Cries Not Heard

Gerard’s POV

“Wake up, Gerard! We’re running late. I don’t want to get another lecture from Mum about how important school is!” Mikey called through the door.

Gerard groaned as he woke up. Sighing he got up from his bed and put on what appeared to be a somewhat clean looking band tee, his leather jacket, and a pair of black skinny jeans. Not bothering to take a shower, he ran his brush through his hair and applied eyeliner. Noting that he looked good to go once done with his morning routine his stole one last glance at his bed in longing before calling his brother to his room.

“Yes, Gerard?” Mikey looked perfect. Everything from his chocolate colored hair that perfectly framed his face to his adorable glasses, top that off with his beanie and a simple black tee, he was just the definition of perfection.

Gerard brought Mikey into a hug before kissing him on the lip gently.

“Morning, beautiful.” He murmured against the other’s lips. He felt Mikey smile and arms wrap around him before he was pecked on the lips.

“Good morning, love.” Giving Gerard one last peck to the lips he turned around. “Come on, we wouldn’t want Mum to get worried and come up and find us.”Gathering his book bag and art supplies, they headed down together and grabbed a quick to-go breakfast.

Walking to school was rather uneventful, to which Gerard was rather grateful for. He was sipping on my coffee while Mikey was eating a piece of bread. School was five minutes away and he was already dreading it. All the kids were utter asshats and decided to take out their problem on him, just because he looked different and knew that he wouldn’t fight back.

“Love, did you eat anything this morning?” Mikey looked over at Gerard concerned as he came out of his daze.

“Sorry?” He asked sheepishly.

“Did you eat?” Mikey repeated, his face blank.

Gerard looked at his feet. “Of course I did.” He mumbled.

“Gerard,” he sighed. “Please just eat a little at lunch today.” Gerard nodded with a jerk, his expression blank. He really didn’t want to gain what little weight he lost. He could see the outline of his stomach through his shirt and he really didn’t want to see himself fatter than he already was.

Mikey was at a loss at what he could do to help his brother and lover. It pained him to see his brother suffering in such a way and the only thing he could do was to try and get him to see himself in a better light and to try and get him to eat. Mikey knew he was too light but trying to get Gerard to eat was like trying to get a bull to move when unwanted.

School quickly appeared in sight and they both let out a groan. Checking to see if anyone was near or watching, they gave a quick parting kiss before they started to play the part of brothers and nothing more. Gerard could already hear their taunting and feel the pain that was sure to come just as it does every day.

Walking through the school gate, they bid their farewells and promises to meet up at lunch to each other before walking off to their respective classes. Gerard tried to get to his class as quick as possible, but it seemed that his tormentors were one step ahead of him as always. Pulling him up by his hair, a jock by the name of Jake whatever his last name was, slammed him into a locker before dragging him into the abandoned bathroom. Throwing Gerard to grimy floor of the bathroom, Jake and his friends circled around him, preventing any means of escape.

“Hey, faggot. Nice seeing you on the floor like that. Bet it gets you off, huh?” He delivered a swift kick to Gerard’s chest, an invite for all his little groupies to start in on him as well. Several hard punches to the jaw sent his vision swarming. His mind was slowly weathered down over the years of abuse from his peers and his pain intolerance has increased greatly because it but they always found a way to make it hurt more than it should. After the last few hit were delivered they all dusted themselves off, all leaving but Jake.

“Just remember fat-ass, don’t tell anybody, not even your precious Mikey.” Gerard’s breath hitched for a moment before rational thought entered his mind once more. He didn’t know about he and Mikey. They kept their secret so tightly locked that no one would ever know. It would be disastrous if they did know, deadly even.

Throwing one last punch to Gerard’s gut, Jake crackled and finally left.

Gerard felt on the verge of hyperventilation. Taking a few deep gulps of air, he slowly gets up from his position on the floor and lens on the wall. He noticed in one of the cracked mirrors of the bathroom that he was bleeding from his head and back rather hard. After cleaning himself up a bit, he limped out of the bathroom and stepped into the halls. He needed bandages before he lost too much blood but the walk to the nurse’s office was agonizingly slow and painful. Taking a second to lean against the wall to catch his breath, he was startled when he heard an abrupt gasp and footsteps rushing over to him. He didn’t even hear the footsteps arrive in the first place. He must be worse than he thought.

Gerard felt some of the weight taken off his hurt leg and looked over to see a boy that couldn’t have been taller than 5’2 helping support his weight. The boy was cute he noted in the back of his mind before he felt his mind whirl and saw his vision blur.

“You’re gonna be alright, you hear? I’m gonna take you to the nurse’s, just whatever you do, don’t pass out.”

“You’ll be okay.” was the last thing he heard before slipped away into sweet nothingness.
