Students Are Off Limits, Mr. Iero (Frerard TeacherxStudent)

Chapter 16: We Need To Talk~

*2 Weeks Later~*

 

(Gerard's P.O.V.~)

After leaving their house, I was still feeling a little unsure. I mean Pete's right, Frank and I are rushing...I've been avoiding him for a week, and I know that's not a good thing to do...But I have no idea what I should do. I mean, I really do like him, but I just want us to work out. I was sitting in Speech and could tell he wasn't happy. He's called me a lot, left tons of texts, but I've never answered them...I've just read them.

He was passing out papers from an assignment we did a couple days ago, and I was a little scared. When he got to my desk, I looked down, but could feel his eyes burn into my skull. He placed my paper in front of me, and a separate piece of paper attaché to it with a paper clip. When he walked past me, I picked up my paper and saw I got a perfect grade, and then took a look at the note. 

We need to talk. Stay after class.

I swallowed and pulled the note off the paper clip. I crumpled it up, stood up, and threw it away. The trash can was in front of Frank's desk, and I knew he was watching me when I got up, and he was watching me when I went back and sat down.

After the bell rang and everyone left, I told my friends to just go on and they left. Once it was just me and Frank, he got up and closed the door. I stayed in my seat, and looked down. After a minute I looked up, and saw he was staring at me with his arms folded over his chest.

We stayed silent for a minute, until I sighed. I rolled my eyes and said "Sitting in silence isn't gonna do anything, Frank."

"I don't care...You know why I told you to stay."

"Well are you gonna ask me or are you just gonna stare at me like an idiot?"

"First off, watch the fucking attitude, cause I'm clearly not in the mood for it. Second, why are you ignoring me? I've called you and texted you a hundred times, but you've never answered me once! What the hell Gerard, did I do something wrong? Just please tell me, cause you're scaring the shit out of me!"

I stood up and said "After I left your house, I went over to Pete's house cause I needed advice...I didn't tell Pete and Patrick who you were, but I told them that we had slept together, and he said we were rushing...And I agreed..I mean we've almost been together for what, 3 months now? And look at what we've done. We has sex, I spent the night at your house, and you told me you loved me-"

"Because I do love you, Gerard!" He snapped, cutting me off. I kept my mouth shut and he continued.

“Okay I’ll admit it, we are going a little fast, but ignoring me and scaring me for two weeks, isn’t gonna make things better Gerard, and you know that! Do you realize how scared I was when you were ignoring me? I thought something bad was happening, or I did something wrong…You scared the shit out of me, baby.”

I instantly felt like a jerk, and he asked “Why didn’t you just tell me you wanted to slow down a little? Did you think I was gonna be mad at you or hate you?”

I bit my lip and nodded. He sighed and came over to me. He gently held my face in his hands and said “Baby, I could never hate you…I’m not that kind of person, I would’ve understood if you wanted to slow down a little…I wouldn’t hate you. I don’t think I could ever hate anyone or anything, cause it’s not who I am...I’m sorry for being an ass about it, I was just worried.”

I nodded and said “No, it’s my fault…I just didn’t want us to go too fast because…When you told me you loved me, I didn’t know whether to believe you or not..You wouldn’t be the first person to lie to me if you weren’t serious.”

He leaned in and pressed his lips to mine. I felt so bad for doubting him like this…I’m a dick. When he pulled away, he rested his forehead against mine and said “I love you….Do you believe me?” I nodded and kissed him back….I’m never doubting him again

After I said goodbye to him, I walked out of the classroom with a big smile on my face. As I walked, I saw someone sitting on the ground with their knees pulled up to their chest. I got closer, and realized it was Patrick. I quickly rushed over to him, despite my heels, and asked “Patrick?"

He jumped a little and looked up. He quickly wiped his eyes and face and said “Oh..H-Hey Gerard..What are you still doing here?”

“I was um..I was asking Mr. Iero about an assignment, what about you?”

He said “Oh um, I’m just waiting here until Pete gets out of Soccer practice.”

I nodded and said “Okay…But youalways wait for him on the bleachers, not sitting in here all by yourself.”

I noticed his eyes were all red and puffy…Was he crying??

“Patrick? Patrick sweetheart what’s wrong?”

He shook his head and asked “N-Nothing…Why do you ask?”

I squatted down to his level, and kept my skirt down. “Because you’ve obviously been crying...Honey, you don’t have to be scared, you can tell me anything. I won’t judge…I’m the last person to judge.”

His eyes started tearing up and I put my hand on his shoulder. “It’s okay sweetheart, I’m here.”

We sat in silence for a couple of minutes until he spoke up. He looked me dead in the eyes and said “Gerard, I’m pregnant.”
