"Frankie," Someone calls and I want to respond, but I can't...I can hear people talking, but I can't move nor see anything. Everything is black and it's terrifying.
"Where the hell is Melcom?" someone else questions and I recognize the voice as Mikey's, everything else after that is blurry and distant, but there's this one voice I keep hearing, that's constantly calling my name in distress and that someone is lightly hitting my cheek in an attempt to wake me up.

After what seems like forever, I finally see something... it's blurry, but still visible and I can make out Gee's and Mikey's face.
"Frankie are you okay?" Mikey questions and Gee slaps his arm lightly "Let him wake up first," he says and that's when my sight finally clears. "I'm good," I inform after a few seconds and they help me up, Gee supporting me by my back "Where's Melcom?" I question as look around the boiler room "He went into spontaneous combustion," Pete as he points to a pile of ash in the exact same spot Melcom stood just a couple minutes ago.

"It's over isn't it?" Gee questions as we exit the boiler room "Melcom is dead, he won't be a problem anymore," Jaime informs and I look at them "But what about his son? I'm pretty sure he's going to do something," I point out and they look at me in shock, their faces screaming that I'm right.
"Well, he won't do anything now, so let's not think about that...we have to celebrate being alive right now," Pete, suggests and we nod in agreement, before Jaime says his goodbyes to the group and disappears towards the party to see Kellin again.
Mikey and Pete do the same and Gee looks at me. "Do you still want to the party?" he questions and I nod "It's over and we're alive...let's celebrate – like Pete said," I respond wrapping my arm around his neck and kissing his cheek, making him smile lightly.
"Then let's go," he says before we make our way towards to the Party.
We walk into Pete and Mikey and greet them before making our way to the dance floor.

"You're sure you're okay?" he asks for what seems like the 100th time in the last five minutes we've been dancing, "I told you I would be fine," I smile and he shakes his head while rolling his eyes lightly, making me chuckle and kiss him. "You're adorable," I whisper and he smiles "You're not bad either Mr. Franklin Iero," he mocks before kissing me.
"I love you, you know that," I admit trying to talk over the music and he looks at me in shock and I'm thinking to myself 'Shit, I've ruined it...he hates me now,' but 'no' what he says is not what I expected at all "I love you too," he says back and I smile and breathe in relief.'
"I'm gonna get us something to drink, okay," he suggests and I nod in response because I'm thirsty "Sit down champ," he adds motioning to a table behind me, before disappearing into the crowd.

"They didn't have anything other than Pepsi and Punch, so this'll do," Gee informs as he hands me a glass of Pepsi "Come on, stand up big guy," he adds and I do as told, and I'm felling kinda dizzy, but I'm not let him know, I don't want him to worry about me.
"Here's to us...cheers," I say "Cheers," he repeats, but before I can take a sip of my drink, my sight goes black.
