Bipolar Sunshine

Gerard's POV

"Gee, we're here." My mum said quietly and shook my leg gently.
I sighed loudly and rubbed my eyes and looked at the shithole I was being forced to go to.
"Its a fucking shit hole." I said and looked at mum.
"It might be a shit hole but at the moment its the best place for you to be." Mum said.
"6 hours away from home? Yeah some how I get the feeling you don't actually want me so you and dad thought it would be better just to send me far away where you don't have to see me." I said venom lacing my voice.
"Its the closest place which is best for your problem." She said.
"Christ you make it sound like I'm a hormonal teenager who can't control himself and fucks everything which walks past me." I said sarcastically.
" For fuck sake Gerard can't we at least get along for 5 minutes?" Mum asked and looked at me.
"No. See you around." I said and got out the car and grabbed my duffle bag and walked to the main entrance.

I got to the desk and the woman behind it looked at me.
"How can I help you sweetie?" She asked with a smile.
"I have the joys of being admitted here." I sighed and the woman chuckled.
"Well before you go behind them doors you need to fill this form out." She said and gave me a clipboard with some paper on it.
I scanned it quickly and looked at her.
"Only fill the first page in. Are your parents with you?" She said.
"They weren't welcomed." I said.
She smiled a sympathetic smile.
"In that case then you fill the first and second page and then I'll get someone to show you around." She said.
I smiled and walked over and sat on the floor as I find sitting in chairs uncomfortable.

I looked at the bit of paper in front of me.
Name: Gerard Way.
D.O.B: 9/4/1992
Diagnosis: Schizoaffective.
The questions went on and on.
I would be surprised if anyone has heard of what was wrong with me.
Once I was finished with the questions I went back over to the desk.
"Done." I said and handed her the clipboard.
" Take a seat and someone will get you in a minute." She said and I turned round and sat back on the floor next to my bag and looked through it and pulled out a comic and started to read it.

I was lost in my little world that I didn't hear anyone say anything.
It wasn't until I saw someone sit opposite me that I realised someone was there.
"Gerard?" They asked and I nodded and put my book back in my bag.
"Good comic?" He asked and I nodded.
He smiled and stood up and I did the same.
"Follow me then Gerard." He said and walked off with me following him like a lost sheep.

He showed me round the place and then we got to where the rooms was.
"You'll be sharing a room with Frank." He said.
I just nodded.
We got to this door and the nurse knocked on the door.
"What!" A pissed of voice said and the nurse opened the door and walked in.
"Frank this is Gerard. He's going to be sharing a room with you." The nurse said.
"He's not going to hurt me?" The boy asked and looked down and messed with his bed covers.
"No one here is going to hurt you Frank." The nurse said.
The boy looked at me to speak.
"I...I..I w..w..won't hurt you." I stuttered and then said quickly.
The boy smiled.
"I'll leave you two to get to know each other. And Frank, I need you to make sure that Gerard is settled in and bring him with you when its meal times." The nurse said.
"Sir yes sir." The boy said.
With that the nurse left leaving me with the boy.
I stood gingerly in the middle of the room looking round and feeling awkward.

"I'm Frank." The boy said and got off his bed and walked over to me.
"G..G..Gerard." I stuttered.
He smiled.
"That's your bed. You might have to check under it. There might be things under there." He said and then whispered the last part.
I looked at him confused.
"Its always better to be safe than sorry. Never know who's trying to kill you." He said.
"What!?" I said in horror.
"Yeah, I heard..." He started but was stopped by a nurse.
"Frank. Don't scare the new kid." Another nurse said.
"But he has to be warned." Frank said.
"Frank. No one is going to do anything to you." The nurse said.
"How do you know?" Frank challenged.
"Want me to show you how secure this place is?" The nurse asked.
Frank nodded.
"Come on then. It'll give you a chance to get settled and make your bed." The nurse said and I nodded.
Frank walked out with the nurse.
I went over to my bed and made it and sat on it and got my comic and got lost in reading it.
