Demolition Lovers//Gerard Way

(9)

  As Meira walked into the school she got glares and dirty look from the other students. It seemed as if they were talking about her as she passed.

  Gerard walked up to her, throwing his arm around her shoulders and urging her to walk faster to Ray. She picked her pace up, getting there quicker. Ray gave her a sympathetic look before explaining the glares and overwhelming whispers.

  "Matt said you slept with him." Ray explained, pulling Meira into his chest. A strangled sob left her throat as she pushed against Ray. He kept a hold on her, not daring to let her go.

  When they had to go to first period Ray had let her go. Her face was slightly puffy, not enough to be noticed.

  They walked to the class getting in just before the bell had rung. They sat in their seats and sat through the entire class. The lunch block came by quicker than Meira had thought. She stood from the desk, walking to the large cafeteria. She sat down, not wanting to eat anything. Frank went behind her, slipping his arm around her waist as be sat beside her.

  "I heard what happened with Matt. If you want a better guy, call me." He said cockily. He added a wink at the end, making her blush. She had to admit that Frank was very visually appealing. She sighed, shaking her head slightly.

  As the state's and whispers continued, she got even more nervous. She sighed laying her head on Frank's shoulder, just to try and block out the stares.

  "They're still staring. I'm so embarrased." Meira said, tension beginning to build in her chest. She crossed her arms over her stomach, pushing lightly to try and block out the dull pain.

  "They'll stop eventually hon, you'll be alright." Ray said, reaching over and moving hair from her face. Meira felt Frank's hand move down to her thigh, rubbing it lightly.

  "Frank. Could you please not?" She asked quietly so only he could hear. He nodded moving his hand to rest on her hip. She felt more at ease with his hands off her, his hand on her thigh only reminding her more of Matt.

  "I'm gonna beat Matt's fucking ass." Ray said suddenly. Gerard looked at him, wide eyed. Ray usually wasn't aggressive. Usually he was sweet, caring. He would stop fights not start them.

"Ray. Please, don't talk about him. I don't want to think about him at all." She pleaded. Ray nodded apologizing immediately.

  Meira felt her phone vibrate in the waistband of her skirt. She took it out seeing a text from her dad saying he wouldn't be able to pick her up from school, that she would have to get a ride or walk. She sighed, slamming her phone on her thigh. Ray looked over, seeing the stress build in her eyes and actions.

  The tension in the pit of her stomach grew worse at the thought of having to walk home in her uniform and uncomfortable flats.

  "What's wrong hon?" Ray asked, his eyes fixated upon her. She sighed and clamped her eyes shut tightly. She opened them again, blinking slowly a few times.

  "I have to walk home." She said. The heat and her dark uniform didn't mix well. Frank spoke up, pulling her from her trance.

  "I'll take you home babe." He said, moving his hand to rest of her shoulder. His cologne smelled good, it relaxed her a lot.

  "Thank you." She responded, her eyelids feeling heavy. She would have fallen asleep if she wasn't in the middle of school. When she looked to Gerard she saw slight anger. She was mildly confused. They made brief eye cintact, him being the one to break the contact.

  As the bell rang taking them to their next class Meira was harshly pushed directly into Gerard. When she looked at who pushed her she saw Becky. She was tall and blonde, her blue eyes complimenting her pale completion perfectly.

  "Watch where you're going, whore." She spat angrily, shoving her again and she flipped her hair and walked away. She sighed, apologizing to Gerard quickly before fixing her backpack and uniform.

  "What the hell is her problem?" He asked. He still looked angry when they walked into their next class. As that one ended and they transitioned to the next class Gerard seemed to have calmed down a lot.

  The bell had finally rung, dismissing them for the day. She walked towards Frank, smiling as she was led to his car.

  They climbed in to his car, her giving him directions as he silently drove. When they got there, Frank didn't let her get out if the car immediately. Instead he reached across the center console and grabbed her blazer pulling her lips to his in a heated kiss.

  When he finally released she quickly caught her breath, said an awkward goodbye, and hopped out. She let a breath she didn't know she was holding as she got inside and went to her room.

  The day had been too stressful. She flopped face down onto her bed, staying there for hours before she fell asleep.
