Delinquents | Gerard Way ✔️

T H I R T E E N

  Athena nervously walked into the school after almost a month of being absent. Her new uniform was a bit tight around the top, but she appreciated Frank getting it for her.

  As soon as she walked in she got weird looks and glares from everyone. She kept her head down and her arms crossed. The bandaging was still on her arm, covering the now scabbed over scars.  She assumed that she was getting looks because she got off easy. She was out for a month and she was all caught up with her work, which is complicated to do.

"Hey, hon." Frank said as she walked over to him. She molded her body into his side, trying to hide her face from everyone's stares. It was obvious Athena hated the attention from everyone.

"Why's everyone staring, Frank?" She asked, pushing herself against him harder. Her anxiety had started to build to moment she walked into the school, but it had almost reached the point of an attack. An attack meant that she would have to leave the school early, and she didn't want to.

"Hey. You're alright. It's nothing." He said, pulling back and looking into her eyes. She nodded trying to clear the tears that had started to build in her eyes. He wasn't lying, he had no idea that she was even getting looks.

A group popular girls walked over to her, giggling the entire time. As the "leader" of the group, Vanessa, stopped in front of her her anxiety began to climb again.

"Is it true you had an abortion?" She asked, getting close to Athena's face. Athena's eyebrows furrowed, taking in the information.

"What? No, who told you that?" She asked, rushing the words out. Vanessa snickered and looked back at her small group.

"Your boyfriend did. You know, Floris." She said looking toward him with his arm draped around another girl. Athena gasped then pushed past Vanessa heading over to Floris.

"Floris! What the fuck?!" Athena yelled, pushing his large form back. He stumbled slightly then regained his stance. He rushed forward, pushing Athena back.

"What's your problem?" He yelled. Tears began to form in her eyes at his harsh tone and the way his hands were flying, pushing her when he was close enough.

"Why would you tell people I got a fucking abortion?" Athena yelled, her small voice filling the space. The others around then started to make a circle around the two, wanting to know what would happen next.

"Because you did." He said, leaning on the heels of his feet. A small smirk found it's way to his lips as his tounge started to dart around his lips.

"No I didn't! What wrong with you?" She yelled. Her hands had began shaking and her heart was beating faster than it should even when she was angry or having a panic attack.

"What's wrong with me? You should ask yourself the sane question. Killing a baby, our baby." Floris said, feigning hurt. Tears began pouring from Athena's eyes. She stepped forward slapping Floris hard. A bruise had already started to form when she pulled her hand back and hit him again.

  "We didn't have a fucking baby. I was a virgin when I was with you- Well, until you forced me into it! You made me scared to do it with a nice guy!" She shouted. She had stopped hitting Floris and taken a step back. He looked up at her, glaring harshly.

  "What do you mean 'was'. Are you saying you aren't a fucking virgin anymore? You've fucked someone else?" He said, standing and walked dangerously close. Athena couldn't back up any farther due to the wall of kids surrounding them.

  "No. I'm not a virgin anymore, and you weren't the one to take my virginity away." She said, turning and pushing through the wall of kids to return to Frank. He had been trying to get through the kids and to Athena as soon as they started to gather around.

   "I just need to leave." She said, burying her face into his chest and taking his scent in. He was a mix of must and axe spray. It was calming her down quickly and effectively.

  "Alright." He said, dragging her to the corner of the room where he could block her from everyone else's view. His tactics continued to calm her, holding her close. Soon she was fully calmed down, her breathing was at a normal pace and her hands had stopped shaking though they were beginning to get sore from coming in contact with Floris' face.

  As soon as Frank noticed she had calmed down he marched over to Floris. He took Floris' shirt by the collar and slammed his fist into his cheek, causing him to fall. Frank glared down at him as Floris started laughing, not even wincing. He was used to it.

  "I bet you're the one she lost her virginity to." Floris spat, laughing. Blood tricked from his lip, he had split it when Frank had punched him. "I bet you used her just like I did. She's not worth it, man. You know that, I know that. Everyone knows that. Stop acting like it isn't true."

  "You wish, fucking prick." Frank spat, kicking him in the side before returning to Athena. She wrapped her arms around Frank's waist, he put his hand on the back of her head in return.

  "Thank you, Frank." She said, feeling safe with him. He chuckled and rubbed down her back before returning his hand to her head.

"You're welcome kid." He said, still lightly laughing. After Frank had punched Floris, Athena thought that the rumors would stop. But they didn't, and they would affect her relationship with Gerard. Part of her knew this, but she refused to believe it. She refused to believe that her and Gerard's relationship was so weak that it could be affected by this, but their love was new. And new meant weak. And Gerard didn't even know yet.
