The Boy With Scars

~Frank's point of view~
I unlocked the door to see my cousin. She smiled and i really tried to be happy with her but it was just so hard. Pretending to be happy when you're miserable...
I looked at the older girl. She was taller than me but then again a lot of people are. She had blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Her hair was longer than the last time i'd seen her which had been about a year and a half now. She lived far away, Her and her best friend shared an apartment or something. She smiled at me and hugged me.
"I haven't seen you in so long. How are you doing?" She asked worried about me like always. Growing up she had been pretty much my only friend. I don't like people caring about me but i had gotten used to her considering we were family and she had been my best friend for a long time despite the age difference.
"I'm....fine.." I said looking down and chipping at the black polish on my finger nails.
She sighed.
"Come on Frank!" she pulled me up the stairs to the bathroom and shoved me into the small room.
"Shower then get dressed. We are going out! i haven't seen you in forever and you're upset about Ge-"
"Don't, don't say his name" I cut her off and she smiled.
"Okay. but hurry! i'll go find you an outfit! " She giggled and turned and headed down the hallway to my room.

I got out of the shower to find my own clothes on the sink for me. guess she did pick me out an outfit. It was a short sleeve band shirt and some red skinny jeans. I wasn't worried about her seeing my arms because she already knew. She was the only person that had known until Gerard. of course my mom had been the one to stop me from suicide but the cutting...she didn't need to know about that. I remember that day i tried to off myself....When i woke up at the hospital i remember being upset i was still here. Then i turned and saw Tessa sitting there crying. Unlike most people she didn't ask me if i was okay or how i felt. She yelled at me. i smiled at the memory.

-frank's memory of the hospital day-
I woke up this time to find Tessa sitting in the chair next to my bed.
"Are you awake?" she said as i looked up at her.
"Of course you are. now...HOW DARE YOU FUCKING SCARE ME LIKE THAT YOU LITTLE SHIT!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THAT TO ME!!! WHAT WOULD I DO WITHOUT YOU?!?! DO YOU REALLY HATE ME SO MUCH YOU'D DO THAT TO ME??!?!?!" She screamed standing up glaring at me.
"i-i'm sorry" i said quietly.
"NO!! YOU'RE NOT FRANK!! YOU COULD HAVE CALLED ME OR TALKED TO ME IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE THIS!!!! I COULD HAVE HELPED YOU !! YOU'RE SUCH A FUCKING JERK I...did you even think about what losing you would have done to me, little brother?" she used the nickname little brother. She hadn't called my than since i was like seven. That's how i knew she wasn't mad really. She was upset and worried.
"I'm sorry.. i wasn't thinking. i won't try it again i swear" I said

I looked up after getting dressed to her knocking on the bathroom door. i opened it and she looked down at me.
She saw my arms.
"Frankie...i want you to know, you're not alone. i may like really far away and stuff but i love you. You are my best friend. Nothing will change that. I don't care about your scars or anything i just want you to be okay. I want you to be happy." She said i smiled as much as i could make myself
"I've been trying to stop...getting better and stuff. I promise i'll try harder" I said and she smiled.
"Let's go!!" she said loudly pulling me out the front door and to her old truck.
"Where we headed?" i ask her. i didn't want to go anywhere but for her i would.
"hmm...how bout the mall? We can hit up hot topic!" She said smiling and i nodded hoping i wouldn't run into anyone i knew.
We walked around the mall for a while before she wanted to stop and sit at one of the benches.
"So...about Gerard..." She said and i groaned.
"Look i know you don't want to talk about him Frankie but i just want you to talk to me okay?" she said and i nodded and talked about him and our fight and just everything.
"He was so nice...i can't believe i pushed him away like that. " I said quietly and she smiled.
"What?" i asked
"Oh i don't know...i think you should talk to him and you know be friends again. I was looking forward to meeting him before the fight you know!" She said and i rolled my eyes.
"No. He hates me now." I said looking away and she rolled her eyes.
"Whatever. Lets head home. i'm staying with you tonight of course!" She said
"How long?"
"i dunno until after your mom gets back.. "
i nodded and stood up. As i was walking towards the doors of the mall i noticed something. There was a familiar guy entering. He saw me two seconds after i saw him and stopped mid step. I did the same just starring at him. Gerard.

~Gerard's point of view~
I rolled over in bed and looked at my phone. i had a couple texts from ray and mikey but i ignored them. I had been in my room since the fight. I went home and cried and when i finally ran out of tears i just laid there. I couldn't think about him. I got up and paced my room. I had to go out. I called ray and told him to meet me at my house. I got dressed and grabbed Mikey then headed to the mall with them.
"Nice to see you're alive bro. You've been ignoring me. Whats up?" Ray said and i just ignored him. i didn't want to talk about it,
"He came home the other day Freaking out. Him and Frank had a major fight like "I hate you" Fight as in "We are no longer friends. at all" And he is upset because....I dunno why. But anyways by the way he was acting i'm willing to bet if they were even in the same room there would be one hell of a fight" Mikey tells ray. We got to the mall and were walking in the doors at the entrance when i saw him. I stopped walking and watched him look at me. He was here with a blonde girl taller than him i didn't recognize. She looked about his age but something about her face reminded me of his.
"Frank?!" Mikey yelled and i hit him. I did NOT want to speak to the little jerk.
Mikey headed over there though and the blonde stepped in front of frank protectively to talk to him. They spoke for a minute and she smiled. Oh god. He turned and waved us over and Ray pushed me to them. She grabbed Frank's hand and tried to pull him forward but he wouldn't move.
"This is Tessa." Mikey said and i nodded. "Tessa this is Gerard. And Ray." Mikey pointed to us as he said our names. I looked at my feet.
"ohh....Gerard? Hmm..." Tessa said.
"Frankie? you okay?" she asked him and He looked away.
"I'm gonna head out to the truck. sorry Tess but i just....i can't be here right now. " He said trying to make it where only she could hear but i was standing to close. i couldn't help it. I rolled my eyes.
"Oh my god. You so mad can't even be in the same building as me now?" I said sharply and he turned to glare at me.
"Shut the fuck up Gerard. you don't know what your talking about" He said and i smirked.
"Sure i don't. Just go. Run away like always" I said knowing i was being mean and not caring.
"Oh my god Gerard!! I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE BECAUSE IT HURTS TO MUCH TO LOOK AT YOU" Frank screamed and i rolled my eyes.
"you little fuck!! FIRST YOU DON'T WANT ME TO CARE THEN YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT ME YOU CAN'T STAND TO SEE ME HATE YOU?!" I screamed back. He looked pissed
"YOU'RE A PIECE OF SHIT THAT ONLY CARES ABOUT HIMSELF" He yelled back
"OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE I HATE YOU SO MUCH DON'T I?!?!?!" i screamed and the next thing i knew He hit me. I punched him back hard as i could and suddenly we were full on fighting right outside the mall.
"Frankie no!!! STOP!!" Tess screamed and Ray and Mike tried to pull me off of him. We continued to go at each other until Tessa finally pulled him off of me.

~Frank's point of view~
Tessa pulled me away from him.
"Get the fuck away from me!" i said harshly to her feeling kinda bad but hey whatever.
she pulled me to the truck without saying anything. She spoke as she started the truck.
"I can't believe you did that. I swear Frank!!" She said with a bit of a laugh
"i'm not sure he just makes me SO MAD sometimes." I sighed and she laughed.
"Lets go home Frankie!" she said and turned the radio up.
