After The Break Up

Chapter 47

Frank's P.O.V

I struggled against the restraints as I shouted out. "GERARD."
Hayley rushed forward and used the end of her gun to poke Jonathan. When he didn't respond, she checked his pulse. Then she put the gun away and pushed his dead body off of Gerard. I froze as I watched her check him over.
"The bullet hit him in the stomach. " She said. She checked his pulse. "His pulse is weak. But he still has one. Get these fucking cuffs off and get the paramedics here, now." Everyone sprang into action as Hayley leaned over Gerard. "Come on, Gerard. Don't give up. Not now. Bandit needs you. Frank needs you. Fight it, hon. You can do this."
As soon as I was freed, I rushed to Gerard. "Don't leave me, baby." I cried as I stroked his cheek. "I don't want to go on without you. Please, baby."
I was pulled away by Hayley and two policemen as the paramedics took over.

Bandit's P.O.V

I watched Frank as he stared at the floor infront of him. Dad had been in surgery for ages now. I'd lost count how long. Frank had been sat in the same position, in this waiting room since we'd arrived at the hospital. He sat with his hands knotted together, hanging between his open legs,his head down. He looked.....lost. Broken. Everyone was here. But no one approached him. Anyone that had tried, had got a deathly glare. I stood up and walked towards him. Stopping infront of him, I sighed. He looked up at me with the same deathly glare.
"That look doesn't scare me." I pointed out. "I know you only want Dad. I understand that. But until you can have him, I'm here. You need someone to hug you right now. So until Dad can do it, and he will make it, I'm going to hug you. If you don't like it, take it up with Dad when you see him."
Frank smiled, sadly and opened his arms. I didn't hesitate to wrap my arms around his waist.

Mikey's P.O.V

I smiled as Frank and Bandit sat hugging. I'm so proud of my niece. First she helps find her Dad and Frank. Then she breaks down Frank's barrier to comfort him. Such a smart girl. So much like her Dad. I looked at Frank's face. He looked so broken before Bandit spoke to him. Now he actually looks like there's hope.

Frank's P.O.V

I didn't know what to feel. Bandit made me believe that Gerard's going to be okay. But I can't help that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. I hope to god it's wrong. Without Gerard, I'm nothing. I hug Bandit back. She's a piece of Gerard. She's even got his smart mind. So whats not to love? I know I wind her up a lot. But I really do love this girl. But right now, hugging her is just a way to be close to the man I love. To my Gerard.

Gerard's P.O.V

I could see my Grandma. She was smiling at me. Her hand outstretched to me. Waiting to guide me into the light. I smiled as I walked towards her. Then I heard a voice. I paused to listen, frowning.
"Don't leave me, baby."
I looked down, through the clouds, to see Frank, crying. He was sat by my hospital bed. It looked strange. I could see myself, hooked up to various machines.
"Please, baby." Frank pleaded.
I felt a tear roll down my face.
Frank leant forward and wiped my the tear away.
"You can hear me, can't you?" Frank cried. "Don't give up, baby. I need you. Bandit needs you. She told me you won't leave us. Don't prove her wrong."
I looked back at my Grandma. She smiled.
"You have to make the decision, sweetheart." She said. "Stay with me or go back to your life?"
I looked back down at Frank. He was resting his forehead on my hand as he cried.
"I love you, Gee, baby." He sobbed. "I miss you so much."
I looked back at Grandma. "But I don't want to leave either of you."

Frank's P.O.V

I drifted to sleep. Dreams of Gerard laughing and singing. It was a brilliant dream. Until it was interrupted by a loud alarm. My eyes flew open as I realised it was from the machines around Gerard. I stood up, fast, looking first at Gerard, then the monitor.
"NO." I shouted as I saw the flatline. "GERARD, NO."
Nurses burst into the room, ordering me out.

Mikey's P.O.V

I saw nurses rush into Gerard's room. Frank was leaned against the wall, across from the door, staring at the floor and crying.
"NO." I screamed as I froze.
Frank looked over at me.
"Uncle Mikey?"
I turned to see Bandit, staring at me.
I shook my head. My mouth opened, but closed immediately.
Bandit shook her head. "No." She said, sadly. "No, no, no, no."
