After The Break Up

Chapter 48

Frank's P.O.V

I slid down the wall to the floor. After several minutes, a grey haired, tubby nurse walked towards me. I looked up at her.
"Mr Iero." She said. "It seems that Mr Way flatlined for a while...."
I stood up, fast. "Wait...what? A while?"
"Yes, Mr Iero. Mr Way flatlined. But we were able to bring him back."
Mikey and Bandit ran towards me.
"He's.....alive?" I asked, shocked.
"Yes, Mr Iero. Infact, he woke up." The nurse smiled. "And he's asking for his daughter, his brother and you."
I cried out, then rushed into the room. I stopped by the door and stared at Gerard. He turned his head, slowly, then smiled, weakly.
"Fr...Fran...k." He said, quietly.
I rushed to his side and kissed his lips, briefly."I thought I'd lost you." I sobbed.
"Ca...can't get rid o...of me that e...easy." He stuttered.
"Dad."
Gerard smiled as Bandit moved to stand beside me. Mikey straight behind her.
"H...hey, sw...eetie."
Bandit smiled. "I knew you'd make it." She boasted. "I knew you wouldn't leave us."
"N...no, honey." He looked at me. "I'd n...never leave any of y...you."
Mikey put his hand on Gerard's. "Why is he stuttering?" He asked the nurse.
She smiled as she rested a hand on Gerard's other hand. "Your just a little tired, aren't you, sweetie?"
Gerard nodded, then looked at Mikey and turned his hand to hold his brothers. "I s...saw Grandma." He said.
Mikey leaned forward to hear better.
"S....she said she's p...proud of us. S...she said she's w...waiting for us. B...but we should t...take our time. L...live first. A...and she l...loves us all."
Mikey smiled, a tear in his eye. "I miss her so much."
Gerard tugged Mikey's hand, weakly. Mikey took the hint and hugged him.
"S...so do I." He admitted.
Mikey moved back so Bandit could hug her Dad. She sat on the bed and put a hand either side of him so she couldn't hurt his wound. Then she rested her head on his shoulder. He closed his eyes and kissed her head.
"I love you, Dad." She said as she pulled away.
"L...love you too, h...honey." Gerard said as she kissed his cheek.
He watched as they said see you later and left. Then he looked back at me.
"Can I stay with him, please?" I pleaded to the nurse.
She smiled. "This is a private room." She stated. "So I don't see why not. I'll have the couch set up for you."
"Thank you." I said as she left the room. I grabbed Gerard's hand in both of mine. I kissed it then rested it against my cheek. "I love you so fucking much."
Gerard smiled, weakly. "I l...love you too, Fr....ankie." He gave a weak tug on my hand. I climbed on the bed beside him. Being careful not to touch his wound. He rested his head on my arm and stared into my eyes as I laid on my side, staring into his eyes.
"Fr...ankie?" He said after several minutes.
"Yeah, baby?" I stroked a stray hair away from his face.
"M...marry me?"
"We're already getting married, baby." I mused.
"N...no. I mean....n..now. Here. In the h...hospital. T...tomorrow."
I frowned. "But, baby. Don't you want to wait till your better?"
"N...no. I don't want t...to wait any more. P..lease, Frankie?"
I smiled as I looked into his eyes. I couldn't deny him anything. "Okay, baby." I said as I stroked his hair. "I'll do what I can to get it sorted for tomorrow." I kissed his forehead as he closed his eyes. "Now get some sleep."

Mikey's P.O.V

I sat in my car outside my house and cried with relief. I thought I'd lost my brother for a brief time. That was horrible. The thought of never seeing him again was the worst feeling ever. Gerard is everything to me. He's not just my brother. He's my best friend and my idol. He's kind of my muse too. I'd be nothing without him. He'd disagree, of course. He keeps telling people that I'm really talented, but I don't know how talented I actually am. Of course I don't agree. Gerard got all the talent. He's just too modest to admit it.

Frank's P.O.V

After Gerard fell to sleep, I carefully moved off the bed to go talk to the nurse. I found her just outside Gerard's room, carrying a pillow and blanket.
"I have your bedding, Mr Iero." She informed me, smiling.
"Frank, please." I smiled back. "Thank you." I took the bedding from her. "Can I ask your help with something, please?"
"Of course, Mr...Frank." She said, excitedly.
"Well we, Gerard and I, were due to get married, but I was kidnapped...."
The nurses face dropped. "Oh dear. I'm sorry. I didn't know about any kidnapping."
I smiled. "It's okay. Our manager would have kept it secret...."
She frowned. "Manager?"
I laughed. "I guess you don't recognise us."
"Actually, I've seen Gerard's face on my daughter's posters. But never asked who he was." She grinned. "But I did tell her how cute he was. Still is. Your a lucky man."
I grinned. "Thanks." I said with pride. "Back in 2001, we started a band. Along the line, we changed our drummer. So our band members were, Bob Bryar on drums. Our friend, Ray Toro, on lead guitar. Gerard's brother, Mikey, on bass guitar. I was the rhythm guitarist and Gerard was lead vocals."
"I take it you were popular."
"Yeah. Very. My Chemical Romance was, and still is, very popular. It was actually Gerard's idea. He set it up after he witnessed the fall of the twin towers. He calls the band 'an idea'. He says it's to save lives. It has, strangely enough. The band split in 2013. But we're back."
She frowned. "My Chemical Romance?" She smiled. "I have heard of you. My daughter plays that song.....err.....I'm Not Okay.....all the time."
I smiled. "It always was a popular choice." I sighed. "Anyway. Gerard wants us to get married.....today."
"But what do you want, dear?" The nurse, Delia Yates, according to her id badge.
"I want to marry him now too." I admitted. "I've been in love with him since I first met him. I waited sixteen years for him. Then when we finally got together and planned our future, I was kidnapped. What I want is to marry the love of my life and finally be happy."
Delia smiled. "Okay, hon. Let's sort this."

Notes

Come on. If you've read my stories before, you'll know that I don't like killing off any of the guys from MCR. Especially Gerard.
Love as always. xxx
