Of course I spoke too soon. English had turned out to be horrible. Cole was in our class. He hadnt been there earlier in the week and we hadnt seen him anywhere but now he was back and was boasting about his holiday in England. He must have split from his girlfriend because the main thing he was boasting about was all the chicks he banged. Loudly. Directly in front of Gerard and I. The whole lesson Gerard had been staring daggers at his head. He hadnt forgotten about Lily being kidnapped, me being threatened and Mikey being threatened. Part of me was scared to death of what he would do to Cole. The rest of me couldnt wait for him to get wahts been coming to him for years.

"Man, this one chick, she just kept blowing me. I mean, I tried to pleasure her too but she wouldnt have it. She said my accent was soooo hot."Cole bragged. I rolled my eyes and looked at Gerard. He was staring at the back of Coles head, a muscle twitching in his jaw.
"Was she hot?"One guy drawled.
"Of course she fucking was. You think I'd bang an ogre? Fuck no."Cole smacked the guy's arm.
"Oh my fucking god. Shut. The fuck. Up!"Gerard stood up and waited for Cole to slowly turned in his seat to face Gerard.

"You got a problem faggot?"Cole leered at him. I watched as Gerard smiled politely, all anger disappearing from his face suprisingly fast. Cole flinched slightly but covered it up by nudging his friend who was staring at the whiteboard with a vacant look on his face. He looked round at Gerard and started staring at him. I had never seen him before. I definitely didnt see him in the forest.
"Oh I have several problems."Gerard gave him a sweet smile.
"I got 99 problems and they're all you, aye Gerard."I grinned at him. He started giggling at me then turned back to Cole.

"Would someone please explain to me why You are out of your seat and You two are gawping at him and why NO ONE is doing the work I set?!"
"Shit."Gerard fell into his seat and grabbed his pen to do the work. Cole and his friend quickly turned back around. Mrs Urie marched away from the door and up to the back where we were sitting and glared at the three of them.

"Detention. All 3 of you. After school in here. Dont miss it or I will punish the lot of you for it."
"No but Miss Ur-"I started to say.
"Nope. I dont wanna hear it."Mrs Urie went back to her desk.
"No but Miss I cant go."Gerard pleaded.
"Yeah we have to be somewhere. Its important."I added.
"I dont care. You're going. Now Franklin I suggest you shut up unless you want to join them."She sighed, thinking it was the end to the matter.

I glanced at Gerard and whispered,"Well if you're is in detention then I have to wait for you so I may as well be with you."I grinned at him and shouted,"Mrs Urie we really cant miss-"
"Detention Franklin! You shall join your classmates this afternoon in detention. If I hear another peep out of any of you, you'll all be serving detention on the weekend. Now get on with the god damn work!"She had the scariest look on her face. She meant fucking business. Which is why it shocked me to the bone when Cole called out to her rudely,"This is bullshit miss! I dont wanna be stuck in the same room as those dick sucking faggots any more than I fucking have to!"

Mrs Urie took a deep breath and looked at Cole. She picked up her phone and dialled a number. As she waited for them to pick up she walked out of the classroom.
"Dont think you're gonna get away with what you did. Or what you wanted to do."Gerard leaned forward and hissed in Cole's ear.
"Fuck you Gerard. I'm not fucking scared of you. You can do whatever the fuck you want but whats done is done."Cole growled without turning around.
"Whats done is done? What the fuck does that mean?"Gerard whispered to me and slid back into his seat as Mrs Urie walked back in with the calmest look on her face ever.

The class sat in silence for a few minutes before the principal walked in with the school counsellor. Cole groaned and started packing up his things.
"Cole. Would you please-"Mrs Urie
"Yeah yeah I know the drill. Fuck I hate that bastard."Cole grumbled to his sniggering friend.

Gerard and I watched as Cole slowly trudged to the door. Before he left the room he turned to us and snorted,"Seen your brothers boyfriend lately? I have."And walked out. Gerard and I stood up at exactly the same time. I opened my bag and swiped all my stuff off my desk and into it. Gerard hadnt bothered to grab his stuff, he was already racing out the door.

"Oy Cole! What the fuck did you mean?"Gerard growled outside. I grabbed Gerard's bag and quickly walked past a stunned Mrs Urie.
"We'll be back for detention. But right now this is- yeah."I rushed out after Gerard and found him glaring at a grinning Cole. The principal and counsellor were watching with interesting looks on their faces.
"What do you think I meant?"Cole drawled.
"I swear to fucking god if you have done something to him."Gerard snarled.
"We'll see."Cole smiled and sauntered off.

"Gerard no!"I grabbed the back of his jacket to stop him from getting to Cole. He kept struggling against me so I said,"Gerard! Snap out of it! We need to call Pete!"
"Fuck."Gerard mumbled and pulled out his phone. He pressed a few buttons and put the phone to his ear,"Come on pick up pick up pick uup."
I paced around Gerard impatiently.
"Pete? Pete are you okay? Oh thank god! Where- oh. Okay. Thats- worrying. Hmm... Right. Okay well uh- we'll come get you. No no its fine its only english.... Ha yeah... Okay see you."Gerard hung up and smiled at me,"He was bluffing. But Pete's room was trashed."
"Okay well lets go then."I gave Gerard his bag and took his hand. We didnt bother signing out or anything we just went straight to his car and left.

-time lapse-

"How do you know it was Cole?"Pete asked.
"Because he asked us if we had seen you and- this is just his style. I can tell. He wants to scare you and Mikey and then he thinks he is gonna get you. Its ridiclous."Gerard sighed as he put posters back on the walls.

"Fuck! He ripped my fucking music sheets! That bastard!"Pete shouted suddenly. His room was a mess. His mattress had literally been pulled off, his posters had been taken off the walls and everything on his desk had been shoved to the floor.
"What the fuck."I sighed and fell onto my butt on his chair.
"Dont worry Pete, we'll get him."Gerard placed his hand on Pete's shoulder then walked out of the room.

"Okay..."I went to go follow him but thought better of it. Pete's room needed to be sorted out. I stood up and hauled his mattress back onto his bed. I bunched his blankets up as best as I could and dumped them on his bed.
"Fuck I'm gonna kill that stupid mother fucking idiotic douche bag of a dick."Pete scowled as he put his bass back in its stand. Thankfully it was in one piece.
"I'll hold him down for you."I said as I put everything back on his desk.

"I wouldnt let the cops hear you say that."Gerard said as he walked back in the room, snapping his phone just.
"Well I'm hardly going to go saying something like that around them am I?"Pete grumbled.
"No- nevermind. Mikey's okay, he's just at work and now he is really mad. Also the cops are meeting us at Lily's school."Gerard smiled.
"What? Why?"Pete stopped what he was doing and looked at Gerard like he was insane.
"I'm fucking sick of that bastard! He deserves everything thats fucking coming to him. Like, prison maybe? Breaking and entering, kidnapping Lily, assault."Gerard ticked them all off his hand.

"Yeah but isnt he-"
Gerard interrupted me,"He turned 18 two weeks ago so now he fucking paying for it."He gave me a grin.
"Great well lets fucking do it!"Pete slapped his hands together and grinned at us both.
"Alright. Lets go to Lily's school. Boy is she gonna get a shock if the cops get there first."I smiled as Gerard grabbed his keys and we all left.

-time lapse-

"You want me to what?! Are you fucking serious?! Please tell me you're joking."Lily pinched the bridge between her eyes and waited for us to tell her we were joking. We didnt.
"Lily. Put it this way. If you tell the cops then Cole will be out of our lives. For good."Gerard grabbed her hand before she could go back to her class. Lily's face contorted slightly in frustration.
"Fuck. I didnt want to tell anyone though."Lily sighed,"You guys fucking owe me okay?"
"Why? He only kidnapped you..."Pete looked at Lily weirdly.
"Right... Yeah. Um. Cops are here."She pointed out the front doors to the cop car pulling up outside.
"Jesus. Cant believe I'm doing this."Lily sighed as we walked out.

Before the police reached us I grabbed Lily and pulled her back,"They did only kidnap you right?"I scanned her face. She was hiding something.
"I- yeah..."Lily looked away.
"Lily. What arent you telling me?"I said seriously.
"Later Frank. Okay?"She waved her hand, apparently dismissing me, and walked over to where Pete was talking to the police.

What the fuck was she keeping from me? And why? And why was I only just finding out something else happened that night? All completely unanswerable right now. I mentally shook my head and walked over to join them.
"... And my bloody music sheets had been ripped. I spent ages writing that."Pete grumbled and folded his arms.
"Right and... why did we need to be here? We do need to take a look at the room."The tallest of the police said as he wrote things down on a notebook. He had a bristley moustache and thick eyebrows. The shorter one was huge around his waist and was also bald. There wasn't even one hair anywhere on his face.

"Thats because of me. I would like to report a- a kidnapping."Lily glanced at me before staring at the ground.
"And who was kidnapped?"The shorter one sighed.
"Me."
"You? When?"
"Uh before christmas."Lily muttered.

"Before christmas?! Why are you only just speaking up about it?"The tall one burst out.
"I uh- can- can we do this in private? Please?"Lily's eyes were darting around in panic.
"Sure sweetie. Come on, we'll go sit over on that bench and you can tell me all about it."The taller one took Lily's hand and gently guided her over to a long bench.
"Right. So you think it was who?"The shorter guy turned back to Gerard.

"This guy in our school. Pete- only turns up for music but- anyway. This guy, he has this grudge against me. He used to bully the shit out of because I'm gay and one day they cornered me and-"
"I know you two... You're the uh- the..."The guy snapped his fingers together,"You were the victims in that case with Dean."He looked at me then at Gerard and his face hardened.

"Yeah thats us. Anyway I uh I got really mad and long story short, he has a burn scar across his chest so he has always had this thought in his mind to get revenge on me. Like, first he kidnapped Lily to get to Frank to get to me and then he threatened my brother and then in class just before Frank and I went to Pete's to-"Gerard broke off as the shorter cop grabbed my arm.
"She wants you there. Said she'll only be able to get this out once and she needs to tell you."He said sadly.
"Oh- okay. I'll uh... Yeah."I muttered and followed him over to where Lily was crying silently on the bench.

"Alright, so you were saying sweet?"The man said as we sat down.
Lily didnt look up from her lap but her hand flung out and grabbed at me. I knelt down on the ground next to her and grabbed both her sweaty hands in mine as she said,"He uh... Cole he um. He said that if I told anyone he would kill Claire and I- fuck. Um. He- he r-raped-"Lily broke into tears again as a familiar anger started growing inside of me.

"Alright sweety I think thats all we need to know. You dont need to worry okay? We'll get him. Its all gonna be okay."The man said as he pulled out a notebook and started writing things down. I squeezed Lily's hands before standing up.
"This is not even fucking fair. I dont understand why this keeps happening to you Lily. Its not right. I'm going to punch the living daylights out of him."I growled as I let go of Lily and started pacing.

"FUCK!"I screamed. Lily did not deserve to get raped. Again. I just couldnt wrap my head around it.
"Frank are you okay?"Gerard came rushing over, Pete and the other officer close behind.
"No I'm fucking not! I'm gonn fucking kill him!"I screeched. Gerard grabbed my hands and pulled me close to him.

"Shhh its okay Frank, c'mere. Its okay shhhh."He said as I sagged against him like a deflated balloon.
"He needs to pay Gerard. I dont care if I go to prison he is going to pay."I whispered.
"Dont talk like that Frankie its okay. Shh its gonna be alright."He whispered back, kissing the top of my head. I closed my eyes and clung to his jacket. He made me feel so much better.

-time lapse-

"Right we'll call you when the time comes. Thank you for telling me."The shorter cop, Jeremy, smiled at Lily. She nodded and smilde back.
"Lets go Jeremy. They're waiting for us."The taller cop whose name was still unknown sighed. He was obviously fed up. He walked over to their squad car and got in.
"Sorry about him. He's been working all week on a case that just got reassigned to someone else. He aint slept all that much. See you kids later."The man saluted us and got in the car with him.

"Right well... Mum is gonna be home soon so lets clean my room up."Pete smiled as we went back into the house.
"Fuck no. I've gotta get to the house. Sorry. Gerard can help though."I winked at him as I stopped at the door.
"Fuck you."Gerard gave me an annoyed look as Pete left us alone. Lily was sitting down on the curb waiting for me.
"Ooh yes please."I grinned as he pulled me close and tilted my head up.

I stood on my tiptoes and whispered,"Love you."Then kissed him quickly.
"Love you too."Gerard whispered back before kissing me back, holding me in place. I smiled against his lips when Lily shouted a complain out.
"I'll see you tomorrow Gerard."I said once he had let me go.
"Not if I end up coming over tonight."Gerard called as I backed away.
"Whatever. I dont mind. I'll see you when I see you."I blew him a kiss and waved. He waved back and went inside.

"Come on then. Lets go home."I pulled Lily up from the curb, keeping a hold of her hand.
"I just want this all to be over."She sighed as she leaned against me. I let go of her hand and wrapped my arm around her shoulders as we started walking.
"I know. Me too."I sighed right back at her,"We just have to wait for this to be over. It'll get better. I promise."
