After The Break Up

Chapter 44

Gerard's P.O.V

I woke to Dad's voice speaking quietly to someone.
"We have to find Frank." He said as he stroked my hair. "If we don't find him soon, we're going to lose Gerard. I can't lose him, Mikey. I can't lose any of my boys...." He broke off into a sob.
I sat up, quickly and pulled him into my arm's, not dropping the photo of Frank. Mikey joined in.
"Frank's coming back." I said as I pulled back. "So everything will be okay." I smiled.
Dad sighed. "What if the worst happens? What if they k...."
I pushed him away. "Frank's coming home." I snapped as I stood up and glared at him. "He's coming home to me. We're gonna get married and spend the rest of our lives together. I'll never give up on him. If he dies, I die too. And no one will stop me. Because without Frank, I'm nothing." I march past them and rush into the bathroom, locking the door behind me and leaning against it as I sit on the floor.
Fuck all of them. Frank's coming home. He's coming home to me. He has to. I have to believe that. I know he's coming home. Isn't he? What if he doesn't? What if they do...kill him? What if he's already dead? I can't live without him.
I stand up and head to the medicine cabinet.

Frank's P.O.V

I watch the monitor's, closely. Gerard is losing it. I need to get to him.
"Morning." My fucking captor greats me as he walks in and sits infront of the monitor's. "How's my Gerard doing?" He looks at the monitor's.
Gerard has filled a glass with water and has several pills in his hand. Oh fuck. No.
"You have to warn them or there won't be a Gerard for any of us." I snapped.
"Without you, Frankie, I don't want to live anymore." Gerard said, then popped all the pills in his mouth at once and drank the water.
"GERARD." I screamed.
My captor shot to his feet and ran out.
I couldn't keep my eyes off Gerard as he put the glass down and slid to the floor, smiling. Oh god. Please, Gerard. Please be okay. Tears streamed down my face.
"I'll see you sooon, Frrrraaannnkie, bbbbaaabbbyyy..." Gerard slurred as his eye's began to close.
"GERARD." I screamed. "Stay with me, baby." I struggled harder against the restraints.
"I lllooovvveee yyyooouuu, FFFrrraaannnkkk..."
"I love you too, baby." I cried.

Mikey's P.O.V

I heard Gerard slurring behind the closed door. That doesn't sound good.
"HELP ME." I shouted as I charged at the bathroom door.
Two uniformed officers, Dad, Hayley, Bob and Ray rushed in to help. It was Bob and a big officer that finally broke the door down.
Gerard was leaned against the bath, head down, eyes closed with empty pill bottles in the sink.
I cried out as I rushed forward. Tears streamed down my face as Ray helped me position him over the toilet bowl so I could force him to be sick. Bob grabbed him around the waist for extra support as I forced my fingers down his throat.
"Don't you fucking give up on me, Gee." I cried. "You said it yourself, Frank's coming home. He will come home. Even if I have to search day and night. I'll bring him back to you. I promise. Just don't die, please."
I kept repeatedly forcing my fingers down his throat. After several tries, he finally threw up. Dad turned on the shower and backed away. When Gerard had finished being sick, we moved us all to sit in the shower base. All three of us hugged him under the cold waterspray. All fully dressed. But neither of us cared.

Frank's P.O.V

I sighed, shakily, with relief. Thank god for Mikey and the guy's. I closed my eyes as I tried to calm myself down. When I opened them, Gerard had come round and was crying in the guy's arms. He was in Mikey's lap. His head on his shoulder. Bob had a arm round Mikey and was stroking Gerard's hair. Ray had a hand on Mikey's other shoulder and was rubbing Gerard's back. Mikey had a arm round Gerard while he held his hand.
"Why, Gerard?" Mikey asked. "Why did you do that?"
"Because I can't live without Frank." Gerard sobbed.
"But you already said he was coming home."
Gerard nodded. "But what if he's d...dead already?" He sat up and Don turned off the shower. He tucked his knees up to his chest and hugged them. "What if I never see him again?"
I was expecting Mikey to snap. But to my surprise, it was Ray. He grabbed Gerard by the shoulders and forced him to look at him.
"Now listen here, Gerard Arthur fucking Way." Wow. He's really serious now. "Frank is alive. And if he could, he'd walk over hot coals to be at your side...."
"He's crazy enough to walk over hot coals anyway." Bob injected.
Ray glared at him and he looked bowed his head.
Ray turned back to Gerard. "Wherever he is, I guarantee he's trying to get back to you. Because your the love of his life. You have to get your Shit together. It'll kill him seeing you like this." He stood up and dragged Gerard up with him. "Get a fucking shower then meet us in the kitchen." He ordered. "I'll make you some food. You will eat it. Then you will get some sleep. Some proper sleep. You'll sleep on the couch so we can keep an eye on you. Bob's staying with you at all times."
Bob's mouth dropped open as he stared at Ray.
"I'll sort the house and do the cooking while Mikey, Don and the cops search for Frank." He sent a death glare around the room. "Any problems?" He snapped.
Everyone shook their heads. Even the big cop was staring in shock.
"Good." Ray looked back at Gerard. "What about you?" He asked, softer.
Gerard frowned. "Do you really think that Frank's coming home?"
Ray smiled. "Of course he is." He lowered his hands. "He's probably already pissing them off. They'll end up throwing him out. After all, Frank's the most annoying midget around."
I grinned. I'll remember that, princess fro.
Gerard smiled, slightly. "I guess I better get ready for when he does then."
