Gerard P.O.V. -back in the morning-

As I walked away from Irmarie, I saw Sabrina follow me.

At first I thought she was heading to a class or something, so I didn't worried about it much.

As I turned a corner, Sabrina pulled me in into a closet by the collar. Her little crew made sure no one saw.

"Dude! What the hell!?" I said.

"Shut up, Gerard!" She snapped.

"What do you want?" I asked in annoyance.

"Why are you spending all that time with the emo?" Sabrina asked and rolled her eyes.

Again with this question.

"She. Has. A. Name." I said.

"That trash has a name?" Sabrina asked.

"Yes you naive bitch, its Irmarie. Now leave me alone." I said and began to walk out, but only to me pulled back in by Sabrina.

"Still, why are you spending so much time with her? You're suppose to be with me and Giovanni with Gabe, like the good old days." Sabrina said.

"Are you just plain stupid." I snapped. "I don't want to be your boyfriend. I never did! I only did it because you fucking pressured me to! Get that in your little head!"

Sabrina looked angry; she pursed her lips and her face was red.

"She fucked with your head, Gerard! Don't you see that! You're not the same Gerard I know." Sabrina cried.

"That's because you met me in Freshman year! You act like you known me for my whole life but you don't! You only know the fake me! Now leave me alone and don't talk to me" I said and began to leave again.

"Hold the fuck up!" She said and pulled me in again.

"What do you want!?" I said

"Why don't you leave her alone?" She said while trying to seduce me.

She did that weird thing that girls do when they tried to flirt with you: She blink so many times and gave me that weird voice.

Is this bitch really desperate?

For a while now, she's been trying to get into my pants. Really! She fucked almost every guy in the football team. She even screwed with Giovanni during Junior year. They don't think I know that but I actually found out through Mikey and Gabe.

"Oh my God! Why don't you leave me alone!" I said.

"I'll leave you alone," she said, "if you come with me and leave her."

I don't know if Sabrina knows that I am dating Irmarie. Only a few people know and that is our families and closest friends. Maybe she figured it out?

"Nope! That ain't going to happen. Goodbye, slut." I said.

Sabrina looked really pissed when I finally manage to leave her. Hey! It's her fault she lost her virginity during Freshman year with Lucas Springsteen, captain of the basketball team. And every since then she has had sex with a lot of guys.

I quickly walked into the guys' locker room and changed into my gym clothes. I ran into the gym. The bell rang and I sighed in relief.

Mikey looked at me with worried eyes. His hair was a little bit messy.

Couch Joe came in and gave our lesson.

Glad we don't have Couch Dan's class. That class is hell, literally.

I was really bothered all of gym class because I kept thinking of Sabrina. I have a feeling she was going to do something to Irmarie.

I didn't tell her about us, but Sabrina can assume for sure.

The only thing that was wrong was that in this class, Giovanni was in it too. He kept giving me death glares.

In the end of class, I was one of the last people to go to the locker room. Mikey was waiting for me to go to the locker room.

"You alright?" He asked me.

"Yeah. Just tired." I said as I whipped the sweat off my forehead.

Mikey nodded and left. I quickly changed back into my clothes.

Giovanni came up to me and closed my locker.

I smiled. "Thank you!" I said.

"Shut up, Way. I heard you and Irmarie ran away and that's why you weren't here." He said.

"Why do you care." I said as a put my bag over my shoulder.

"Why did you do that? Do you like her? Did you pretended to like her so you can get her V-card?" Giovanni smirked.

Giovanni honestly doesn't know anything about me. He thinks I already got laid when that was a lie. I honestly would never do that to Irmarie. So when he said that I put my bag down.

"No you disrespectful little shit." I snapped. "I did not ran away with her because I wanted to get laid. We went on a little trip to New York you dumb fuck! So quit assuming and just shut up!"

"Whoa! Since when has Gerard been a little bit of a softy?" He said.

"You act like you know me!" I said.

"That's because I do!" He said.

"Lies! Now, leave me alone! I am never going to be like you and you are never going to actually know me, because I've been living a lie for almost five years!" I said.

I grabbed my bag and began to walk out.

"She turned you into a monster!" Giovanni said.

I turned my heel around and walked back to him. I gave a good hard punch to him. He fell to the ground and I walked back to the hallway.

I swear, the world hates me today.

I walked to math class and ignored everyone.

When class ended, I found Mikey by his locker.

"Mikey! I need your help." I said.

"If you need my Spanish homework you can kiss that excuse goodbye!" He said as he closed his locker.

"No. I don't need that. I need you to look out for Irmarie for me." I said.

"Why. What's going to happen?" MIkey asked.

"Well, Sabrina talked to me 'bout leaving her and Giovanni talked to me-"

"Say no more. I'll look out for her. Plus, I have my next class with her." Mikey said.

"Okay. Thank you I owe you big time!" I said.

"Hey! You don't owe me anything. She's my friend." Mikey smiled.

We both quickly went to our classes before the bell rang.

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

I went to my locker once the bell rang for second lunch. I usually don't see Irmarie when the bell for first lunch rings. I wonder what class she has between those minutes.

Sabrina walked to my locker with a smirk on her face.

"Are you sure you don't want to be with me?" She asked.

"Hell no!" I said.

I know I might sound rude, but this bitch can't take no for an answer.

Even after three- almost four years, she still wants me to have sex with her. To be honest from the moment I met her I knew I wasn't going to get along with her.

I don't know why she wants to have sex with almost every guy. Maybe she really is lonely. I don't know, I just know she's be peer pressuring me about it.

"Come on, Gerard. There's only one month left of school. I know your birthday is coming up." She said while smirking.

"Yeah, thanks for reminding me." I muttered.

"So. How about we meet each other on your birthday say around four at my place. My parents aren't going to be home until nine." She said.

"Oh my God, no!" I said.

"Why not!" Sabrina asked.

"Look Sabrina, I am never going to have sex with you just for pleasure. Plus, I don't want to, okay. So please, respect my choice okay. When I say no, its a no!" I said.

"You're no fun at all, Gee." Sabrina pouted.

"I'm not even yours! And please don't call me Gee." I said.

"Fine. Are you saving yourself for someone?" She smirked.

I blushed at the comment. I'm not sure if my cheeks were red or not.

"I don't know and I don't care." I said.

"If you don't care then come with me." She smirked.

Okay, I am getting really annoyed by horny Sabrina. Should I just pretend I am gay or some shit like that?

"Sabrina, I can't do that because I am already taken." I said.

"Who is this bitch!" Sabrina yelled.

Oh God I am not going to say its Irmarie, for her sake.

"Frank." I said.

Her face fell. I swear I think the first layer of her face fell to the ground.

"We have a girl that goes here that's name is Frank." She said slowly.

"No no. I mean Frank Iero." I said, trying not to laugh.

"Y-you're g-gay?" She asked.

"Bye bye sweetie." I waved and walked away.

I did that because; one, I couldn't hold my laughter in. Two, because it was getting late.

I quickly walked to study hall.

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

I walked to the cafeteria. Today we were having spaghetti and meat balls.

Frank, Jamia, And Austin where in line.

"Hey guys." I said while cutting in front of people. Trust me, I am not being an asshole, everybody does it.

"Hey." They smiled.

"Uh, Jamia I might have to borrow your boyfriend sometime this week." I said.

"Why?" They asked.

"Uh..." I said while looking around.

Before I cod say anything, Alan and Venus came in running and went to us.

"Hey." They said breathlessly.

"Let me guess, you guys were on the third floor." Austin said.

"Yeah." Venus said, breathless.

Usually when some of us have classes on the third floor and next is lunch, they run down here.

"You were saying?" Jamia asked.

"Right uh... I kind of have to borrow Frank because Sabrina wants me..." I said.

"What do you mean 'wants you'?" Venus asked.

"I mean she literally is pressuring me to be with her and do things I don't want to do." I said.

"Why didn't you tell her you were taken?" Alan asked.

"I did. But then I knew she was going to beat Irmarie up, so I said I was dating Frank..." I sheepishly smiled.

"Okay, you said you were dating me or that you were gay?" Frank asked.

"Both." I said.

"I'll allow it. Only because you need help out of this situation and for Irmarie's sake too." Jamia said.

"Thank you! You're an angel!" I hugged Jamia.

"Your welcome." She laughed.

"Really! You're talking about me like I am not here!!!" Frank said while throwing his hands in the air.

I rolled my eyes. The line began to move and now we were serving ourselves food.

"Fine. Can you pretend to be my boyfriend for a week." I asked him.

"I'd be flattered to. Actually, you are one lucky man, Gerard. You have me!" Frank said. God is he conceded.

"Rolling my eyes." I said as I walked over to our table.

As we sat down, I looked around the lunch room for Irmarie. She usually is late. I wonder why.

"Do you guys know why she's always later for lunch?" I asked them.

They all shrugged. "We wish we know the answer to that question." Frank said.

Just as if on cue, Alan says she sees her.

Irmarie sits next to me. I smiled.

"Hey my butterfly." I said while wrapping my arms around her waist.

She smiled. "Hey baby." She said.

"How was your day so far?" I asked.

I was really hoping that it was all okay. No bullying or any thoughts that would bring her down.

"Okay I guess." She said, looking at her tray of food.

I was worried that she wasn't eating write. I don't know what she is thinking inside her head, but what ever is it, it is really bringing her on a low point.

I start to wonder if she'll eat today. I really do want her to get well.

I can tell Venus was going to say something, but I guess she lost her train of thought or something.

Miley, Alicia, Phil, and Aaron walked to our table.

"Lies." Alicia said. Guess she heard Irmarie's comment.

"Irmarie." I said.

"I'm fine, really," she insisted.

"No you're not! She had to go to the nurses office during math class." Mikey said.

I saw her arms, there were bruised and there were cuts too. I know that they weren't self made, they were little cuts that looks like finger nails did them.

Which then made me think Sabrina might of done this. Did she and her little crew beat her up?

"That's because we were passing a not about it and Mr. Parker read the note." She said.

"What happen?" I asked her. Worried about the answer.

"Nothing okay. I just fell down some stairs because I am a klutz." She said and shrugged.

I would fall for that lie if it wasn't for the cuts on her arms. And I wasn't the only one who noticed.

"You didn't say that to us." Venus said.

"That's because Mr. Parker took the note." Irmarie said.

"Irmarie. What really happen?" I asked her.

"I told you. I fell down some stairs." She said. She can be really stubborn sometimes.

So with that, we left it like that. I looked at Irmarie, to see if she was eating right. She barley even touched her spaghetti.

I really wonder what's going on in her head.

"Food fight!" A guy yelled.

I turned around and saw Justin Morris throw spaghetti. I knew he was going to throw it to Eddy Roger.

Instead, it missed Eddy and hit Sabrina...

Sabrina gasps as the spaghetti landed on her shirt. Giovanni happened to be next to her. He got mad at Justin for hitting Sabrina and he threw food at Justin but it ended up hitting someone else.

Everyone soon started to join the food fight. To avoid getting hit by any food, Irmarie and I hid under the tables.

We were glad that all food getting thrown missed up, but Frank and Jamia weren't so lucky. It landed on Jamia's shirt and Frank's hair. I know I haven't known Frank for a long time but I know if you mess with his hair, he turns into the Hulk.

"You little piece of shits." Frank said as he threw some meatballs.

"Let's get out of here!" Irmarie said.

I nod in agreement and we crawled to the nearest exit.

When we closed the door we were lucky that no food had hit us. "That was close." I said as we stood up.

As soon as we stood up, Mikey and Alicia came out crawling from the cafeteria.

"We're alive!" Mikey said as he stood up.

"Thank goodness." Alicia said as Mikey helped her up.

"I doubt the rest of the guys will make it," Irmarie said.

"I heard Mr. Dan was going to be coming any minute." Mikey said.

"Oh snap." Irmarie and I said.

I grabbed her hand and we began to run down the hallway. I was planning to go hide somewhere away from the cafeteria. Trust us, we don't want to get in trouble by Mr. Dan. He makes us do about fifty push up, run one mile, and do crutches. It's child abuse I tell you!

Before Mikey can come with us along with Alicia, I called out. "Go find your own hiding spots!"

"Fuck you!" Mikey said and started running the other way.

I laughed and we headed out of the school and head to the football field. Couch Joe was there with the JV soccer team. He saw us and nod his head as an approval.

Irmarie and I went behind the bleachers, laughing.

"Oh man, they're really fucked." I said.

"Yeah. I wish Frank good luck." Irmarie laughed.

"Irmarie. Mind asking you who did that to you?" I asked as the laughter had died out.

She bit her lip and looked down at her bruised arm. I really hope it wasn't Sabrina who did those bruises to her.

"Come on. Please tell me." I said as I gently lifted her chin up. Her cafe-colored eyes were full of sorrow.

"Don't do anything stupid, okay." She said. I wonder why...

"Okay."

"No, you have to promise me you won't do anything stupid." Irmarie said.

"I promise." I said, wondering why is she making me promise not to do anything stupid. If Irmarie makes you do that that means something bad has happen and doesn't want you getting involved of in trouble because of it.

"Okay. Sabrina and her crew beat me at the girls restroom when I was heading to Spanish." Irmarie said.

"That bitch! I knew it was her." I said and clutched my fist.

"Then why'd you ask?" Irmarie asked. I took a seat.

"Wanted to make sure." I said.

Irmarie sighed. "Don't do anything stupid." She said again.

"I'm not." I said.

If it wasn't for the fact that I had promised Irmarie, I would of done something 'stupid' as she liked to call it.

There was silence between us. All you heard was the guys shouting about them not making the goal or to pass the ball.

"I deserved it though." Se said suddenly.

I was taken back by this.

"No you don't." I said.

I sometimes wish I knew what was she saying to herself in her head. I wanted to know what she was thinking that brings her down so much. Am I really giving her a lot of problems?

"I did. I called her the devil in front of everyone. I had it coming." She said.

"No you don't. You spoke the truth. She is a she-devil." I said as I thought of all the bad things Sabrina had done. For one she's a big slut and can't keep her legs closed.

"I still deserved it." She repeated.

I pulled her into a big hug. "No, you really don't." I said quietly and kissed her forehead.

We stayed there in silence for a while. Who would of thought that silence could be this comforting.

I then thought of lunch today and how Irmarie rarely ate today.

"You didn't eat. Do you feel fine?" I asked.

"I just haven't had a big appetite, that's all." Irmarie said.

Big appetite my ass, I know she was starving herself, not because she doesn't have a big appetite. I can actually feel her stomach rumble as I held her close to me.

"You need to eat, Irmarie. You need to so you can be healthy. Please don't go starving yourself." I said.

It really did worried me a lot. A human body needs their vitamins and nutrance in order to keep on going. If Irmarie doesn't soon she'll be get too weak and I'm scared that she might die.

"Why? Isn't being skinny in." Irmarie scoffed.

"Not if it means that you have to be starving yourself. You're beautiful just the way you are." I told her.

I leaned in and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around me neck while I put my hands on her waist.

I want her to know I really do love her. I know she's going threw so much, and she doesn't know yet a lot of things that is happening to her mother. All Irmarie knows is that she's in a coma, and even that was a lie. Rosa was now brain dead. The doctors said to Robin that when they got her out of the crash that she wasn't breathing. It wasn't until maybe two days ago when they found out that she was actually brain dead and was really on life support. Right now they are waiting for Irmarie's approval, but Robin, Vinny, Rocky, and Spike haven't told her yet. I guess they said because she wasn't ready to take the news in.

I kept kissing her. I worked on her bottom lip while she worked my top one.

I pulled away after a while of kissing. I rested my head on hers.

"I love you for you." I whispered. I saw her blush and gave a small smile.

After the bell rang, Irmarie and I quickly ran back into our school.

Turns out we got called back into the lunch room since it was our lunch time.

In the lunch room, spaghetti sauce were all over the place: the windows, the brick walls, floors, tables, and even on students and on Couch Dan...

Everyone was lined up against the wall like prisoners... well, this school is like a prison to be honest.

"Way! Hale! Where were you two during this food fight?" Couch Dan voice boomed the whole cafeteria.

"Outside by the bleachers, you can even asked Couch Joe." I said.

"Okay. You guys are off the hook. You may go." Couch Dan said.

I heard Irmarie let our the breath she was holding in. We walked out of the cafeteria, holding hands.

As we walked out, I saw Sabrina give us a death glare. I swear I saw smoke come out of her ears from the anger.

Was she angry that she got spaghetti sauce all over her shirt and pants, or that she got spaghetti all over her hair and that her make-up was ruin?

The answer to that is yes, but there was also another reason. I was holding Irmarie's hand and I told Sabrina that I was gay and dating Frank. Shit I gotta go find Frank.

Luckily for me, Frank had music with us. Bad news is that Sabrina also had the same hour as us.

We walked into the classroom. Luckily Frank, Jamia, Mikey, Venus, Alicia, Aaron, Phil, Austin, and Alan had also escape from the lunch room before Couch Dan had come and gave whatever punishment he had in mind.

As we took out seat in the back, Sabrina came in. Her shirt and pants stained with spaghetti sauce. She saw me an gave me a glare. I quickly say next to Frank and held his hand.

Irmarie and Jamia saw us holding hands. Shit I forgot to tell Irmarie...

"Oh..." Jamia said when she realize that Sabrina was in here.

"Well," Irmarie began. "Looks like me and Jamia are going to get some action tonight."

Jamia, who was sitting next to Irmarie, high fives Irmarie.

"Alright. But who's going on top?" Jamia asked.

"Depending on who has more energy, Sugar." Irmarie said and laughed.

"Wait, you're going to fuck her?!" Frank whispered to Irmarie.

"Oh yeah Frank. After all, you're going to be fucking Gerard." Irmarie smiled and laughed.

Oh she is good at embarrassing me and is a good actor too.

During the whole music class, Frank and I acted as couples while Jamia and Irmarie talked about who's going on top of their lesbian 'sex night'.

Alan and Phil kept on laughing about our situation. To be honest, this was pretty fun. We got a lot of glares from people around us, but then we told them this was all a joke and they laughed with us.

Music class ended way too fast. I was kind of sad because music class was really the only class that I had with the whole gang.

The rest of the day was interesting. Irmarie fell out of her chair during Art class. Mrs. Hale was laughing so hard that she told Irmarie that she was going to tell Robin about that. Irmarie was really embarrassed.

By now, we were getting out of the hot ass bus. The day was surprisingly warm. Irmarie had her hoodie on because she was too lazy to carry it. So I took off her hoodie and carried it myself.

"You really didn't need to do that." Irmarie said as she grabbed her hoodie from my hand.

"Hey, I want to." I said and took it from her hands.

"Okay." She said.

We began to walk home, holding hands.

I wonder when Robin, or Vinny, or Rocky, or Spike are going to tell her about Rosa...

Irmarie opened the door. Star and Vinny were on the table, looking at a news paper.

"Whatcha doing?" Irmarie asked them.

"Looking for a new job." Vinny said.

"You got fired?" Irmarie asked in horror.

"No. I'm going to quit it. Remember how I went to collage for engineering?" Vinny asked.

"Yeah."

"There making a film in New York and they're looking for an engineer to help repair damage things. I sighed up for it today." Vinny said.

"And what are you going to do when the movie is done?" I asked.

"Work at a radio station. Makes great money." Vinny said.

"Okay. Good for you Vinny." Irmarie said.

"You know, I asked Mr. Fray to give you my old job." Vinny said.

"Really?" Irmarie asked.

"Yep. You start tomorrow at six." Vinny said.

"Okay. I'll remember." Irmarie said.

"Hey. I promised you something. Come on, lets go get ice cream." I said to Irmarie.

"Yay!" Irmarie smiled and jumped like a five year old. She's so adorable.

We decided to walk so we can enjoy this rare weather in April. It was so warm and sunny.

"So, your birthday is coming up." Irmarie smiled.

"I know." I said.

"What do you want me to get you?" She asked.

"It wouldn't be a surprise then, Irmarie." I sang.

"Oh! Do you like surprises?" She asked.

"I do. Why?"

"Oh, I forgot there are people who do enjoy surprises that's all." She laughed.

"Do you hate surprises?" I asked her.

"Yep. The only reason why is because when I turned ten Spike was hiding by a wall and I didn't see him and he jumped out and scared the living shit out of me." She said.

I laughed.

"I am serious! They had to take me to the hospital after that because I was so traumatized." Irmarie said.

"Really. What did he do?" I asked.

"He jumped out in a freaking dark hallway of a fucking creepy house, that's what happen." Irmarie said.

"That brother of yours is a prankster." I laughed.

"Sadly he is." Irmarie sighed.

We reached the ice cream shop and discussed over funny memories we had when we were kids. Turns out we both at one point almost burn the house down.

We headed back home. Irmarie kept complaining on how much homework they gave us and how is the equation to find the midpoint is going to help her in her future.

Little does Irmarie knows the truth about her mom.
