I'll Never Let Them Hurt You - Frerard -

12.

Gerard's POV

Walking to the car that day felt..different.

Almost as if a weight had be taken of my shoulders by talking to Frank.

I'm in deep thought as I'm walking through the halls back to my car but I'm stopped when I run into someone by accident.

"Sorry," I mutter, not looking up and trying to continue to walk but the stranger doesn't seem to want to move.

"Where are you off to in such a hurry?" they ask.

I look up and see a man with brown hair standing in front of me. He's quite tall, much taller than average and semi-attractive.

"My car?" I say and push past him, walking back in the direction I originally was heading. Why the fuck was he so curious?

I walk out of the school doors and make my way to my car, seeing Mikey in the passenger seat already. I gave him an extra key in case he ever got to the car before me.

I get in the driver side door and I'm met with a glance from Mikey.

"Sorry, I ran into some asshole in the hallway and he was asking me weird ass questions," I say.

"It's alright, I'm more concerned about the tear streaks on your face," he says with an all knowing face.

I sigh. "I told Frank about Lyn-Z and I got a little emotional."

He smirks at that. "You trust Frank enough with that information?"

"Well yeah, I trust Frank with pretty much everything. I care about him a lot..ya know?"

"Oh I do, but does he?"

"I hope so, he does mean the world to me right now," I say.

"Oh really?" A voice says from behind my shoulder.

"AHH WHAT THE FUCK!" I scream turning around and backing up against the dashboard, all while Frank is laughing his ass off in the backseat.

"Really?!" I say. "Mikey you little shit!"

"Hey, yell at him! He's the one who scared you."

"You could've told me he was here before I said all that sappy shit," I complain.

"But I liked hearing it," Frank says with a smirk.

"Not that I don't enjoy your presence, but, why are you in the backseat of my car??"

"Okay don't act like you wouldn't love to be back here with me," He says with a wink.

"Ew, not with me here," Mikey says, scrunching up his nose in disgust.

I blush as Frank continues talking. "I wanted to come to your house to spend some time with you."

"You could've just asked instead of sneaking in my car??"

"I didn't sneak in, Mikey let me in."

I glare at him and he holds his hands up in mock surrender. "What was I supposed to do?! Leave your boyfriend outside to sweat to death?"

I sigh. "Fine, you can come."

"Yay!!" He says excitedly.

I smile at his celebration and turn around in my seat the correct way, putting the car in drive.

-

The ride to the house is normal, we make small talk but nothing too extreme.

I pull into the drive way and turn the car off.

"Okay so if you're gonna have sex please tell me to I can leave this fucking country," Mikey says, getting out of the car and closing the passenger door.

"That's fair, I'm sure Gee's pretty loud," Frank says with a smirk.

"Oh my god- Frank I'm going to strangle you."

"Kinky."

"Jesus, can you guys go two minutes without acting like a white married couple," Mikey says while unlocking our front door and stepping in.

"He started it," I mumble, following close behind Mikey.

We walk into the living room to see my mom and dad in the kitchen having an argument. Which is actually..a very uncommon occurrence, which is why it takes me by surprise.

"Why do you have such a problem with it Donna?! They are who they fucking are and that's final!!"

"It's not normal Donald, I can't keep pretending I'm okay with this shit!! I'm sending them somewhere!"

"To where?! An all boys school?? You think that'll solve shit?! They were born that way and nothing can change that. Why can't you fucking accept that?!"

"Because it's not right Donald! I can't handle this anymore!"

"Fucking leave then!!"

Silence. Deafening fucking silence. I couldn't believe my ears.

"..What?"

"You fucking heard me. If you can't love our children for who they are, then go."

"But..we're meant to be together..you can't walk out on me!!"

"I'm not. I'm kicking you out."

"Donald you can't fucking do this."

"Watch me bitch."

I watch my mothers jaw drop in awe as she grabs her purse and walks out the back door.

It's only then that our dad turns around and see's us standing there in front of the door.

"Boys...I'm so sorry you had to hear that," he said, tears welling up in his eyes.

"I didn't want you to know."

All I can feel is Frank hugging me. He's running his fingers through my hair in a soothing manner.

Nobody says anything for a couple seconds until my dad speaks up.

"Your mother forced her opinion on me." Is what he decides to say.

"She told me it wasn't natural. That one day you guys would change. I was fed up with her bullshit. I know this will be hard for you two, and I'm sorry this had to happen. But I couldn't stand her judging demeanor anymore. I love you guys okay? For who you are."

I pull away from Frank and turn to look at my dad.

I don't say anything as I walk up to him and hug him, feeling Mikey doing the same.

"I-I'm glad" I say when I pull away from the hug, wiping away the tear streaks on my face.

"Because this is Frank...my boyfriend."

"Hi," he says with a little awkward wave.

My dad walks up to him and holds out his hand.

"Donald."
