The next day my throat was feeling better. I could talk and eat but it's not like I do those things anyway.

I get up from my comfortable bed and put on my ripped jeans and a Falling in Reverse band t-shirt. I put on my wore out converse and walk to the bathroom.

I don't really feel like adding ten hundreds pounds of makeup. Maybe on quick layer will be good. I started to add the white powder when there was a knock on my door.

Strange usually no one likes to come towards to me unless they are gonna beat me up.

I decided to ignore the knock sense I don't have my makeup on. I know I sound like a girl but I can't let people see me. It's been two years sense they have seen it.

I continue to put my makeup when I heard my door open. I didn't look because I just need to finish up and I'm close.

"Knock knock." Are familiar voice says.

I added the black around my eyes and looked to see Frank standing in the doorway.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my backpack. I tried to push passed him but he grabbed my shoulder and held me in place. "Hey." Frank said.

I flinched and back away but he stepped closer. "Please don't hurt me." I whisper. Frank looked shock. "What do you mean?" He asked.

I shake my head and walked up the stairs. "Hey wait up." Frank said. I ran out the door and ran to school.

Half way through the block I stopped running. I needed to get a breath. I could see the school it's not that far. I wish it was far because then it would be easier to hide from Frank.

"Hey! Please Gerard hold on! Wait there." Frank screamed.

Damn it!!!! I thought he would stop running after me. I took a long breath in and started to run to school.

When I made it the school gates I saw the jocks staring at me. I ran pass them and surprisingly they didn't stop me or pull me.

I burst through the school doors and ran into to someone. Together we came crashing down.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

"Damn your hot." The boy on top of me said.

I looked up and blushed. "I'm Bert. Bert McCracken." He said getting up.

He held out his hand and I grabbed it. He pulled me up and I dusted off my pants.

"What's your name?" Bert asked.

"Gerard Way." I whisper.

"Sorry what was that? I could hear you. You speak so soft." Bert said.

I grabbed my sketch book from my backpack and wrote down my name.

He gave me questioning look but shook it off. "So I'm guessing that you don't like to talk?" He said.

I nodded my head and looked down. "There's no reason to be a shamed it happens but  I would love to hear your voice one day." Bert says.

I nodded my head. 'Maybe one day, I wrote. He gave me a smile. He leaned closer and kissed my cheek.

I had my eyes closed when Bert said 'good bye and left. After a moment I turned around and saw Frank standing there with a shocked expression.

He turned his heels and walked out to his friends. I tried not to think about it but I felt really guilty.

I'll just talk to him after school and explain it to him. He'll understand, right?
