Frank's POV
When I finally break out of the trance is when the bell rings, I had practically spaced out the entire class.
"Dude, why'd you even come to class if you were just gonna space out the whole time?" Andy asks jokingly, picking up his school bag.
"I don't know man, I'm just in a weird place at the moment," I answer honestly. I haven't even taken a step back to figure out how I feel about my life at the moment. My best friend almost fucking died, someone knows about my secret relationship with my boyfriend, and my boyfriend's absolute best friend just gave birth to an actual child. Like, damn, that's a lot.
"You wanna talk about it sometime? We're always here," Chris says reassuringly. "I know we don't really know each other, but I'm willing to help anyone who needs it."
"Maybe, I'm not sure. I'll get back to you on that," I say with a small smile, walking out of the classroom.
As I'm walking through the hallways I'm looking around absolutely paranoid. Someone knows about Gerard and me. And someone spread the news.
I walk around the halls, pleading that I find Gerard somewhere so I can talk to him about this.
Luckily, I find him. He's walking with Mikey, and they're talking about god knows what. I decide to interrupt.
"Hey, uhm, sorry for interrupting but Gee, can I talk to you for a second? Alone?" I ask, very frantically.
He immediately looks concerned. "Frankie slow down, is everything okay?"
"Yeah, yeah. Everything is fine but I need to talk to you, like right now. Sorry, Mikey-" I apologize before grabbing Gerard's wrist and dragging him into the janitor's closet before locking the door behind us.
"You tryna make out or something?" Gerard asks jokingly, obviously trying to ease the semi-awkward tension.
"Gerard this is serious," I say, making his smile drop and making him immediately shut up.
"Someone knows."
"Someone knows what?" He questions, not exactly sure where I'm going with this.
"Someone knows we're dating," I say simply, trying to hold back tears.
"Oh shit," he says, immediately pulling me in for a hug. "Who knows?"
"I don't know who it is. Someone messaged me on Instagram and they knew. And who knows how many people they told. I didn't wanna come out this way Gee, I'm not ready-" I say, being cut off by Gerard's voice.
"Hey hey, I need you to listen baby. Can you give me your phone? I want to see if I know the person," he asks slowly, giving me time to pull away from him and wipe away my tears before handing him my phone.
He takes my phone and opens Instagram, his face immediately dropping upon seeing the message.
He looks up at me very quickly.
"Frank. How do you know this person?" He asks, I can tell he's trying to keep his voice steady.
"I don't know him," I answer simply. "He messaged me first, and I didn't wanna be rude so I responded. You can look at the messages if you want, that's all you'll see."
He immediately does so, scrolling all the way up and reading through the texts.
What confused me was why he made the face that he did when he saw the name. Maybe he knows this person? But I doubt it.
"Frank I need you to listen to me and listen to me carefully. The person who messaged you is Bert McCracken. Bert is my ex-boyfriend who emotionally and physically abused me. He's the person who made me hesitant about sex. Please don't trust anything he says. He's trying to ruin the relationship that we have," Gerard explains, and I can see tears starting to form in his eyes. And now it was my turn to hug him.
"Oh Gee, I didn't know-"
"I know you didn't. I'm not blaming you. But I know what he's doing. He's trying to turn you against me and make you leave me because I got him in trouble. He told me he'd get his revenge someday, but I blew it off. I need you to tell me that you won't respond to him, pretty please promise me?" He says, his eyes watering.
"Yeah, of course, Gerard, I trust you with my whole heart," I say, hugging him.
"I don't know how he knows we're dating, but I need you to stay calm about it okay? He doesn't go to our school, nor does he know anyone who does. Nobody here knows about us, you're not out of the closet, everything will be okay," he reassures, hugging me close.
"I'm really sorry to spring this upon you right now, I know you were just trying to talk with Mikey and I interrupted, I'm sorry about that-"
"Oh my god Frank, it's okay," Gee says with a laugh. "You were scared and were about to break down. I'm glad you found me, I would never want you going through something like this on your own. Mikey can wait as long as it takes until you feel better," he reassures.
"Thank you, Gee, you really don't know how amazing you are. You're always here for me when I need you, I don't think you realize how important you actually are to me."
"Aww Frankie, that's so cute. I know that you appreciate me, though. You don't even have to say anything, I just see it in your eyes when you look at me."
I can feel myself blushing as I rest my head on his shoulder.
"You didn't have to say that," I mumble.
"Oh, but I did. Don't worry, I like it. It's actually really cute, I've never had anyone look at me the way that you do before. But, I like it. "
"Well, Gerard Way, I pledge to look at you like that for the rest of my goddamn life, and I don't take criticism," I say with a smile.
"Well, Franklin Iero, I, Gerard Way, pledge to do the same."
