Chapter 2:

"Gerard. Would you do me a favor?," Gerard's mom asked. "Sure mom, what is it?," Gerard said as he was getting into his pjs. Mikey was sitting up in the front room stuffing big spoonfuls of chocolate and vanilla ice cream that were bigger than his mouth fastly into his mouth while wacthing his favorite late night cartoon show of Adventures of Sheriff Woody."Would you please watch your brother Mikey while I go out to have a cigarette and a breath of fresh air?," Gerard's mom continued as she started to pull her cigarette out her side pocket of her robe.

"Okay.," Gerard replied as he was collecting his soliders from the bathroom and carrying them to his room. Gerard's mom left the house to go have a smoke and Gerard was left alone in charge of taking care of his brother, Mikey. "You stay being good, you hear? I'm going to go my room and play with my soliders.," Gerard said quickly as he left the room. "Ok Gee.," Mikey said finishing up his ice cream. Gerad went into his room and sat down quietly on the floor, playing with his toy soliders. Old memories of him his dad flooded his head again and Gerard ended up crying again. "Daddy, where are you, where did you go?," Gerard cried as he leaned slumpishly over his toys. Gerard cried for about 30 minutes until Mikey walked in.

"Gee, what's wrong? Do you miss daddy?," Mikey asked sitting down in a indian postion next to Gerard. "Nothing, just go away ... please go away.," Gerard replied in a low toned voice. Gerard turned his face away, hiding the tears he was crying. "Gee, I miss daddy too. Don't be sad. Please don't be sad.," Mikey said as hugged Gerard. "I'm trying not to, Mikey, I'm trying not to. But it's so hard not to, dad was my hero, my hero ... and now he is gone.," Gerard said crying loudly as tears flowed down his face in streams and onto his soliders, "I wish I could bring him back, but he's gone. He's never coming back.," Gerard finished as pushed mikey away. Mikey stared down at his hands and began to stand up again slowly. "Think happy thoughts Gee! Daddy's watching us from above like all other people when they are gone ... at least that's what mommy says.," Mikey said twidling his thumbs and staring at his feet.

"See, that's what you don't understand. You're too young to understand either way.," Gerard says as he twiddles with his thumbs. "So. It doesn't mean you have to take it out me just because.", Mikey says as he brushes away a tear from his eyes. Mikey forgets about talking anymore to Gerard and thus leaves with tears filling up his eyes. Gerard continues playing with his toy soliders before he has to go bed.

"Gerard Arthur Way! Get your butt up and get ready for school now! Your brother is already ready and he cannot wait for you much longer and niehter can I. Plus I have to be in by eight, so I need you two up, dressed and out side waiting for your bus to pick you up.," Gerard's mom says as she pulls the blanket off Gerard. "MOM!! IT'S TOO COLD AND I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL!!," Gerard says as he wrapps his arms around himself, rolling around his bed to try to keep warm. "Gerard, it is not cold and you're going to school whether you like it or not. I've made arrangements to call your school anyways, those boys should leave you alone or they'll have to deal with me.," Gerard's mom says as she sits down next to him. "Mommy, does daddy think of me ... I mean like watch me from heaven?," Gerard asks as he slowly sits up in his bed. "Of course he does sweetie and now get up or you'll be late for school.," Gerard's mom says as she gets up to go attend to Mikey. Gerard gets up and gets dressed.

"Why did you give mommy a hard time this morning?," Mikey asks out of cursity. "It's none of your business.," Gerard says as he messes with the buttons on his coat jacket. the bus finally comes, and Gerard and Mikey climbed aboard on the bus. Gerard looked around nervously for a place to sit at but finally found one next to this boy who was staring out the window quietly. "Hi. Can I please sit here?," Gerard asked neverously. "Sure you can sit here.," the boy said while not even turning his head to see who it was. "My name is Gerard, what's yours?," Gerard says. "I know who you are, you're the fat one in Mrs. Finklson's class who gets picked on by The Robinson boys and their unruling gang of mishmashed neo nazi nerds. Am I right?," the boy says finally turning his face towards Gerard. "Y-y-yes.," Gerard says stuttering. "It fuigures. The names Frank Iero, but I perfer you just call me Frank or Frankie. Got it?," Frankie says looking around as though someone were spying on us. "Yes, I got it. You can call me Gee, that's what my brother Mikey calls me.," Gerard says finishing up with a nervous laugh. "Gee? Isn't that a girls name?," Frankie says looking at Gerard confusingly. Gerard quickly shut his mouth and just kept it shut for the rest of the ride to school.

Thank you guys for the comments. I'm so glad you like.

Chapter 3:

The bus pulled up in front of the school. Gerard stretched his neck a bit to look out the window to see if those punks were anywhere to be found. So far, they weren't there. Gerard closed his eyes and said "Thank God" to himself quietly. Frankie looked at Gerard in a confused way and nudged him that the bus driver was already letting them off. Gerard quickly got up from his seat and raced off the bus to class.

"Okay today class we shall begin off with a simple project. Today we are going to do a family tree.," Mrs. Finkleson said as she was passing out sheets of paper with a tree on it. "A family tree? God I hate these type of projects.," Gerard says as he slumped in his desk. "Hey Gee, liven up a little,it's only a stupid little class project.," Frankie says as he leans over whispering in Gerard's ear. "Yeah, stupid project alright.," Gerard mumbles under his breath. Gerard bites the end eraser tip nervously as he begins to wonder what he will put on his family tree since he hardly knows his dad's side of the family since the day his dad died. "I wonder what I shall write about.," Gerard thought to himself staring at the blank tree on the paper. Gerard closed his eyes and counted to ten to think back to what he could remember of his father's siblings and parents names. "So what are you going to do, Gee?," Frankie asks Gerard. "I don't know, what about you?," Gerard ask back as he stares blankly into space. "Oh, I know! I'm going to write about my Uncle Bob Booie.," Frankie says as he snorts with laughter. "Uncle Bob Booie? Are you serious, who in the world is that?," Gerard asks as he turns to face Frank. "I don't know and no I'm not serious! I made that name up as a 'ha ha' joke. Do you really think that kind of name would exist, even I wouldn't want myself to be named that kind of name.," Frankie says as he starts to make a paper airplane out of his worksheet. Gerard turns back around and begans to think again until the bell rings for lunch.

Gerard and Frank sit down to eat lunch at a small table by the steps of the school building. Gerard notices a some what tall kid coming who has redish brown curly hair and was walking towards them. Gerard thought maybe he was one of the bad kids and ducked down behind his lunch pail. "Hey Ray, what's up?," Frankie says as Ray sits next to him. "So whose the dork kid ducking behind his pail?," Ray says as he points at Gerard and takes one of Frankie's cookies. "Oh him. That's Gerard, but he pefers to be called "Gee" though.," Frankie says as he takes a huge bite out of sandwich. Gerard picks up his head from behind the pail and blushes because he feels embarassed. "Ah, I see. Wait ... isn't Gee a girl name?," Ray says all confused like. "No, it's my nick name and who are you?," Gerard says nervously. "My name is Ray Toro but just call me Ray.," Ray says as he puts out his hand for a handshake. Gerard being nervous as usual doesn't respond so Ray just gives Gerard a funny look and continues talking to Frankie. "So , is Gerard now part of our group?," Ray says as he whispers to Frankie while pointing at Gerard. "Group? Does this mean I'm both of your friend?," Gerard asks in a confused way. Frank turns to Gerard and says "Yes Gee, this means you are our f-r-i-e-n-d." "Oh.," Gerard says as he begans to nibble on his sandwich.

Gerard, Frankie, and Ray finish there lunch fast before the bell rings for class again.

"So now that I am both your friends and in your group. I don't have do anything daring to stay in do I?," Gerard asks tilting his head to one side. 'No, you don't have to do anything daring, what makes you think that?," Frankie says laughing. "Oh.," Gerard says in a whispery voice. "Man, aren't you stupid.," Ray says as he begans to laugh and make jokes at Gerard. Gerard gets even more embarrassed and feels like he's shrunk three sizes down to the size of a mouse. "Sorry about what Ray is doing," Frankie says, "But that's just his way of being.," he continues as he gives Ray an evil stare. Ray shuts up and keeps to himself as they continue walking back to class

The school day finishes and Gerard, Mikey, Frankie, and Ray walk home instead of riding the bus. "So, are you new here Gee?," Ray asks Gerard as they walk home. "No, I just hardly ever come into contact with any kids around here due to the fact I have bullies.," Gerard says kicking rocks. "Ah, I see.," Ray says as they cross the street. Gerard holds onto Mikey's hand to cross the street because if he doesn't, their mom would kill him if anything happened to him. "So, whose this little turd?," Frankie says as he messes with Mikey's hair. "Stop messing with my hair! Gerard tell him I'm not a little turd.," Mikey says looking up at his brother. Gerard looks at Frankie in a evil way. "Jeese louise, chill out Gee. I was only joking.," Frankie says as he steps away from Gerard. They continue walking 'till they get to Ray's house. "Well, I must go now, see all of you later as in tomorrow.," Ray says as he runs off to home. "Hey wait up Ray, I was suppose to sleep over at your house tonight, remember? My mom and dad aren't going to be home 'til tomorrow.," Frankie says as he runs to catch up with Ray. "Right you are, Frank. We should hurry up inside before we miss the Batman episode.," Ray says as he gets to the door first. Gerard just stops to stare at them, then motions off to going home. Him and Mikey keep walking home alone.

Chapter 4:

"So how was your day boys?," Gerard's mom asks as she serves the boys last night's meatloaf and mashed potatoe. "It was okay. I made new friends.," Gerard says in a sort of exciting voice while poking the meatloaf with his fork. "Yeah mommy, Gerard's new friend called me a little turd as well!," Mikey says as he sits up straight in his chair, giggling like a little girl. Gerard gives Mikey an evil stare and then looks down back his plate. Mikey slowly sits back and finishes up his dinner. "I see. So who are these new friends of yours, Gerard?," Gerard's mom asks as she sits at the table. "Nothing mom, it's just nothing.," Gerard says as he gets up from the table and heads to his room.

"Gee, what's wrong? I didn't mean to say that, it just popped out of my mouth. I need to keep my big mouth shut?," Mikey says standing at Gerard's door way. "Go away Mikey. And before you go ... it's ok.," Gerard says as he starts to brush his hands against eyes to stop the tears from flowing. "Gee, don't cry, please," Mikey begans. "Go away, please go away.," Gerard says as he lays down on his bed and closes his eyes. Mikey leaves Gerard alone and Gerard just cries himself to sleep.

Gerard sits in class wondering what the teacher will do next for the project. "So class, if any of you have finished your project, please pass it forward.," Mrs. Finkleson says walking around the class looking to see if any of her students have there work from yesterday. "Mr. Gerard Way, where is your family tree?," Mrs. Finkleson says as she stops at his desk. Gerard gets startled and looks up. "I didn't do it Mrs. Finkleson," Gerard begins, "I mean ... I didn't finish it.," Gerard continues as he looks down at his desk. "And how come?," Mrs. Finkleson says as she kneels down by Gerard's desk. "I don't know what to put for my father's side of the family.," Gerard says as he twiddles with his thumb. "I see, doesn't your mom know what you can put down?," the teacher asks. "No. I didn't bother to try tp ask either.," Gerard says almost as if he was about to cry. "It's ok Gerard, you may turn it in tomorrow.," Mrs. Finkleson says as she gets back up to continue with class. Gerard just slumpishly sits there, waiting for the bell to ring for lunch.

"How come you didn't finish your work?," Frankie asks out of curiosty. "I don't ... I just couldn't. Please don't ask me any personal questions.," Gerard says as he unpacks his lunch from his pail. As Gerard begans to unravel his sandwich, he notices The Robinson twins and their gang coming. "Not again.," Gerard wimpers as he begins to duck down under the table. "Gee, what did you ... oh.," Frankie says as the twins stop at their table. "We know you're here Gerard. Show your ******** fat face, pig.," Drake yells as he tips the table over. Gerard stagers to his feet slowly and takes a big gulp before making a big break for it. "Hey, you guys leave Gee alone!," Frankie yells at them. "What are you going to do us? You're like short and wimpy looking.," one of the boys say to Frankie. "I may be short but I know karate.," Frankie says as he does a karate pose. "Oh yeah, I'm so scared. Shut up you lousy wimp.," Drake says as he pushes Frakie down. "I am so sick and tired of you guys picking on me everyday.," Gerard says in a brave way, "So it's now time for me to take my stand.," he continues. Gerard runs towards Drake to push him down and ends up running into the princabal instead because Drake moved out of the way. "What a loser, you're so busted.," Drake says as he lets his gang know that they should be leaving. "GERARD, I WANT YOU IN MY OFFICE ... NOW!," the princabal yells. "But ... but.," Gerard stutters but ends up doing what he is told and goes to the office. Gerard thought long and hard, he knew he was so going to get detention.

Chapter 5:

The school bell ranged for school to be let out. Gerard picked up his backpack and raced for the door. "Gee, wait up!," Frankie yells while running to catch up to Gerard. "What do you want now? Huh?! It was all your fault that I got detention! You should of just stayed out of the fight ... ok. You should of just let me handled it," Gerard says while stopping and looking down at his shoes, "Even if it was a cowardly way.," Gerard continues. Gerard starts walking fast again to lose Frankie but yet Frankie still manages to catch up to him anyhow. "Just please wait up Gee, please. I know it was my fault and sure I feel guilty for it, just please. I'm sorry, really I am.," Frankie says while starting to cry, "I'll do anything you want, just please forgive me, please.," he continuely pleads. "Want my forgiveness Frank? Then please take my brother Mikey home, Okay?," Gerard says while stopping and turning to face Frankie, "And whatever you do, please don't tell my mom of what happend today.," he continues. "Okay. Take care Gee.," Frankie says turning to go get Mikey.

Gerard made it finally to dentention. "Mr. Way you are late. You do know you could get another detention, right?," a risky but sturdy strict voice says. "S-s-sorry sir and no sir. Also yes sir.," Gerard says while beginning to sit down. "I didn't say you can sit down.," the strict teacher begins again. Gerard quickly stands back up on his feet. "But you may sit. Now sit down Mr. Way or you'll find yourself in detention again tomorrow.," the strict teacher says while throwing a tennis ball up in the air. Gerard sits back down and dumps his backpack on the floor. "Hey! Okay, now made that noise?," this young boy's voice says. Gerard thinks to himself that this may be bad, very bad. He turns around to see who it was. "It was me and I'm not in a mood for fighting ... either.," Gerard says depressingly. "Nah, it's cool man, I was just wanting to know who made the noise. By the way my name is Bob Bryar and you are?," Bob says while wiping his face of his drool and then cleaning the desk. "Uhh ... I'm Gerard. Gerard way to be exact, you can just call me Gee.," Okay cool then.," Bob says while leaning back ion the desk. "So what brings you here, Gee? I mean you don't really look like the type who would do any bad.," Bob says practicing making darts at the chalkboard, wishing it was the teacher's head instead. "Nothing. I mean I don't know ... I'm just here, I guess.," Gerard says all nervous like. "Ah, ok, enjoy yourself.," Bob says before going back to sleep. Gerard turns back around and just keeps to himself 'til it's time to go home.

Gerard walks home alone, it's past five o'clock and Gerard wishes he can just get home faster. Finally Gerard comes up to the fence gate. Gerard walks up to the door and as he does he notices a "For Sale" sign outside on the front lawn and he rushes to get inside.

"Mom! Mom, where are you?," Gerard yells once he gets inside. "I'm right over here son, what is it?," Gerard's mom yells back. "Why do we have a for sale sign outside? What happened?," Gerard asks. "Gerard, there something I have to tell you, you may want to sit down on this one though.," Gerard's mom says while hgoing to hug Gerard. Gerard looks at her confusingly and then looks down at his feet. "This doens't mean we are moving, does it?," Gerard asks nervously. "Yes ... yes it does.," Gerard's mom says as she hugs Gerard. Gerard pushes his mom away and runs up to his room. He couldn't bear to think of moving. Not now, not from his childhood home he grew up in. Why now, but anyhow he knew they had to, ever since his dad died, they have had trouble keeping up with bills. "Gerard, sweetie. I know moving is going to be hard, but look at the bright side of this, you and Mikey are still going to go to the same school.," Gerard's mom says as she sits down next to Gerard on his bed. Gerard just turns away and ignores his mom as she leaves. Today was such a hard day for him.
