I'm Not Okay (I Promise)

Chapter Three

We walk up to the school and me and Frank head to one of the less used courtyards. I hide in a bush and get ready to film. Tiffany walks up and in her annoying voice says “Hey Frankie baby what’s up?” Frank puts on a fake smile and sits down on a bench, Tiffany doing the same. “Nothing babe just wanted to see you.” He said then started to lean in Tiffany doing the same. Then he said “You have something in your eye.” Then poked her in the eye got up and walked away. He came over to me taking the camera and headed to the library and I headed over to the principal's office to play our song, I look around, this is way to easy. I walk into the office and hooked up the cassette and started to play it. I lock the door and run to the library. Once I get there Gerard, Frank, and Ray are sitting in chairs. Gerard hands me a croake mallet and we head out. People are looking at us knowing it’s was our band because we played in the school talent show this year. We see the jocks heading over to us looking pissed off. We smile. They have their lacrosse sticks and we are now facing off. Everybody including the teachers are staring at us. I smile.

Kyle smirked “Nice hickey fag.” he said with venom in his voice. I walk up to him and whisper “I know it’s Gerard specialty.” Then I bash him in the head and oh my god that felt so good. The jocks charge then we charge. We fight until we can’t fight anymore. My glasses are broken and Frank is still kicking this one guy in the head. “Take this you fucking asshole, I’d like to see you through another sandwich at me again.” Gerard laughed and said “Ease up Frank I think he gets it.” Frank stops and smiles. “Holy shit!” Some kid yelled. “What are you looking at?!” I yelled. They all scattered and I mean even the fucking teachers. I’m Not Okay was still blaring through the speakers. Then we go outside. The ambulances and police cars pull up. We’re arrested and they lug all of the jocks into ambulances. We get to the police station and are put into a holding cell.

“Oh my God we won.” Frank said bouncing up and down. They then bring Adam Akers into the cell. I guess he was okay and probably got knocked around a bit then hid. Frank was doing a little victory dance. “What the fuck are you doing faggots?” A really tough man said from where he stood in the holding cell. “I’d be careful if I were you they took out a whole lacrosse team which is 12 and their friends which was 4 making 16 people who all had lacrosse sticks, I mean they a croake mallets but there is only 4 of them so they are tougher than they look considering I am the only one out of 16 that is not in the hospital. Can you do the math 15 out of 16 lacrosse players are in the hospital due to 4 croake players.” Adam said. The guy looked at us along with the other people in there. “Well damn boys, that’s pretty impressive.” A crossdresser said. “Oh hey Tommie what’s up.” Frank said and I looked at him. “Nothing Frank just in for prostitution.” Tommie said. “Of course yeah as you just heard why I’m in here.” Frank said and then a guy came over and said “Franklin Iero, Raymond Toro, Gerard Way, and Michael Way, you are free to go.” Frank waved and said “Talk to you later Tommie.” “How do you know him?” Ray asked. “Family friend.” he said and Ray just nodded.

When we got out there our mom was out their. “Hello Donna.” Frank said hugging my mom. “Sorry I took so long boys I was at the hospital until your principal called me.” She said walking out to the car. “It’s no problem mom, but you should've seen Mikey, Kyle commented not his hickey and then Mikey whispered something into his ear before bashing him on the head.” Gerard said. “Oh my Mikey that is impressive, what did you say?” My mom asked. “I said ‘I know it’s Gerard specialty.’ He won’t even remember a thing.” I said and they all high-fived me. Once we got home we all sat on the couch. “Well Mr.Spec said you can return to school whenever you want, your absences will be excused for the rest of the year and he also said he hopes you boys feel better.” My mom said. “What?” I asked. “Well you see when we were in high school 100 years or so ago, Lucas a.k.a Mr.Spec, was just like you only he never stuck up for himself. You are his heroes now, plus I think he may be a little scared of you.” She said I nodded. “Well me and Mikey are going down stairs.” Gerard says.

We walk down stairs. We lay on the bed and cuddle, Gerard starts to pet my head. “Hey Mikey remember last year?” Gerard asked and I knew exactly what he was talking about. “Yes.” I say remembering when I tried to kill myself. “I want you to know that, even though Amy cheated on you twice, I think you are perfect and beautiful. I will never cheat on you ever.” Gerard said. I smiled tears started to pour down my face. “I know Gerard, I love you.” I said. “I love you too Mikey.” Gerard said then I fell asleep in Gerard’s arms.
