The next couple of months, Frank started to drift apart from me. I would try to talk to him in the hallways at school but he would ignore me, and keep walking. I would see him talking to other people, and smiling his fake smile at them and fake laughing. He was acting fake.

I felt alone again. I was alone. I had Mikey, who honestly, I cared about me more than anything. But Frank was different.

When I finally got the hint that Frank wanted to be with those fake wannabes, I stopped trying to contact him. He no longer sat with me at lunch, or wrote songs with Mikey and me, or even breathed in my direction. I guess I just gave up.

Finally, I caught him one day, outside of the boys locker room.

"FRANK!" I yelled.
"G-Gerard..." he whispered.
He had a really depressed look on his face.

"Frank, why have you been avoiding me?" I asked, demandingly.
"I..." he whispered.

Just then, Frank bursted out into tears. His face got hot and red, and he made small sniffling sounds. I stared at him.

"I'm... I'm..."

He looked at his jacket sleeve and pulled it down. There, was an array of scars on his arm.

"I'm not okay."
