Emo (My Chemical Romance FanFiction)

Hang Em' High

**Basically I wrote this when I was 12 and I regret it, enjoy**

It was a cold New Jersey morning. Gerard woke up to the sound of rain bashing against the house. Another day to be wasted at school. 

Gerard got up and went to the bathroom where he saw his brother Mikey taking his sweet time getting ready. Gerard grabbed a face cloth, cleansed and dried his face. 

Next he picked up his eyeliner and carefully applied it. Mikey took great care of himself, combing his hair and putting gel in, while Gerard's hair was in a state. Long and black, all tangled up. 

Snatching the comb off the counter, he tried his best to brush it, almost ending the poor combs life. Gerard went to his room and put on his school uniform. 

A white button up shirt with grey pants and a red tie. He was going to get soaked in this rain. Gerard grabbed his bag and a banana to eat on his way to school and set off. 

He lived on quite a busy road and would often see people he attended school with walking to and from. As he stepped out his door he saw a boy that he knew, Frank?

 They shared a few classes and had some things in common. "Hey Gerard!" Waved Frank. "Oh, hi Frank" He waved back. Gerard began walking over to Frank. 

"How's your morning?" Frank questioned. "Usual. School and that shit." Gerard pulled the banana out of his bag and was about to take a bite when Frank giggles. 

Gerard felt a little insecure so he started eating it from the side which made Frank giggle harder. "Dirty." Gerard muttered. Mikey ran out the house to catch up to Gerard and Frank. 

Puffing, he caught up to them. "Hi!" Shouted Mikey with barely any breath left in him. Mikey always thought there was some kind of strange tension between Gerard and Frank. 

They would share sweet glances a lot and be a bit physical but he never actually thought anything of it. Anyways, if the tension was real, they wouldn't show their true feelings, majority of the other boys at school were overly homophobic.

 Frank could hear Gerard softly humming. All 3 of them had an interest in music. Gerard never actually got to express his, apart from a school play back in 4th grade where he played Peter Pan.

 Gerard was introverted and had an interest in makeup and art. This made him subject to bullying. He'd be called homophobic slurs and tripped when walking to and from school on his own. At one point he got tripped and busted his chin on the curb,

 leaving a small blood stain on the cold, grey concerete. Ahead of them they saw a figure. Big, curly hair. It had to be Ray. Ray was sweet and shared seperate classes with all of the boys. 

Ray turned around and spotted them and began waiting for them to catch up to him. "Hi" said all 4 of the boys in unison. 

The boys began talking about all sorts of stuff, comics, bands, then Gerard started talking about how he had always wanted to start his own band. 

Not a typical band, a different band. "I can only really sing. That's not enough." Gerard frowned. "I can play guitar!" Said Frank. "Us too!" Said Mikey and Ray. 

"What about drums?" Questioned Gerard. "We can find somebody." Replied Mikey. "Wait, were actually doing this?" Frank asked. "Fuck yeah!" Said Gerard in an enthusiastic manner. 

The boys arrived at the school gates and looked up with a little shimmer of hope in their eyes.
