Adopted By The Ways (Gerard and Mikey Way)

chp. 12

~☆~ Lexi's pov ~☆~
The next morning was really busy, all the guys put their numbers into my cell phone. They all gave me hugs and kissed my head wishing me good luck at school. Gerard said that he will drive me to school, the car ride was semi-quiet. I was panicking as we came closer to school. I began to hyperventilate.

"Lexi, sugar, everything will be ok." Gerard said and took my hand and kissed my knuckles. "I promise."
"Ok." I breathed trying to calm myself down.
"Remember the safe word, text us if or when something is about to happen... and try to make it the whole day." Gerard reminded me.
"Yea, SOS and I'll try to make it the whole day." I nodded.

Gerard pulled into the parking lot at my school and stopped at the front gate.
"I'll pick you up after school so that you don't have to walk, alright sugar?"
"Alright. Same spot?" I asked.
"Yea, right here."
"Alright, thnx for the ride." I thanked Gerard.
"No problem, now go on and learn something." Gerard gestured towards the school.
"Kicking me out I see, ok fine see you later, bye bro." I joked with him. Gerard laughed.
I got out of the car, my crutches with me and walked into school. I slowly made my way to my locker carefully avoiding any run-in's with other students. Once at my locker I collected what I needed and headed straight towards my first class way too early. Throughout the day I was careful to avoid the jocks and cheerleaders, every now and then I got text messages from MCR and BVB asking if I was ok. Of course I'll text back telling them that I'm fine and that nothing happened yet.
Soon it was lunch time and I decided to skip eating lunch and I hung out outside of my next class, so that I can make sure that u can make it to my next class, music. *Beep, beep* I got a text message from Gerard.

G:"Lexi where are you at now? Are you ok? Has there been any trouble?"
L:"lunch time now, I'm sitting outside my next class. I'm ok, nothing happened yet, I've been avoiding everyone."
G:"Lexi, you need to try to make friends here. I promise it won't hurt to try, sugar."
L:"Gerard, everyone hates me here. It's not worth it."
L:"I miss my friends back home."
G:"I kno you do."
L:"you kno, I was never bullied much in Tombstone. The town was small enough that everyone knew eachother."
L:"I kinda wish it was like that again."

I sighed to myself leaning my head back closing my eyes for a moment.... and that's when I heard it.

"Maybe she didn't come to school today.... she wasn't in the courtyard like she usually is." Dean's voice echoed in the hall, but still a distance away.
"I kno she's here, Vikki said she was in her first hour this morning. That shrimp is around here somewhere. I kno it, I just have to search for her." Chad said to Dean. "Do you guys kno what class she has next? She might be there." Chad asked.
"No idea." Trevor said.
"Not a clue." Dean said.

I sat on the ground listening to their conversation. I swiftly decided that I should hide in the music room for them to leave. I hastily got up and pulled the door to the music room open and stepped inside closing the door behind me. I set my stuff down in the back of the room. And pulled out my cell phone to text Gerard.

L:"Gee, there looking for me!"
G:"Don't panic sugar. Are you calling an 'SOS'?"
L:"idk, they haven't found me yet."
G:"ok, Lexi whatever happens, keep fighting, don't give up."
L:"ok.... I will."
L:"Gerard, I'm scared."
G:"I kno you are, keep texting me, ok."
L:"ok."
G:"ok, so tell me what classes you had today."
L:"History, Language arts, Math and Art. I'm currently sitting in the music room waiting for the bell to ring."
