Franks POV
"I just told him you were hurt and he said he was on his way." I couldn't believe it. Gerard had never gotten angry with me. "Frank how could you do this!?" Gerard snapped. "What did I do?" I let him go and shrunk back. "Mikey is going to be so angry!" Gerard wouldn't look at me. He covered his face with his hands. Suddenly he looked at the back of his hand. Gerard gulped and stared at all the IV's that was in him.
Tubes and needles were piercing his skin. Suddenly he fainted and doctors and nurses soon surrounded him. They pushed me out and made me wait outside the door. Mikey and Ray were coming down the hall way. They held hands as they walked up to me. "Is he okay?" Ray asked as they stood next to me. "Yeah. He noticed the IV's and fainted so we have to wait a bit." Mikey looked me in the eye and asked "What happened, Frank?"
I didn't know what to say. Oh your big brother shot himself, yeah that sounds good. I looked down trying to think. "Frank!?" Mikey yelled my name making me jump. "I... he..." I stuttered still un-sure what to say. Mikey grabbed my shoulders and pushed me onto a wall. "Damn it, Frank what's wrong with him!? What has happened to my brother!?" He cursed me and Ray grabbed Mikey's shoulder. "Mikey let him go." Ray said in a calming voice. Mikey let me go and hugged Ray.
The doctors and nurses came out of Gerard's room not saying a word. I ran up to a doctor and asked "May we see him?" he answered calmly "Yes, but one complication. When he fainted he was sent into a deep sleep. Not exactly a comma but we aren't sure when or if he will ever he'll wake up. I'm sorry son." and he walked off. I ran back to the door to Gerard's room. I looked at Ray and Mikey and I opened the door and we all three filed in. Mikey gasped and Ray said "Oh my God..." Gerard looked like hell. Worse than before they had pushed me out. Mikey shoved his face in Ray's shoulder and cried.
"It's okay..." Ray said trying to calm him. Mikey mumbled something and Ray hugged him tight. Gerard groaned and we all stared at him. He mumbled something in his sleep. Mikey walked away from Ray and towards Gerard. He stood over him and stared. It was silent. Too silent for my taste. Mikey eventually broke it and grabbed Gerard's hand and asked "Whats happened to you?" I watched as Gerard squeezed Mikey's had. I was instantly filled with excitement. "Oh my god he moved!" I squealed as Mikey and Ray looked at me strangely.
I told them what the doctor said to me. Mikey looked down at Gerard and sighed. He let Gerard's hand go and looked at me. "Please Frank tell me what happened." Mikey begged. Then I remembered that Gerard had written him a note. I reached in my pocket and pulled it out. "He wrote this for you." I handed it to Mikey. Mikey began to read it and sunk to his knee's. He covered his mouth and flipped the paper over reading more. "What's it say?" Ray asked.
Mikey handed it to me and cried. It read....
'Dear Mikey, I love you so much. You're my bro and always will be. But I'm not going to be around for your journey because I believe I have to end mine. Mom and Dad aren't coming home. They don't want us. I called mom and she said I would be arrested if I called again. I'm sorry Mikes. Stay strong baby bro. I'll watch over you. Make sure Frank keeps the house. I want to make sure he always has a place to run to. Be there for each other. Love, Gee'
"Oh my God..." I sank next to Mikey. "Frank..." Mikey sniffed out. I looked at him. "Yes Mikey?" "How did he try to kill himself?" Ray sat down next to Mikey and held him. "He... he shot himself." I folded the note up and handed it to Ray. Mikey cried into his shoulder. Ray read the note and let a tear fall. He hugged Mikey tight.
(4 MONTHS LATER)
I had been sitting here for months. I refused to go home with out Gerard. Gerard hasn't woken up and the hospital wants to take him off life support today. Mikey and Ray haven't visited in weeks. The only sign of life from Gerard is the heart monitor beeping and an occasional groan. I stood over Gerard and stared as a million thoughts crossed my mind. "I'm so sorry Gee bear." I petted his hair back and my eyes began to tear up. I bent down and kissed his lips for what might be the last time. One of my tears fell on his cheek. I choked out shakily "Don't leave me baby, please."
I pressed my forehead to his and cried. I grabbed his hand and cried harder. "Please baby please you gotta wake up. For me, please." A nurse walked in. "Mr. Way will be taken off life support at nine pm tonight. I'm sorry." And she left. I looked at my watch and it was already eight pm. I squeezed his hand and cried as hard as I could. "Gerard please. It's me Frankie. You have to wake up. Please don't leave me." I placed my forehead on his and closed my eyes. I choked out "I need you to survive."
Gerards POV
I heard everything Frank was saying. I had to wake up. I was with Bert again. He stood in front of me. "Bert I've gotta get back. Please you have to help." I begged as Bert stood in front of me. He shoved his hands in his pants pockets. "I'll try Gerard but it won't be easy." he walked off and I could feel Frank on me. His hot tears on my face and his forehead on mine. I felt his hand in mine. "Frank..." I sighed. Bert came back several minutes later with a happy smile on his face.
Franks POV
I looked at my watch. It was eight fifty. I laid next to Gerard. We were face to face. I put my forehead on his and held my tears back. I closed my eyes and a few tears slipped out. "I love you Gerard." I placed my hand on his cheek and cried. I squeezed my eyes shut. "I love you so much Gee. Please..."
