Risky And Complicated, Confused And New

I got suspended for what I did to Ray, and that means spending 3 days with my Father. I hate to think this but I am actually starting to think he's going to kill me. He is getting so out of control and he's getting worse and worse with age, now that I have 3 days alone with him I think he's gonna actually do it this time.
I have no friends anymore at school, and when I get back I am sure I'm going to get bullied. Everyone hates me and if my Father does kill me.. I don't think I'd mind anymore.

I walk into my "home" and close the door behind me, I shake as I move closer and closer to the living room.
"H-hey Dad." I mumble.
"Yes, I heard the news. Got a call from the school. You're not getting away with this again son!" My Fathers says, then starts moving fast towards me and moves his arms out to grab me, I slither underneath them and run outside the door.
"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE FAGGOT!!!" My Father calls after me. I run and run through the familiar streets, dodging letterbox's and people walking dogs then it starts to rain, I'm still running, my Father just a few metres behind me, he slips in the watery mud and falls on his back.
"Ouch!!!" He yells.
I keep on running and running until I enter the forest, I run through the trees and hide in the bushes. The rain pours down and I shiver rocking in a fetal position and begin to cry hysterically.
"I HATE MY LIFE!" I yell in anger.

I suddenly hear some light footsteps approaching me at high speed, crunching up the leaves as their feet tap against them.
"Frank?!" a worried voice calls, "FRANK!!!???" The boy yells terrifiedly.
"Gerard?" I whisper.
I watch him through the bushes and he sees me hiding there, he quickly runs over and crawls into the bush with me.
He takes a look at me and hugs me tight into his warm arms.
"I saw you running past the school at breaktime.." He whispers into my ear, "..with a scary man chasing you, so I followed you to make sure you were alright!" He sniffs and hugs me tighter, "Are you okay?"
"No, no I'm not. I'm not okay. And I didn't know I ran so far. That scary man is my Father and he is always beating me but don't worry he's not going to anymore." I cry into his shoulder.
"Why not anymore?" He says pulling away to look me in the eyes.
"I don't want to live anymore" I cry even harder and bring my knees up to my chest to bury my head in.
"NO, NO!" Gerard screams, pushing my knees down and hugging me again, "Please don't hurt yourself Frank." He bawls "Don't you have a Mummy?"
"N-no" I weep.
"Then I'll protect you!" Gerard pulls away to wipe some tears off his face, he then wipes away some of mine too with his sleeve, "You can live with me now. I don't mind." Gerard cries.
"Thankyou, but it's okay. Your parents won't want me, and you wouldn't after a while.." I say wiping my nose, "..and if my Father kills me, I wouldn't mind anymore."
"Don't say that!" Gerard howls, "Please just stay with me!" Gerard sobs. "Come on, just come with me. Right now, to your new home." He blubbers, he takes my shaky hands and pulls me up and puts his arm around me.
"Gerard.." I sniff, "You really don't have to-"
"JUST LET ME TAKE CARE OF YOU FRANKIE!" He screams in anger, pulling me even closer to him and hugging me tighter than ever.
"Ow" I moan quietly as he pushes against my bruises.
"What?!!"
"N..nothing" I stutter, he unzips my coat and lifts up my shirt to reveal the bruises, then quickly pulls it back down and re-zips my coat. Gerard begins to sob again and puts both of his arms around me again.
"The torture is over now, Frankie. You live with me, I'll love you and will never let anyone hurt you again" He whispers, "You're my only friend. You mean more than anything to me now."
"You're my only friend too Gerard." I say taking his hand.
"Come on let's head home, and get you cleaned up and make you feel better." Gerard suggests still crying a bit.
He takes my hand again and silently leads me through the forest to get to my new home.
