My Way Home Is Through You (Frerard)

Chapter 33

Frank had only been asleep for about ten minutes when Ray came in, telling me I was probably going to need to get some coffee, that then was a good time to leave, because they needed to do some tests on Frank, to check whether he needed all the machiens and drips or not. He claimed that, if I wanted to be awake when Frank was I would need something to keep me awake, as Frank would probably be awake for hours, when they woke him up an hour later, after they had run the tests. Obviously I didn't want to watch them with needles and also didn't want to leave once Frank was awake again, I agreed now was probably a good time.

Having to tell the nurse at the reception, where I was going and whether I was leaving the hospital or not, I made my way to the elevator heading down to the ground floor for the cafeteria. Walking past the same women at the reception to get to the cafeteria, I looked away from her, repressing my thoughts, I was with Frank then, he was okay, Kyle was fine everything was okay. Smiling at the thought I continued through several hallways of rooms, the rooms that are just for overnight patients, or maybe patients needing mental attention.

The cafeteria was quiet and relaxed, quite, calm and tranquile, I sat down there for a while, I both did and didn't want to sleep, I certainly wanted coffee though, that would help, although I wasn't sure it would definitely keep me awake. To begin with I was unsure of whether I wanted my coffee in a mug or a paper coffee cup, I didn't know if I would stay or go back with the coffee, I eventually decided on a paper cup, because I could still drink that in the cafeteria or go back if I wanted. My fear was that I would get back and Frank would already be awake, I had promised I would stay right by his side and I wouldn't go anywhere, I may have been told to leave, but I didn't want anymore distrust at all and I didn't want him to be sad.

Having only been sat down for about ten minutes, having only drunk half of the coffee, I got up deciding I would take a leisurely stroll back, giving them time to test on Frank, but being back within the hour in case. Staring down at my feet, I watched as each foot stood on a different colored tile as I walked, I wasn't paying much attention, just thinking of how perfect everything could soon be, as I stared at the floor and my feet. I hadn't noticed the women pacing the hallway before me, not noticing her, and her not noticing me, until we walked into each other and the remained of my coffee, tipped down my clean white shirt, summed up my day really.

"Fuck." I muttered, picking the cup up from the floor and using some tissues from my pocket to soak up as much as I could.

"Gerard? Oh gee, thank god." I looked up immediately seeing Hannah in tears above me, crouching down to help me, "I'm sorry, I-I ju-"

"Hannah, wh-what are you doing here?" I asked standing up and walking her to the side of the hallway so we could talk, it would be an obvious first idea to why she was here - Frank, but we both knew she wasn't allowed in to see him so it gave me a reason to wonder why she would be here.

"Oh God, I-I don't know how it happened, I don't really understand it was fine one minutes and then it, just wasn't, I don't know why." She cried grabbing my wrist and dragging me through some double doors and to a door, where none other than Kyle was sat, cross legged, tears staining his pink cheeks and his arm wrapped up in gause.

"What." I just began to cry, nothing was going right, that day was a terrible day for the Iero-Way's that I knew. "Kyle?" I exclaimed bursting through the door.

"Daddy!" He cried looking over the moon and so happy to see me, like he hadn't seen me in years and he thought he never would again. I just hugged him as close to me as I could, his legs wrapping around me as he just clung to me like a monkey, I was so confused and so devastated, I didn't understand anymore.

"Someone explain what's going on." I demanded, sitting down on the bed, Kyle sat on me still hugging me, me still hugging him, I soon felt his tears dampening my shoulder.
