The Only Hope For Me Is You (Ferard)

Chapter 4

"Oh my, Gerard." The poor guy, no wonder he's in here. Was that Ares I encounter in the resting room? So his personalities are based off of Greek gods. Does that mean for Gerard to trust me I have to befriend all of his personalities? My thoughts were cut off by someone walking down the hall. Throwing the file back and dashing down the hall, I got out of his office before, whoever was coming, walked in.

"Hey, kid! You're supposed to be in bed!" The bulky nurse yelled. He marched over to me, took my arm, no very nicely I must say, and dragged me to an all white room. There was a sink, a mirror, and a bed with one pillow, and one sheet. "Here's your room." That's all he said and he was gone. I vaguely remember light out by 10 P.M. So when they turned off there was no surprise.

I couldn't sleep. My mind was full of weird thoughts and strange feelings. By the time it was breakfast, I think I got 30 minutes of sleep. I went looking for Gerard, but he was nowhere to be seen. Patrick waved me over, since I probably looked like a deer in headlights. I walked to the table. I was in no rush.

"I know what you saw last night." Patrick harshly whispered. I tilted my head in confusion even though we both knew what he meant. "Come on. Tell me. Now." Very demanding.

I just opened my mouth when I saw Gerard walk in the room. He had this look of anger on his face. I couldn't hear Patrick talking, I was too focused on Gerard.

"You know he's actually crazy right?" Bob said. I nodded my head and walked to where he was.

"Frank, right?" Gerard said in a pretty enthusiastic voice. I nodded. "Well I am Gerard." I nodded again. This surprised me because he never talked before, but now he's really confident and quite loud. He started walking to a table in the back of the cafeteria. I think he wanted me to follow him. 

There was a two person table in the back of the cafeteria. He sat down and pushed the chair across from him with his foot.

"Now tell me, Frank." I tilted my head in confusion when he said that. "Come on! I know. You read my file. You know I don't care," he paused for a minute, "I'm just like you, Frank. There's no reason I should be in here." I was so confused. How can he say that if there are other people living in his head. "How come you were so chatty when we were in the resting room and silent now?" What happened to you? I wanted to ask, but I don't like talking. "What? Cat got your tongue? HAHA I always wanted a cat." He just kinda stared off into space for awhile. "Can we be friends, Frank?" Wow. That was quick. I didn't even have to throw some good old-fashioned  Frank charm on him. "But I won't trust you." What?! I was so confused. Who says stuff like that? Crazy people that's who. Frank! Friends! Be friends with him, remember?! Oh no! "They're" back. Why? I thought "They" were gone. Gerard waved a hand in front of my face. "Frank are you okay?" I nodded my head. "So will you be my friend and not be trusted?" It's a strange request, but "They" said I should, so I nodded my head.
