The Kid's From Yesterday

Help

Gerard's P.O.V

I watched her walk away. Hart was here? I'd dreamt of tracking her down to apologise ever since she left. I never hated her. I was actually in love with her. But she was the school geek and I was the popular kid. I should have chose her over popularity. But I was scared. So every time my friends asked why I was staring at her, I'd make up an excuse. Then I'd tease her. As for what that fucking Mirabel did, I didn't know. I would never let it go that far. I could never hurt her that way. Ever. Only one person knew my true feelings. Mikey. He constantly kicked off at me. Telling me to stop being such a dick and tell her. But I knew she already hated me by then. Now I've seen her again, I have to find a way to sort this out.
I get up and dust myself down. Then I head into the music hall. I spot her straight away. She's stood with that Joel and four girls. Brian's talking to them. She looks up as I walk in. Her eyes meet mine. She looks petrified. Then she turns away, quickly. I head to Mikey.
"You okay, bruv?" He asks, frowning.
I sigh. "Remember that girl in high school I was in love with?"
"The one whose life you made a living hell?" He clarified. "Oh yes. I remember her."
"She's here."
His eyes widened as he looked around. "What? Where?"
"With Brian." I said leaning against the stage and looked back at her. "Electra Hart."
His jaw dropped open as he spotted her. "Holy crap." He cursed. "She's fucking hot."
"Mirabel carved the word Freak into her stomach."
Mikey swung round to look at me. "She what?" He looked back at Elektra. "Poor girl."
"She'll never forgive me." I whispered. "What do I do? I still love her."

Elektra's P.O.V

I could feel his eyes on me. But I have to stay strong. I WILL fight back this time.
"You okay?" Joel asked, frowning.
I smiled back at him. "I'm fine. Don't worry."
He grinned. "I already knew you were fine." He said, quietly, blushing.
I laughed and hugged him. "Your so cute." I said, leaving my arm over his shoulders. He rested his head on my shoulder.
"So do all of you want to join my style group too?" Brian asked.
"Well I don't know what everyone else wants to do." I started. "But I'm definitely signing up. I think it'll be fun."
Brian smiled. "Thanks. But you look like you don't need the group."
I leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Thank you." He blushed. I pinched his cheeks. "Your such a sweetie."
He laughed as he pulled away.
"But I'm still joining your group." I insisted. "Someone needs to look out for you."
Everyone laughed as he blushed again.
"Well this is going to be fun." I said, throwing a arm around Brian's shoulder aswell as Joel's. "I have two guys to wind up. Aren't they cute?" I said looking at the laughing girls.

Gerard's P.O.V

I watched as Elektra hugged Joel and Brian. Both men were blushing. The four girl's with them were laughing. I remember the girl's from when they introduced themselves. There was the drummer, Caitlyn. Bass guitar player, Kristin. Rhythm guitar player, Jamia and lead guitarist, Christa. I'm not too bad with first names. Rubbish with surnames. I watched as another spiky haired lad joined the group. Late comer I assume. Immediately he stood by Elektra. After a few minutes she threw her arms around him and joel and laughed. Jealously ran through me. I have no right to be jealous. I'm a fucking idiot.

Elektra's P.O.V

A guy walked over to join us. I looked at him in shock. He's the spitting image of Joel. Except he was slightly chubbier. Just a bit. I let go of Joel and Brian.
"This is my brother, Benji." Joel announced.
I smiled as I threw my arms around both their shoulders. "Two cuties." I stated. "This camp is gonna be fun."
Joel and Benji laughed. I looked at Brian. "Don't think this gets you off the hook. I can handle three off you."
Brian laughed as Benji wiggled his eyebrows. I moved away from Joel to punch Benji in the arm. "Not like that, you pervert."
Everyone laughed as Benji rubbed his arm.
"No fair." He pouted. "There's got to be a law about punching the new kid."
"Elektra gets away with it cos she's so hot." Joel said, then blushed.
I hugged him. "Is poor Joel blushing?" I teased.
Everyone laughed, including Joel. I let him go and sat on the table between Jamia and Christa. I looked up to see both Gerard and Mikey watching us. Mikey gave me a sad smile. Gerard looked pissed off. Fuck. I started to feel like I did at school. I looked at the ground.
"You okay?" Joel asked, putting his hands on my shoulders.
I looked around to see my whole group staring at me with concern. I put on a fake smile. "I'm fine, don't worry."
They all accepted it. Except Joel who pulled me into his arms. I didn't pull away. I hugged back, resting my head on his chest. At some point, Joel ended up sat on the table beside me with me tucked into his side. His arm around my shoulders and my head on his shoulder. I sneaked a look at Gerard. He was still staring at me. The same murderous look on his face. I looked down and started to shake, slightly. Fuck. I can't do this. I can't let him effect me again. I closed my eyes and put my arms around Joels waist. He hugged me back as he leaned down to whisper in my ear.
"You sure your okay?" He whispered.
I opened my eyes and looked up at him. "Can we talk?" I asked. "In private?"
He smiled. "Sure." He said, standing up. "Back in a bit." He said to the group. Then he grabbed my hand and led me outside to the bench. Gerard watched us go.
Joel sat quietly beside me on the bench. Waiting for me to speak. He watched me as I leaned my elbows on my knees and stared at the ground.
"I was bullied badly at school." I started. "The bully was a guy. He never hit me. But he threw stuff at me. Things got really bad. His lackies were the ones to hit me. Every time I went in the girls bathroom. Three girls. The typical blonde bimbos. Problem was, I was in love with him. My bully. How pathetic is that?"
"It's not pathetic." Joel said as he rubbed my back. "It happens."
"My home life wasn't any better." I sighed. "My parents had died in a car crash so I lived with my Grandad and my little brother, Danny. Grandad, Lawrence, hated us. Every time he decided to beat us, I pushed Danny away. So I got it all."
"That's horrible." Joel gasped.
"When he was ten, Danny was diagnosed with cancer. I was seventeen."
Joel froze for a second, then resumed rubbing my back.
"He died six months later, in my arms. Lawrence didn't even go see him." I sighed. "I went to Lawrence's that night. He beat me for getting in late. He had to do his own tea. Next morning he forced me to go to school."
"That's so fucked up." Joel said, angrily. "What a bastard."
"The bulling carried on as usual." I continued."But I didn't react. No crying. No cries of pain. Nothing. I just wrote. Lunchtime came and I headed to the bathroom. Mirabel and her sidekicks were there as usual. Waiting for me. Her sidekicks held me down as she took out a penknife."
Joel gasped.
"She carved the word freak into my stomach." I sighed again as I showed him the scar. He sucked in a shaky breath. "When they left, I bandaged it up and carried on the rest of the school day. He threw a ruler at the back of my head. But I just carried on writing. After school, I headed for a small bridge above a river. I sat on the bridge wall, legs dangling over the side. I took out the note I'd been writing all day and a razorblade."
"God. No." Joel exclaimed as I covered the scar.
"I cut both wrists." I stated, showing him my wrists. "Then waited. Watching the blood drip into the water below. Then someone found me. They took me to the hospital. It was a week before my birthday. I was in the hospital for a week. On my birthday, my saviours took me in. They looked after me. I got a job and saved up to come here. Four years on, I thought things would finally be ok. But it's not." I covered my wrists with my thick black rubber Linkin Park bracelets.
"Why?" Joel asked, softly.
I turned to look at him. "He's here."
Joel looked shocked. "What? Who is it? Has he hurt you? I'll fucking kill him." He snapped.
I hugged him. He hugged back. "You can't do anything, Joel." I pleaded, pulling back to look him in the eyes. "Promise me, Joel, please?"
He softened as he pulled me back into a hug. "It's okay, sweetheart." He said, softly. "I promise. I won't even talk to him. Okay? So who is it?"
I calmed myself down and hugged back. "Gerard Way." I said, quietly.
"Fuck." Joel cursed. "This is gonna be hard. Lucky you have us in your group. Benji and me will look after you. I promise."
I pulled back and kissed him on the lips, briefly. "Thank you."
He smiled as he blushed. After a few minutes silence, he grabbed both my hands and looked down at them. "Can I ask you something, please?" He asked, shyly.
I watched his bowed head. "Anything."
"I...errr...know we've just....errr...met." He stuttered. "But will you...errr...be my....g...girlfriend?"
I was a little shocked he'd asked. I really wasn't expecting it. I pulled back one of my hands to lift his face to look at me. I smiled then leaned in and kissed him. He kissed back, placing one hand on my shoulder. I pulled back, slightly. "Yes, Joel." I said, smiling. "I will be your girlfriend."
He smiled and leaned in to kiss me again.

Gerard's P.O.V

I watched as Elektra walked in with Joel's arm around her shoulders. They walked over to the group where they pulled the new comer to the side. Joel whispered to him while Electra put her head down and bit her lip. After a few minutes, Joel moved back and the new comer hugged Electra. After he backed up, he said something to her then smiled. Elektra looked at Joel, then at the girls in their group. Jamia called her over. She looked back at Joel. Joel....kissed her? Then she headed towards Jamia. I looked back at Joel and the new comer(his twin, I think). Joel was smiling over at Elektra as his twin spoke to him. He answered him every now and then.
What the fuck is going on? They'd only just met and they were already a couple? That can't be right? Can it?

Notes

Incase you haven't worked it out yet. Joel and Benji are the Madden twins from Good Charlotte. I've made Joel a sweet, understanding guy. I don't know what he's like in the real world. I love Good Charlotte but MCR and Gerard Way are my all time favourite. No competition.xxx
