A Flash Back In Time

~17~

~Gerard's P.O.V.~

"Thank you Mr. Armstrong!" I step out of Mr. Armstrong's class and start to head home. I was getting help from my teacher (Mr. Armstrong) to get better at the math that he teaches. Mikey was going to come, but he pulled a "Oh I do not feel good" and went home. So it was just me and my ear buds as I walked home. I get out to the main school yard to see that the foot ball practice that goes on after school is done and the Ass Holes were coming out.... now. They would be going on the same path I would be going on. I pick up my pace, keep my head down, and put in my ear buds to sound out the yelling coming from behind me. When I think I have made it out of the red zone I hear someone yell from behind me.

"Hey! Emo Fag!" One of the Ass Hole yells. Try tried to speed up and get to the cross walk, but they were quick. I feel my hands hit the ground.

"Awww did the little emo fag get hurt?" One of them says making dumb baby faces at as the other two kick my chest. My first thought was to curl up into a ball, but my body was in too much pain. The Ass Holes kept on kicking and kicking. My chest felt like it was about to give and out and die right then and there.

"Back off Chad! You can go home!" Someone yells behind me.

"And what will you do Iero! The smallest guy on the foot ball vs. the biggest!" The one named Chad laughs.

"No, but maybe I would tell your sweet Samantha that you slept with her best friend." I hear him say. 'Someone that is not in the friend group standing up for me? What is happening?' I think to my self.

"You would not!" He yells kicking my chest again I let out a soft cry.

"I would too, so I say fuck off or someone is going to be single."

"Come guys. We can get the fag later." They all walk way leaving me with a bloody nose, a marked up arm, a chest that was about to break in half, a guy I have never met, and more pain.

"Hey buddy, you okay?" He sits down next to me.

"Be sides the fact chest feels like hell and my nose is bleeding yeah I am fine." He gives me hand up.

"Well I am Frank. As you can probably guess I am the smallest one on the Foot Ball team." Frank smiles as I wipe off my face. "Oh here." Frank hands my a ball of napkins.

"Thanks. Were did you get the ball of napkins?" I ask cleaning up my face.

"I am a sloppy mother fucker, so I carry around napkins so then I do not look like a slop."

"Well thanks." I said looking into his hazel eyes "Oh and I am Gerard. Gerard Way." I add.

"Well Gerard I hope you are okay. I was bullied at one point then my dad was done with me having cuts and stuff, so he put me in the Foot Ball team and it is a living hell!" Frank through his arms up into the air.

"That is why am not in it." I pick up my bag and through it on my shoulder. "Nice to meet you Frank and thank you, but I have to head home."

"Where are you headed?" Frank asked fixing the bag on his back.

"Ummmm Maple Road. Why?" I start to put my back ear buds back into my ears.

"I live like a block away from there. Can I join you?"

"Shore I am all alone." He smiles and walks next to me. We walk and walk and we stay quiet.

"So who do you live with?" Frank asked looking up from his feet.

"Mom, Dad. and my younger brother, Mikey" I take out one of my ear buds so then I could here him.

"Oh, cool. I live with my room mate Ray."

"I know Ray! He plays in a band with my brother and I!"

"So that is where is goes off to! Huh."

"I thought your dad made you do Foot Ball?" I cocked my head to the side getting back on track.

"Well I moved out three months ago and it was to late to quit Foot Ball, so I am stuck with it till the last month of school." Frank sighed.

"Does Foot Ball season not end soon?"

"Yes....No....kind of. How it works is that the season ends which means we all go into the gym to do crap and it is not fun."

"So that's why there are random Foot Ball things in there!"

"Yes the Foot Ball team voted on doing it all year so then we would be 'Ready Of Anything' which I do not believe."

"Yeah,"

"So Gerard what do you do? Like what fun thing do you do?"

"Well as you now I play in that band with Ray. I do art in Miss. Jackson's (A/N Yes I did that!) class- not much fun thought, she just takes the fun out of art." I shrug

"Yeah that sucks."

We keep on walk till we get to the point where Frank has to turn off.

"See you at school Gerard!" He waves.

"Yeah!" I walk the rest on the way home by my self. Once I got home I checked my phone.

'One Missed Call From (Y/N) (Y/L/N)' It read

"Shit" I mumbled under my breath.
