When you go

Chapter 7
“Gee, please come out.” Mikey begs through the locked door. I lie in bed, tears running down the side of my face as i lie horizontally. I had stayed in this all night, not getting a wink of sleep. I’m jealous of people in coma’s.
“Please Gee. What happened at Franks? Please, just open the door.” Mikey says desspesterty. I move for the first time since last night, my muscles aching. I look at the clock, seeing that it’s 7. School starts in ten minutes. I get up slowly, my head pounding to hard for me to go any faster.
I unlock the door, opening it. Mikey sits on the ground, with his knees pulled to his chest. I sit across from him, crossing my legs and staring at the ground.
“He….he kissed me.” I whisper slowly, as if testing my words. “And then he told me to leave.”
“Oh….wow.” Mikey says with wide eyes. He leans toward me, pulling me into an awkward, but somehow comforting hug. Mikey had always understood me, understood my pain, even if i didn’t say much.
“We have to go to school.” I croak out, my voice hoarse from crying.
Mikey nods getting up and leaving to let me get ready. I simply pull on sweats and a hoodie, not bothering with anything else.
I pull on my black vans and grab the car keys, walking out of the house with Mikey. I start the car up, pulling out of our driveway. We sit in silence, the only sounds being our breathing.
My mind wanders back to last night, back to all that happened. After Frank had kicked me out, i walked home, a stumbling mess. I was crying hysterically by the time i got home, Mikey and Ray invested in a make out session. They looked up when i came in though, concerned to what was wrong. I only asked them where Bert was, realising he took my pills, the only thing that would make me feel any better. After that it was mostly just a big blur, because i think i was hyperventilating. Maybe i had a panic attack.
“We're here Gerard.” Mikey says, making me come out of my trace. I look up, surprised to find that the school was in front of us. Holy Fuck.
“Oh…..” I whisper, my throat stinging. I open the door, trying not to fall over as i stand. Mikey comes around to my side, looking me softly in the eyes as he motions for me to walk. I do as he tells me, falling into step beside him. We walk through the halls, searching for our lockers. I stare at the ground, listening to our footsteps as we walk down the halls.
Suddenly, i hear Mikey take in a sharp, rigid breathe. I look over at him, following his gaze before it lands on our school's jocks.
Luke and his gang.
Hovering over Frank.
They seem to be whispering things to him, things i can’t hear. Without warning Luke punches Frank in the stomach, hard enough to make him puke. He topples over in pain.Before i know what i’m doing I stalk over to Luke, shoving him hard into a locker.
“What the fuck was that?” I shout, my voice echoing in the halls. Luke shoves me back, just as hard. I almost lose my balance, but thankfully i don’t.
“Watch it fag!” He shouts, making Frank cringe. Without warning, my anger erupts and I’m punching something every hard. I have a vague idea it was Luke’s Jaw, but really it could have been anything. All hell breaks loose, and everyone’s throwing punches. Luke’s gang has 5 members and there’s only 3 of us, but that hadn't really occurred to me. I’m blinded by the body's swarming all around me, so I’m just swinging my fist, grinning when i hit something, anything that's human.
“Stop!” I hear someone yell frantically. I don’t stop though, i continue to throw punches, until someone is literally prying me off another body. Two male teachers are restraining me from moving.
I give up then, deciding i’d probably caused enough damage.
I look up, noting how many students were in the hallways. I look up, seeing Mikey is still standing. He has a bloody nose and a dark bruise on his temple. I don’t calm down until i see Frank, sitting on top of a guy he seemed to have just been punching. He has a bruise on his Jaw and a black eye.Two teachers pull him off, getting the other kid, Max, off the ground.
“Were going to the office boys!” Mrs. Young, my math teacher, shouts. The teachers let me go, letting me walk to the office. I keep my eyes averted towards the ground, feeling lots of eyes on me.
I look up for just a second, seeing Bert, Ray, and a tall guy whose name is Bob, I think. Soon enough, were pushed into the office. The jocks are pulled into a different room, probably so we don’t fuck with each other.
“Gerard, are you okay?” Mikey asks with concern wide eyes.
“Yeah, I’m good. What about you? Your face looks kinda fucked up.” I say, studying his face. He starts barking in laughter, making me furrowing my eyebrows. For some reason it stung a little.
“Gee, i;m sure your face is way worse.” He says, matter of factly. I raise my eyebrows, lifting my hands to my face. I touch my eyebrow first, finding a huge gash slicing over it. My lips pull into a frown, upset by the fact that it might gonna leave a scar. I move my hands down my face, finding it extremely tender by my right eye, where their was surly a bruise. Next i go to my lip, finding another gash, smaller than the first.
I sigh, putting my hands folded in my lap. I feel Frank’s gaze on me, making us all fall under an uncomfortable silence.
“Jesus Gerard, Why did you do that?” He snaps, surprising both me and Mikey. He looks at me, not exactly angrily, but close enough.
“Because that's what you do for friends. Even when they hate you.” I tell him, looking him in the eyes. His gaze softens at that, making me question what i just said.
“Fuck, Gee, I don’t hate you. Quite the opposite, actually.” He says shaking his head.
“You-you don’t?” I stutter, surprised by his declaration.
“No Gee. I love you...like, in more than a friends way. In more than a best friends way.” He says, shrugging nervously.
I open my mouth to respond, but nothing comes out. We sit like that for a few minutes, my mouth hanging open, Frank staring deeply into my eyes, and Mikey looking in between us.
“Come on boys. Time to see the principal.”
