Chapter 10

Franks pov

It was getting darker as the sun set. As it stated getting darker I got more panicked.
My mother will be so freaked if I don't show up. Will she come looking for me? She'll never find me here. I'm doomed! I'm going to be here for the whole night and then tomorrow bob will come back and get me and do something else. Why did I leave my school bag back at the room! I could've had my phone with me and texted someone for help. Ugh.

As I was complaining I heard noises out in the school hall. I froze. "H-hello?" I said meekly. I didn't know who it was, but as much as I wanted to get out, I still didn't want someone to see that I've been trapped in a locker, that's humiliating. But then again it could be some creep who has broken into the school. But hopefully it's just a teacher. Unless bob has come back with his buddies and they plan on killing me and leaving my body somewhere deserted.

I heard fidget and some rattling. Suddenly the door to the locker swung open to reveal the messy mop of black hair. "Oh thank god." I sighed with relief as I practically fell out of the locker.
"Thank you thank you thank you." I praised as I stretched out my muscles. I paused as a brief thought crossed my mind. Hang on a moment. "Wait why are you here?"

"It doesn't matter I'll explain later." He said as he grabbed my shoulder and led us out of the school. Confused I followed him. I noticed his other hand held my school back pack.

Wtf is this? How the hell? What is he like my guardian angel or something? Because I swear to god he is always there when I get myself into trouble, and I barely even know this guy!

He dragged me along out of the school. "So uh, how did you know I was in there? Do you go to my school? I didn't know you went to my school. Wait aren't you like 19 or whatever? You don't go to school. Are you like my guardian angel or something because like you are always there magically when I'm in the shit."

He didn't answer me he jut kept walking at a fast pace with his eyes fixed in front of him. I stopped asking questions and fell silent, I'm just happy to be free and out of that god damn school.

"I'll walk you home." He said in a plain statement as he shoved my bag in my hands. "Okay." Is all I said as I slipped my bag on over my shoulders. He started walking again and I fell into step beside him. We walked along the roads silently. He didn't say a word to me, nor did it look like he was going to.

I watched him as we walked. He was so weird and mysterious. Who is this guy even. What is the deal with him. Why do I even follow him?

I continued to stare at him trying to figure him out. He must've known I was staring because it's not like I tried to hide the fact that i was. But he didn't say anything about it as he kept walking.

He had a serious expression on his face and he looked kind of mad. He was wearing black baggy jeans that had a rip in one knee and a baggy hoodie with converse. He smelt like coffee and cigarettes and for some reason I found myself liking the smell.

He glanced down at me for a moment and I looked away from him to see we were down my street. I could see Mr.ross out in his garden. I frowned, I hope he doesn't see me. I moved to the other side of Gerard and tried to hide behind his taller body.

But it was too late. Mr.ross spotted me. "You whipper snapper! Your mother has been worried sick about you! And your off not giving a care about your poor mother as you hang out with your boyfriend. You make me sick. You better keep you and your boyfriend away from my house you faggot!" He yelled out to me as he shook he old fist in the air. "Sinners! God will not figure you! Gays go to hell!" He carried on.

I whimpered away and hid behind Gerard. Hey he's bigger and tougher looking than me. "Sorry about that." I whispered to Gerard. "You don't need to apologise, it's not your fault he's a judgmental old hag." He said without looking at me. I looked up at him. "Yeah, I suppose." I looked down. "God I just want to kill him." I said without thinking in my annoyance.

"Yeah me too." Gerard replied as he stopped in front of my house.

I looked up at him. Does he know mr.ross? I realised he had stopped and we were at the front of my house. "Um thanks for helping me out." I said as I scratched the back of my head. He nodded and turned to walk away. I turned and walked up to my house. When I got to my door I turned back to see him walking down the street letting out a puff of his smoke as he walked.

Gerard's pov

I stormed into my house slamming the door behind me. Mikey looked up at me from his spot on the couch. I ignored his stare and stormed down the hall into my room.

I ran my hands through my hair, pulling at the black strands.

Fucking hell! He has to put up with all that every day! No one seems to fucking care! He has to put up with all this shit from his neighbours and kids at school and no one knows about it or gives a fuck! What would have happened if I hadn't been watching! He would've been stuck in that locker for the whole night alone and by himself! And he got hit! He got punched! And where were the teachers, no where to be fucking seen. God it's only been one day and I've already seen people try to beat the crap out of him. And that fucking old man! Who is he to be an asshole to frank! He doesn't deserve this crap!

There was a knock on my door snapping me out of my rage. I spun around and faced it. "Gee?" Mikeys voice came from the other side of the door quietly.
I took a deep breathe and opened it.
Mikey looked up at me through his glasses. "Are you alright?" He asked sounding kind of worried.
"Oh, yeah I'm fine." I said as I ran my hand through my hair again and leaned against the door. Mikey walked into my messy room and sat on my unmade bed. "Why?" I asked. He shrugged. "I don't know you just seemed really angry when you came in, is something wrong?"

"No. I don't know. No." I fumbled. Why was I so frustrated and angry?
"Well what was with all the marching around and the door slamming?" He questioned. "There was just this guy on the street who was being a dick." I said.
"Normally that doesn't bother you, why is it bothering you so much now? What did he say?"

"No he wasn't speaking to me he was being a stuck up asshole to frank and I just..." I said furiously as I collapsed onto my desk chair.
"Wait you were with frank?"

"Well yeah, well, only for a little bit after school, we, we met in the street and I walked him back to his house. His neighbour is such an asshole to him." I said lying through the first part and shook my head.
"Oh." Was all he said as he seemed to think about what I had just said.
"You guys must be pretty close then for you to get so upset over something that happened to him." He concluded.

I practically choked. "No Mikey, we aren't even really friends, I've only met him like twice. It's just.." I started rambling on.

"Okay okay I get it bla bla bla Gerard doesn't have friends because Gerard no like people. Gerard is a lone wolf who hides in the basement and only leaves the house on rainy days when the sun isn't out. You know I swear to god you're like a vampire or something." Mikey rambled as he stood up from my bed.

"No I'm not vampire. I just hate the sun because it's annoying and hot, and rainy weather has more of a better feel to it and it's calming." I laughed as I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever. All I'm saying is that you should go out more and actually get to know frank and try to be his friend because everyone needs friends. I'm sick of seeing you looking bored as you sit in the basement for days."

"Hey I don't get bored in the basement, I can be perfectly amused by just staring at the wall for hours." I argued jokingly.

He rolled his eyes at me and laughed as he walked out of my room. "Weirdo." He said as he closed the door behind him.

My smile faded when he left. God I was getting really worked up about all this. It's just some guy that I barely know, why the fuck am I getting so sensitive.

I picked a water bottle up off my desk and drank out of it. I wiped my wet mouth with my sleeve.

God frank, what are you doing to me.
