After The Break Up

Chapter 32

Gerard's P.O.V
​
​Time Lapse>>>>>>>>>>
​
​Two months later.
​
​I smiled down at Frank as he slept on my couch. He'd changed since we'd got home. He didn't get jealous as much now. But then we were hardly alone. That was fine by me. I headed to the kitchen to make some food for us and a coffee. I was busy making a vegetable pie when my phone rang. I looked at the screen to see Kristins name. I frowned as I answered.
​Me: "Hey, Kristin. What's up?"
​Kristin: "It's Mikey...."
​She cut off with a sob. Panic started to set in.
​Me: "What's happened? What's wrong with Mikey?"
​Kristin: "He's been in a car crash."
​I dropped the pan I was mixing the veg in. Ì dropped to the floor, tears streaming down my face.
​Me: "No."
​Frank rushed into the room. He saw me on the floor and dropped to his knees infront of me. He put his hands on my shoulders and looked in my eyes.
​Me: "Is he..?" 
​I didn't want to finish. I couldn't finish. 
​Kristin: "No. He's...I...in a c...coma."
​I closed my eyes and leaned my head back on the wall.
​Me: "Does Mum and Dad know?"
​Kristin: "I told you first. I...w...wanted you t...to tell t..them."
​Me: "I'll do it now. We'll meet you there."
​Kristin: "O...okay."
​She put the phone down and I looked at Frank. He waited patiently. I didn't say anything. I just group dialed Mum and Dad, Ray, Bob and Brian. Then I put the phone on loud speaker. Frank watched my every move. They all answered about the same time.
​Frank: "Hey, guys. Gerard needs to talk to you all but I don't know what about. He looks really upset."
​Mum: "Gerard, baby? What's wrong?"
​Me: "Mum? Mikey..."
​I stopped as a sob escaped and fresh tears slid down my face. Frank stroked my cheek.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​Mum: "What's wrong with Mikey? Is he okay? Gerard? Is Mikey okay?"
​Me: "He's....in...a...c...coma."
​Frank pulled me into his arms as Mum started crying. I pulled away, slightly. 
​Me: "He was I...in a c...car cr...crash."
​Ray: "Shit."
​Bob: "I'll come pick you up, Donna and Don. I'll take you to the hospital."
​Brian: "I'll pick up Ray and swing by Gerards to pick him and Frank up. Let's get to the hospital and see Mikey."
​Me: "I..I h..have to call B...Bandit."
​Ray: "See you all in ten."
​Everyone hung up so I called Bandit. She answered pretty quick.
​Bandit: "Hey, Daddy."
​Me: "Hey, Sweetie."
​Bandit: "You okay, Daddy? You sound upset."
​Me: "Uncle Mikeys been in a car crash. He's in a coma."
​Bandit started to cry. Lyn-z soothed her in the background. 
​Lyn-z: "What's wrong? Bandits in bits."
​Me: "Mikeys in a coma."
​Lyn-z: "Oh my god. What...? How...?"
​Me: "Car crash. Look me and Frank are getting picked up by Brian and Ray. Meet us at the hospital."
​Lyn-z: "We'll be there."
​We ended the call and I looked at Frank. "I can't lose him, Frank." I told him. "It would kill me. I can't lose him."
​Frank pulled me into his arms and rubbed my back as he promised Mikey would be okay.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
