I Hear You've Been Bleeding

Franks POV
I slammed the door hard and fell to the ground with my head in my hands. I started to cry silently, but wiping the tears off before anyone had a chance to see. Frank Iero, crying over the school faggot. Ray and Gerard walked out the room with their heads hung low. I just glared at them as they walked past. Gerard was MINE, not anyone else's.

And with that thought, I got up and went to Mikey's room.

Petes POV
I sat in my room, slowly strumming the strings of my bass. I can't help but think about how gorgeous Mikey is when he plays. His head slightly lolls to the side and his tounge pokes out a little. It's adorable. I've been crushing on Mikey for about a year now, but I could never tell him. You see, him and my best friend Frank are both extremely homophobic. You'd never get either of them to be gay. And to be honest, I really don't support what they do to Gerard. It's not fair.

Ive considered coming out to Frank, but I'm scared of how he'll react. I decided to tell him about my sexual preferences the next day at school. I just hope he doesn't beat me, I don't think I could take that.

~at school the next day~

All day, Frank seemed to be in an especially bad mood, and he wouldn't tell my what was wrong. I saw Gerard with his friend, the one with the 'fro. I figured it would be a good idea to ask someone who's been in the same situation as me about how they came out. So I walked up to him.

Gerards POV
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Pete Wentz was walking straight towards me. I could see Ray begin to get protective. But as he came closer, I could tell he wasn't going to hurt me.

"Gerard, look" he started. "I know I've been an asshole,and I'm sorry, so fucking sorry. But I'm having a problem, and you're the one who knows about this more than anyone. Especially about telling Frank." I nodded for him to continue.
"I'm gay."
Woah. I wasn't expecting that. "Ugh, you should just straight out say it. If Frank can't deal with it then that's his own problem. You can always hang with us if you want, you seem pretty cool." Pete smiled at me sadly before continuing. "But I'm in love with your brother."
Shit.

Petes POV
"Well the same goes for Mikey, if he doesn't accept it then I'm sorry, and that's his problem." I smiled sadly at Gerard before thanking him and apologizing again, then leaving.

Now for Frank.

I approached him cautiously, taking in a deep breath and just saying it. "I'm gay."

Frank looked at me before smiling and replying "that's okay." My face twisted with anger. What's so great about me that makes me so much better than Gerard. "Are you fucking kidding me?" Frank turned to face me. "How come its so wrong for Gerard to be gay, but it's okay for me? Have you seen what you're doing to the poor kid? He's covered in scars, that he made himself, hell, you saw him making them! And have you seen how skinny he is, he hardly eats because of the fucking shithead that is you. For fucks sake HE TRIED TO KILL HIMSELF BECAUSE OF YOU. OPEN UP YOUR FUCKING EYES AND STOP BEING A NIEVE BITCH." People were staring now, including Gerard. But I didn't care. I kicked Frank hard in the shin and walk off, feeling his gaze buring into my back.
