4. The Light Behind His Eyes

A/N I'm writing some of this at school so don't judge this chapter if it's crappy.
~•~•~•~
As soon as I picked my head up I looked at Gerard. I still haven't quite gotten the exact color of his eyes, which I was begging to find out about. I guess I will find out soon, anyway.

I stood in front of Gerard as he was leaning on the doorframe. He wasn't looking at me, but I could tell he was looking straight past me.

I was about to say something, I don't know what exactly, but before I could, he began walking in the direction he was facing. How is he ignoring me when he's about to kick my ass?

I turn around to see what he's doing. Thank god the teacher left so she doesn't see what's about to happen. I hear Gerard speaking and I see him shaking his arm. I tilt my head to the left to get a better view and make sure he isn't psychotic. Turns out he's holding a kid.

But this kid, this is the one who made the comment about me and the Wentz kid. He's probably one of Gerard allies and Gerard's telling him a plan for my death or something.

I walk closer to Gerard as his back is facing me and he's still talking to the other student. Before I knew it, I hear a crack. I run up nearly beside Gerard to see that he punched whoever this kid is. What the fuck is going on?

"Don't...you...dare...fucking...do that again," Gerard says in between punches. "You fucking piece of selfless shit. We don't need people like you," Gerard spat on the helpless thing and threw him to the floor.

Gerard turns around and looks at me with an intimidating look in his eyes, which I see now as a beautiful hazel color that shine in the light. I could lost in the light behind his eyes forever.

I give Gerard a questioning stare because I was really confused at the moment. What did the kid say to Gerard that made him so angry?

"If anyone, and I mean anyone, ever talks about you like that again, tell me. And I will make them bleed. Okay, Frank? Okay, good." Gerard said, answering his own question because I was speechless.

"D-did you p-punch him because of wh-what he said about m-me?" I asked stuttering like an idiot. Gerard is just so angelic he almost literally takes my breath away.

"Yes I did. Why? Because no one deserves to be treated like that and Bert on the floor here needed to learn his lesson."

"Oh...thanks? I guess."

"Listen, kid, I'm not a killer. But I have reasons to hurt a person like Bert." Gerard laid a hand on my shoulder and I think I died at the sudden contact of his hand, his fucking hand.

I was astounded. I had no words.

"You take care of yourself, Frank. I'm gonna go to my next class."

"O-okay. Thanks again, Gerard. Really."

"No problem." He said with the most dashing smile I've ever seen. "See you again whenever." He waved as he walked out of the classroom. I waved back until he was out of sight.

I hear shuffling behind me and I turn around to see Bert getting off the ground while grunting in pain. He begins to speak.

"I don't like you. But I'm telling you the truth. Gerard can not be trusted. I may have hurt you on the inside, but Gerard can hurt anyone. Inside and out. He's the bully everyone knows. He's the fucking leader. He only did that so you think he's innocent. He'll get close to you and hurt you in the worst way possible. Those words he said to me meant nothing."

After his speech, he walked past me and bumped our shoulders in the process. I was too dumbfounded by what he said to have any sort of reaction to it. I was just hoping that what he had said wasn't true. Gerard did look just a little intimidating but why would he hurt one of his own?
