I'll Be Your Gerard If You'll Be My Frank

All For Frank

{Gerard's POV}

"Gerard? Would you like to speak next?"

It took me a moment to realise it was me he was speaking to.

Everyone in the group looked at me.

I stayed silent.

This felt really awkward.

Peter raised an eyebrow and spoke again, "Gerard?"

"I um..." I slid down a little in my seat.

"Come on," He smiled, "No one will judge you. We're all in the same boat here."

I didn't want to speak.

I didn't want to be here.

Therapy wasn't really my thing.

Especially group therapy.

Everyone was staring at me.

A girl smiled at me from the other side of the circle.

I still didn't speak.

This was stupid.

Peter gave up then and moved onto someone else.

I was grateful.

Telling my story while a group of teenagers and a therapist didn't listen wasn't really what I wanted to do.

I knew they didn't care so why bother?

I say again, this was stupid.

It wasn't worth my time.

I zoned out for the rest of the session.

I didn't find it even remotely interesting.

When it was over, I was ready to return to my room.

However, I was stopped short by a nurse calling my name.

"Gerard Way? Dr Palmer would like to speak with you."

I stopped walking and looked at her.

She tried to smile but it wasn't very convincing.

Ugh.

Did I have to go?

An argument wasn't exactly what I wanted now though if I resisted.

I decided to just follow her.

I didn't see any point in arguing.

She led me down to Dr Palmer's office.

I hadn't seen Dr Palmer since I had been admitted last Wednesday.

From what I could remember, she didn't exactly strike me as overly nice.

The nurse left me when we had reached the office.

I hesitantly knocked and opened the door.

"Ah, Mr Way," She smiled when she saw me, "Please take a seat."

I shut the door and slowly sat down on the chair in front of the desk.

"You're probably wondering why I wanted to see you," She said after a moment.

God, I was bored already.

How long was this going to take?

That was when I noticed the window.

I really wasn't interested in what she had to say so I just stared out of it.

I let my mind wander.
