Gerard Way and I had been best friends ever since the start of high school. We were in all the same classes and always sat next to each other. Three years into high school I was transferred and the days leading up to me leaving always left me in tears at the end of them. For a while Gerard and I texted each other everyday whenever we could, then it started becoming once every week, then once every two weeks, to once a month until they stopped. One day I texted Gerard and he texted back saying ‘sorry who are you?’ I was crushed. He’d forgotten me and the times we had.
