You're Not As Broken As You Think *SLOW UPDATES*

Gerard's POV-

~recess~

Math finally finishes, which I though was impossible.
I was really nervous to meet Frank.
That whole lesson I didn't really figure out what to say to him because I couldn't focus on it.
I waited till everyone left the class, before I started to make my way slowly to my locker.
I clung to my books, with my head down and arrived at the lockers.

I just had time to put all my shit in, when I saw Mikey walking towards me with what I assume is Frank.

Frank has 2 piercings, a lip and nose.
He has black hair that covers half his face, and a ring of eyeliner.
He is wearing a Misfits t shirt!!
He is walking kinda weirdly, as if he was drunk but I don't think he is...
His footsteps are jagged.
Then it finally processes through my brain that he and Mikes are walking towards me!
Meaning I'll have to talk!
Frank will laugh at me when he hears my stuttering!
Shit!
What do I do?!!
Run!

I quickly turn away just as they get to me, and I run straight to the only place I know is safe.
The bathroom.
I lock myself in a cubicle so they can't get in if they follow me...
I keep my breathing in check by slow deep breaths, not letting myself freak out.
Just as I calmed down, someone enters the bathroom, and Mikey calls my name.
I don't think Frank is there, so I hesitantly open the door.
Good, it's only Mikey.
I still better be careful though.
"Gee, why did you run?"
I shrug, biting my lip.
"It's okay, I know you're nervous about Frank, and it's okay, but I know that you two are going to get along great. I have to go in about 10 minutes so let's just get this over with, okay?"
I sigh, and nod.
I need to at least try.
I grabbed Mikey's arm, and he practically dragged to me, to where Frank was waiting for us.
"Frank, this is my brother Gerard, and Gerard, this is my friend Frank." Mikey says.
"Hey Gerard, how are ya?" Frank says, calmly.

He asked me a question.

'How are you?'
How am I?
Good?
Okay?
Bad?
Fine?
So many option.
Hurry up, reply!! He's staring at you, you're an idiot!

"U-uhmm..."
I squint my eyes, trying not to cry.
I'm so pathetic....

"He's great" Mikey fills in for me.
I sigh of relief and nod.
Frank smiles and nods, "that's good."

The bell suddenly goes meaning I have to go to English.

"Well guys, I have to go. I'll see you at home, Gee. Have a good day."
Mikey hugs me, and I hug back, then watch him leave.

I awkwardly stand in front of Frank, not knowing what to do.

Will he abandon me now?

"Okay, just so you know, Mikes told me about your stuttering and anxiety, so it's okay. You don't need to worry about me knowing or anything."
I nod.
"I have the same classes as you except for maths and art. So we both have English and then social studies."
I nod again.
"Let's go!"
I follow alongside Frank to our English block.
Suddenly a whole mob of teenagers surround us, and I stop walking, and tense up, squeezing my eyes shut waiting for them to go.
I try slow breathing, to calm down.
I feel someone's arm wrap around me, making me jump, but still not open my eyes.
The someone guides me out of the crowd, and when I open my eyes it's Frank.

"It's okay, I'm here now and you don't have to worry about them." He smiles at me.
I give him an appreciative smile back and hold his arm as we arrive.

Maybe Frank isn't so bad and I was just over reacting?
Just give it time, he'll probably give up eventually....
Time will tell...
