Frank Jr POV:

It has been a few weeks since the incident at Gerard's house.

Mrs. Anton and Grace are doing just fine. They are back at school from a few days in the hospital after being ordered to take it easy.

But things did not go so well for the douche bag when the doctor asked why she was there. She said she told him the truth. He has

*tw*

Raped her before because she made him mad. So he is in jail and were waiting for the bastard to be convicted in a trial.

I can't believe someone I am related to would do that. I am absolutely revolted.

Look, I know the world isn't perfect but three things I cannot stand for are

1. Liars- they always add drama.

2. People that have no respect for women- I mean, they are human, too!

3. Bullies- they make the victims vulnerable and suicidal. I have lost one friend to suicide and that shut the whole school up on bullying and suicide jokes for about a month. Then it went right back to hell.

My friend, Manny, he was the best friend you could ever ask for. Always the first to apologize after a fight, there for you when you needed someone to talk to- even at three fucking o clock in the morning.

The world is ugly. But he was beautiful to me...

Ugh. Time for dinner.

Its The worst with my little cousins.

"Fun"

Gerard's POV: tw not over... sry!

Hmm. I should go visit the cemetery. A few years ago, when I was just starting high school, I found out my close friend was going to the other school. Come sophomore year, he came to me asking for help. He was dealing with some bullying. Me and the group went and helped him and gained a whole new level of respect.

I remember when he was in a coma after attempting suicide. He shot himself. They got the bullet out but his body wasn't healing right. I went to visit him in the hospital and I wrote him a song... for if he made it. I wasn't that optimistic about his survival chances.

*Flash back to 2 years ago, still Gerard's POV*

Walking in to a hospital is not my favorite thing. My friend isn't doing so well after attempting suicide.

I walk into room 204 and sit next to the bed in a chair.

"Hey man. So, people say that when a person is in a coma, such as yourself, they can hear what is going on around them. I wrote you a song and hope you can hear it. Its called The Light Behind Your Eyes. I hope you like it."

"So long to all my friends,
Every one of them met tragic ends.
With every passing day,
I'd be lying if I didn't say
That I miss them all tonight
And of they only knew what I would say

If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
One day, I'll lose this fight
As we care in the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright.

Be strong and hold my hand
Time becomes for us, you'll understand
We'll say goodbye today
And I'm sorry how it ends this way
If you promise not to cry
Then I'll tell you just what I would say

If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I'll fail and lose this fight
Never fade in the dark
Just remember you'll always burn as bright

The light behind your eyes
The light behind you

Sometimes we must grow stronger and
You can't be stronger in the dark
When I'm here, no longer
You must be stronger and

If I could be with you tonight
I would sing you to sleep
Never let them take the light behind your eyes
I failed and lost this fight
Never fade into the dark
Just remember you will always burn as bright

The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes

The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes
The light behind your eyes..."

I was silent for a minute. Then decided I should head home before I go insane with those white walls and sheets and everything.

*End of flashback and tw*

Sigh. I miss him. Its only 6. And its not dark. After I grab a bite I think I will head to the cemetery.

Frank POV... again:

Dinner was going just fine. Until, that is, my little cousin, Daniel, threw spaghetti at me. I yelled at him. Then my aunt yelled at me and I yelled at her and my mom yelled at me for yelling at my aunt while she proceeded to yell at her.

I straight up left and walked down to the cemetery. There was someone I needed to talk to.

***

Gerards POV:

I grab a bite and then head out the door. It wasn't that dark.

After about five minutes, I find the grave of my old friend. It has been two years.

After I sent that song to him, the machines went haywire and he passed away that day...

As I slowly made my way closer to Manny's grave, I noticed a small figure sitting on the bench right near it.

I sat on the other side of the three person bench and the stranger and I locked eyes.

I was shocked by who it was.

Why were they here? Beside Manny's grave.

Did they know each other?

"Frank?"

-----------------------------

DRAMATIC CLIFF HANGER!

Did any of you think before Gerard mentioned Manny's name that he and frank had a common friend? PLOT TWIST!

Q: How are you guys today?

A: I'm ok. U?

And I'm sorry if I made you guys cry. As I was writing the lyrics for the song, I was listening to Spotify and The Light Behind Your Eyes came on, then Cemetery Drive, Welcome to the Black Parade, and then FUCKING DESTROYA?!?! WTF?!

It was weird af...
