Frerard's Daughter

Better Left Alone

Age: 3 years
Hard Time Pronouncing: 'L'

It was my first day of Pre-K and Frank was dropping me off. I was so happy and excited but the second we arrived at the school, I wanted to go home. I watched kids that looked a lot bigger than me run around like crazy on the playground. I was relatively small so everyone was bigger than me. Frank pulled into the parking lot and parked.

"Umm, daddy?" I asked.
"Yes princess?"
"I d-dont feel wike going anymore."
"Why not baby? You were so excited this morning."
I shrugged my shoulders and looked down as Frank got out the car. He walked around to my side and opened the door. He was about to unbuckle my booster seat but I covered the buckle.

"Hey." He said softly.
I looked up at him.
"What's going on? You were so happy earlier."
"They wook really big daddy. What if I get hurt and what if nobody wikes me?"
"Of course they'll like you. You're the best little girl in the world. They'll love you. But not as much as I do."

He started tickling me and kissing me. I thrashed and giggled in my seat as he stopped and started to unbuckle me. We walked inside and met my teacher, Mrs. Blue. She was a tall lady and she looked extremely happy to see me. I hugged and kissed Frank goodbye then Mrs. Blue took me out with the rest of the children.

Everyone was running around like crazy, making me more nervous. I looked over and saw Frank's car pull out of the parking lot and started to drive away.

"Daddy! No! Wait for me!" I screamed.

I ran to the fence near the parking lot as fast as my small legs would carry me. But I accidentally bumped into some kids and fell down. These kids were a lot bigger than me, they looked about 6 years old. I was so scared.

"Watch where you're going, stupid!" A little boy said.
"I'm not stupid! I was trying to get to my Daddy!"
"Yes you are! You can't get to them anyway, there's a fence dummy!" A little girl said.

I started to tear up. I stood back up and wiped the leaves and dirt off the back of my dress.

"I'm not a dummy! You're a dummy! I'm gonna tell my Daddies on you and they're gonna kick your butt!" I stomped.
"Daddies? You really are stupid! You only have one Daddy!"
"No! I have 2 Daddies and they're both gonna beat you up!"
"You're a weirdo!"
"No I'm not! One of my daddies has wong bwack hair and the other one has wong red hair!"

They started laughing at me. The little boy pushed me on the ground and they continued to call me stupid and a dummy. I got back up and ran away. I hid behind one of the trees off to the side of the playgrounds and cried to myself.

20 minutes later, I heard Mrs. Blue telling everyone to line up but I didn't want to go. I was all alone, my feelings were hurt and I missed my Daddies.

Meanwhile inside the class, Mrs. Blue was teaching a lesson. She was asking for an answer and looked around the classroom for me to give me a chance. When she didn't see me, she mentally panicked.

"Where's (y/n)? Did anybody see her?" She asked frantic.
"She ran away!" The boy who bullied me said.
"What? Why? Did you see where she went?"
"No. She's a crybaby!"
"And she's stupid!" The little girl said.
"Stupid is a very bad word. Don't say that anymore." Mrs. Blue said.
"But she is! She said she has 2 Daddies instead of one."

Mrs. Blue ran to her desk and called Frank and Gerard to come to the school because they couldn't find me.
"You can't what!?" Gerard yelled over the phone
Gerard got Frank and drove as fast as he could knowing they can't find his baby. When they got there they burst into the classroom frantically.

"Did you find her? Where's my baby girl?!" Gerard asked.
The little boy and girl looked at each other shocked.
"Not yet. We're still looking. We're hoping she got lost in the building." Mrs. Blue said.
"Where'd you last see her?" Frank asked frantically.
"The playground. But she just disappeared."
"She ran away cuz she's a stupid crybaby." The little boy said.
Frank looked at him and squinted.
"Maybe you're a stupid crybaby." Frank said angrily.
"Don't you ever talk like that about my daughter again." Gerard said.

Gerard pulled Frank outside to look for me. They checked under and behind every slide and jungle gym but couldn't find me. They saw something move behind a group of 8 trees and they ran towards them. Behind the 5th tree, they found me crying into my knees.

"(Y/n) there you are!" Frank said happily.
"No! Weave me alone, I only want my daddies!"
Frank and Gerard looked at each other confused. Gerard squatted to get closer to my height.

"Princess it's daddy." Gerard said.
I looked up and smiled. I lifted my arms and Gerard quickly picked me up. They both hugged me tightly.
"Sugar please, don't do that to us ever again." Gerard said.
"You scared us, princess. Why did you run away from the class?" Frank asked.
"Cuz a wittle boy and girl called me stupid and a dummy."
"Why?" Frank asked.
"Cuz I have 2 Daddies. They even pushed me on the fwoor."

Frank and Gerard looked at each other, biting their lips. Frank took me from him.
"It's okay, sugar. It's not your fault." Gerard said.
"They were being buttheads." I pouted.
"Yes they were." Gerard said.
"Did you beat them up daddy?"
"Yes princess. I did." Frank said.
"If you don't wanna go to school tomorrow we don't have to." Frank said.

I shook my head violently. They kissed my cheeks and walked me back to the car.
