in the back with him so I wouldn't seem rude an I liked being close to Gerard.
"So where to you live Gerard?" Mom asked after a few minutes of leaving.
"I live in Cemetery Drive number 13" Gerard said.
"Oh! That's only a street away from us! You'll have to come over sometime!" Mom said over excitedly, I chuckled quietly at my moms child like behavior. The rest of the ride was quiet till my mom stopped the car I sighed this men't I have to let go of Gerard's hand. I leaned over an have Gerard a hug.
"Thank you for helping me today Gerard. I wouldn't be able to with out you" I said
Gerard's (p.o.v)
Pulling up to my house I became disappointed, I had to leave Frank now an I didn't. Next thing I know Frank is hugging me I took this opportunity an hugged him tight. He smelt nice am was warm because of my jacket that was huge on him.
"Thank you for helping me today Gerard. I wouldn't be able to with out you" Frank said blushing he is so adorable. I smiled.
"No problem Frank. I'll always be there for you" I said blushing. I looked at Linda she was smiling in the mirror with tears in her eyes. She got out of the car an I followed her.
"Thanks again Linda for the ride home I really appreciate it, also Linda could Frank stay at my house on the weekend with me an our friends" I said she nodded.
"Gerard that's no problem. Oh of course he go! You know I think he likes you" Linda said with a big smile. I froze. What! Him like me! No way!
"No he couldn't he's not even gay" I whispered remembering his good hearing. Linda stepped closer to me an put an arm on my shoulder.
"I know my son better than he knows himself. That boy has never blushed. Not even when girls would throw themselves at him. He likes you, he might not show it yet because he hasn't been in a relationship. He hasn't had feeling for anyone before. Give it time he will show it." Linda said giving me another hug an leaving, I waved to them as they left.
BEEP! BEEP!BEEP!BEEP! The worst sound in the universe to hear on a early Monday morning! Why the fuck was my alarm even going off for! I have no early appointments today! Mom she would have set it, evil woman she can be somedays but I love her she has given so much to me. Reaching over to my bedside cupboard I reached out feeling my way for the damn alarm clock! Fiddling around I still could feel it! Did I mention I'm blind? Ligit! Can't see a damn thing, then I heard the lights steps of my mom. She walked over to my bed even though I couldn't see her I knew exactly where she was, great skill I developed being blind my hearing an knowing the exact lay out of the house I could walk freely without haveing to worry about needing my walking cane stick thing.
"Time to get up Frank" mom said calmly.
"But why! It's holidays an a Monday!" I complained I didn't go to a normal school I wanted to but my put me an a disabled school.
"Well I thought you my like to go to school at Beville High this year being your last year. An sunshine, holidays finished last week." She said...
"wait! What!!....Beville High!!....as in normal school!!" I yelled excitedly. I heard her sigh she was worried always has been since the day I was born.
"Yes.. Now get up an get ready. I already got your clothes ready they are hanging up on your closet okay?" She said before getting up.
"Thanks mom!" I reached out for her. She placed her hand on mine telling me where she was, I got up holding her hand an hugged her. Yes even an eighteen year old boy I'm still a mommies boy, but I didn't care my mom was all I had my dad left when my mom gave birth to me an they discovered I was blind, he didn't want the pressure of a kid let alone a blind one at that so he left in the dead of night. But me an mom were happy. Letting go of her I walked to my bathroom shutting the door an getting in the shower.
After finally getting dressed I have a long piece of material? What was it? Why was it with my uniform? Not knowing I threw it over my shoulder an began to walk down the stairs, so I could find my mom so she could do my hair. Yep my mom even does my hair sad but true not like I can see what I'm doing! I had a mohawk with the sides coloured red. I have a lip ring on the left side an a nose ring on the right. I don't really know how I look but my mom always says that I'm her little rocker because you know the piercings the type of music I listen to an the tattoo i got for my eighteenth of a scorpion because that sounded like a cool animal like come on its like god is saying fuck you I'm gunna make a animal that has claws six legs an a tail with a deadly poisonous stinger! Okay enough of my thoughts where is she? I can't hear her the lounge room? Walking to the kitchen i stood there an listened. Sometimes mom would play around an hide really fun actually! Next thing I felt a hand on my shoulder there she was!
"You look fabulous hunny" she said. Grabbing the long material of my shoulder I held it out.
"Mom what's this thing? Why is it with my uniform?" I said shaking it. She laughed an took it out of my hands. I stood there as she put it around my neck! Tensing up I tried to take a step back but was stopped.
"Frank dear it's a tie. You wear it around your neck tied nicely to make you look more formal it's part of your uniform. I'm not trying to kill you! So stay still please." She said calmly. Ohhhh okay... Still have no idea what is but whatever!. After finishing up on my uniform mom did my hair straightening it, gel an some hair spray.
"Thanks mom. I don't know what I'd do with out you" I said. I wonder if she knew I was gay? Not all boys have an obsession of having there hair done. Well today is the day I ask.
"Mom" I said quietly starting to freak out.
"Yes frank? Are you okay you don't sound to good?" She said panic in her voice.
"I'm fine I'm fine. I just wanted to know if you knew that umm I am-
"Gay?" She cut me off. She knew!
"Don't pull that face frank! Yes I knew I'm your mother. It's obvious too. You only ever talk to guys an go red when they talk nice about you, the way you like to have your hair oh an the tight skinny jeans. Yes frank I know your gay. An I am fine with it your my son" I felt a wave of relief wash over me.
"One more thing wait here okay" she said before running off. Where was she going? An why run? Then I heard her back in front of me.
"Stay still please. I'm going to put eyeliner on you okay it's black makeup that goes around your eyes it will make them stand out!" She said eagerly I stayed still as she touched my eyes with the eyeliner. Once finished I had breakfast an we left for my first year an last of a normal high school.
Car pulling to a stop I guessed that we were there. Mom got out an came around to my door. But before I got out she got mixi from the back. Mixi is my guide dog, black Labrador, two years old. I put my hands on my knees waiting for mixi to put her nose to my hand signaling she was there. Then I felt it the soft little cold nose pressing on my right hand, reaching out I gave her a pat an took hold of the handle lead thing she wore for me to be guided. Walking to the office I felt nervous. Sure I had mixi on my right an my mom on my left I still felt nervous an also knowing that soon I was being thrown into a world i didn't know. Listening around I couldn't hear a thing?
"Mom why can't I hear any other kids?" I asked
"There in first class, the principle thought it would be best if you came in when they were in class for the first day" she said I nodded an kept walking. Mixi stopped an stepped back, that ment stairs slowly putting one foot in front of me I felt for the step finding it I ascended up with no problems. Then mom opened the door to the office. Walking in I could feel the presence of a few people.
"Hello! Mrs Iero! An Frank are hear!" Beemed a lady she sounded old. I just stood there not knowing what to do.
"Yes he's here an eager as well. He was thrilled to hear that he was attending this school this morning!" My mom chimed in. Then I could hear steps coming toward me then stop in front of me. Someone reached out an touched my shoulder.
"Hello Frank. I'm your principle Mrs Hunt." The voice said, I reached out my hand to her shoulder an lifted my hands to feel her face doing this I kind of got an idea on what she looked like once finished I let my arm fall to her hand. Shaking it
"Nice to meet you mrs Hunt." I said quietly.
"Pleasure is all mine. Now if you may please come with me to my office an we can discuss your arrangements" I nodded an reached for my moms arm. She touched my hand with hers she was shaking.
"Oh mom it's okay! Don't cry I'll be okay! I have mixi an I'm sure the teachers will help me!" I said trying to comfort her.
"I-I know Frank it's just you look so grown up." She said.
"Mom I think you can go. I'd like to handle the rest on my own" I said confidently.
"I think that's a wonderful idea" she said then giving me a quick hug an leaving.
"Mrs hunt?" I asked
"Yes Frank are you okay?" She replied.
"Yes I'm fine. But how did my Mom look? was it light tears or waterworks going?" I laughed, she laughed as well.
"Just light tears Frank. Okay come on let's discus how this will all work out for you." She began to walk slowly, I started to follow her footsteps with mixi by my side. In a few steps we entered a room. She led me to a seat an sat me down.
"Mixi sit" I instructed firmly reaching my left hand out down low so she knew where to sit. I felt her push her nose on my hand, sitting back I relaxed.
"Now Frank since this school is quiet large an many student we decide that we would get you an aid to lead you around an help you" Mrs Hunt said.
"What! I really don't want some annoying old guide I've put up with them all my school life that's why I came here! To get away!" I said frustrated.
"Hey I'm not old I'm the same age" someone said next to me suddenly, scarring me I jumped a little. Someone else was there? How didn't I notice!
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you. I thought you knew I was hear?" This boys voice was beautiful so soft an sounded perfect.
"Can you sing?" I asked
"Umm yeah I guess how did you know?" The beautiful voice asked.
"I can tell by your voice it sounds beautiful" I said. He didn't say anything.
"Frank, this is Gerard Way he is in your year an volunteered to be your guide an he is a trusted student you need no fear of his capability you are them same classes an start next period. You two are free to roam the school till next period" Mrs Hunt said. I got up an began to walk to the door.
Gerard's (p.o.v)
Today's I got to meet Frank the blind student that was coming to our school. I volunteered to be his guide knowing that if it was anyone else that would only give him grief an he didn't need that for fuck sake he's blind! So I'm gunna do everything to protect him. I've already got Ray, Bob, Matt an Mikey with me to help they are my only friends here an well Mikey's my brother. Suddenly in the middle of my thoughts the door opened i turned to see Mrs Hunt walk in behind her, was the most beautiful person I have ever seen! This is Frank! My god! He is flawless! Shorter than me a bit, long piece of hair over his face, the sides red which look awesome. Lip an nose pierced! An a TATTOO! Wow I think I may be in love with him! I watched as Mrs Hunt lead him to the chair I didn't take my eyes of him I watched as he looked at her well umm not look really but um yeah anyway as she spoke than he spoke out
""What! I really don't want some annoying old guide I've put up with them all my school life that's why I came here! To get away!" He said.
"Hey I'm not that old I'm the same age" I said felt like laughing but knew I shouldn't Frank jumped at voice I didn't mean to scare him I looked to Mrs Hunt an she was smiling at us.
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you I thought you knew I was here?" I said smiling he is so cute an he was facing me now he has beautiful eyes green so bright an mystical an the eyeliner made them stand out even more
"Can you sing?" Frank asked. What
"Umm yeah I guess how did you know?" I asked.
"I can tell by your voice it sounds beautiful" he said, I blushed furiously Mrs Hunt smiled at me she was the only adult in this school that knew I was gay. Mrs Hunt continued talking to Frank introducing me. When she finished which I wasn't paying much attention Frank got up, so I followed an opened the door.
Franks (p.o.v)
Gerard opened the door for me an I walked out stopping just outside. I listen for Gerard's footsteps he stepped around me an stopped in front waiting. I know I just met him but I was already starting to like him, I could tell he was a good guy I had a sense for that.
"Gerard. You don't mind if I feel your face? It helps me to know what you look like" I asked.
"Sure go ahead" he said grabbing my hands an putting them to his face. He had beautiful contours, cute nose an soft lips. I let my hands fall down once finished.
"So where are we going first!" I asked I was thrilled to be at a normal school.
"Umm I guess I could take you to where me an my friends hang. You'll like them they know about you an will help you out if you need it" Gerard said.
"There really willing to help? An what are their names?" I asked. Gerard chuckled an what a sexy chuckle that was.
"Yes they are, when I found out about you I knew I needed to be the one because people in this school are not nice an they try to attack you on your weakness an no offense you have a big weakness, an you dress like me. There names are Mikey who is a year younger an my brother, There's Bob who is in our year he's taller than you. Then there's Ray who is also in our year he has a huge Afro an is taller than me. Then there's Matt also our year an the tallest kid in our group" Gerard said grabbing my hand an pulling me forward. I nodded an began to walk, still holding Gerard's hand.
"Gerard is it okay if I hold your hand? An what did you mean I dress like you?" I asked curious not like I could see him but I knew already that he was.
"Of course you can hold my hand all year what ever makes you feel safe an I know your safe so I'm happy...ermm well, you know I wear eyeliner an straighten my hair too" Gerard said I began to blush! He wants me safe! No one besides my mom has shown this much care an could there be love?
"Thanks Gerard I feel safe holding your hand. You straighten your hair too! Today's my first day wearing eyeliner." I said happily relaxing that I wasn't the only one wearing eyeliner!
"Frank?" Gerard asked after a moment of silence.
"What's up Gerard?" I said
"It just I was wondering...umm how did you do your eyeliner so perfect? I don't mean in it a bad way!" He rushed. I laughed I couldn't help it I squeezed Gerard's hand lightly.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it... My mom did it she said it would make my eyes stand out more. I don't know why? Nothing special about em can't even see out of them" I said quietly. Gerard stopped an let go off my hand. I listened but couldn't hear him. I didn't know where I was I think we were outside?
"Gerard! Where are you! I-"
"I'm right here. Had to fix my shoelace" he laughed an so did I. Then the bell rang making me jump.
"Come on let's get to second period. Oh it's art to my favorite class." Gee said. I smiled.
"Mixi" I said putting my hand down, she barked an put her nose to my hand "good girl" I said patting her an reaching for her lead.
Walking into the art class I was nervous an grabbed Gee's hand tighter he squeezed back. Gerard lead me through the class an helped me sit.
"Hey Gerard" said a voice next to me "hey Frank, I'm Ray" oh it's Ray. I held out my hand, he placed it in mine an we shaked.
"Hi Ray nice to me you. Um you don't mind if I touch your face? It helps me to kind of know what you look like" I asked nervously.
"Yeah man sure that's cool. Here" like that he grabbed my hands an put them to his face. I felt around he had a nice face big full lips, an then I felt his hair. Curious at what Gee said I felt his hair.
"Wow! You do have a big Afro!" I laughed, Ray an Gerard both laughed as well.
"Gerard do you really explain me as Afro guy?" Ray laughed.
"Yeah, pretty much" Gerard laughed next to me. MIXI! Oh god I got so caught up! Where is she I felt around with my legs an I couldn't feel her.
"Frank she's laying down at the back of the class. She's out of the way an safe okay" Gerard said I breathed out an relaxed.
"Oh thanks, slipped my mind" I said I sat there for a moment hands in my lap feeling alone, I listened around the class more students had came in. I could feel someone in front of me, yep waving their hand in front of my face. I have great hearing an a sense for that since my family did it to me all the time.
"Yes I am blind. An I do know you are waving your hand in front of my face." I said angered a bit.
"Hey Frank I'm Bob. I'm sorry I had to check" oh Bob. I reached my hand out. He took my hand but didnt shake it? It placed it his face.
"I saw you do that to Ray. Thought you might want to do the same with me?" He asked. Oh I wonder who else saw it? Slowly feeling around he had a nice face as well, then I noticed his on his lip a piece of metal.
"Lip piercing too aye?" I smiled
"Yeah I got mine done last year. When you get yours done?" Bob asked.
"When I was fourteen same as my nose" I said tapping at my nose. Bob laughed an sat down.
"Frank there's two more people you gotta meet. An Matt's here now, did you want to meet him now" Gerard asked.
"Yeah sure where is he?" I asked.
"Right behind you" Matt said from behind which scared the shit out of me an made me yell. The class laughed an so did I, I tuner slightly in my seat.
"Hi Matt. Believe me if I could see you I would punch you" I laughed. That caused a few more laughs. So I did the same to Matt as I did with Gerard, Ray an Bob. Matt was also a nice face but nothing like Gerard. After a few minutes the teacher arrived her name was Mrs Manson. She came up to me an Gerard an I did the same to her she was pretty an young.
"Okay class for today to just kick off the year I want you to paint something that you dream to do in the future" Mrs Mason said. I reached out to my left where Gerard was sitting for his hand, he grabbed it an squeezed under the desk.
"Don't worry I'll help you" Gerard said kindly.
"Thank you. I can kinda draw apparently. I just need help to start off an a few directions to make sure it's not a mess" I said.
"Okay well me an you will work together? How does that sound?" He asked. I smiled
"That sounds perfect" I said, he let go of my hand an got up an went off to get art shit I suppose. I was sitting there waiting when i heard two girls giggling.
"Ohhh look that dog is so cute! Lets pat her" one high pitch voice said I listened to their steps before I said something.
"Excuse me" I said an the steps stopped. I kept looking forward "there is a tag on the dog, what does it say?" I asked sternly.
"On duty please do not pat me" said another annoying high pitched voice.
"Good to know that you two arnt blind either, please don't pat her if everyone goes an pat her she won't want to do her job" I said anger seeping through it really annoyed me when people did that.
"Girls leave the dog alone an let it continue to do what it's trained for which is not to be your cute obsession everytime she comes in okay" Mrs Manson said I smiled. The girls sighed an walked off.
"Them two are stupid bitchs that obsess over cute things" Gerard said next to me. I nodded an reached my hand down "Mixi sit" I commanded. Within a few seconds Mixi's nose was pressed on my hand giving her a pat she moved to under the desk in front of my legs an leaned on them so I knew where she was.
"She's such a good dog an beautiful too" Ray said.
"Yeah she excellent. Gerard at break can we go to the office please I need to call my mom" I said. I don't think Mixi should be here I don't want her to get hurt.
"Sure. Okay so what is something you want to do in the future?" Gerard asked.
"Play my guitar live in front of thousands of people" I whispered quietly so no one else could hear except Gerard. Gerard grabbed my hand.
"What kind of guitar do you play?" He asked softly. I smiled
"The electric it's a white Gibson. Well that's what my mom told me" I said.
"How well do you play?" Gerard questioned.
"Umm I think I'm okay considering I'm blind but my mom thinks I play amazingly but she's my mom she don't count" I laughed. He laughed too.
"Frank. Me an the guys except Matt have a band. And where looking for another guitarist. Did you want to join?" Gerard asked.
"Hell yes! I'd love to!" I yelled "But like I said I'm not that good?" I said Gerard laughed
"Let me e the judge of that okay?" He said. "Okay let's get to work. What hand do you draw with?" He asked.
"My left" he grabbed my hand an placed a pencil in it an put it on the paper. "Okay so how's this gunna work?" He asked
"Okay well I remember what my guitar is like I just need you to guide me so I don't go out of proportion" I said an I started to draw. Slowly I began to draw the body shape Gerard following with me. "Wow it's incredible that you can draw like this!" He said excitedly, I giggled.
"Okay can you put my hand is I can draw the neck please?" He moved my hand an I began to draw. Once done the basic out line I put the pencil down. "So how shit does it look?" I asked.
"Frank I can draw. An I am telling you this is amazing! Your blind an you can draw this? I wish you could see how good it looks!" He said I smiled an I began to blush.
"Okay did you want me to add the details to it? An draw you with it, I can if you want?" He asked.
"Yeah sure" I sat there an listen to his pencil on the paper. For the rest of the lesson I listen to him draw... An swat Bobs hand out of my face I like Bob he is funny. Ray he is a funny guy to but Matt is quiet I wonder what Mikey is like? In the middle of my thoughts the bell rang making me jump. I listened for Gerard he wasn't next to me he was at the front of the class speaking with Mrs Manson. Slowly I got up from my chair an felt the table as I walked.
"Woah Frank you want help?" Ray asked.
"Nah it's okay. I gotta get use to the class rooms anyway, a few more lessons an I won't even need to hold the tables." I said which is true it won't take me long. Finally reaching the front of the room only kicking my toe once i knew exactly where Gerard was.
"Gerard, Frank this painting is amazing! An Frank amazing work on the guitar." Mrs Mason said.
"Thanks but Gerard did all the work" I said shyly I wasn't gunna take any credit nor get sympathy I hated that.
"Yes but you did contribute. Gerard you an Frank can work together, I'll see ya next class go have lunch" Mrs Manson said, Gerard took my hand an led me to the back to get his bag an to get Mixi. Walking out of the class I realized that Gerard didn't tell me what he had drawn.
"Gerard what do you draw?" I asked
"Oh well I drew you playing the guitar, Ray playing his, Mikey playing his Bass, Bob on drums an me singing. An where playing our own show!" He said excited. I laughed he sounds cute when he's excited.
"Awesome! I wish I could see it. I can imagine it but it would be better to see it" I sighed.
"But think if you could see I might not have ever got to meet you" he whispered in my ear I giggled an so did he, we kept walking till we got to the office.
"Oh Frank hunny everything okay?" Said the office lady.
"Yeah everything's fine. I just wanted to know if you could call my mom to pick Mixi up. I just don't feel it's safe for her. Anyway I have Gerard to guide me around so not much point in having Mixi here" I said.
"Oh sure no problem. Gerard are you okay with this?" She asked Gerard
"Yes of course." He replied. I crouched down on my knees.
"Mixi" she placed her nose on mine. I giggled "good girl. I'm gunna leave you hear now girl okay?" She licked my nose. Gerard giggled.
"If you call to her she will come sit next to you okay?" I said to the office lady.
"Of course I'll call your mom now. Mixi" mixi licked my nose one last time an walked off, getting up I grabbed Gerard's hands an we walked out.
"Come on you gotta meet Mikey now" gee said.
"Cool. What's your brother like?" I asked.
"He can get carried away sometimes, very hypo. You'll like him, so what music do you like?" Gerard asked.
"Well i love the Misfits an Smashing Pumpkins an Iron Maiden" I said. Gerard laughed. "What's so funny?" I said.
"Frankie this is the start of an epic friendship but I think that might change" he said squeezing my hand. My heart went to goo an I could feel myself blushing. Then a cold wind blew on my face. We walked for a little bit before coming to a stop, must be at there hide out. I shivered from another gust of wind great day to forget my jacket right?
"Cold eh?" Gerard said.
"No I'm fine" I lied, another gust of wind an I started shaking uncontrollably.
"Frank your lips are blue an your shaking here have my jacket" Gerard said before I could even argue he was putting the jacket on me. It was warm an smelt like him. An was way too big for me.
"Awww Frank you look so cute! Just like a little dolly" Said Bob he is such an ass but funny.
"Shut up Bob" I responded. Standing there awkwardly I didn't know what to do. Should I sit or stand? I let go of Gerard's hand an moved my arms around searching for a wall.
"Umm Frank what are doing?" Asked Ray.
"A wall to lean against" I said embarrassed. They laughed. Great i probably look like a freak trying to look for a wall.
"Frank were outside an well away from the school. You can find a tree though" said Matt. I stopped an listened around an smelled. I always do this when I'm out to make sure I'm safe but being with Gerard I haven't been doing it! God Frank! Snap out of it! Your blind an he probably isn't even gay! I was just standing there in my thoughts when I heard Bob whisper "Dude is he okay? He looks frozen" Bob said.
"I was just thinking Bob" I laughed, the other guys laughed to but a new voice was there.
"Mikey?" I said holding out my hand.
"How the fuck did you know I was here?" He said shocked, I laughed at him. He took my hand an shook it. I then did my face feel an I could tell the family resemblance with him an Gerard.
"I have really good hearing, it's something you pick up with being blind same as smell" I said.
"Oh cool. So is it hard being blind?" Asked Matt. I turned to him
"Well sometimes it is. I have hit my head a few times with falls. But I don't fall as much now that I'm older. Other days being blind is great I can't complain really" I sighed.
"How did you know where I was sitting?" He asked. Time to show off I guess. I turned slightly to my left an pointed. "Ray" turned to the right a bit. "Bob" more the to right "Matt" more the right "Mikey" then stepped forward an sat down an touched Gerard's head woops "Gerard" I finished. They clapped. I laughed.
"So could you like play hide an seek as a kid?" Asked Bob.
"At my home I can because I know exactly where everything is. But like at anyone else's house or outside no, I tried that an nearly got hit by a bus. I haven't stayed at anyone's house anyway" I laughed.
"What! You've never stayed at a friends house!" Yelled Mikey. I shook my head
"Nope never. You gotta have friends to do that. An well you guys are my first friends" I said looking down.
"Gerard this weekend we are all gunna stay at your house an show this kid a good time" declared Bob. They all said there agrees an started to plan stuff to do. I just sat there staring in front of me with my head in my hands.
"You know you have amazing eyes Frank?" Whispered Gerard I forgot he was there.
"Oh thanks. You have an incredible face I can tell" I whispered. He laughed, then I heard him get up.
"Come on let's get you to third period" Gerard said pulling me up holding my hand an we began to walk.
"What about them?" I asked as I couldn't here them walking with us.
"We have English now. They don't like that class" Gerard said. I started to here more voices, must be getting closer to the other students. Gerard grabbed my hand tighter an pulled me closer. I could feel he was stressing.
"Gerard what wrong?" I asked
"A group of people that give me hell are walking our way. They are gunna try something I know it" he said angrily. Great harassed by a bunch of morons.
"Oh look the vampire recruited a new fagcadet!" A voice yelled getting closer.
"Fuck off Burt! Do you have no fucking respect that you gotta pick on a blind kid! That's really fucking low!" Yelled Gerard it scared me an I covered my ears as it hurt. "Shit sorry Frank" Gerard said grabbing my hand.
"All good just a tad loud" I laughed.
"Blind? Fuck off he is! He is staring right at me as I speak!" Said Burt. I took a step forward letting go of Gerard's hand. I could tell he was taller everyone is taller than me. I put my hand out.
"I'm Frank. Yes I am blind. It's just called good hearing an being blind all my fucking life. I can tell where people are. Like I know that you are taller than me an that you have like five other guys with you" I said. He still hadn't shook my hand so I put it down an took a step back. Gerard grabbed my hand again an I smilied.
"What-the fuck!" Burt said he was waving at me I knew it but I didn't react just to prove that I am ducking blind. "Fuck he is blind, were gunna have fun with him" whispered Burt to someone. Fucking great but I guess I gotta get use to it this is high school. "Well you are blind. What a shame. It would have been better if you could have seen Gerard here getting beaten" Burt said coming closer.
"Burt Mackracken! You leave them two boys alone! You only have one chance left before I expel you!" Yelled Mrs Hunt. Oh thank god she turned up.
"What I wasn't doing anything!" Yelled Burt.
"Burt I could hear what you said. An don't even try to lie, you are on ice right now. Detention today after school for an hour cleaning the grounds, it will give you time to think about your choices." Mrs Hunt said "Gerard, Frank follow me" she said we began to walk. She walked us our class.
TIME LAPSE END OF SCHOOL
As the bell rang for the end of school I sighed for relief. One down an many more to go. But it was going to be okay with Gerard.
"How are you getting home Frank?" Gerard asked.
"I think my mom is picking me up, I'm not sure i didn't ask" I said grabbing Gerard's hand. We got up an started walking outside. Once outside I just stopped an waited.
"Are you alright" Gerard asked.
"Yeah I'm just waiting for-" before I could even finish my moms voice came from the distance
"Frank!" She called I could hear her walking fast.
"Wow you know your mom really well eh?" Gerard laughed.
"Yep sure do" I laughed.
"Oh Frank I got so worried I forgot to tell you that I was picking you up. I feel-" my mom rushed on I cut her off though.
"Mom! Calm down! I'm fine I'm sure I could find my way home it's not hard." I laughed reaching out for her to hug her but she pulled me in an squished me
"Mom-let-go- it hurts" I said. I could hear Gerard giggle.
"Frank who's this? You haven't introduced me yet" mom said.
"Hi Mrs Iero I'm Gerard. I help Frank around" Gerard said.
"Oh! Your the lovely boy Mrs Hunt told me about over the phone. Oh it's so good to meet you an call me Linda" mom said.
"Ahh thanks an yeah same to you" Gerard said.
"Okay let's get you home Frank. How are you getting home Gerard?" Mom asked
"I'll probably walk home" Gerard said.
"What! In this weather. No ill drive you come on" mom said she still had a tight grip on my hand.
"Oh no it's oka-" Gerard started but I interrupted
"Gerard don't argue you will never win" I laughed reaching out my hand smiling. He took it straight away. Then we walked to the car an got in. I sat in the back with him so I wouldn't seem rude an I liked being close to Gerard.
"So where to you live Gerard?" Mom asked after a few minutes of leaving.
"I live in Cemetery Drive number 13" Gerard said.
"Oh! That's only a street away from us! You'll have to come over sometime!" Mom said over excitedly, I chuckled quietly at my moms child like behavior. The rest of the ride was quiet till my mom stopped the car I sighed this men't I have to let go of Gerard's hand. I leaned over an have Gerard a hug.
"Thank you for helping me today Gerard. I wouldn't be able to with out you" I said
Gerard's (p.o.v)
Pulling up to my house I became disappointed, I had to leave Frank now an I didn't. Next thing I know Frank is hugging me I took this opportunity an hugged him tight. He smelt nice am was warm because of my jacket that was huge on him.
"Thank you for helping me today Gerard. I wouldn't be able to with out you" Frank said blushing he is so adorable. I smiled.
"No problem Frank. I'll always be there for you" I said blushing. I looked at Linda she was smiling in the mirror with tears in her eyes. She got out of the car an I followed her.
"Thanks again Linda for the ride home I really appreciate it, also Linda could Frank stay at my house on the weekend with me an our friends" I said she nodded.
"Gerard that's no problem. Oh of course he go! You know I think he likes you" Linda said with a big smile. I froze. What! Him like me! No way!
"No he couldn't he's not even gay" I whispered remembering his good hearing. Linda stepped closer to me an put an arm on my shoulder.
"I know my son better than he knows himself. That boy has never blushed. Not even when girls would throw themselves at him. He likes you, he might not show it yet because he hasn't been in a relationship. He hasn't had feeling for anyone before. Give it time he will show it." Linda said giving me another hug an leaving, I waved to them as they left.
