Gerard woke up. He was in the hospital room, his stomach was pounding and his vision was blurry. Bert and Mikey were standing beside the hospital bed, both of their expressions brightened when his eyes opened.
"What?" Gerard asked he tried moving his hand to rub his face, but his right hand began throbbing. There was a stabbing feeling of a IV needle.
"Thank God you're awake." Mikey blabbered, he actually began sobbing into Bert's shoulder.
"You died." Bert said, he wrapped an arm comfortingly around Mikey's shoulders.
"What?" Gerard asked, he gave them a confused startled look.
"You fucking died!" Mikey snapped. "You overdosed! You fucking overdosed! I thought you were done with fucking coke!" Mikey screamed. Gerard flinched at his tone. Gerard looked at Bert who gave him a hard expression, like a 'if you tell him in going to slaughter you.'
"Mikey..." Gerard said quietly. He wanted to say why and how he got it.
"You've been with us this whole time! How'd you get it?!" Mikey asked, he almost sprang at his older brother to shake him. "Did you get it in Manhattan?!" Mikey growled.
"I didn't." Gerard said, he looked away from Mikey. "I'm sorry..but I can't tell you." He added quietly. Mikey grunted and stomped out of the hospital room. Gerard sighed and looked around. No one but Bert was in the hospital room with him. And right now, he wanted to strangle Bert.
"Smooth move overdosing." Bert said sarcastically. Gerard wanted to hit him so hard. He sat up slowly. "And! You got alcohol poisoning. Did you even think anything through?" Bert asked.
"Fuck you." Gerard snapped. He took a deep breath, he had to calm down. He was a grown ass man, he had to calm down. "Fuck you, Bert." Gerard said, he had to put his non-IV hand underneath his leg so he didn't lash out.
"It was your doing Gerard! None of mine!" Bert said, he raised his hand as if to prove his point.
"Fuck you! You know I have a fucking problem! You fucking knew! But you got me into it!" Gerard shouted, he actually gave into his anger and got up shakily and shoved Bert. It even ripped the IV out of his hand and he kind of shrieked. Bert stumbled back. "Why?!"
"If you were smart enough you wouldn'tt have gotten back into it!" Bert replied.
"I fucking hate you." Gerard snapped. "I'm gunna fucking kill you." Gerard threatened, he punched Bert.
"Gerard." Mikey said, he stood in the doorway with Frank. They both had wide eyes and glares at Bert.
"I'm leaving." Gerard said, he put on some clothes and took a bunch of the things he had stuck to his body off. He tried to rip the hospital bracelet off, but he gave up. He began to rush past Mikey and Frank, but he collapsed onto his brother.
"Bert get out." Frank ordered, Bert wiped his bloody nose and nodded. He shuffled past them. Mikey helped Gerard back to the hospital bed and helped him sit back down.
"Was that true?" Mikey asked looking at Gerard with hopeful eyes. Gerard nodded and Mikey hugged him. Frank was looking at the wall. His expression confused.
"Why'd you give in?" Frank asked.
"Frank...you know its an addiction of mine." Gerard answered, Frank gave him a small nod. "I couldn't...help myself I guess. But..I guess its all my fault." Gerard mumbled. He hugged Mikey and rested his chin on his shoulder. He sighed.
"I love you, Gee." Frank said, he glanced over his shoulder.
"I love you too." Gerard replied. "Can we leave?" He asked. Mikey nodded and he and Frank and gerard left the hospital room. They went to the front desk of the hospital and got Gerard signed out.
"The bus is not too far." Mikey said as they walked out of the front doors. "We are probably gunna end the tour with The Used now and I think there is one that we got invited to." Mikey told his older brother.
"What band?" Gerard asked, he felt fine enough to do shows already. Mikey shrugged.
"Dunno yet, but we don't have shows until friday." Mikes' told him.
"What's today?" He asked.
"Wednesday." Frank answered, he linked his hand with Gerard's and gave him a smile. Gerard smiled back and pulled Frank closer and wrapped his arm around him.
"Maybe things will get better?" Gerard stated, he was kind of asking himself. Mikey gave him a small nod and they approached the tour bus that had a big white decal of the MCR logo on the side of it now. Gerard smiled to himself.
