"Rise and shine, Gee!" Mikey said, opening up Gerard's bedroom door as he saw the older boy passed out in bed, cuddling up to a pillow. 
                          
"Come on, Gee" Mikey continued, going over to Gerard and grabbing his shoulders, shaking the living hell out of him. "Mmm... I-I'm up, I'm up" Gerard groaned, as he slowly opened up his eyes to see his brother smiling down at him. "Great. You have thirty minutes to get ready and dress up, okay?" Mikey said, dropping off a bottle of water on Gerard's nightstand. 
                          
"Thank you" Gerard's morning voice said as he slowly sat upright, feeling slightly dizzy. He rubbed his eyes as he opened his meds drawer. He took out a white plastic bottle of medication. One which had a purple label, and opened up the cap. He got out two pills and put them in his mouth, holding them at the back of his tongue. He opened the bottle of water and swallowed some liquid to get those pills down. 
                          
Once that was over and done with, he stood up, taking his morning piss and started dressing up for the day. He wore his black jeans along with his combat boots and put on a Nirvana t-shirt on his torso along with a black denim jacket. He looked into the mirror and arranged his hair, making sure it matched his standards. "Gee, you ready?" Mikey knocked on the door. 
                          
"Yeah, just need to grab my bag. Go wait in the car" Gerard said, opening the door as he handed Mikey the keys to his car. They smiled at each other, then going their separate ways. Gerard grabbed his bag, stuffing the books he needed for that particular day. He looked back in his bag to notice that something was missing. "Fuck, my English textbook" Gerard said as he looked for it around his room. Flipping over the books on his desk when he stumbled along something that wasn't his. 
                          
A phone. He pressed on the home button and immediately realized it was Frank's from the lock screen photo being a picture of him with Ray eating a pizza while pulling a funny face. Gerard smiled, seeing how much fun they have together, and how many jokes they must have between them. He could never understand that since he never really had a friend to share jokes with, but whenever he tried to have a partner in crime it didn't work out so well with the whole blood infection thing.
                          
When he would tell them about it, they would just think that he has fucking lung cancer or some shit like that and that if he touches them they'll die in pain and agony. That's mostly why he didn't tell people about it. They wouldn't understand. 
                          
He's not dying, he's just suffering... till now. 
                          
Gerard grabbed Frank's phone and stuffed it in his jacket pocket. He grabbed his bag and went downstairs. He got in the car and started it, driving off to school as they listened to 'Run to the hills' by Iron Maiden. 
                          
Once they got to school, Gerard parked his car in the parking lot and got out, along with Mikey. "Hey, if you feel sick again, remember the pills I put in your bag, okay? Just take one though" Mikey said, looking up to Gerard as they walked to the entrance. "Yeah. Thanks..." Gerard smiled back. They kept walking as Gerard looked in form of him again when he noticed Frank and his group. 
                          
"Umm.. Mikes, you can keep going in. I have something to do" Gerard said as Mikey nodded, leaving his brother on his own. He walked up to frank and tapped his shoulder, receiving a scared look from all of them. 
                          
"Shit head, you left your phone at my house yesterday" Gerard said, taking out the black phone from his jacket pocket. "T-Thank you" Frank looked down. Gerard rolled his eyes as he started walking away from them. "Wait, Gerard!" Frank said, waving a hand to stop the older from walking away. "What now, fucker?" Gerard turned round, stuffing his hands in his pockets. 
                          
"Why did you kick me out yesterday? We still had to write out essay together and we had plenty of time" Frank crossed his arms. Gerard gulped as he looked down. The actual truth was that he didn't fell so good and he didn't want Frank to see, so he immediately kicked him out to prevent him from seeing the truth. 
                          
"Don't be so confident, Iero. I kicked you out cause it's my god damn house and if I felt like taking a break I could easily do that" Gerard reasoned as Frank raised an eyebrow. "But what about the project-" 
                          
"-the project is literally an essay copied from google for most people. You write about the first half of the event and I'll write the second. Easy. Now fuck off" Gerard sarcastically smiled as he turned round again, walking into the school. "Well fuck you too, Gerard" frank whispered to himself as he turned back to Ray and Seth, practically giggling about how fragile and small Frank was compared to the senior. 
                          
"Dude, that was pathetic" Ray chuckled. "Shut up. You would shit your pants if you were to talk to him as well, let alone do a fucking project" Frank rolled his eyes as Ray lifted his hands up in defense. "Though, there's something wrong with him... he seems quieter than last year. Last year he used to put kids in lockers, this year all he's done is threaten people. There's something going on for sure" Frank rubbed his chin. 
                          
"To me he didn't change. I don't know what you're seeing" Seth begged to differ. "Ray?" Seth continued, waiting for an opinion. "No comment" Ray said, crossing his arms. "Whatever it is, I'm gonna find out about it" Frank said, furrowing his eyebrows. "Okay, now that is what I call 'having a crush'." Seth said as Frank groaned. "Oh my god, Seth, I don't like him" 
                          
"Sure you don't. Even though you sound very emotionally invested in him. Did you even hear yourself back there? You sounded almost hurt that he kicked you out. Face it, Frank. You like Gerard Way" Ray said as Frank just sighed and looked down. 
                          
Frank himself didn't even know if he like him or not. He was so confused, emotionally. Even though Gerard was an asshole to Frank, he kind of liked his stiff posture and evil smirks he shown him from here and there. He liked the sternness in his voice and the words he spoke, telling him to fuck off. He seemed like he didn't give a fuck and Frank liked that about it. Don't even get him started on his appearance. He'd always thought of it as if a Calvin Klein model became a teenage vampire. But then again, who in the right mind would date Gerard Way? 
                          
"Okay, maybe I have a mild crush on him. But I know that he isn't who you think he is. He likes listening to Redbone and sing in the car. His room wasn't dark at all. Actually it was more colorful than mine. He had posters of bands all around and it seemed cozy" Frank smiled to himself. 
                          
"So what, if he listens to Redbone and has a colorful room. It doesn't have to do with his personality and looks" Ray said. 
                          
"It has a lot to do actually"
                          
"And this is when you realize you are deeply in love with a fucking vampire. Get a grip, Frank" Seth said, tightening his grip on his bag strap as he shrugged, and went off into the school. 
                          
"He's right man. You're on your own on this one. Sorry" Ray flashed him a small sympathetic smiled and followed Seth in the school.
