What doesn't destroy you, leaves you broken instead.

When school arrived the next day, I didn't know what to do. Would frank talk to me? Would he tell his friends not to bully me? My mind was racing and I couldn't focus.
Finally, lunch came. It was normal at first; walk into the cafeteria, pretend I'm normal, get a tiny lunch, pretend I'm healthy, go outside, pretend, pretend, pretend. but then I heard someone calling my name. I whipped around, no one calls my name. I'm the emo art fag. I turned to see Frank waving wildly at me, and Mikey looking like he wanted to kill me. The thing was, I didn't live with Frank. Mikey could, and has, hurt me and I did not want to risk that. I turned away sharply and stiffly walked out the doors.
Of course, it doesn't end like that. The doors opened and out came Frank. He was frowning and it made me sick. I pushed away my salad.
"Hey," he muttered. "I um, thought we were cool. Were cool right?"
"Yeah, yeah. Of course we are. Its just Mikey..." I whispered in that tiny voice of mine.
"Oh. Well we can sit out here. I mean, if you'd like,"
And then I smiled. A true, genuine smile, that only a few people had seen. I was opening up to Frank Iero.
