My -High School- Romance
Chapter 9
"Hey, Gee."
"Uuuugh mom do you have to do that every morning."
Gerard's mother sighed. "Yes son, it is my duty as your mother to annoy you every day of your life. Now, get out of bed. It's time to get up."
Gerard groaned. "Fine."
Gerard's mother left, so it was safe for him to take his face out of his pillow. Shit, if she saw then I'd be dead, he thought to himself.
He got out of bed and stared at himself for a moment in the mirror. He really did hate his body. The way his ribs stuck out, and his stomach caved in from all the meals he skipped. He just hated it. The dark, greasy hair; the tiny nose that was just there. It was all horrible, he had thought.
He slipped on his clothes again and ran out of the door, without his mother being able to stop him in time.
"Byeeee." He called.
*****
Gerard was really afraid of going to school, to be honest. He didn't want to get beat up. He didn't want to have a panic attack over a small test every day. School was unhealthy. It wasn't fair.
"Hey, Gerard!" Mikey called from behind him. "Hey, wait up!"
Gerard turned and frowned. What do you want, Mikey.
Mikey caught up with him and patted him on the shoulder. "Hey dude. Woah, crap! What happened to your face?!"
Oh crap: He forgot.
Mikey put his finger to Gerard's jaw, over his bruise.
Gerard hissed. Ow, that fucking hurts Mikey, he thought. He flinched a little and knodded to suggest they continue walking.
"What happened Gerard?" Mikey asked.
Gerard sighed. "Nothing..."
Mikey rolled his eyes and repeated himself. "What happened, Gerard."
"I said nothing, Mikey. Fucking hell leave me alone."
Gerard ran off ahead, head in hands.
'Jesus fucking christ Mikey, just leave me alone.'
*****
Gerard sighed dropping his bag next to his desk. Everythingwas just shit, wasn't it? Yep. Oh my god he just wanted to die so much. He couldn't even look at his own boyfriend in public without getting the shit kicked out of him.
"Hey, Gee." Frank smiled.
Gerard knodded, turning his head away.
"Psst, Gerard." Frank whispered. "You alright?"
Gerard shook his head, covering his face up with his hands. His whole world was spinning and he wanted to scream out. He flinched at his own touch, his jaw stinging and his whole world blurring.
Frank stood up and kneeled beside Gerard. "Hey, baby, don't worry." He looked around to see if anyone hear him- apparently not. He touched Gerard's hair, combing the back of his hair with his fingers.
"Breath." He paused. "Slowly..."
Hr put his hand around Gerard so he could feel hus heart- it was racing.
"Um Miss," Frank started. "Can I take Gerard outside for a second, I think he's having a panic attack."
The teacher knodded, twiddling her hair between her index finger and thumb. "Sure, get him a drink too."
Frank lead Gerard out, ignoring the muttering and calling out of the word 'fag' from around the classroom.
Gerard's hand was still over his face. Where are you even taking me, Frank, Gerard thought. He was sweating and could hardly breath.
"Hey, take your hand off you're face." Frank said, his face an inch away from Gerard's face. "Let me see."
Gerard shook his head. No. I don't want you to see, he thought. He felt Frank's cold hands around his face. Fine, he thought, and took his hands off his face. They were outside, next to the bike shed. Mmm, classy... Gerard looked down at his feet.
Frank frowned, tracing around the bruise with his finger. "That's really bad, Gerard. Did you put something on it?"
"No." Gerard whispered.
He looked into Frank's eyes, only just realising how much shorter Frank was than himself. Infact, he had to go up on his tip-toes to be eye-to-eye with Gerard. It was so cute.
Gerard's subconcious smile made Frank giggle a little, bringing his face even closer to Gerard.
Frank brought his lips to Gerard's neck, watching his face. Gerard looked startled, the smile still on his face. It was hidden, but still there.
Gerard let his mouth fall onto Frank's forehead, slowly wrapping his arms around Frank's waist. He loved the way he just stood there, kissing him.
"I love you." Frank whispered, holding Gerard's tie in his hands
"Mhm." Gerard said, tucking Frank's hair behind his ears. "You too." Gerard stared down into his eyes. His voiced lowered as he repeated himself. "You too."
Notes
