The Only Hope For Me Is You (Gerard Way Fanfic)

Chapter 20

~About a week later (Gerard's grad date)***~

I woke up and slipped into whatever clean clothes were the closest and went upstairs for breakfast. Its already 11:30, I woke up late, and I have to be at the school by 1. I scarf down my breakfast and my mom walks into the kitchen with my gown and cap. "I can't believe my oldest boy is graduating already! I remember walking you to the bus on your first day of kindergarten like it was yesterday!" she cried as she handed it too me.

"Which year, the first or second, mom?" I asked. She ignored my question and I went downstairs to put the gown and cap on, along with a little bit of eyeliner. I checked my phone, only to have Ray burst through the doors of my basement room with a half smile on his face. 

"Ready to go, butthead?" he asked me. I nodded and we headed out to his car, I was excited to see Brook again, since she promised she was going to be there. As I got into the car, I noticed it wasn't Ray's interior of the car, it was someone else's car. 

"Ray, um, who's car is this?" I ask him, since he was on the outside of my window still. I looked at the dashboard of the passenger seat and saw the Ford Mustang symbol, with a horse, and Ray was still smiling like an idiot. Who do I know that owns a Ford Mustang. Then it fucking hit me. Brook has a Mustang. 

"Look beside you idiot." Ray said, as I turned my head to be face-to-face with Brook. She started laughing.

"Hi, Gee. I can't believe it took you THAT long to notice." She said, hugging me. I hugged her back, as soon as my mom came out to see who was here. 

"Ray, honey, who's car is this?" she asked Ray pointing to Brook's car. 

"It's Brook's car." He said. She came over to the car and looked in through my open window to see Brook in the driver seat. 

"Brook! I didn't know you were coming!" She said. 

"I wouldn't miss Gee and Ray's graduation even if I tried." Brook said back.

"Oh, well they have to be there by 1, and the whole thing starts at 2." My mom said to her.

"I know, I'm gonna give Gee and Ray a ride there. Raymond, get your ass in the mother-fucking car!" Brook said, and Ray got in the backseat. 

"Hey, can I come?" Mikey said, coming up to the side of the car.

"Sure, get in, we are picking Frank up on the way, so someone better text him now." Brook said, pulling out of the driveway. 

Brook's P.O.V.

When we got to Frank's house he was already outside waiting for us. I pulled up to where he was and said "Get in loser, we're going shopping" referencing the movie Mean Girls, making everyone laugh. 

"I thought we were going to graduate?" Ray joked. 

"But isn't it all the same?" Gee said from beside me. We all laughed and headed to the school.

We were the first ones there, being 10 minutes early, so we had some time to fuck with the teachers a bit. "Hey Brook, its great to see you again!" Dr. Death walked up to me, giving me a small hug. 

"Dr. Death, how are you? Its been awhile since I moved." I asked him.

"I've been great, came to see two of my favorite students graduate. I wasn't expecting to see you again. Oh, and Gerard, I heard you are going to art school?" Dr. D had continued.

"Yes, after today I will be in New York in art school. Its a good thing they give 1 month breaks between semesters, because I will be going on tour during that one month break. We will be doing the first wing of our BP tour, then the next break we will finish it." Gerard explained. 

"Okay seems great. I don't know what I'm doing with my life yet." I said, laughing. 

"Well, you still have another year yet to decide." Dr. D butted in.

"Yea, I know. I'm gonna go sit down now, its almost 2, you guys should go to wherever you need to be." I told Gee and Ray. I went to where Mikey had sat, with his parents, and Frank followed me. 

"Okay, it is great to have all of you here today to welcome our graduating students to the adult world this evening." The principal began. All I heard after that was blah, blah, blah. Then the students came up to give their speeches and get their diplomas, which I didn't really pay attention to them until I saw Ray at the podium. 

"Well, I had a shitty school life, and I hope it gets better as my band mates and I become more and more popular with our band. There was only ever a few people I ever like in this shitty school. Doctor Death Defying, you're the only teacher I ever liked. Gerard, my best friend is graduating with me today. My other best friends aren't but they know who they are. They are Brooklyn Cherry, Frank Iero, and Micheal Way. If I didn't say your name, and you aren't one of my best friends' parents, then you can go FUCK OFF! I am Raymond Toro and I'm leaving now." He flipped off the crowd and walked off the stage and walked over to us. We were all laughing.

"Nice one." I complimented him. He nodded and we began ignoring more student until Gee came up to the stage. 

"As all of you know, I am Gerard Way. I'm emo, and there isn't anything you motherfuckers can do about it! School was easy as fuck. That shit was easy peasy pumpkin peasy, pumpkin pie motherfuckers! I hate pretty much all of you so SO LONG AND GOOD FUCKING NIGHT MOTHERFUCKERS!" He shouted as he walked of the stage. His mom put her head in her hands and began laughing.
