Boarding School for the Broken (Frerard/MCR)

5

The next morning was....awkward.

I wake up, in Gerard's bed again. But this time, it's just me. Turns out Gerard went out again. Wonderful.

You know, you'd think the whole screaming match would have thought him something.

I sigh, standing and pushing my hand through my hair. I stumble over to the mirror. God, I look disgusting.

My hair is sticking up all over the place. Stupid fucking shirt is twisted around me all weird. Instead of struggling with untangling it, I just pull it off.

Well great. Bruises and cuts. Fucking Bryar.

I walk over to my dresser and open it. Shirts...shirts.... Oh okay I'll just wear this. Can't go wrong with a Black Flag shirt.

I change into a different pair of black jeans, because I have so much varied clothing.

I stumble down the hall, getting shouldered around by my peers. Ugh, School.

I slump down in my seat, laying my head on the desk. God damn, I'm fucking tired. Science is easy. I'm sleeping through this shit.

~Skip to lunch~

Ray waves me over. I nod to him and grab a tray of food and hurry over. Mikey smiles at me, Gerard keeps his head down.

I sit beside Mikey, across from Ray.

" Hey Frank. " Mikey says as I adjust my food. I nod, sighing.

" God Damn, another fucking day of this shitty place and I'm going to kill myself." I grumble into my sandwich. Ray snorts.

" Same." Ray laughs, shovelling food into his mouth. I cough, seeing if Gerard'll even look up. Nope.

Wait, I think he's sleeping.

" Oi, Gerard." Mikey says, prodding Gerard with the wrong end of his fork. Gerard jerks his head up with a cough.

" What?" He slurs as Bob walks up. Fucking Bob. Bob Bryar.

" Hey um... Can I sit here?" He mumbles, shuffling his feet. I sit there like an idiot. Just fucking gawking at him like a fish. Mikey shrunk back beside Gerard and hid behind him.

" Y-Yeah, I guess." Ray stammers. Bob sat down, his eyes focused on his food. I glare at the back of his head.

" I em....I'm a horrible person. I want to apologise. The things I said to you were n-not okay and I am so so so sorry." He murmurs. I make a rather choked noise, or a gag but yeah.

" E-Excuse me?" I blurt. Bob looks up, his eyes rather red and dark. Fuck that's a black eye.

" I'm sorry. I o-only beat you a-and said that stuff b-because I was frustrated. I d-didn't know how to deal with all that...what I did was directed towards myself. I'm gay. I'm such an asshole I know you shouldn't forgive me bu-"

" It's okay." I cut him off softly, not believing my own words. Well that caught everybody's attention. Even Gerard looks up. I take a deep breath, looking at his disbelieving face.

" I f-forgive you. I know figuring it out is rather difficult and you n-needed help." I stammer, Bob's eyes light up.

" Oh my God! Thank you so much In

cannot believe you even let me sit here I, I really just wow." Bob gasps. I grin weakly at him and Ray divulges into a conversation with him, asking the usual ' Who is it? Are you sure?" Questions.

Gerard's peering at me with dark circles under his eyes and, pale tearstained cheeks. I blink at him, glaring at him with cold eyes. He sighs shakily, dropping his head foreword onto the table. I grit my teeth and look away.
