Gerard's POV

As I flew through all my morning classes all I heard was about how much of a "Fag" Frank was. This made me think about my first day here last year.

"Hi, I'm Gerard Way, I'm 16 my favorite bands Iron Maiden and... Um…I'm gay." As soon as I said this I regretted it. I saw all the "Chavs" trying to hold back their laughter and their comments about my sexuality. After the bell rang I was walking to my locker and I heard someone behind me. "Hey Gay." He said to me and then he slammed my head into the lockers. Last thing I remember was everyone laughing at Me., and then blacking out." I think after that I must have fallen.

I don't know how long I had been knocked out for. I just got up and left. As I walked home, I was in tears. I walked inside and up to my room. I look at the top shelf of my desk, where I kept my razor for times like these. I sat there, and started to cut as I drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

I just hoped that Frank was having a better first day then I had.

Chapter Two Part One

Franks POV

Today was NOT a good day at all. I knew I would be rejected for being bi, but not to this extent. I was tripped, punched, kicked and taunted, all before lunch. I felt like I was in a living hell. I'm kind of used to being treated like this though. My bitch of a sister treats me like I'm a fucking disease or something. Although strangely my parents accept the fact that I'm bisexual, but they don't exactly know that I prefer men over women quite yet. The lunch bell rang and I walked outside.

As I sat with my back up against the wall with my CD player blasting into my ears. I heard someone say something; I didn't bother to look up. Just another airhead coming up to me to say something stupid again. But I decided to look up after a few seconds. I saw a guy in tight black jeans, with long black hair in an iron maiden shirt. He was gorgeous. "I'm Gerard, can I sit here?" he asked me. "I'm sure you already know who I am, but, I'm Frank" I said as I slid my CD player back into my school bag. "How's your first day been going so far?" Gerard asked me. "Pretty suckish actually" I replied while staring into space. "You know…" Gerard said through bites of an apple "You're not the only one who went through this here." "Really?" I said kind of surprised. He looked me straight in the eyes. "Yeah, I'm gay." I think I just stared at him for a while. I was in shock. Then, the bell rang, ending lunch. "Listen," Gerard said to me. "If you ever, need to talk to someone, give me a call." He tossed me his number and walked away. I gather up my bag and walked to my next class, science.

I walked in to class; the only seat left was in the back, alone. I took my seat and waited for class to begin. In the middle of class a wadded up piece of paper hit me in the face. I put the note, in my hands, under my desk and unraveled it. The not that said,

Frank,
Hey faggot. You're dead. After school, parking lot. Be there.

I immediately looked around for a trace of who threw the note at me. I was terrified now.

After all my classes had passed the bell rang. All I knew now was that I did not want to go outside those school doors. So I would run, as fast as I could. I knew though I was not walking home today. So I went into an empty classroom and called Gerard, he was the closest thing I had to a friend so far. I dialed his number.
"Hello?" his voice sounded.

"Hey, Gerard its frank, can you do me a favor?" I asked nervously.

"Sure man, what can I do for you?" he responded

"I'll explain later but can u give me a lift home? It's really urgent." I said back

"Yeah, no problem, I'll be the one with the silver Subaru XT; I'll be in the parking lot." Gerard told me.

"Kay." I responded back as I flipped my phone shut.

"Okay Frank," I told myself. "You have to run like hell." I poked my head out of the classroom door. I ran. As soon as I had gotten outside of the main door two guys picked me up by my arms. "Come on guys? Put me down?" I said to them both. "Hah, yeah right." The taller of the two replied. "Put him down." I heard someone say. I lifted my head up to see Gerard. "Aw. How cute the gay and the bi fags." The man who was still holding me said to Gerard. "Jared come on. Put him down." Gerard said. "How about, no, you wanna fight Way?" he said. "Actually, I do." Gerard said as he swung his fist and punched Jared in the nose. My captor immediately dropped me. I decided to kick him in the place it hurt. Then I ran after Gerard. "Come on!" He yelled to me. I saw somebody pull his car around, Gerard got into the front as I fan into the back. "That was fast." I half panted half laughed."Yeah, trust me you got really lucky there" Gerard said to me "I got beat up pretty badly last year when I came out, Jared broke my jaw. You're really lucky you had someone to help you out." He finished.

Then we pulled up to a town house. As we stepped out of the car Gerard said "Oh, by the way, this is my brother, Mikey." "Hey man." Mikey said to me as he took his school bag out of the car. "Hey." I said back to him. "Mikes, I'm going to walk with frank back to his house, don't take my car anywhere, okay?" Gerard said to his brother as we started walking down the street. "Kay!" Mikey yelled back to us as we walked towards my house.
