FRANKS POV

Sunday.
-
My name is Frank iero, I'm sixteen. And I'd consider myself a good kid.

I go to church, I get good grades, all my friends are from my church, I never show disobedience or dishonestly.

I have a girlfriend who's also from the church, her name is Candice. My family really loves her, and I do too.

This summer me and my best friend Mikey are supposed to go to this church camp together. We are sort of being forced due to how religious our parents are. Don't get me wrong, I love my church and my religion but it's just I'd rather spend my summer sleeping in, but at least we'll be going together.

Mikey has an other brother, Gerard. But they don't get along, that's because Gerard doesn't get along with the whole family. He doesn't believe in the whole "religion bullcrap." His words, not mine.

Due to that I normally have to stay away from Gerard, I feel like he's just confused. Maybe he'll find god soon enough.

I got ready for church the way I did every Sunday morning, a white button up and a red tie with black dress pants. Typical church clothes. I got in the car with my parents and we set off to go pick up Mikey and Gerard, they're mom and dad weren't in town for the week but insisted that they still had to go to church. So my parents offered to take them, our families are super close.

My mom turned to me before we were at their house. "Make sure not to sit next to Gerard, I don't need him influencing you in any way" she said, I nodded.

I don't think I needed him influencing me in any way either, he was a really bad kid honestly. I'd never even think about disobeying my parents the way he did.

He's had premarital sex, gay sex, gotten drunk and high which is very illegal, gotten suspended from multiple different schools, held a gun, shot a gun, given and received hand jobs and blow jobs, committed arson, gone against our god and our church. Not to mention he uses swear words, not as worse as the other ones but still a sin nonetheless.

I know because when his mom finds out she gossips to our mom and the church, and I've known Mikey my whole life, meaning I've known Gerard my whole life.

He's told me about a lot of the things I've just listed, but it's because he knows I don't wanna hear about it.

It amused him when I would cover my ears walking away as he'd  follow me around whispering every bad thing he's ever done in my ear.

I remember when he got high for the first time and he tripped out so badly when me and Mikey were in the middle of a sleepover, he had to tell his parents about what he took because he thought he was dying. He wasn't it was just paranoia.

Later he told me never to get high when you're too nervous because you'll start hallucinating and it won't be fun for you. As if I'd ever get high in the first place.

After he told me such information when I was just twelve, and then some. I knew it would be better to stay far away from Gerard Way, for my own purity's sake.

The second Gerard opened the car door and got in the car, my mom shot me a look telling me to move on the other side and let Mikey sit in the middle. Which I did so, Mikey shot me a look asking why he was in the middle and when I shrugged he rolled his eyes but still got in nonetheless.

I got out so Mikey could get in the middle and Gerard for some reason found it amusing I was purposely doing all of this just so I didn't have to sit next to him. He knew exactly what my family thought of him. And I knew he just didn't care, and if anything he found it funny the way me and my family would go to extreme and unnecessary measures to stay away from him, we avoided him like the plague.
