When you go

Chapter 2
I lie awake that night, scared that something horribly wrong, even worse the normal, happened to Frank. He calls me every night after…..everything happens with his dad…..
I let the tears that have been building up in my eyes spill over my cold cheeks. I quietly whimper, hoping Mikey’s asleep so he can’t hear.
I am completely and madly in love with Frank. But i can’t tell him yet. It’ll make all of this harder, make him want to leave more. We just have to wait a month. Then we can be together.
I cry harder, knowing that with all that is dad is doing, that day might not come. I feel my stomach clench at that, feeling my heart rate pick up.
“Gee?” I hear a small whisper that makes me pause for a moment. I look up to the door way, the moonlight just enough for me to see the outline of his body
“Gee? Are you okay?” Mikey whispers a little louder.
“Y-yeah. Sorry i woke you.” i choke out, my voice hoarse from crying. He walks over to my bed, climbing under the covers as i make room for him.We face towards each other, his eyes studing my face. He pulls me towards his chest, understanding why i’m crying. Mikey always understands.
“I know it hurts Gee. He’ll be safe soon.”

“I swear Mikey, I’m leaving in 5 minutes with or without you!” i shout, feeling agitated. I hear a door slam, along with stomping.
“I’m coming! God, Gee, you need to chill.” He says rolling his eyes. I sigh, pulling out a cigarette and a lighter from my pocket. I open the door, not wanting the house to smell like cigarettes. I quickly light it, inhaling deeply, enjoying the burn at the back of my throat. Mikey grabs his bag, slipping on his black vans and walking past me. I follow after him, slinging my bag inside the car and turning it on, making sure not to burn anything with my cigarette.
“We picking up Frank?” He says, his voice monotone. I take a drag off my cigarette, nodding.
“Yep. What about your boytoy? Are we gonna pick him up too?”I ask smirking. He rolls his eyes, annoyed by my choice of words.
“I told you to stop calling Ray that! And yes, if you don’t mind, we are picking him up.” He says agitated. I laugh, nodding at him. We drive in silence after that, enjoying the sound of nothingness. I pull up to Frank's house just in time for him to come walking out of the house.
He opens the door, sliding in with a small smile.“Hey Geegee! Hey Mikes!” He says happily. I smile at him as he buckles up.
“Hey Frank.” Mikes says smiling at Frank, looking behind his seat. Frank beams at Mikey, his demeanor seeming happy as it does every morning.
“Hey Frankie. You didn’t call last night.” I say, my smile turning into a small frown. He looks at me guiltily.
“Sorry Gee. I fell asleep.” he says, looking me in the eyes.
“It’s cool frankie, i was just worried.” i say, my smile returning. Mikey turns back around as i start to drive again. Mikey and frank mindlessly chat for a bit as i continue to drive, cousinly tuning in on the conversation. My mind wanders off, thinking of our parents mostly. How Frank is abused and how me and Mikey don’t have parents to begin with. They left us about two years ago, right when i turned sixteen and Mikey was fourteen going on fifthteen. The last thing they said was we were old enough to take care of ourselves and that they didn’t want us anymore. I can’t say i was devastated, like most kids would be, but it did cause me some pain. It affected Mikey the most, making him think no one would ever love him. Except for me. I convinced Mikey we’d be fine, and we were. I got a job, got food stamps in my mothers name, (Yes i know thats fraud) and we kept our grades up. We managed.
I will never understand how parents could do that to their kids, but i'll sure as hell never do it.
I snap out of my daze, just as we get to Rays. He has a blue and white house, two stories high. It’s an extremely nice house, the king you’d hold parties at.
Ray comes jogging out, his crazy fro bouncing all the way. He jumps in the back seat, making me want to laugh because of the way his fro moves.
“Hey babe!” Mikey squeals, leaning in the backseat to kiss Ray, making me gag.
“Ew! Mikey stop, I’m gonna puke!” i shout, making Frank laugh. Mikey ignores me, continuing to kiss Ray loudly. He doesn’t stop until i hit him, giving him a dead leg.
“Gee! Just let me kiss my boyfriend! I don’t do this when you and Frank get all mushy.” Mikey pouts. I freeze, silently glaring at Mikey.
“That’s because me and Frank aren’t dating!” i growl, making him roll his eyes. I sigh in frustration, and start the car up again. Luckily the school in only a block away so were not in the car long. Everyone sits in silence, watching the road.
I finally pull up to the school, making everyone snap out of their trace.
“Ugh, i don’t wanna go in,” Mikey whines. Ray huffs, as i roll my eyes.
“Yeah, none of us do.” I say, leaning against the car. Frank nods, walking towards me. He takes his place next to me as Ray and Mikey join hands.
“Man, fuck school. This is like a death trap for Gays and bisexuals.” Frank says, annoyance in his voice.
“Yep. Now c’mon guys were gonna be late.” Rays says, making us all walk towards the school. We fall in a comfortable silence, each of us listening to our minds instead of each other.
“Well, class in starting. See you guys after 7 hours in hell.”
