Gerard Way has never had many friends. his best friend Ray moved away last summer, and since then, he's had no one except his brother. And sometime he feels like even his brother hates him.
Then Gerard meets Frank, the guy who moved into his apartment with him as a roommate. Frank doesn't like Gerard at first, the man is an alchoholic, bit eventually warms up to him.
After a while of staying with Gerard, Frank figures out why he's so screwed up. They get closer, and one night, Gerard goes out to get them food, and doesn't come back. Frank goes looking, and finds him in an alley behind the place he was getting food from- and there's another man, forcing him against the wall, and Gerard's pants are gone.
