Delinquents | Gerard Way ✔️

N I N E T E E N

A soft warning for this chapter. I don't think Bert McCraken is as bad as I'm making him so far, not at all. In this chapter, he is going to be way worse. Incest in this chapter will be mentioned, but not pursued.

  "Are you still talking to that Geetard kid?" Bert asked. A week had passed since Athen and Gerard had gotten back together, but he didn't know. He would never approve. She didn't even have the guts to take a pregnancy test, not wanting to be slaughtered.

  "Gerard, and no. You'd kill me if I were." Athena muttered. Bert laughed and stood, highly intoxicated. He had been binge drinking all day, and wouldn't let Athena go anywhere. 

  "Damn straight!" He pulled Athena up by her blue hair, slamming her to the wall. "Unlike you." He pulled on her hair harder, causing her to cry out. "Y'know, I haven't seen a girl in the nude for a while." He purred, running a hand up her shirt. Athena's eyes widened, and she kicked him.

  "Don't touch me!" She shouted and ran to her room, slamming and locking the door behind her. She grabbed her phone and checked the time. 11:56 pm. She couldn't call Gerard or Frank, they had just made up and were hanging out together. She couldn't ruin it. That left Ray, who would most likely be asleep. She quickly called him, tears streaming down her cheeks.

  "Hello?" Ray answered on the third ring. Athena went to speak, but a sob fell from her lips instead. "Shit, I'll be there in ten minutes. Just hang in there tight, kid." He said, hanging up. He knew the drill by that point. Athena would call, and he would know to come to her aid. Athena quickly grabbed a bag, throwing things that she would need to stay the night at Ray's inside. She paced around the room until she head him beep. She grabbed her phone and bag, sneaking out through her window and racing to his car. As soon as she was inside, he drove off.

  Once they were far enough away, he pulled into a parking lot and unbuckled, hugging her. "Baby, what happened?" He whispered. 

  "My father, he was drunk. He started touching me and... I managed to get away." She whispered. "I also might be pregnant." She whispered, voice wavering. Ray's eyes widened, but he continued to comfort her. "I definitely am."

  "You need to tell Gerard." He whispered softly. Athena's sniffled.

 "I know, Ray. I'm pregnant, not stupid. I told him and his father is pissed. I'm scared, y'know?" She looked up at Ray. Ray nodded, sighing softly.

  "Yeah, I know. Do you want me to take you to his place for the night? You can sneak in." He asked. Athena nodded.

  "Please. Please do." She whispered. "Do you mind if I get changed?" She looked at him. Ray shook his head.

  "That's fine. Go ahead." He smiled. Athena nodded and stripped herself out of her shirt and jeans, replacing them with her pajamas. "We'll stop to get you another pregnancy test to see if the first was accurate."

Once they got to Gerard's, Athena kissed Ray's cheek and climbed out of the car, sneaking in through his window. Gerard looked at her, and as surprised as he was, he stood from his bed and engulfed her in a hug. 

  "I'm so scared." She whispered into his shoulder. Gerard nodded.

  "Me too, baby. Me too." He whispered, kissing her head. As they were pulling away and sitting on the foot of his bed, Mikey walked in.
