Demolition lovers...

I'm Not Your Anti Depressant, I'm The Pain Of Depression

A day had gone by and I was still obsessing over Frank, lurking in the corridors and waiting for him on the oval. Maybe I was wrong to believe he would still love me, especially after I just hung him out to dry like that. Precious life, we all take for granted the heart we were born with,senselessly breaking it with the fantasy of a love that can never be. Who needs a heart when you can't bleed, or a body when you can't feel. Thinking back to that day I would've given my soul to save Frank, but he was alive and that was enough for me, or it should have been.

I figured Frank wouldn't show after what happened that day so I gave up on waiting and decided to go back to my dorm room. I walked through the oval to get back and I was yanked behind a tree by the same teacher from before.

I tore away from him as he clasped my mouth and slammed me against the tree. He shushed me when I tried to scream.

I was really scared of what would happen if I disobeyed him so I kept quiet and backed further onto the tree.
He lifted my shirt and looked at the marks he left.
He laughed and continued to shake my shoulders and slam me into the tree.
I begged him to stop as I felt his hands creep up my torso. I cried and struggled but he pushed me against the tree again, I whimpered at the pain racing up my back.
He slapped me and stuck his tongue down my throat. I pulled away and shook, He rose his hand to abuse me as another teacher walked through the trees and saw us.
The teacher who was assaulting me quickly took control of his hand and slowly patted my head, twisting his rage into a disfigured smile and glaring into my eyes, he turned around and smiled at the second male teacher who started walking towards us.
"Is everything alright Mr Kieth? A student heard screaming coming from over here" he spoke up, directing his stare to me.
I wiped my tear stained cheeks and looked up at my abuser.
He smiled at me, rubbed my head and turned back to lie to the other teacher.
"Yes, everything's fine, Gerard here was just having some issues and we were just talking about it?" He lied.
I screwed up my face and felt my heart beating out of my chest.
"Is that true, are you okay Gerard?" The teacher asked.
I looked at my abuser again who was shooting a cold stare at me and nodding, slowly.
I faked a smile and wiped my face again.
"Yeah, I'm... Fine" I cried inside as I delivered that line to the one authority figure who could help me.
I tried to sound more convincing as I grinned.
"I feel much better" I lied.
The teacher gave me and my abuser a skeptical look as I directed my scared expression to the ground, trying to avoid the situation.
Then Mr Kieth hugged me, I shuttered and pretended to be happy.
The other teacher smiled and turned around. My abuser let go of me and made sure
he was gone.
The second he let go of me and turned his back, I ran.

I ran through the trees, getting the leaves stuck in my hair.
I ran as far as I could until I collided with someone.
I bounced off of them and flew back, landing on my back.

I stared into the blurring clouds, not only from my head colliding with the ground but from residence of my tears.

Frank...

Why? He was almost haunting me at this point.

I scrambled to my feet and helped him up.
He flipped his black curl off his face and rubbed the back of his head, accepting my hand and pulling himself up.
I looked down, avoiding his eyes.
He lifted my chin, looking around the oval and quickly walked me to the main building.
"Let's get you out of this uniform Gerard" he put his arm around my shoulder and led me to his dorm again.

The small trip to the dormitories gave me time to think, my gaze only seemed stuck on his hand, I had the sudden urge to hold it. He was perfect, and he seemed to be perfectly fine with me.

When we reached his door I smelt something, something... Burning.
He stopped, told me to stand near the door and took out his knife.
He etched the door frame with the blade, smoke immediately seeped through the crack.
He groaned and kicked the door down.
