My last chapter was shit, I know here's the make up chapter.
Andy's POV
Mrs.Way said a few things to Mikey that I couldn't make out from where I was standing. He looked at her and his eyes filled with tears as she continued to talk. Vic looked concerned and kept glancing between the two, "No!"
Mikey yelled and fell on his knees sobbing into his hands. Vic kneeled down immediately and started stroking Mikeys back immediately making me slightly jealous and I went over to the small group.
I got down next to him and gently began fixing his hair which was now messy from him nervously pulling it. "Hey baby, come on its alright. Everything's gonna be okay." I soothed as Vic continued to rub his back.
I couldn't get mad at Vic for being nice and he did seem like a good guy, I don't think he wanted any trouble.
"Mrs.Way, we need to speak with you and your son if that's alright."
Mikey stood up and cleaned his eyes, straightening his figure he followed his mom and the doctor into a hallway. "Thanks for going in after Gerard," I said to Vic who smiled at me.
"Oh, it's no problem man." He said and offered to go outside for a smoke which I gladly took the opportunity. I loved Mikey with all my heart and I'd do anything for him but right now there was nothing I could do for him.
Mikeys POV
"There was an unfortunate discovery in Gerards ex rays." The doctor said quietly examining the clipboard in his hand and I immediately felt sick to my stomach.
"All the water was removed from his lungs, and he's on support so he is receiving oxygen and he isn't in life or death but there's a problem. During the crash Gerard must have changed his mind and once the car got underwater he put up a struggle. His ribs snapped during him trying to break free and stabbed his left lung. He is bleeding a lot and it's being rerouted back into him so he's not loosening blood. However, before he passed out from the pain or took in the water and drown he was in extreme pain, and when he wakes up he will probably be in shock. Gerard had to have been terrified when he was trying to break free and suddenly couldn't move. It'd be terrifying of course to anyone."
My mom was holding together well but I was looking at the ground biting back tears. "He's been having panic attacks. His body still thinks he's in danger and his brain thinks he's dead. When we wake him up there's a small chance he may die.. very slim chance but it has happened."
I wanted to get up, leave, and never come back. I felt like I was helpless, which really I was. There was nothing I could do for Gerard and nothing I could do to take it back.
As I was sitting there it came to mind that all I really wanted to do was sit next to Andy until Gerard came to.
For once as I was sitting here and I had absolutely no romantic thoughts towards Gerard. It kind of hurt, it felt like I was breaking away from a part of me and it was a little scary. Was I going to forget Gerard? Romantically he had been the focus of my life for two years and now I was pushing him off because of some random guy who came into my life. "Wake him up." My mother said and I looker over at her, Gerard could have a heart attack and you're giving this man permission to take that risk?
My mind was a million different places at once and for the longest time all I wanted to do was curl up next to Andy.
"Okay. I'm going to ask you both to wait out in the waiting area and we'll call you back to speak to Gerard when he's ready." I felt like I was just purposely ripped apart and thrown down as I stood up and walked back into the waiting room.
Andy and Vic were just walking back in, once Andy caught a glimpse of me he walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me.
I felt safe and at home so I just leaned into him and let him lead me to the seats. Vic smiled kindly at me and I nodded, he did a great thing for the Ways and he didn't even know them.
Gerards POV
I tried to move but there was nothing but darkness around me and I couldn't feel my body. I didn't want to die, once I got off the bridge the image of Mikey and Andy standing at my funeral with the worst looks on their faces crushed me.
I was trying to fight my way out when the car hit the water and my abdomen was thrown hard against the wheel, a sharp pain overtook me and it was so horrid and terrifying that I passed out as the water flooded in and surrounded me.
Was I still underwater? I felt like it was suddenly to late and I had just left Mikey alone in the world. Like I had just crossed from home to hell and there was no leaving.
There was a sharp pain in my stomach as light struck into the darkness. It was only a flash but suddenly I could hear muffled sounds and I started trying my best to move. Then something hit me, I needed to scream. So if there was anyone around they'd see me or hear me, and find me.
I took in what I think was a breath and screamed so loud it seemed to break all the barriers surrounding me and light came through and sound was clear. In one huge flash I had my eyes open and there was a doctor holding my arms repeating the words, it's okay.
I leaned against the bed and sighed. I started crying, just crying silently because I could. Because I was still alive and nothing could stop me from crying.
