I lost my fear of falling || frerard fanfic

Frank Iero has spent his whole life on the outskirts-an outcast with no friends, no patience for high school cliques, and no need for anyone but his mom. Life in New Jersey has never been easy, especially with his dad long gone, but Frank's learned to keep his head down and survive. That is, until his junior year at Bellevue High starts off with a punch-literally. Gerard Way, the school's infamous bad boy with a trail of dangerous rumors following him, nearly runs Frank over before making it clear that he's someone not to be messed with.

The problem? Frank's only friend is Mikey Way, Gerard's younger brother, and being caught between their fractured family is the last thing Frank wants. As tensions rise and the shadows of their pasts collide, Frank finds himself drawn deeper into a world of secrets, loss, and the kind of trouble he never asked for.
