A/N I wrote this in my English lesson one time, so it's not my best. Read and tell me what you think please?
"Gerard! Come on. Look alive sunshine!" my mother yelled at me from downstairs, obviously wanting me to get up and go have some breakfast. I threw on some black skinny jeans and my favourite Misfits hoodie and slowly trudged down to the kitchen, stomping my Converse trainers on every step.
After a steaming hot mug of coffee and a couple of slices of toast, I gave my mum a quick kiss on the cheek and set off walking to school with my little brother, Mikey. This was all I needed; another day of preppy acting so I would look like an okay guy. At home I was alone, sensitive and 'emo'. As soon as I walked through the gates of Chadsworth High, I was popular, cool kid that everyone knew me as. But I knew I couldn't reveal myself for who I really was.
The first time I saw him it was like we were the only guys in school.
"Hey" The boy approached me slowly but I was too love-stricken to notice. "Do you know where S4 is? I'm kinda new here" His voice was soft and tender like the tones of an angel's harp.
"Um, yeah. I'll take you there now" I stayed rooted to the spot for what seemed like an eternity before the new kid stuck out a hand.
"Frank Iero" His name was as beautiful as he was. I shook his soft hand and smiled.
"Gerard Way"
We entered the empty science lab 15 minutes early. I had to hold myself up on the door handle so I didn't faint; Frank was perfection.
'Oh my god!' my thoughts echoed through my head. 'I'm in love with a guy I barely know' I grabbed a seat at the back of the room and Frank followed.
"So" I tried to strike up a conversation. "What made you move to this shit-hole?"
So here's my overview of my morning: I came to school after a long weekend of coursework and studying, thinking it would be a normal day. Then I just so happened to bump into the boy who was now making thick tears roll down my pale face, but also the boy who I knew I was destined to be with. If only he was bi too...
"Oh, Frankie..." He sobbed into my chest and I held him close, not wanting to let go. I lifted up his chin and stroked away his jet black hair to reveal his eyes. As I was staring into swirling pools of hazel, a sudden feeling of contact brought me back into reality. Frank's lips were pressed against mine and I was complying with his every movement. I'm sure he was as shocked as I was, but no one can guess where true love exists. However much I wanted this moment to carry on, a loud bang tore us apart.
I stared at my so called friends, fists clenched, as they took in the scene in front of them, a horrified look appearing on each one of their homophobic faces. Standing in silence, we all looked at each other until one of the larger boys shouted at me and Frank.
"You filthy fucking homos!" There was a buzz of mutters and murmurs echoing through the throng. It was quickly hushed up as I sprinted through them. Not wanting to touch the 'gay kid', they parted immediately, giving me a clear path out of the room.
As I ran through the school gates for the last time, I heard rapid footsteps behind me.
"GEE!" It was Frank who was following me. "BABY, STOP!" I ignored his shouts and turned down a narrow pathway. Crying as much as I was, Frank continued to follow me and yell for me to stop, but I drowned out the noise with my thoughts of suicide. Finally, I reached my house. Collapsing outside, I curled up into a ball and sobbed harder and harder until I was carried to my bedroom.
The two of us were sat on my bed reading anime comics, Frank's hand clutching mine as a way of showing support. I pushed away the upsetting thoughts of our dilemma at school. Only three people in my life mattered to me: Mikey, Mum and Frank. The only difference was that I was in love with Frank. We led back on my pillows, and I fell asleep in Frank's arms.
I was in a dreamland full of blooming flowers and still rivers. It was just me and Frank: the forbidden lovers. Just us in a place of peace. In a place where no one could hurt us. Even in my dreams I felt complete with Frank. I wished people would get me. I wished the world would just accept gays and bisexuals. But of course, society isn't that understanding...
