Two Lonely Outcasts

~~~skipped car ride but now Frank, Gerard, and Rosie are at Gerard's house~~~

Gerard's POV-

Rosie was asleep in her bed... poor thing, she hasn't slept well and she was so tired...
I closed her bedroom door, softly, then walked downstairs into the living room, where Frank sat on the couch.

'Hey, Gee... when do we have to go back to school?' He asked me.
'I don't know... next week I guess? I means It's Thursday today, no point in going tomorrow so next Monday..' I replied.
'Do you know anything about the police contacting you back about the whole Peter thing...?' he asked me.
'They are supposed to call me tomorrow.' I said.

He nodded.

'Okay, I'm gonna order pizza, what one you want?' Frank asked, looking at me with his brown eyes.

Shit! what do I tell him... 'Um I don't want any, I'm still feeling a bit sick...' I replied.
Frank sighed, 'Okay, I'll get you the same as mine.' Did he not just hear a word I said?

He called the pizza number and ordered 2 plain cheese pizza's, garlic bread, and 2 cans of monster.

When he was done he walked over to me and lightly touched my arm. He pulled up my sleeve. 'Gee... please tell me why...' He said, his beautiful eyes looking at me, sadly.

I decided I would tell him the full reason, I trusted him.

'Okay, I'll tell you.It's a long story...' I started.
Frank cut me off, 'We have all the time in the world...'

At that I smiled a bit. He smiled back.

'Well. When I was 14 my dad died.... from cancer.....Um Rosie was only 2 years old. Our mom was never the same after that, she would bring home boys every weekend, totally drunk and sleep with them. After 2 years living like this, she decided to just leave Rosie and I one say. I was 16 and Rosie was 4... I've been looking after Rosie ever since, and my mom and I haven't spoken since then...' I started to cry.

Frank moved a piece of hair out of my face. He patted my back with one of his arms. 'It's okay, I want to hear the rest of the story.' He told me. I nodded and wiped my eyes with the back of my hand.

'Uhm, I've been at Westlake High ever since I started high school... I was bullied from the very first day. I've been called it all. Fat, emo, gay, fag, wanker and many others... I also get beat up every now and then. I believe what they tell me because, I am worthless, I deserve to die because no one cares about me, then only reason I live is for Rosie. I can't put her through that. So I cut so I can deal with everyday... but it's only temporary...' I added.

Frank touched my shoulder. 'Listen to me, you are not worthless Gerard Way, you are not fat, you are not a wanker, you are not an emo, and you are not a fag, and if you are gay, so what? and I know you don't wanna hear this Gee, but 'temporary' does not work out with self harm... you need to try your hardest to stop.. for me? for your sister's sake?' He said.

I felt tears welling up in my eyes. He saw this and hugged me. I hugged back. He kissed me cheek. Someone knocked on the door... I guess it was the pizza guy... Frank got up to open it, while I figured out how I'm going to get my way out of eating this...
