-Chapter Title Credits:Animal I Have Become By Three Days Grace-
The boys movie binge was interrupted by the telltale sounds of cabinets opening and closing from the kitchen above.
Gerard groaned as he straightened up, feeling stiff as he climbed off the bed.
He stretched before turning to look at Frank.
"You feeling better?"
Frank simply nodded, not daring to look into Gerards eyes.
Gerard hesitated.
"I-If you know wanna...talk about it yo-"
"No offense but. I don't."Frank muttered hopping off the bed and without another word headed up the stairs.
Gerard slowly followed him up the steps deciding to let it go once again. He'll open up when he's ready.
As soon as Frank opened the basement door, Ms.Way was calling for them to come have dinner.
Gerard looked at Frank, who glanced at him quickly before allowing Gerard to lead the way to the kitchen.
Ms.Way gasped as her oldest son entered the kitchen.
Gerard was confused at first, but quickly realized she hadn't seen the bruises he acquired from school yesterday.
"What happened?"She demanded.
Gerard ignored her and grabbed his plate of food before joining Mikey who had already started eating at the table.
"Do you know what happened?"She pressed turning her gaze to Mikey.
Mikey just shrugged, but as soon as she turned away he shot a sharp look to his older brother.
Frank followed Gerards movements in silently grabbing a plate of food and sitting down at the table next to him.
"Ok....Well then.New subject. Would either of you care to explain to me why you didn't go to school today?"Ms.Way turned to look harshly at Gerard and Frank.
Frank felt a small wave of panic begin to rise in him but Gerard cut his mom off before she could continue any further.
"Frank was feeling sick this morning."
Ms.Way wasn't expecting an answer from Gerard, he never spoke outloud much nowdays, so the sound of his voice made her fall into a momentarily surprised silence.
"Is that true?"She finally asked turning to Frank who nodded timidly.
"I'm sorry Ms.Way, I meant no disrespect. I woke up sick to my stomach. Gerard stayed home to make sure I would be ok."
"Alright...Well there's no point in starting you tomorrow. It's a Friday and if you're ill you should stay home. However. Gerard, you're going to school. You've missed too many days. And you've been taking your meds right?"
Gerard squeezed his eyes shut trying swallow back the sudden rush of emotions.
He hated that she always reminded him of his medication.
He didn't care anymore.
It had already been disposed of.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Friday morning Gerard didn't want to get out of bed.
He had a hard time peeling himsef from the warmth and comfort of his blankets
He got dressed in silence, soft snores coming from the top bunk.
School went by in a daze.
Gerard only got beat up once.
