The only hope for me is you(On hold)

Today was the day...

Gerard was not ready...

"Hey, Gee?" Mikey questioned from behind Gerard's closed-door "Yea?" His voice came out quiet "You almost ready?" Gerard sighed "I don't know..."

The door opened and his brothers face popped into view, He looked up to his brother with teary eyes "Theres g-g-g-onna be so ma-many people there..." He choked out, his brother sighed and walked fully into his room "A-A-A-And.... He-He-he's go-go-gonna be th-th-there..." Gerard started shaking "Hey, Gee. It's okay... He won't touch you, no one there will allow that." Mikey explained "Bu-Bu-Bu--" "Gerard... Shhh He. Won't. Touch. You." with a heavy sigh Gerard stood up "O-Okay,...."

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

"All rise"

Everyone stood as the judge walked in.

Then we all sat when we were told to sit.

"I'd first like to call Brother Mikey Way to the stands" He spoke.

"When did you first suspect Mr.Bryer was abusive towards Mr.Way?" The Barrister questioned "Right from the beginning"

Bob rolled his eyes and grumbled under his breath

"And when was that exactly?"

Mikey sighed, hating to think about the first time he saw a bruise on his brother's face

"Just after the one-month mark"

"Thats BULL SHIT!" Bob shouted "Sit down" The judge banged his gavel. Bob rolled his eyes and plopped back down angerly.

"And what did you do about that situation?" The Barrister questioned "I tried multiple times to get him out of the situation, I would keep him at my house on really bad nights" Mikey told truthfully.

Mikey left the stands... Next was Gerard...

"I'd like to call, Gerard Way, to the stands now" The judge spoke. Gerard's mouth went dry

Silently he stood up and walked up to the stands, He couldn't help but shake uncontrollably.

"Mr.Way" The Barrister started, Gerard didn't look up, But did reply "Ye-Yes?" he cringed at himself for stuttering... Knowing Bob hated it "Can you tell me what triggered the first event?" Gerard sighed "I was out late with a friend... He... He di-didn't like that too much..." She frowned at his response "You know, Nothing you did ever deserved you to get hit over" Gerard's face scrunched up.

"Could we take a recess, your honor?"

"I'll allow it" another bang of the gavel and Gerard was up and running out to the hall. Frank right on his heals.

"I ca-ca-can't do th-th-this Frankie...." Gerard sobbed "Shhh, Yes you can Gee. You did good." Gerard shook his head "Wh-wh-what if he gets away with i-it..." Frank shook his head "There is no way he will" Frank reassured, "Ho-Ho-How do you kn-kn-know..." The panic was getting worse in Gerard's chest "Gerard, If he makes one move, the cops will stop him, the judge will stop him. Fuck, Mikey and I will stop him. He won't touch you." Frank promised. Shakily Gerard looked back up at his best friend "Sw-Sw-Swear o-o-on ou-our fr-fri-friendship?" Gerard stuttered Frank, locked eyes with him.

"Gerard. Way. I. Swear. He. Wont. Touch. You." Sniffling Gerard nodded.

_Small skip, Because court confuses me_

"Mr. Bryer. How do you plead?" The Judge questioned.

It had been a long session. And with a look of defeat. Bob spoke...

"Guilty, your honor...." The gavel was slammed and he flinched. "I sentence you to 10 years in prison" the gavel was slammed again and he was arrested.

---------------------

Walking out of the courthouse they saw Bob being pushed into the back of a cop car

"ONCE I GET OUT I'LL GET YOU BACK!" Bob screamed, making Gerard stop dead in his tracks

"I'LL FIND A WAY OUT, GERARD, YOU PATHETIC PIECE OF SHIT!"

Tears rose in Gerard's eyes and Frank gently wrapped his arm around Gerard and lead him away from the building... and Bob. As they were walking away he heard Bob shout out again

"No one WOULD CARE IF YOU KILLED YOURSELF!"

That struck him hard...

Franks grip tightened on Gerard's arm "Shut up" The cop growled, "I wa-wanna go ho-home..." he choked out "Okay, Gee. Okay" Frank hushed him.

"Gerard? Whats wrong?" Mikey asked as soon as they got to the car. He just shook his head "Just, drive Mikey" Frank whispered.

Once they got back to their house Gerard made his way to his room. Moments later Frank walked in with Mikey "He's gone now Gee" Mikey whispered "What if he breaks out...." they both sighed "We won't ever let him near you again, Gerard" Mikey said "I'll personally kick his ass" He threatened.

Gerard sighed "okay..."

"I mean it, Gerard."

"Yes. I know."

Mikey sighed again "I'm going out with Pete in a few... Stay here? Make sure he... Doesn't do anything" Mikey mumbled to Frank, causing Gerard's eyebrows to furrow, How did Mikey know...?

"Yeah. I'll stay, I was planning on it anyway." Frank chuckled slightly

"Okay, thank you" with that Mikey walked away.

"Gerard" Frank whispered, Gerard grunted in reply "Don't listen to him." He said sternly, almost in a demanding tone, Causing Gerard to whine slightly "He-He-HEs ri-ri-right th-tho" He cringed when he stuttered "No, He's not." Frank said, Pulling Gerard up towards him.

Out of nowhere, Gerard let out a gross sob and Frank hugged him closer "I deserved it, All I did was make him mad, I shouldn't have made him mad" Gerard choked out

"Listen to me. You never deserved to get hit. No one ever deserves that. Okay? Especially you. DO you understand?" Frank questioned

"Ye-Yes, sir" Gerard stuttered

That word made Frank sick, And he cringed "Please don't call me that." Franks' voice shook

"Oh... Okay" Gerard said, slightly confused "Fr-Fr-Frank?" Gerard whispered, not wanting to bother him "Yes, Gee"

Gerard took a breath. Anxiety hitting him full force "Th-Th-Thank you, I lo-lo-lo-" He cut himself off "You what, Gee?"

He sighed

"I lo-love you..." He mumbled "I love you too, Gerard" Frank spoke, Gerard smiled slightly, curling into his best friend... And how he wishes they were more.

"More then you will ever know" Frank whispered, but Gerard had already fallen asleep.

_________

Frank sighed, looking down at the small boy in his arms, well... He looked small. In reality, Gerard was taller than him. But right now, with Gerard looking so vulnerable. He looked small.

Laying down with Gerard, Frank started rubbing his friends back and played with his hair.

And they fell asleep like that
