Delinquents | Gerard Way ✔️

E L E V E N

Waking up in Gerard's arms felt amazing. Athena's eyelids were heavy as she slowly stirred awake. She was greeted by warmth from Gerard. His arms were around her, mouth open, and hair in his face.

But something didn't feel right.

It didn't click until the door opened.

  "Athena, what the hell?!" Athena's breath hitched and she looked up, her eyes meeting with Frank's. She shrunk back, covering herself with as much of the blanket as she could.

  "Wait in the dining room." She mumbled. Frank huffed and walked out. Athena squirmed out of Gerard's arms and stood. She quickly threw on her t-shirt and pajama shorts. She kissed Gerard's head before leaving the room.

She walked into the kitchen and made herself a cup of coffee. She walked into the dining room and sat across from Frank at the table.

"You slept with him?" He rose a brow. Athena sighed, taking a sip of her coffee.

"Yeah. He was gentle, though. And he..." Athena couldn't help but to smile. "He told me he loved me." She giggled. Frank shook his head. He could believe that she actually trusted him.

Athena. He wasn't a virgin before he met you. He uses girls for sex. Just don't do it again, okay? He doesn't love you." He said. Athena opened her mouth to argue, but Gerard walked in. He was shirtless, but had pajama pants on.

"Hey babe." He mumbled, leaning down and kissing her neck softly. "How long did we sleep for?" He asked, playing with her hair. Frank watched carefully.

"Just a few hours. It's about five in the afternoon now." She kissed him before drinking her coffee. Frank sighed.

"I brought over your guys' work. It's on couch with your new uniform." He looked at her wrists. Gerard looked at Athena, rubbing her back soothingly.

"We have to change your bandages soon." He mumbled. Frank looked at him.

"How long was she unconscious?" He asked. Gerard sighed.

"Three to four days. She gets the stitches out in a week." He said, an arm around Athena protectively. Frank stood, kissing Athena's forehead.

"I'll be back tomorrow. My mom needs me home right now. I love you." He smiled. Athena giggled and cuddled into Gerard.

"I love you too." She mumbled. Frank left, but his words were stuck in he head. What if he was right? What if Gerard was using her?

"Are you okay, boo?" Gerard asked, noticing Athena was staring into her coffee cup.

"Yeah. Just tired." She stood. "Lets change my bandages." She smiled at him before walking to the bathroom.

She sat on the counter, and Gerard changed her bandages. Athena kept her head down, Frank's words repeating.

He uses girls.
He doesn't love you.
He wasn't a virgin when he met you.

The words stung. Athena was too nervous to say anything to Gerard. What if it wad true?

"Athena." Athena looked up. Gerard sighed. "What's wrong?" He asked. "You're crying." He mumbled. Athena shook her head, wiping her teary eyes.

"I'm fine." She puffed out her cheeks. "Am I... Erm... Your girlfriend?" She asked. Gerard smiled and lifted her off the counter, spinning her. He pressed his lips to hers.

"Now you are." He smiled. Athena laughed and wrapped her arms and legs around him, nuzzling her face into her neck. "I mean, I did say I love you." He winked at her. "I'm going to make dinner." He set her down. Athena ran into the kitchen and sat on the counter. Gerard laughed and followed. He smirked, placing his hands on her hips as he started kissing her neck.

Athena thought about Frank again. Tears started brimming her eyes and quickly started streaming down her cheeks. Gerard looked at her. "Athena?" He loosened his grip on her hips. "Athena. Whats wrong?" Gerard asked her, his hands now holding her waist. She sighed, lying her her head on his shoulder. Frank's words had still been swimming around in her head. Gerard sighed, running his fingers through her hair.

"Promise me you love me." Athena finally managed. "Promise me that you won't use me or leave me like Floris did. Or that you won't hurt me like my dad does." She whispered, shaking. Gerard pressed his lips to her forehead.

"I promise... Did Frank say something to you?" He whispered, pulling back to look in her eyes. She nodded, a sigh escaping her lips. "What did he say?"

Athena shook her head and squeezed her eyes shut to hold the tears in. He ran his fingers through her hair again before wiping the few tears that had escaped her eyes.

"What did he say, Athena?" He asked her one more time. There was a hint of desperation in his voice, mixed with hints of anger and sadness. Athena sighed once again, opening her eyes. She looked at him, still upset.

"He said you were using me. You were only using me for sex... you don't really love me." She said, finally cracking. Tears rolled down her cheeks, falling on her legs when they fell off her face.

Athena saw Gerard's jaw tighten and felt his hands ball into fists. As she stared into his eyes flashes of anger courses through them. Athena sighed and put her head down, bringing her hands to her slightly puffed up eyes.

"It's not true." He said, pushing back from the counter. He was lying, and she knew it. She knew he had slept with other girls, but maybe, just maybe he cared about her. He opened her fridge and looked in before looking back to her. "Now. What do you want for dinner?" He asked.

She sat and shrugged. She couldn't comprehend what had just happened. He shut the fridge softly before turning back to her.

"You have nothing to eat here. Let's go to my house." He said. She shrugged and hopped down from the counter. She walked to her room, grabbing a pair of skinny jeans and t-shirt. "What're you doing?" Gerard asked, following behind her.

"Changing. I can't go to your house looking like this." Athena responded. She slowly removed her shorts and replaced them with the tight jeans. She then replaced the shirt she had been currently wearing with the one she had grabbed.

Gerard stood, watching her change but turned as soon as she looked at him. She gasped, hitting him as soon as she got close enough.

"You fucking perv." She said. Her saddened mood had quickly changed to a happy, upbeat one. He laughed and pecked her lips. She pushed his chest and walked past him to grab her shoes.

"It's nothing I haven't seen before."
