{Gerard's POV}

Monday.

How the fuck was it Monday?

Lewis had said that I had until Friday to break up with Frank.

But when it got to Friday, they were no where to be seen.

I had actually considered not going to school I was so freaked out by Friday.

But it turned out that I had nothing to worry about.

They weren't waiting for me before or after school.

So what did that mean?

Had they given up?

Were they finally leaving me alone?

I doubted that.

They got too much of a kick out of making my life a misery.

They wouldn't leave me alone anytime soon.

Still, I stayed inside all weekend.

Frank came over of course to see if I was okay.

I assured him that I was but I don't think he believed me.

I wouldn't either to be honest.

By Monday I was actually lulled into a false sense of security.

I actually thought that I was okay.

I thought everything would be fine.

Well... All I can say is:

I can be such a fucking idiot sometimes.

It was still cold, being January and everything.

For once, I was thankful for these stupid blazers.

They were pretty thick and were a good shield from the cold wind.

I left for school at the usual time.

I used to leave so I only had a couple of minutes at school before the bell rang for form.

I was never much of a social person, especially in the mornings.

But since I had gotten together with Frank, I made sure I had at least ten minutes with him in the morning.

Funny what relationships do to you.

Your whole outlook on life changes; becomes better somehow.

It was a welcome change from the shitty way I used to see things.

So, on that Monday, I left my house at about five past eight.

I buried my neck in my blazer collar, put my headphones in and pressed shuffle.

The first song to come up was I Miss You by Blink 182.

I usually listened to heavier songs on the way to school but that song was welcome that morning and I listened to it as I shuffled along the pavement.

"Don't waste your time on me, you're already a voice inside my 'ead," I sang along in my own head.

I was a pretty fast walker.

I had recently had a growth spurt and I was nearly taller than Frank.

That meant I was able to walk pretty quickly.
