Save yourself and I'll hold them back tonight

Frank's pow

"Well, there you are, you little punk." Oh no. My mum smelled of alcohol and cigarettes.  "You know what?" She snorted and laughed. "Your stupid and hopeless father left!" She threw a bottle on the floor. 

I was confused, but not really surprised. My parents had problems since i remember and that's all there ever was. Fighting, screaming and of course one had to snap. Not that i cared really. My mum wasn't really dangerous, just ignorant and pathetic. 

She passed out and i placed her on the couch. I was a little worried though, she couldn't loose her job. It was already hard before, but now dad left...

I ran to my bedroom and slammed the door. I collapsed on the bed and texted Gee. I miss him already. I decided not to tell him yet. He should found about my dad in person. 

He called me Frankie. Frankie. I giggled. Well if i'm Frankie, than he is Gee. But i already call him like that so i decided he is MY Gee. I guess i'm a little protective. Just a little bit.

I can't believe it's Monday already. I slept through most of the Sunday and now it's gone. At least i get to see Gee. I smiled. Maybe Mondays are not that bad. 

"Hey!" I saw him standing by the gates. He grinned and waved me. I rushed closer and hugged him. He stiffened a bit and pulled away. "What's wrong?"I questioned. "It's just..." he ran his hand through his hair. "I don't want to tell people about...you know," he shrugged. 

"Yeah, i agree. Not that i'm ashamed of you or anything but there are some serious homophobes here and well...i don't want your father to know about this." He smiled and relaxed, his expression turned to relief. "I'm glad you get it, Frankie." He winked me and i smiled.

I really really liked that nickname, especially when he said it.

"Good morning class! I have to announce something." I looked at Gee and rolled my eyes. Probably some stupid competition. "We have a new student here, come on Bert, don't be shy." My mouth opened and i gazed at the new guy. He was tall, with longish brown hair. He wore skinny black jeans and a leather jacket. He swayed his hips while he was walking and he glanced at us. 

His eyes immediately locked on Gee. He smirked and looked down. I was getting angry. He's a lot of things, but definitely not shy. 

He sat on the others side of the room, quickly turning his head, glancing to Gee again. He noticed and starred back at him, raising an eyebrow in confusion. That Bert guy just checked him up and down slowly, licking his lips. He met his eyes and i could practically see the lust in his. Gee blushed dark shades of red and turned to me. I was heating up from anger. Bert noticed and turned his stare to me. I gave him a death glare, but he only smirked wider.

This was getting really annoying. If he won't learn his place i'd beat him up. "Are you alright?" Gee asked me with worry on his face. "Yes, it's just that guy. I hate how he's starring at you."

We came to cafeteria and started rambling about some school stuff with Mikey and Ray, when suddenly. Bert sat beside Gee leaning closely and locking his eyes with Gee's. "You have a boyfriend?" He asked with a needy voice. "N-no," Gerard stuttered blushing. "Good," he mumbled, before slipping his number on a paper in the back pockets of his jeans. Gee blushed even deeper and open his mouth in a surprise. Bert only glanced down, biting his lip.

Before anyone realised what has just happened, he was already gone.

I threw my sandwich on the table in anger. Mikey and Ray were just really confused. "The new guy?" Mikey asked Gerard. He only manage to nodd. "I'll beat him up..." Gee turned his face to me and took the small paper out of his pocket. He thorn it to pieces and throw it in water.

I furiously looked at him, while massaging my knuckles. Gee looked at me shyly and placed his hand on top of mine. "Hey, he'll stop when he sees i'm not going to give him anything." He gave me a reassuring smile and i nodded. He managed to calm me down a bit. 

I had to go to class, Gee was already finished. "I'll wait you by the gates, okay?" I agreed, annoyed. He frowned. "Don't you trust me?" "With my life," i smiled, "it's him i don't trust," my face turned dark again. He smiled and squeezed my hand. 

I ran to class and spent the whole time looking at the clock. It's so slow, when you want it to be fast. Finally the bell rang and i rushed outside. I gazed at the gates. Nobody was there. I felt my stomach tightened. Where the hell is he?! I walked a bit, glancing to every direction, when i spotted him.

What the fuck?? Gerard was pressed to the wall by one and only Bert, towering above him. He had his hands placed on the wall beside him,  preventing his escape. Gerard was panicking, trying to find his way out of this. 

I don't know what exactly happened. I just now i rushed towards them. Gee spotted me, " Frank, don't!" But i didn't care.

I pushed that pervert away. He stumbled back and looked at me with a surprise. "How dare you touch my boyfriend!" I screamed and kicked him in the crotch. He was quiet taller than me, but he gasped at my kick and arched his back. "You pervert!" I punched his face and he collapsed on the floor. "Harassing my Gee!" I kicked again, this time hitting his stomach. 

I probably screamed to loud, because in the next moment, the teacher came and pulled me away. I got suspended, but i couldn't care less.

I pulled Gee's arm and stormed off the school property towards his house.

"That was the nicest thing anybody has ever done for me," Gee whispered and hugged me. "But, you shouldn't," he pulled away. "What if he comes after you?" His eyes filled with tears, "what if he hurts you, because of me?" I hugged him, "hey, shhh, I'm perfectly fine and he's a wimp. Plus, i won't be coming to school tomorrow." He kissed my cheek, " and neither will i." 

He blushed. "You called me your boyfriend." I turned my head down, "yeah... i-i understand it's not..." I was cut off by him, kissing me softly. He smiled into the kiss and i hugged his waist, pulling him closer. "I love it," he whispered in my ear.

I went back home feeling that familiar weight on my chest. I haven't told him about my father yet. And that Bert is maybe scared now, but god knows what will happen. 

I smiled, but i have a boyfriend now. And i entered my house, feeling a little better.
