"What is this? Frank this is brilliant."Mr Stump held my drawing up and stared at it. I stared at it as well. At the terror on her face. At my crying eyes. At Him running towards us down the street.

"Frank this is amazing. This- can I put this on the wall?"He asked me. I looked at it and decided that I wanted it for myself.
"No. I need it."I said weakly.

"Oh okay... Do you wanna talk about this?"He asked me. Mr Stump must have had fucking super powers or something. He knew something was wrong but I wasn't going to talk to him about it. I needed Lily.

"I'm good.'I smiled at him as he handed it back to me and went over to Gerard who was still drawing whatever.
"Oh my. Something that excites you aye? Something different."He laughed as he looked down at Gerard's sketchbook.

"Yeah yeah whatever. Any improvements?"Gerard glared up at him. When it came to his art Gerard didn't really like peoples judgement for some reason but he always asked if it could be better.

"Yeah that bit right there. Compare it to the real life uh... Image."Mr Stump pointed to the drawing. Gerard looked at him and nodded.

"Well we have to get to music now so I will fix it another time."Gerard snapped it shut and stood up,"Come on Frank. Time to go."
"Kay. Bye."I waved t0 Mr Stump and carefully placed my drawing in my bag.

"Can I uh see your drawing?"I asked Gerard once we were outside.
"If I can see yours."Gerard smiled at me.
"No."I said immediately. I didn't want anyone to see it. I hadn't even want Mr Stump to see it. He had fucking snatched it from me before I could stop him.

"Then there you go. Come on, Mikey is coming in today."Gerard smiled as we trudged across the school and into an area that hadn't been to before. There was one long building with three rooms. We went into the middle one.

"Gee!"Someone screamed and banged into Gerard, sending him back a few steps.
"Pete get the fuck off me."Gerard grumbled. The boy detached himself and grinned at Gerard.

He had short black hair and shit loads of eye liner smeared around his eyes.
"Who's this?"Pete asked as he looked at me.

"This is Frank. He started yesterday."Gerard gestured to me and walked inside as Pete locked eyes on my scorpion tattoo. His fingers slowly moved up towards it and he started tracing it.

"I love your tattoo. Like, seriously, I have pretty much my whole sleeve fucking planned and a shit load of others."He grinned at me and stopped touching my neck. He was pretty damn cute. I was half tempted to life up my top and show him my chest piece.

"So! What do you think of Gerard?"Pete asked me quietly as we walked inside the room properly.
"Uhhh..."
"He's hot right?"He grinned at me. I blushed and nodded as I watched him talk to a kid with sweeping black hair and glasses. He also had an Anthrax top on. I liked him already.

"I prefer his brother though..."Pete sighed and looked at the kid with glasses.
"Thats Mikey?"I asked him.
"Yup. Such an amazing person... Eh em if you know, you uh, like um..."Pete mumbled off and turned away from me. That was adorable.

"So who else is in this class?"I asked him.
"We got two more guys coming in. They skip french to come jam with us."He said as he sat down at a desk.

"Oh cool. What about the teacher?"I asked him.
"Oh! Mrs Bellato. She's cool with whatever we do, so long as its music related."Pete smiled and pointed as she walked in the door.

I sat down and looked at everyone. Bob had just walked in the door and was making a beeline to a set of drums in the corner. Mikey and Gerard were arguing over- Gerards sketchbook. Mrs Bellato was sitting down at a desk, listening to her headphones while writing something down. Ray was sitting huddled with his guitar in another corner, strumming something out.

"Hey Frank, wanna come sign this for me?"Mrs Bellato suddenly called. I looked over at her, shocked that she knew my name.
"Uhh yeah?"I slowly walked up to her and looked down at the piece of paper.

"What is it?"
"So you dont have to do homework."She winked at me. I saw tattoos curling out from underneath her top and covering her arms. This chick was awesome.
"Oh right. Sweet."I smiled at her and signed at the bottom.

"Thanks! Right, there are three rules to this class. Number one, no bullying whatsoever. None of those douchy jocks take this class, its just you guys. So you are all equal okay? Rule number two, there isnt any actual work. So long as you try play a few songs on some things, try write some music, its all sweet. Rule number three. Have some fucking fun!"She grinned at my blank face.

A teacher just fucking swore in front of me. Holy shit.
"Okay... I think I have a new favourite class."I smiled at her as she put her headphones back in and grabbed a bass I hadnt noticed sitting behind her. Shit it was beautiful.

I turned away and walked into the middle of the classroom. I had no idea what the fuck I was supposed to do. Gerard was sitting with Mikey still looking upset and embarrassed, Bob way playing the drums, and shit he was fucking good at it, and Ray was starting to tune into Bobs drumming and play along to it.

"Guys can we like- um. Play something together?"I asked sheepishly.
"Sure. What can you play?"Gerard stood up and left Mikey. He went over to Bob and grabbed some microphone stands I hadnt seen.

"Mrs Bellato!"Mikey yelled at her. She looked up and saw what Gerard was doing.
"What are we playing today?"She asked as she got up and came over with her bass guitar.

"We dont know. Frank wants to play with us."Ray said as he came over as well and stood behind a microphone on bobs far left.
"Well Frank what sort of guitar can you play?"Mrs Bellato looked at me as she pulled over some amps.

"Um. Rhythm?"I asked. I was starting to regret this. I couldn't actually play that well and I didn't even have a fucking guitar.
"Perfect. That part was usually played by a guy called Jon but he left last year."Mikey said as he was putting a bass over his shoulder.

"Dude."I sighed and went to look at it.
"I know, my pride and joy."Mikey grinned as he hugged it close to him.
"Do you have a guitar Frank?"Pete grabbed me from behind. Whoa.

"Uh no. Sadly I do not."I sighed again and took a step away from the whole setup.
"Okay. Lemme go get you one from the other room."Mrs Bellato said and left us alone.

"So what can you play then?"Gerard asked me.
"Uhm. American Idiot?"I asked them hopefully.
"Fuck yeah!"Pete yelled in my ear and let go of me. I glanced at Mikey who was looking very stony and something else. Jealous?

"Lets fucking do it!"Bob yelled. He started thumping out a beat that Ray and Mikey started playing to. My skin started crawling as I realised how fucking much I wanted to be behind that third microphone.

Holy fucking god. Gerard had just started singing. Jesus fucking christ. I quickly moved to a seat and sat down to try and hide the hard on that was brought on by Gerard looking at me intensely as he sung. Fuck me.

Mrs Bellato came back in and rushed to my side, handing me the guitar. I took it from here, completely forgetting about my problem, and went straight to the third microphone. I listened for a second before picking where I needed to start.

I grinned as I actually played a real fucking guitar with a group of guys who were fucking awesome. I closed my eyes and let myself go. The last time I had listened to this was with Claire on the morning those bastards came. I opened my eyes and found I was crying. Immediately I stopped playing and left the set up. Everyone else stopped playing and looked at me, confused.

"I um. I just- th-that song has uh a lot of um memories and um G-Gerard you know what i'm talking about right?"I looked at him as I couldnt stop the tears from rolling down my cheeks.

"Of course. Lily and Claire right?"He asked as he came to me and pulled me into a hug. His hugs were the fucking best. I took a deep shaky breath in and pulled away.

"We need to find them."I sighed. He nodded and sat me down slowly at a round table.
"So, what do we have to go by?"He asked me. Everyone else slowly realised the jam was over so Mikey went to sit with Pete, Mrs Bellato started packing everything away and Bob and Ray huddled together and started writing some things down

"Uhm. Nothing?"I slumped onto the table and buried my head in my arms.
"Okay... Did The Mace say anything at all about where they went?"He asked me.

"No..."I mumbled,"Except!"I snapped my head up, giving myself whiplash,"The day the couple came to visit they said they live right next to school."

"Perfect! After school we can go for a drive by and see if they are around. On the weekend we can go knocking."Gerard smiled at me. I nodded and smiled at him, staring at his gorgeous bright green eyes. He stared right back at mine, sending shivers down my spine.

Shit, was he getting closer? Oh fuck he was. Shit what do I do? Fuck fuck fuuuuck!
"Hey Gee, um."Mikey turned up next to the table, breaking the contact and creating awkwardness.

"What?"Gerard said angrily and glared up at Mikey.
"Uh Ian needs you at the store tomorrow."Mikey said and held up his phone. I wanted a phone.
"Oh right. Tell him okay. Except I cant until after art."Gerard said and glanced over at his bag. I really wanted to see his drawing.

"Kay. I'll tell him."Mikey smiled at Gerard, winked at me then walked back over to Pete.
"Ian owns the comic book store."Gerard explained unnecessarily. I nodded and looked over at Pete and Mikey. Oh my they had their tongues down each others throats.

"Look."I nodded in their direction and tried to ignore the flutters in my stomach as Gerard fucking snorted. Never in my life had I thought of a snort as cute.

"About fucking time."Gerard mumbled. We both jumped as the bell rang and signaled the end of one of the greatest lessons in my whole entire life.

"Wonder why Ry and Brendon didnt turn up."Ray said as he put his guitar in a case. I watched it the whole time.
"Wait, Ryan Ross?"I asked everyone that had gathered around Gerard and I's table for some reason.

"Yeah. Why?"Pete asked me.
"Oh uh, he lives at the halfway house with me and Gerard and he was at the house before with me for a bit."I mumbled.

"Pfft, thats exaggerating a bit don't you think?"Bob scoffed at me.
"Uhh how?"I looked up at him as I slung my bag over my shoulder and we started walking in a group to the door, Pete and Mikey holding hands.

"See ya later Bella!"Ray called.
"Bye boys. I'll see you all tonight right?"She asked as Gerard took the lead and opened the door.
"Yup. Although I dont think Mikey will be there."Ray laughed as Bob wolf whistled.

When we were outside I noticed that Pete and Mikey were walking a little apart and were no longer holding hands. Instead everyone had sort of formed a circle around me. What the fuck.

"Uh guys? I'm not a fucking kid, I can defend myself you know."I pushed through to the front before my claustrophobia set in. No one said anything but Gerard suddenly made his way to the front of the group and started walking next to me.

"What do you have now?"He asked me quietly as we marched towards the main building.
"Uhm. Hold up lemme check."I said as I started rummaging around in my bag and produced my timetable,"History."

"Cool. You wanna skip and come to the coffee shop again?"He asked me. I thought about it for all of about two seconds before nodding.
"I want another coffee."I grinned. He smiled back as we all altered our direction towards the field.

"What about Bobs car?"I asked as the field came into site.
"I'll get it later for when we go home. I wanna go back to art before I take you back so I'll be going back through the school anyway."Gerard informed me.

"Oh no you don't. I don't want you to leave my car on school grounds when you aren't. Do you not realise what those fuckwits will do to it?"Bob came around in front of Gerard and stopped him walking. I stopped as well but everyone continued walking as Bob and Gerard had thei little spat.

"Okay okay, I'll go get it now and meet you all at the coffee house."Gerard sighed and turned around.
"You coming Frank?"Mikey asked, ahead with the others. I looked back at Gerard who was looking at me.

"Do you want someone to go with you?"I asked Gerard, meaning I wanted to be alone with him so fucking badly.
"Uhh sure, if you're offering?"He raised a hopeful eyebrow at me. I nodded and waved to the guys. It was nice having proper friends for once.

"Thanks for joining me on this epic journey."Gerard joked. I laughed slightly and kept my head down and my arms folded.
"What are you doing tonight?"I asked quietly. I really wanted to join him and not be stuck in the room with Jack all fucking night.

"Oh um. Well, you know how the coffee house has the whole live music thing going on?"Gerard asked me. When I nodded he continued,"Me and the guys will play there occasionally. Whenever we play we get a prwetty sweet turn up."

"Really? Thats awesome!"I exclaimed as we rounded into the carpark.
"Yeah it is pretty sweet."Gerard grinned at me as he unlocked the car. I had my hand on the door handle, about to get in, when Gerards hand was on mine. The sudden warmth from his hand spread into mine and went straight to my cheeks.

"What uh what are you doing?"I asked slowly. I didnt dare turn to face him for fear of me fucking it all up.
"Well can I see your face?"He whispered in my ear. I nodded and slowly turned to face him. He was so close I could feel his warm breath smelling of coffee on my cold face.

He didnt move at all, just stared at me, in my eyes.
"You have gorgeous eyes. They're like a swirling pool of hazel."He whispered. I felt myself shiver,"I would love to draw them one day."

"Ouhh um."I inhaled at the thought of Gerard drawing my eyes. I watched him as his eyes darted down from my eyes to my lips and back again. I could see something in them. Desire. A strong desire for- fuck, me. Jesus christ I had no idea what to do. I wanted to kiss him so fucking bad but what if he didnt want- fuck.

I grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him closer, following my instincts as his lips moved against mine. They were so fucking soft. Softer than Stevens. Okay dont make fucking comparisons like that, dont even think of that when you are fucking kissing someone. Far out.

Our eyes were closed. Well mine were anyway. I sure as hell fucking hoped his were otherwise this would have been awkward.

I felt Gerards hands on my waist as he pushed me up against the car. Jesus this was fucking hot. I didn't want it to ever end. Ever. He swiped his tongue against my lips and my mouth opened of its own accord. When did I say they could do that? Fuck it felt good to have his tongue in my mouth.

He licked the roof of my mouth as he moved his hands up my sides and into my hair. I dragged my hands down his front, not really noticing what they were doing until I realised they were starting to undo his belt buckle. Fuck.

"Mmph- Frank. Not in the fucking carpark."He giggled against my lips.
"Ihm sorry."I smiled and opened my eyes. He was smiling at me. I grinned at him as he opened the car door behind me.

"I think I might blow the guys off for tonight."He winked at me. What the fuck did that mean?
"Um."Was all I said. Was all I could say after that mindblowing kiss.

"Fucking disgusting fags."Someone said behind us. I glanced over Gerards shoulder as he spun around and stayed in front of me. One of Coles mates was skulking around. Weird.
"Fuck off dickwad."Gerard rolled his eyes and motioned for me to get in the car. I did so and watched as he shut the door and went round to the drivers side.

"What the fuck is he doing just watching us- just standing around like that?"I asked as Gerard locked the doors and started the car. I looked out the window to see that the guy wasgone. What the fuck was going on?

"I dunno. I dont like it though. Maybe we should walk. For all we know he could have fucking done something to the car."Gerard sighed and turned the car off again.
"Like what?"I asked him and I tried searching for the guy. He was literally no where to be seen.

"I dunno. I don't think they know much about cars but one of them knows how to fucking cut brakes. Jesus christ okay. Um. Do you know anything about cars?"He asked me hopefully.

"Not one useful fact."I replied.
"Shit... Um. Lets just have a look around and see if there are any cut wires?"Gerard shrugged his shoulders at me.

"Kay. Where are we looking?"I asked him.
"I'll look underneath of the car, you can look underneath the staring wheel."Gerard said as he got out, leaving the door open.

"See anything?"I called as I tried to see underneath.
"Nope. You?"He called back.
"No- not mu- fuck get off me!"I yelped as hands grabbed me under my arms and dragged me out of the car, banging my head on the door in the process.

"Hey get the fuck off him!"Gerard yelled as he got out from under the car. I couldnt see who had their hands on me but whoever it was, they were fucking huge and strong.
"Um let me see... No?"The deep voice said behind me. I recognised that voice slightly. But couldnt recall from where.

"Dude get the fuck off him or your buddy Cole will have an even bigger fucking scar."Gerard growled. He wasnt getting closer but my captor had stopped moving as well. I struggled to get out of his vice grip but his hands wouldnt budge.

"Wait!"I shouted suddenly.
"Frank shush I will sort this."Gerard never took his eyes off the douchebag holding me.

"No. I know what to do. If he doesnt let me go, we can just fuck him up the arse and tell everyone he fucking liked it."I said happily. It wasnt very funny but it made the guy loosen his grip in fear of being fucked up the arse.

"Frank that would actually be a shit load of fun!"Gerard grinned. The grip was loosened more.
"I dont have any lube left though."I pretended to be sad.
"Thats okay, we'll just do it dry, more fucking pleasure for us that way."Gerard winked at my captor who immediately let go of me. I turned around before he could run and grabbed his junk. Jesus he was fucking huge.

"Wow, you're huge! Can you give? I dont mind taking."I winked at him as well. He looked at me, fear blooming in his eyes as I gave his dick a hard squeeze, making him whimper in pain before letting go.

"Frank that was fucking hilarious."Gerard smiled as he ran to me and held me close. I wrapped my arms around him and breathed in his scent.
"I try."I smiled up at him. He grinned down at me and kissed me on the nose. I smiled to myself as we got in the car.

"Hold on I gotta take this."Gerard held up his hand as he opened his ringing phone.
"Yeah yeah we are on our way. We had a little trouble with one of the fuckwits Bob was talking about but otherwise we are good. Yeah okay whatever. Tell him to keep calm. There is nothing wrong with his fucking car."Gerard grumbled and ran a hand through his hair. Hair that I really wanted to touch for fucking ever.

"Right lets go."He smiled at me and started the car and left the school.
