My Favorite Coincidence || Frank Iero x Reader

You thought I wouldn't come back huh?

Y/N pov:

after I went home I quickly made an excuse to cover up my absence, they luckily bought it and didn't really say anything. And that was that. I planned on visiting him the next day, so I probably have to tell my parents I'm gonna be hanging out with my friends. 

Andddd thennnn, the next day came. And for some reason when you are waiting for something you are excited about, time goes really damn SLOW. Good thing I had my good classes today! god, I love my odd-day schedule. After five long ass hours, I finally had my last class, and my very favorite. Piano. A great way to end my school day before going to visit a great guy I guess.

The bell rang, finally. I quickly walked out of my school gates, not even bothering to talk to my friends, and strolled my way in the direction of the Hospital. I walked into the automatic doors which were extremely loud for some reason, and to my surprise, (not really), It was completely empty. But that just gives me more reason to do this! 

¨Hi Berta! I am so sorry about yesterday, to be honest, I didn't even know who the heck Frank was, I just strolled in here, and by chance just guessed a name correctly! I got scared when you talked to me and I just randomly blurted out that I was visiting someone, Which I know I'm blurting out a lot of words right now in this very moment also, but yeah!¨ I quickly said using up all my air, causing me to take a deep breath after I was done talking. 

¨Ok... blabbermouth. I don't even know half of what you just said but I'm just gonna assume you wanna visit again, correct?¨ Berta said with a teasing smirk on her face. 

¨Well, I should've added that, But yes! I do want to um... Visit again.¨ I said while fidgeting behind the desk and trying to not make eye contact. 

¨Well just go on honey, I don't have any more blank paper to write you a visitor's pass. and I sure as hell ain't getting up to go to that dang printer.¨ She said as she lazily sat back in her chair while eating a whole tub of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. Dang, I wish I was her right now. 

I went back on my mission of going to visit Frank. I walked up the same flight of stairs and got lost, yet again. But I soon found his room. I knocked on the door till I heard an unfamiliar voice saying, ¨come in?¨ I hesitantly walked in to find Frank and the same doctor from yesterday. I said hello to the doctor as he seemed fine with me visiting while he was in there, then walked around to the same chair I sat in. Frank looked bad, sickly. I knew he had cancer and stuff but seeing him like this honestly made me feel sick. He had an IV in his arm and a needle in his other arm extracting blood. 

¨Hey Frank how ya doing?¨ I asked, knowing he probably felt like shit. But I still asked just to be considerate. 

¨Like hell.¨ he groaned out but still looked at me and smiled. Probably just trying to make me feel better about what I was witnessing. Which, led me to let out a fake chuckle. 

¨You are gonna have to do a lot more than just smiling to convince me that you are feeling at least a little bit ok.¨ I said jokingly which caused him to laugh then looked back up to the ceiling, laying a hand on his chest. 

¨Welp, Yeah. I feel like shit. But you know what? I'm feeling at least a bit better now that you are here. I didn't think you would wanna come back.¨ He said smiling to himself. I thought I even caught a glimpse of his doctor smiling but maybe I'm just seeing things. 

¨Why wouldn't I come back?¨ I asked, raising an eyebrow.

¨Because I'm a cancer patient.¨ He said almost as if he was genuinely thinking that you cared about that. 

¨So? A friend is a friend.¨ I said before asking, ¨So why are you drawing blood?¨ 

His doctor butt in on our conversation, ¨Just making sure everything is alright and that we see some progress when it comes to chemotherapy. and don't be alarmed! He only looks bad because of lightheadedness." He said as he wrote down something on a paper that was attached to his clipboard.  ¨Which reminds me, could you go down and ask Betty for some crackers and juice? I assume you know who she is because you wouldn't be here if you didn't ¨ he laughed under his breath as I quickly smiled and nodded and walked out of the room. 

Franks Pov: 

¨she seems nice enough. And you got your wish huh? She came back.¨ My doctor, Miles looked at me and gave a frisky smirk.

¨whats that face for huh? Ya think I like her? cuz I don't. I've only known her for a few days.¨ I said defensively. Maybe a bit too stern in the moment, ¨Ok that was a bit too harsh, It's not like I don't enjoy her company and don't wanna be her friend, but I've only known her for a day. There is no way of telling if she's gonna stick around, I'm trying to not get my hopes up.¨ I said in a disappointed tone. Miles looked back at me with a sad sigh then went back to writing god known what on his paper.  That's when she walked in again and gave me my snack. I think she could sense the tension in the room because she went quiet, almost like she didn't know what to say. the rest of the visit was nice till she left me again to go back home. 

¨ Don't Give up on yourself Frank. I don't like hearing you talk about expecting people to leave you just because of your condition.¨ Miles said sadly.

¨Well, my parents already don't care enough to visit me so why should anyone? Huh?¨ I said annoyed. I didn't like living my life every day waiting for my cancer to take over and kill me off, but I couldn't help but just wait to see what fate had in store for me, and ontop of that my parents don't even try to lay off work for ONE DAY to visit me. So yeah, no one should blame me for feeling at least a bit hopeless.
