[Mikey]
I was starting to worry about Gerard. He never spoke to me for the rest of the night, he wouldn't even look at me. He just sat on his bed looking lifeless. “Gee? Why won't you talk to me?” I had no idea what I had done wrong ever since I told him about Corey he... well wasn't himself. Why did it bother him so much? He didn't even know the guy. “Why did he die?” Gerard asked. “How the hell should I know? Suicide I think.” I told him. He shrugged and started to close his eyes and went to sleep. So did I.
The next morning the alarm went off, I leaned over and switched on to snooze. I started to open my eyes. Gerard was gone. He never wakes up this early. I got up, his bed was cold, he must have been up for some time. I went down stares. No sign of him. The front door was unlocked. I got changed and started walking to the bus stop where I met Ray and Frank. They both asked where Gerard was. I told them I didn't know. The bus came and still Gerard was nowhere in sight, I started to panic and get really worried. We got on the bus along with all of the dicks from school, they were so immature it's like they've never seen anyone wear black before. Frank stared at this blond girl Nancy. He was in love with her. We made fun of him for it she was a cheerleader so we had every right to make fun of him.

As I sat down next to Ray, I stared at Nancy, her long blond hair and crystal like eyes glistened as she turned and looked at me. She showed me her smiled. I looked around to see if she was looking at me. She was looking at me. So I smiled back. Until Jamie came on the bus, as soon as I saw him my smile faded and I looked away. Ray and Mikey avoided eye contact with him as usual. We arrived at school. We waited by the bike shed just in case Gerard was catching the late bus. The bell went for our first lesion. Still nothing. Where the hell was he? I turned and looked at Mikey. He looked down at the pavement and reluctantly walked to class. Me and Ray followed. All through the day he didn't show, neither did Arabella. Something was wrong.
[Gerard]
I sat next to Arabella. We were hiding in her garage no one ever came down here so we were safe to talk. She hardly said a word to me after she told me about what happened. I looked into her eyes. They were both black. She turned away from me that was when I noticed the mark on her neck. I pulled off her scarf. “Arabella you have to tell someone.” I told her. But she wouldn't listen. It looked like someone had tried to strangle her with a piece of rope. She grabbed her scarf and tided it gently around her neck covering the mark. Her eyes were swollen. Why would someone abuse such a pretty girl? “You should probably leave.” She mumbled. Staring into the corner. I got up and sat in front of her, she tried to move but I held her head still. “Gerard don't...” She said. “Just one kiss.” I said. “Only one, and then I will leave.” She tried to pull me off but I managed to steal a soft, warm kiss from her beautifully plump lips. Our lips parted and I took my leave. I left a note on the table with my number on it. “If you need anything... call me.” I said. She passed on a smile and nodded. As I left I noticed that black car again I quickly ran past it hoping no one saw me. I ran all the way I saw Mikey, Frank and Ray get off the bus. The house was only a fifteen second walk from the bus stop I ran inside before anyone saw me. “GERARD!” I heard Mikey shout. Fuck. I was in for it now. I ran up stares and lay on my bed Mikey came running up after me. “WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN?!” He yelled. “I've been worried sick about all day.” He added closing the door. “It's Arabella isn't it?” he asked sitting on my bed next to me. I nodded. “She's in trouble. Her boyfriend keeps on abusing her, Corey Taylor was her boyfriend but Jamie her boyfriend before Corey killed him.” Mikey stared at me. “What?” He asked sounding confused. “Jamie hates it when Arabella is happy with another guy he kills any guy who goes near her. The guy is a psychopath. And... ” Before I finished my sentence I got a text from an 'unknown number' I answered it. The text read “Touch her again and your dead!” Mikey peered over my shoulder and read the text. I covered it up hoping he didn't see it. He saw it. “You have to tell someone.” He said. We heard out parents walk in through the door, Mikey ran to go an tell them. I grabbed hold of him and pulled him back covering up his mouth so he couldn't scream. “Mikey, please don't.” I begged. “They have to know.” He said. I shook my head. “No they don't. Mikey please leave this to me. I no what I have to do.” I was going to regret this but it was the only way.
