You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In High School
I'll Never Let Them Hurt You, I Promise
FRANKS POV
That fucking jerk. God I hated Josh. I sat outside in the cold wind trying to compose myself. I was so angry that he had did that to Gerard, I was angry with myself too for even letting him. I bet Gerard hated me now, I practically betrayed him, I should have done something sooner. I threw my fist into the concrete ground. "Fuck!" I yelped. Poor Gerard, his first day at school and this had happened to him. Suddenly I realised Mikey hadn't came out to check on Gerard, did he even know what had happened to his brother? I picked myself up and took myself back into the building. Everyone was gone now. I wouldn't be able to find Mikey to tell him, I didn't even know what he looked like. I sighed and walked back out of the building, there was no point in me going to class late. I looked down the road and remembered Gerards figure running along it. Maybe he lived down there somewhere? Well I wasn't staying anywhere near this hell hole any longer so I decided to walk down the road and see if I could find him.
As I walked along the side of the road my thoughts began to wander. I know I had only met Gerard but we had really clicked. We really got on so well, it wasn't even like that with Bob or Ray. Yeah, we're all good friends but it was different with Gerard. I don't know how, but something just feels right with him. I feel I can be myself around him. My thoughts came to a hault as i seen a boy curled in the ground outside a house. "Gee?" I called. Fuck, he looked so vulnerable, I felt even worse now.
"Who is..Frank?" he lifted his head still cuddling into his knees. I ran over and knelt onto the ground beside him. "Gee, are you okay?"I asked, "You really took a beating!" I said with worry filling my voice. His eyes were still filled with tears, he opened his mouth to say something then shut it again. "Gee, im so sorry I didn't do more! I understand if you dont want to talk to me anymore!" I began, but Gerard quickly interupted me.
"No, Frank! Dont say that, you actually did something, I just took it all, I'm such a coward. I'm the one that should be asking you if you still want to be friends" he gulped. What? Was he crazy!
I pulled him into my arms, "Of coarse I still want to be friends with you, and you were brave!" I said trying to comfort him. I felt him burying his face into my shoulders. I leaned my head against him. It felt good cuddling him, he was warm. Wait, theres nothing wrong with that right? It was only a cuddle. I pulled myself off him quickly and stayed sitting next to him. I looked to see him blushing, what? Could he mind read? No no, i was just being paranoid that's all.
"Do you want to go inside, no offence but you could probably do with some clean clothes and a wash at the moment" I smiled, trying to lift the mood. Gee glanced over at me, his eyes were gorgeous. Shit, why did I keep thinking these things. I looked away pretending to check the time to stop him from seeing me blushing. Why the fuck was i even blushing.
"Sure, ah shit, You could do with a shirt too" Gerard said pointing to the blood he had imprinted on me. "Sorry." he apologised.
"It's fine!" I laughed, "lets go then" I said as I picked myself up.
GERARDS POV
I took Frank round the back and found the plant pot my mother always hides the spare back door key under. "You do realize if we get burgled any time soon i'll know who it was, Iero" I laughed as I took the key from underneath it and used it to unlock the door.
We both made our way in and I waddled up the stairs. Frank was still standing at the bottom of them. "Are you afraid i'm going to try it on with you?" i winked to make him laugh. He paused.
"Frank, i was kidding... you do realise that, come on." I reasurred him.
"I know, I know!" he laughed making his way up the stairs.
"Yeah. so this is my bedroom! Here, let me get you a top" i said making my way over to the cupboard, and pulled out a misfits top. Franks face lit up.
"I fucking love them!" he grinned as i passed over the top.
"Yeah, they're an amazing band" I replied. I pulled myself out another shirt. Frank had already began undressing himself. I looked over at him. Woah, he had an amazing body. He had a toned six back and tattoos over his arms. He noticed me looking and blushed. Fuck, he was going to think i was gay now. I wasn't though.. i don't think. I turned myself around and pulled my shirt off over my head. I wasn't letting him see my body, I was vile. I quickly replaced it with my new, clean shirt and then turned around, I could see my reflection in the mirror beside me.
"Fucking hell, There's blood everywhere" I gasped as I touched the dried, crusty blood covering my face.
"It's not that bad, go to the bathroom and i'll help you wash it off" he said trying to calm me down. I took my attention away from the mirror and began to walk out of the room leading Frank to the bathroom. Frank ran the sink while I sat at the edge of the bath.
"Pass me over a sponge, Gee?" I picked one up for him and passed it over, as he leant to take it from me our hands brushed over each others. I felt a weird sensation move up my arm. I blushed and looked down, Frank had seemed to avert his eyes too.
"Right, lean your head back, this is going to probably sting a bit Gee sorry if I.."
"Just shut up and get on with it" I interrupted him, god Frank could talk. He placed the sponge on my face and I felt the warm water flow down my face, then I felt the pain stinging on my forehead. " SHIT, shit, that fucking hurts!" I yelped.
"I did warn you!" Frank replied removing the sponge, "Here take a towel and just wipe the rest off then" He handed me over a clean white towel.
"Of coarse Frank, and what will I tell my mum? Should i use mother nature as the excuse?" I said sarcastically towards him.
"Wait, are you not going to even tell her?" Frank replied looking confused.
"No, you don't understand.. at my last school.. look just leave it Frank!" I hissed. I didn't mean to sound so rude, but I really didnt want to explain my life story to him, I didnt even like thinking about it myself.
"Woah, god, sorry for caring, I was only on about Josh" he sighed.
"I didn't mean it like.."
"I know, it's fine. I'm sorry" Frank interrupted.
I just smiled at him, "Right, i'll use the towel and just chuck it out."
"Good idea there, Gee!" Frank replied smiling. He handed it over and I cleaned myself up.
"Thanks Frank," I said slowly as I stood up beside him.
"What? For helping you wash your face? Shut up , Gee!" He laughed.
"No, " I sighed, "For being there when I needed you, for being a friend to me. Its all i've ever needed really, a friend" He looked at me with those big hazel eyes of his.
"Come here you big softy!" he chuckled.
His arms surrounded me, i leaned my head against his shoulder. "You're a great guy, Frank." I whispered.
"You're not too bad yourself Gee" I heard him whisper back.
