Diseased [Frerard] [Petekey]

Chapter 22

Frank- 

So many things happened all at once. All I could comprehend with my clouded judgement was 

1) Loud noise.

2) Gay slur.

3) Boss gets cut.

4) More loud noise.

5) Gerard fell out of his bar stool and curled up into a ball. 

Gerard began trembling and had short breathing that was concerning. A response person in the ambulance came in and loaded Pete onto a gurney while he continued to wonder what was wrong in his drunken state. Mikey was over assisting Gerard already as they took his boyfriend away.

Suddenly, I tried to get down and help Gerard, but when I pushed myself off the bar stool, I fell straight to the ground. Being drunk was not something I did very often, especially of this momentum. Mikey pushed me away, demanding me to give him space.

Brendon and his crew stood behind Mikey, staring scared-ly. The people with the gurneys came back and the police followed. The crazy old man ran around in circles like a mad man with the broken bottle with an ear deafening screech. 

The police took him into custody and a few others began to ask questions. Gurney guys came over to Gerard and tried to pick him up.

"Get out of here, you'll just make it worse", Mikey hissed at them.

They refused and tried to pick him up anyways.

"What the hell did I just say?" Mikey demanded to know. "Put my brother down. NOW". 

"Sir, the doctors are supposed to do what is best for a patient", one of the meds informed Mikey.

"And this is his brother and he knows what he's doing", I told them.

"Sir, what is the reason for your brother to be passed out", the medic asked. "Alcohol? The sight of blood?"

"Actually, I'd rather talk to you guys outside for this one", Mikey looked around at the crew he came with.

"Yes sir, and we'll take your brother to get air", the other medic said.

"Okay, I guess thank you", Mikey shrugged, following the persistent medics. 

When they were out of sight, everyone began to buzz as officers asked questions.

"What did Pete do?" I asked aimlessly.

"He was dancing with Mikey and accidentally knocked over this hobos beer. So he took the broken bottle to his neck", Spencer informed me.

"What the hell", I couldn't believe my boss just got cut.

We waited a few more minutes in silence before agreeing to go outside. The medics were gone and they had left Gerard. At least they left a blanket for him in the cold weather. Mikey sat on the sidewalk stroking his hair. 

"You guys go back in and have fun, I need this alcohol to wear off before I can drive home. Can someone get me some crackers or something?" Mikey asked.

Jon quickly went to retrieve some. Mikey threw his jacket onto Gerard. He instantly began to shiver against the winter air. 

"Hey, I have a hoodie in the car if you want to put it on Gerard", I said.

"Really? Thank you so much", he smiled.

He unlocked his car and I ran to retrieve it. When I came back, Brendon and Ryan were gone. Spencer, Jon, and Dallon watched as Mikey stroked Gerard's hair and ate his salty food.
