Love Lies Bleeding || gerard way

Prologue

"Watch it, loser." A jock said as he walked past, pushing me on my ass. I frowned and winced as I used my broken arm to lift myself up. You might have thought that they would cut me some slack because of my arm but no, they were just as abusive as usual.

Let me tell you about myself. My name is Helena Black. Im 16 years old and I live in New Jersey. Im 5'7, I have long purple hair and I wear alot of black. I goto a regular public school and its a living Hell.

I get bullied by almost everyone, im in the middle of Junior year and everybody hates me. I have no friends atall except for my younger brother, hes the only person that can keep me from going over the edge.

I stand up and brush myself off with my good hand and return to opening my locker. I put my hood up and put in my locker code and grabbed out my textbooks for next lesson.

I put my head down and watch the floor as I walk. I turn the corner and I feel my body collide with someone else. I fly backwards landing on my ass and my textbooks fly everywhere.

"Fucking watch it you emo freak!" My eyes widen. Oh shit. I look up to see a very angry Gerard Way. Gerard and I have known eachother for a long time. We used to be best friends up until we got to highschool. He ditched me and started hanging around with the jocks and the cheerleaders. He stopped talking to me and went along with my bullies.

I stared at Gerard for a while. His jaw was chiseled and his face was sculpyed perfectly. His fiery bright red hair hung down his faces in all the right places and his hazel eyes matched with everything, the red in his hair making them brighter.

"Stop staring at me you freak!" He kicked my in the side as he walked away. His kicks were always softer than the others but it was still another person that enjoyed abusing me.

I got up again and quickly scurried to my english class. I always ended up getting to class early so this was kinda my safe haven.

"Good morning Helena!" Mrs Hale, my music teacher said chirpily. I smiled at her and put my head down to my notebook. I wrote songs in here, mostly about humanity, I had a song called Teenagers in here and its probably the most human song ive written, its so relatable.

The bell rang and my heart quickened, I quickly put my notebook away and put my backpack in between my legs so no one would take it. Everyobe started filing in and I kept my eyes to the floor so I wouldnt accidentally make eye contact with any of them. I looked at everyones shoes and sighed in relief. Gerard and the other jocks must be skipping today. Well thats what I thought. Until they walked in the door laughing.

"Great..." I mumbled as Gerard and Ryan, his friend. Took the seats behind me. I only usually sat here because nobody would sit behind me. I shouldve totally sat back there instead.

Throughout the class I felt paper being thrown at me, spit balls and every other classroom item being thrown at me.

"Excuse me! Attention class. There will be a project as per usual. This year its a song writing task." Mes Hale started out and I got unusually excited. I love song writing.

"You will be paired up," Well there goes my hopes and dreams. "And you will have to write a song about one another." I looked around the room.

I imagined every single song would go along the lines of.

"Shes a freak. Shes an emo freak. Oooo emo freakkkkk." I scowled and focused back in Mrs Hale.

"Here are the pairings: Sarah and Ryan

Ray and Georgia
Frank and Sophie
Bob and Melody
Matt and Rilee

The list went on and on and I zoned out, occasionally zoning in.

"And Gerard and Helena..."She snapped her clipboard shut and my eyes widened. Me and Gerard? Oh for fucks sake... I heard him pull his chair over and a presense next to me.

"Hey emo freak." He whispered. I put my hair to the sides of my face so I couldnt see him.

"Freak? Whats up?" His words stung even after all this time. Who once used to be my best friend now despised me.

I got up from my chair and grabbed my back and went to run out of the classroom when someone put their foot out and I went flying.

I landed with an oof and my chest went tight. My eyes widened and a seering pain shot through my chest as I breathed.

"Oh fuck..." I said as the pain just got worse. I got onto my knees and Mrs Hale came over to me.

"Helena! Helana?! Whats wrong!?" She said, sounding panicky.

"Tripped....Broken...Pacemaker...." I managed to get out. I had third degree heart block and I need a pacemaker to survive. Im not supposed to fall or get hit anywhere near my chest, so to fall flat ive definately broken my pacemaker.

"Oh no..." She said, every teacher knew about my condition. "The roads are blocked off no one can drive you." She looked confused until her face glowed and she smiled.

"Gerard!" She called. I heard footsteps. She was not about to do what I think she is....

"Can you carry Helena to the hospital? The roads are all blocked off and youre the strongest in the class." He didnt say anything, I just felt myself being picked up and carried out of the classroom.

I tried to breathe again but just ended up screaming extremely loudly into Gerards chest. I gripped onto his shirt and cried into it. Crying wasnt making it any better because it hurt when I did everything. With that, Gerard broke into a run and ran out of the school with me in his arms.

"You know. Youre really light." He said, weird. No emo or freak remark. I couldnt answer because the pain was becoming to much. I went limp and passed out in Gerards arms.

I felt dead. But I couldnt be, could I?
