(Slightly triggering)
Frank's pov

I stared at Gerard as we all ate dinner, Lucifer sat next to me. Gerard's long black hair made his pale skin look even paler. His hazel eyes were sad and lost with bags under his eyes.

"Stop staring." Bob whispered to me, I shrugged and started to eat again. So after Jamie and Linsey finished their food and went to do homework. Riley was cleaning some dishes, Bob also left because he needed to read his text book or something.

"C-can I help?" Gerard asked Riley who was cleaning the table.

"Sure, Gee." Riley said with a huge smile, Gerard got up and started putting the clean dishes away.  "Don't you have homework to do, Frank?" Riley said with a frown when she saw me still sitting at the table. I dragged my gaze from Gerard's ass and nodded.

"Hold on Frank." Riley called when I got to the stairs. I waited for her as she said something to Gerard who nodded and sat back down at the table. He looked around nervously and bit his lip. Riley made her way over to me and stopped.

"Remember what I told you about Gerard?" She asked, I nodded remembering how she told us somethings about what to do around Gerard. The kids been through a lot it seems. "Just don't be to pushy, okay? He's really scared of men, just give him time." Riley said before squeezing my shoulders and sat with Gerard at the table. The poor kid looked like he was going to pass out.

I was too curious some times. I slid around the corner so I could listen to them talk.

"You're going to be home schooled, it's not going to start for another week, Gee. Kelly told me you can take your medication by yourself." Riley said, I heard a soft 'yeah' from Gerard.

"If you need anything just let me know or ask on of the girls. Do you feel comfortable here?" There was a long pause. I thought Gerard wouldn't answer her.

"I'm scared and I want Kelly here, I wanna go home, I want Mikey back and-and I don't want to be here." Gerard said and started to sob, my heart broke at the sound.

"Shh Gee, it's okay, just breath." Riley said, I peaked out and saw Gerard hugging Riley tightly as he sobbed. His sobs shook his whole body as he started to hyperventilate.

I couldn't watch anymore and I ran upstairs and shut my door. What happened to Gerard? Who's Mikey? Why is he so scared? And why was he after of men?

All of these questions popped into my head all at once. He got so worked up over nothing, or was it something? Ugh, I need to know what happened to him.

I sighed and sat up, Lucifer scrambled on to my bed and grunted. I sat at my dest for a while and did my homework. When my clock hit 10:47pm I flopped down in bed and listened to Lucifer snoring softly.

"Goodnight Gee." I heard Riley say from the hallway and shut a door. Gerard's been crying for three hours? That sucks a lot.

~~~~~

Bob shook me awake at 6am, why was it so God damn early?! Stupid school, stupid homework, stupid everything.
I grunted and sat up, Bob smirked at me.

"Are you tired from too much masterbating while thinking about Gerard last night?" Bob asked, his head cocked to the side.

"Eat shit, Bob. I was doing homework." I snorted and started getting ready.

"What ever you say, Frankie boy." Bob said before leaving my God damn door wide open.

"Close the God damn door!" I mumbled under my breath. I changed quickly, pat Lucifer's sleeping form on the bed, and made my way downstairs.

Gerard's room was right next to mine, the door was firmly shut. I debated if I should wake him or not. He doesn't even go to school. I heard some shuffling and muffled sobs come from the other side of the door.

"Gerard?" I said and slowly opened the door. Gerard was laying under the covers crying into a pillow. "Are you okay?" I asked and took a step into his room.

"G-go away." He sobbed and curled up even more.

I sighed and did what he said, if he didn't want me there than I wouldn't bother him.

~~~~~

When I finally got home I made my way to my room. Gerard's door was open, he was laying in the middle of his room just looking up at the ceiling. His chest rising and falling slowly.

His head turned when he heard we coming. His eyes grow wide and he sat up and scooted away a little bit.

"Hey." I said as friendly as possible, I will worm my way into his trust even if it takes forever.

He waved nervously back at me, his eyes still wide and scared. Taking a few breaths he stood up and tugged his sweater down so it was flat. He was about an inch or two shorter than me and I was pretty short, not extremely short though, Bob was just really tall.

"Do you wanna watch a movie?" I asked, Gerard still looked at me nervously and slowly nodded.

"We're home!" Linsey called from downstairs, Gerard flinched from the noise. "Hey Gee." Linsey said happily from the hallway as her and Jamie went into her room.

"No greeting to me?" I asked with fake hurt.

"Hey assface." Jamie called from the room before it shut.

"Let's go watch the movie now." I said, Gerard followed a few feet behind me as I led him to my room. He stopped at the doorway and peered in nervously.

"My tv is better than the one downstairs." I said with a shrug, Gerard looked a little panicked. "Are you okay?" I asked, his breath became faster.

"Please don't hurt me..." Gerard sobbed before falling to the ground. He knees pressed against his chest tightly.

"Why would I hurt you? It's okay Gee, I'm not gonna hurt you." I said and knelt beside him. I tried putting my arm around his shoulders but he shrunk away. Should I get the girls or Riley?

"That's w-what he said... H-he lied to me... H-he focused m-me..." Gerard said, his eyes were huge and glasslike. It was like he wasn't there, like he was ready a story out loud.

All of a sudden he keeled over and shook violently. Tears streamed down his face as he mumbled incoherent things.

"Fuck. Riley! Linsey! Jamie! Help!" I called and tried soothing Gerard but it just made it worse. Riley and the girls cake running in, Jamie was on the phone with paramedics.

"Stay awake Gerard. Don't close your eyes. Gerard!" Riley said as Gerard's eyes began to shut.

Paramedics came in and pulled Gerard's shaking body onto a stretcher. Strapping him down, they slowly cared him to the ambulance.

I stood in the driveway as the truck drove away. Riley had to go with him, leaving me, Linsey, and Jamie alone for tonight. I home Gerard's okay, please be okay Gee, please.
