Yes, Mr. Way

'We should take the long way' Gerard smiled, as we pulled away from outside the doctors.

'Sure' I smiled back, I'm happy my mom is okay with it, I guess it will be a bit weird at first, you know...having a pregnant son, but my mom's not a judgemental person.

'So Frankie, a baby' Gerard smiled, placing his hand on my leg.

'Yeah, its great' I smiled, glancing at him.

'But, what about getting a bump? Wouldn't people get suspicious?' I added.

'Just wear a few hoodies, that should cover it' He smiled.

'Or, why don't i just drop out of school?' I said....'I wouldn't mind, i hate school anyway Gee'.

'Well, no, I'm not saying this just because I'm a teacher, but education is important too' Gerard said.

'I guess' I said, looking down a little. This pregnancy might be awkward after all.

'Actually there might be a way, why don't i teach you separately? a one to one maybe? Its still in school, but it just means ill be teaching your subjects, and there will be no other kids there?' Gerard smiled.

'Well, at least the attention will be taken away from me' I said....It was a good idea, and it meant that i didn't have to put up with the bullies.

'I will ask about it' Gerard smiled.

We pulled up outside his house and got out the car. As we made our way we heard someone shouting.

'Caught you, you little fag' A deep-ish voice said.

'And you are?' Gerard said as calmly as possible.

'Your worst nightmare' He snarled. I don't think any of us had met this kid before, but he obviously knows something.

'Oi, you little fag' He laughed, turning to me, i saw that behind him there were a few others. following him.

'I know you, your Frank, the one who fucks teachers right?' Another one shouted.

'Just fuck off' I said quietly.

'Or what?' This boy said, getting closer to me, then Gerard moved and stood in between us.

'Now, boys, i think we should keep our opinions to ourselves, accept our differences and get on our way, yes?' He smiled sarcasticly. The boy gave him a dirty look then turned around, signalling to his mates.

'Ill fucking get you, faggot' He snarled, looking back at me.

Once they were pretty much gone we walked into Gerards house and that's when i couldn't hold in my tears any more.

'Frank?' Gerard said, wrapping his arm around me.

'I'm sorry, i just cant take it any more' I cried, falling to the floor.

'Frank, everything is gonna be okay, ill make sure of it, no matter what you always have me' He said...'I love you Frank' He added.

'Look, we should wait about this child thing, maybe when i have left school, Gee its best for the both of us' I cried, which upset Gerard.

'I understand' He sighed 'Just don't go tomorrow' He added.

'I wont, look, Gee, we have so much time but i don't think now would be the best' I sobbed, as Gerard held me in his arms.

'I know Frankie' he sniffed, 'I know'.

'I think i should tell my mom too, i don't want her getting her hopes up about it all you know' I sniffed, wiping my eyes and grabbing my phone. Gerard kissed me softly on the cheek.

'Okay Frankie' He smiled weakly, 'No matter what i love you and i respect every decision you make' he said.

I called my mom and she seemed a little upset about it, but she was understanding, now just isn't the perfect time, i wish it was, but it just isnt. When i was done I walked into Gerard's room where he was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

'You don't think anything less of me, do you?' I sad, trying my hardest not to cry.

'No, of course not Frankie' Gerard said, getting up and pulling me tight into a hug. Which comforted me alot.

'Its just.....' and that's when i broke down. 'Its just that i love you more than anything ive ever loved before, losing you would kill me Gee, i wouldn't be able to live without you' I cried, as Gerard held me tight.

'You wont loose me, never think like that again, Frankie, you are my everything' He said, i could tell he was crying a little too.

'I love you so much' I said.

'I love you too Frankie' Gerard sniffed, kissing me.
