Tony's POV:
I look over at the hospital bed to see Frank's lifeless body under the blanket. I make sure the door's closed as I walk over to him.
Frank is under there, right? I have to check.
I slowly pull the blanket away and see a pale man with black hair covering his face. I move his hair carefully and pull away in shock as I hold back a scream.
His eyes are completely white, rolled all the way back into his head and the eyelids are wide open.
I start to cry as I place my hand on his chest, tracing the love heart. I can hear Gerard crying painfully outside the door.
I close Frank's eyelids and kneel on the floor next to him.
"I'm so sorry Frank" I cry "You never deserved any of this, I never deserved you" I pray on his chest as I cry over him.
I never got to say goodbye, nobody did.
Gerard creaks open the door and comes in, still crying.
I turn to him and squeeze him tightly as we cry together.
He stops hugging me and looks over at Frank. He leans over the bed and hugs the unconscious body of Frank while crying loudly into his chest.
"Come back!" he starts yelling into his chest "Come back Frank!" he starts shaking Frank and just rests on his chest, sobbing.
I rub his back while he mourns Frank's body.
"I love you Frank, please?" He holds Frank's hand and kisses it, still crying.
I look over at the life support machine, not working... Why would it anyway.
The doctor comes back into the room and walks over to Gerard.
"We of course don't want this to get into the media, so I advise you not to talk to the people outside" she tells him. He stares at her as he stands up.
"You did this! You didn't help him!" He shouts at her as she backs away.
"Sir we did everything we could" she calmly responds.
"Well You didn't do enough! Did you? Because my best friend is dead!" He screams at her. She is quiet and starts to look down at the ground as her eyes water.
Gerard walks past her in a rush and slams the door as I hear him run through the corridor.
I hug the doctor as she starts to cry.
"I am so sorry" I apologize to her. She smiles and wipes her tears.
"No, it's okay" she tells me as she stops hugging me and pushes me away. I smile back at her as I walk out of the room.
Alice and Gerard are holding each others hands and pressing their fore heads together while they cry.
He didn't get very far.
I look over to the window as the sun starts to rise.
Ray and Mikey are also crying together.
There are a bunch of paparazzi outside and 8 reporters from 8 different news companies.
Frank won't be exploited for TV, I'm not letting that happen.

Frank's POV:
I can hear crying, lots of painful screams and cries. But I am in the complete darkness.
There is a light but it's so far away, so far above. A mist clears as I see a huge staircase. It seems endless, I climb the stairs, running faster and faster as they start to curve.
I feel a pressure on my chest and wet drips of something on my cheek. I look up to see that it's raining. Where ever I am, it's raining. The pressure on my chest spreads to my hands and I feel a warm touch on my ice cold skin. As I climb further up the steps and start to get closer to the large source of light the stairs start to get longer and they start to shake violently, I almost fall off the edge of the stairs but continue running towards the light. I WON'T GIVE UP! I feel the stairs start to calm down and they become a straight path, twisting out of shape. I start to run faster as I look behind me to see a huge cloud of darkness following. The large space echoes with the anguished screams of a male voice.
"Come back!" what?
I'm getting closer to the light but I feel the darkness dragging me back as I continue to struggle, trying desperately to reach the tunnel of light.

Gerard's POV:
I feel my chest starting to hurt as I cry more and more. Alice squeezes my hands as she too cries loudly.
I feel my heart breaking with every tear. Soon I'll have nothing but a cave, no emotions, no heart... Nothing, I will be a hollow shell.
I hug Alice as we walk over to Mikey and Ray. Mikey wipes his eyes and I sit down with Alice on my lap. Alice cries on my shoulder and Mikey and Ray are hugging each other.
I dry my eyes.
"I think we should still do the coffee shop gig" I speak up with a hoarse voice "Frank... Would've wanted us to" I continue as Alice grabs my shirt and cries harder.
Mikey smiles at me and dries his eyes as Ray let's go of him.
"I think you're right, he deserves the right goodbye" Mikey agrees.
Ray stares at me for a while and then he nods.
"We should do a tribute show" I explain "With all of Frank's favourite songs" I smile.
"But, Frank won't be playing guitar... We need a new guitarist" Mikey sadly tells me.
"We'll play the songs without his parts..." I trail off and look down.
Without him...
I feel more sadness drench me as I think about doing a show without him.
Alice wipes my tears and I hold her hand on my cheek, I smile at her as she comforts me.
"Thank you Alice" I whisper as she hugs me.
Alice just smiles sweetly but starts to cry again.
I return her comfort and hug her kindly as I finish.
"I guess Frank has officially joined the black parade" I say with a slight smirk. Alice smiles and puts her hand on her heart.
I start the verse as I start to tear up.
"When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city to see a marching band" I dry my eyes as I raise my voice from being quiet, Alice continues holding her heart as she stands up.
"He said son when you grow up will you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned" Alice sings loudly, I admire her sweet tone and smile as I start singing with her.
"He said will you defeat them? Your demons and all the non believers the plans that they have made" Alice and I continue in unison.
"Because one day I'll leave you," Ray and Mikey join us "a phantom to lead you in the summer to join the black parade" by this point all of us yelling out the lyrics.
We start to shout "When I was a young boy, my father took me into the city to see a marching band! He said son when you grow up would you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned" everyone continued to sing outside of Frank's room, laughing and... Generally being happy. I know Frank will be at peace when he joins the black parade. And when he does we'll carry on...
