How My Life Changed

Beep

A day before the talent show, I got a call. It was from the hospital phone.

"Hello?"
"Are you a family member of Frank Iero?"
"I'm his boyfriend..."
"Oh," the voice said, "Well, he wants you to come to the hospital. Immediately."

The emphasis on the word "immediately" frightened me.

"I'll be right there!" I yelled into the phone. I had just finished drawing something for him, too.

As I got to Franks room, I saw him in his gurney, his cheeks were soaked from crying.
"Frank?! Are you okay?"
He turned towards me. "Ge..rard..."
He screamed in agony.
"FRANK?!"
I ran over towards him. I kissed him, and he looked up at me. "Gee... I.. love...you."
"I love you too Frank. I love you so much." I told him, I couldn't stop the tears from coming out.
"I drew this for you," I showed him the drawing. He weakly smiled and nodded.

He screamed again. A guy nurse came into his room, and yelled, "I NEED HELP!"
Then, four other nurses bounded in. One of them took me out into the hallway.
I heard the heart monitor attached to Frank start to beat faster. It freaked out. It went faster and faster and faster.

Suddenly, it came to one long beep. It was the last beep.
