Please Don't Take This Out On Me

"Frank?" Gerard called after a few minutes and I jumped and hit my head on the table. Fuck. Maybe hiding wouldn't work after all.
Gerard crouched down and looked at me from under the table curiously. "Come on sweetheart, it's not that bad I promise." I whimpered a bit and shook my head. I couldn't look at a cut up pig. Pigs were amazing creatures. They were so cute and friendly and didn't deserve to be murdered so grade 11's could look at their insides for god knows what reason.
Gerard held out his hand and I took it hesitantly. I could trust him. It's not like he'd pelt me with pig guts or anything...
I crawled out from under the table and Gerard helped me stand up. I swung around to grab my lab sheet from the table and froze.
A dead pig was lying there with a tiny slit in its belly and feet all in the air. Although it was still and it's insides were still inside of it I started to feel panicky and Gerard grabbed my arm. "Frankie, baby, it's okay, breathe, okay? Everything's gonna be fine."
I calmed down a bit and Gerard handed me my lab sheet. My hand shook as I took it from him and tried to read what tools cut where into the pig and what organs to remove.
And then I bolted.
I turned and sprinted out from the classroom; tears running down my face. I couldn't cut open a pig. I couldn't do it. The pig didn't deserve any pain.
I sprinted into an empty classroom and curled up in the corner as I cried quietly. I missed my mom. I wanted to go home and be with her.
"Frankie?" I jumped and looked up into Gerard's eyes. "Come on baby, you have to do it," he said gently. I shook my head and whimpered. "I c-can't." Gerard sighed and pulled me into his arms. "It's okay, Frankie. I know it's scary but I'll be with you. I promise."
I bit my lip and nodded. "O-okay." Gerard beamed and grabbed my hand. "Alright sweetheart let's get going."
I held his hand tightly as Gerard led me back to the science lab. Ms Costello smiled at me kindly as I nervously walked forward. "Take your time with the assignment, Frank. I promise it's not that bad." Her ponytail had come undone in the five minutes I was gone and I really hoped the slime on her shirt was not any part of a pig.

"Oh Frankie..."
Five minutes later I was puking my guts out into the toilet and Gerard was massaging my shoulder with a strong hand and petting my hair with the other. "Oh baby..." He frowned and kissed the back of my neck. "You're burning up! Let me grab you a cold towel." He let go of my hair and wandered around my bathroom before finding a small towel under the sink and soaking it.
"Here, this should help," Gerard murmered and put the towel on the back of my neck. I gasped at the instant cool relief and Gerard slowly lifted my head up and kissed my cheek. "You look horrible, sweetheart."
I moaned quietly. "Thanks, Gee." Gerard smiled a bit and pulled me tightly into his arms. "No problem, Frankie."
A phone dinged from the other room and Gerard scooted away and went to go grab it. I frowned from loss of contact and followed him slowly. "B-baby-" I whimpered.
"Oh my god Frank calm the fuck down I just went over to check my phone." I jumped back and felt tears pricking at the corner of my eyes. Oh...
