Bulletproof Heart

Gerard’s POV

”Hey Gee, do you mind if you go to classes on your own this morning?” Frank said as we walked to school which made me look at him.
”I don’t mind but why aren’t you keeping me company?” I asked as we got to the school gates and Frank stopped which made me stop and look at him.
”Have some business to deal with. I’ll see you at lunch okay.” Frank said and he went to walk off but I caught hold of his hand which made Frank stop and turn round.
”You’re not going to do nothing stupid are you?” I asked and Frank smiled.
”Of course not. I wouldn’t dream of doing nothing stupid.” Frank said but smiled at me.
”I’m being serious here Frank. I cant lose my only friend in this shithole.” I said and Frank looked at me and the penny finally dropped.
”Your going after the cunts and beat me up? Frank I told you not to worry about them.” I said.
”I mean it when I say nobody is going to hurt you Gee.” Frank said.
”And I fucking mean it when I say you do not have to beat the bastards up.” I said seriously.
“Lighten up babe, it’s not as you get involved.” Frank said.
”I’m not your fucking babe Frank. I am involved in this Frank.” I said and frank rolled his eyes.
”Okay so when your fucking done beating people up I’ll be on the field. That’s if you haven’t been fucking kicked out.” I said and walked off.

I was walking to go and get something to eat when a girl ran over.
”Are you Franks Gee?” The girl asked.
”I belong to nobody.” I said and went to walk off but she caught hold of my arm.
”I’m Esme, Franks sister.” The girl said and I looked at her and couldn’t help but think how pretty she was.
”What do you want?” I asked.
”Frank is beating this guy up and nobody can get through that thick head of his. Since you two are good friends I thought that maybe he would listen to you.” Esme said.
”I want nothing to do with that, I told him not to bother and he ignored me so no he got himself into this shit and he can get himself out of it.” I said and walked off.
”Please, I don’t want my brother to get into trouble. He doesn’t listen to us and he only just listen to you.” Esme said and I stopped and looked at her.
”Please. Frank doesn’t act like this for nobody. Only for his family and really close friends which he hardly has. Please Gee, I don’t beg but I’m begging you now.” Esme said and I sighed.
”Show me where he is and I’ll see what I can do.” I said and Esme smiled and grabbed hold of my hand and dragged me to where Frank was.

We got to wjere the fight was and there was a huge crowd around them.
”Where the fuck are the teachers?” I asked Esme.
”I don’t know.” Esme said as we barged our way through the crowd and we stood next to a boy.
”What’s going on Fred?” Esme asked.
”Well Frankie here is beating the living shit out of the gorger.” The boy said and he looked at me.
”Who the fuck is that?” He asked as he looked down his nose at me.
”Franks love interest. Anyway we’re to talking about him, what the fuck are we going to do about Frank.” Esme hissed at the boy.
”I don’t fucking know, I just say beat him senseless.” The boy said and both me and Esme just looked at him in a displeased way.
”Christ it’s like being round children.” I said and I walked towards Frank.
”You don’t fucking touch him again. You fucking touch him again and you’re dead.” Frank said loudly as he punched the boy round the face.
I just froze as a flashback from the past came back.
”Frank stop.” I said quietly but Frank didn’t hear me and carried on punching the boy.
”Frank stop it! Just stop!” I said loudly and Frank punched the boy once more and he looked at me.
”Gee, I can explain.” Frank said gingerly.
”Don’t bother.” I said quietly and turned round and walked off to somewhere quieter.

I was sat in the toilets having a meltdown because seeing Frank hitting someone like that just reminded me of everything I was put through.
The door opened and shut and I heard 2 lots of footsteps.
”The fuck is wrong with you Frank? I have never seen you loose your shit like that before, especially over someone like that kid that made you stop punching the shit out of the other boy.” The boy said.
”I don’t know Fred, I feel like I need to protect him or something. He’s not just some kid, he’s been through hell.” Frank said.
”You like him don’t you?” The boy asked.
”I like him okay, but after all the shit he’s been through he doesn’t want a relationship. I mean I can’t sort of blame him after seeing me lose my shit like I did.” Frank said.
”What sort of shit?” The boy asked and I waited for Frank to tell him everything I have told him so far.
”I’m not telling you Fred. It’s between me and Gerard.” Frank said and I smiled to myself.
”You still need to find him.” The boy said.
”I know where he is, why don’t you go back to class and I’ll find Gee.” Frank said.
”You know mam won’t be happy with you.” The boy said.
”Right now I don’t care about mam, I just need to find Gee.” Frank said and I don’t know what the boy did but I heard the door open and shut.

”Gee, i know your in here.” I heard Frank say and I sighed and looked down.
“Are you alone?” I asked and sniffed.
”Yeah I’m alone Gee, you going to come out?” Frank said and I looked at the door and sighed.
”You’re not going to hurt me are you?” I asked.
”I would never dream on hurting you Gee.” Frank said and I stood up and unlocked the door and peered round it and I saw Frank looking at me.
”Then why did you beat that boy nearly fucking senseless Frank?” I asked moved from behind the door.
”Because he hurt you Gee. He hurt you and I just got really angry at him and I just lost my cool. I never meant for it to be as bad as it was.” Frank said.
”Yes he hurt me frank but that is nothing on what Eric did to me. So are you going to hunt him down as well and kill him for what he did to me?” I said and felt a new set of tears fall.
”I would do anything to keep you safe Gee.” Frank said and I shook my head.
”Really? Then just stay away from me. Because the longer I’m your friend the more likely I am to get hurt and I can’t cope right now with being hurt.” I said and I went to walk off but Frank caught hold of my hand which made me look at him.
”I wouldn’t hurt you Gee. I promise you I’ll never hurt you.” Frank said and I shook my head.
”I can’t be friends with a pikey.” I said quietly and Frank let go of my hand.
”Gee please. Don’t leave, I need you more than what you think I do. You are my only friend and I can’t cope without someone like you in my life.” Frank said and I shook my head.
”I’m sorry I led you on, but I can’t be your friend.” I whispered and walked out the room.
I stood by the door and I heard something smash which made me jump and I heard Frank cry.
I stood there wondering what to do.
“So stupid!” I heard frank shout and something else smashed so I listened to my heart and went back into the toilets.

I looked round and saw the mirrors was smashed and Frank was sat on the floor with his hands bleeding.
”What did you do Frankie?” I asked as I knelt beside him.
”Gee?” Frank sniffed as he looked at me.
”Yeah I’m here Frankie.” I said softly.
”I’m sorry, I’m sorry Gee.” Frank sobbed and I pulled him into my chest and held him close to me.
”It’s okay Frank. It’s okay.” I whispered and kissed the top of his head and I looked round the toilet and there was broken glass on the floor.
”Let me look at your hands Frank.” I said softly and Frank moved back and showed me his hands and I gently got hold of them and looked at them.
”Shit Frank, these are pretty cut up.” I said and looked at him.
”I’m sorry.” Frank whispered.
”Hey, it’s okay. I can fix them up until we can go home and I can do a better job.” I said and Frank looked at me confused.
”The joys of self harming before your parents found out, had to do everything yourself.” I said and Frank smiled that me.
”We also need to get the cleaning people in here to clean this up.” I said a d Frank sighed and looked down and I made him look at me.
”They won’t know it was you.” I said quietly and Frank nodded.
”Let’s go back to mine. My mum is working until late so we have the house to ourselves until 10 tonight.” I said and Frank smiled and moved away from me and I stood up and helped him up trying to be careful of his hands.
”Come on.” I said softly and put my hand on his lower back and we walked back to mine.

”Okay this is going to sting a little.” I said as I sat on my bed and caught hold of Franks hand and started to clean it as gently as I could.
”Ouch.” Frank mumbled and I looked at him.
”I’m sorry, that’s this hand cleaned. Want me to put a bandage on it or not?” I asked.
”It’ll be fine. Thanks Gee.” Frank said quietly and I smiled at him and made him look at me.
”You don’t hate me do you?” Frank asked quietly.
”I couldn’t hate you Frankie.” I said and Frank smile and he moved and kissed me which took me by surprise but it returned the kiss.
Frank pulled back and looked down and I did the same but with a blush on my cheeks.
”Why don’t you lie down and have a nap?” I asked quietly and Frank nodded.
”Lie down with me?” Frank whispered and I nodded.
”Lie down then and I’ll cuddle you.” I said and Frank lead down and I did the same as we both got comfy and I pulled Frank into my chest and I kissed the side of his head.
”Have I fucked us up?” Frank asked and I smiled sadly.
”No Frankie, you havent fucked us up.“ I said quietly and Frank got himself comfy and we both fell asleep.

Notes

Not really sure on this chapter but it’s probably have bad grammar and spelling as I haven’t got time to proof read before I go to work.
