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

Gerard's POV-

''So, that's why Frank freaked out during the lesson...'' The nurse concludes explaining to me.

Frank and I were in the nurses office, well Frank was in a different room with a social worker of some sort I assume trying to calm him down.

So, the nurse just explained to me that Frank has not panic attacks, but kind of similar due to his brain tumor.

It can happen at any time with or without a cause.

One of the biggest triggers are stress or anger.

I awkwardly nod at the nurse, just wanting to see if Frank was ok yet.

I sit on the chair, and listen to my ear phones as I'm waiting for him.

At about lunch time the social worker brings him out to me.

''hey, sorry about that...'' Frank says, he looks a little embarrassed, that I witnessed that, but I kind of feel bad for him because I totally understand that with my stutter.

I give him a reassuring smile like I didn't mind, and he smiled back, looking slightly more relaxed.

I'm glad he can read my expressions.

''Okay, lets go out to lunch, do you eat anything?'' He asks.

I shake my head, I don't eat at school, only at home, its too awkward to eat in front of people.

''Oh, why's that?'' He asks me.

I sigh, I need to answer this question.

''S-s-school, too a-a-wkw-----'' Thats as much as I can do without dying of embarrassment.

''Eating at school is too awkward? Yea, I can understand that.'' He says.

I know that he is agreeing with me only because of his eating disorder, using my excuse as an excuse for himself, but someday soon when I build confidence to talk more to him I'll find out why he's doing that to himself.

I want to find out as much as I can about this boy... the only thing is It's kind of hard to do that when you can't even talk...
