A/N you probably already hate me and if you don't now you will after you read this ♥

When Gerard woke up once again, he heard a constant beeping sound and he could smell chemicals and bleach.He was in the hospital. When he opened his eyes, a doctor, his mom, and Frank we're sitting across the room, talking low. When Gerard sat up, everyone looked over a rushed to him.

"Agh, " Gerard groaned. "I have a headache. "

The doctor excused himself to grab some medicine for Gerard's headache and Gerard looked right at Frank.

"Why am I here? "

Frank reached out and brushed his fingers over his cheek.

"You had a nosebleed and you passed out. So you're here. "

Again.

Gerard looked around and saw a mirror and looked at himself and saw a faint red line below his nose, but he looked normal other than that.

The doctor entered the room again and Gerard forced a smile.

"So, " Gerard said as he swallowed the pill the doctor handed him. "When do I get out? "

The doctor gave Gerard a look then looked at Frank and his mom.

"Gee, " Frank said slowly ,"They think it's best you stay here for a while. Y'know?  So they can run some tests. Only for a couple of days. "

Gerard jumped up and shook his head vigorously.

"No!  I'm fine!  I'm not staying here and dying. I'd rather be at my fucking home with people I actually like! "

Frank rushed over to Gerard and wrapped his arms around him as the taller boy cried into his shoulder.

"I don't wanna stay, Frankie. I wanna be with you and Mom. Please? "

Frank heart broke and he held his world in his arms.

"Ms. Way, " Frank said looking over at her ,"Please? "

The doctor and Ms. Way walked out to talk and Gerard looked down at Frank.

"The nose bleed," Gerard sniffed, " It was because of my cancer, wasn't it? "

Frank nodded. "They think you have Leukemia."

Gerard sighed and sat on his bed. "I don't wanna suffer. I don't wanna go through treatments when I'm never gonna get better. "

Frank sat beside Gerard and let him keep talking.

"If it gets too bad, I want you to promise me something, Frankie. "

They locked eyes and Gerard smiled even though he was crying.

"Always know I love you, okay?  I do. I always will. No matter what. Even if I'm dead. "

Frank let out a sob and pulled a crying Gerard into his lap and they both cried into each other's shoulders.

"One more thing, Frankie, " Gerard whispered. "Let's just pretend everything is okay. It'll make it easier, y'know? "

Frank kissed Gerard's cheek and nodded.

"Yeah, " He forced out.

Gerard pulled back and looked into Frank's eyes.

"You're so beautiful, " Gerard whispered. 

Frank smiled slightly and kissed Gerard.

"Not as beautiful as you, Sweetheart. "

The next morning was Sunday, so Gerard and Frank didn't have school. They made plans to stay home and watch random movies while, of course, drinking coffee. I'm sure you can guess whose idea that was.

Around twelve that afternoon, Frank got a call from his mom.

"Who's that, " Gerard asked, walking into his bedroom using a towel to dry his hair, as he just got out the shower.

Frank's face was unreadable. "It's my mom. "

Gerard looked at Frank and nodded. "Answer it, but have it on speaker phone. I wanna hear. "

Frank rolled his eyes at Gerard but still did as he suggested.

"Hey, Mom. "

There was a sigh of relief before his mother spoke.

"Frank, oh thank god you're alright. "

Frank smiled. "Yeah, I'm fine. No thanks to you. "

He heard his mom breathe in, probably regretting calling her son, and that made Frank laugh.

Frank sat on Gerard's bed, followed by Gerard who sat beside him.

"So why'd you call? "

There was a pause before his mom replied.

"I've been thinking. Maybe, " She paused. "Maybe you being... What you are isn't a bad thing. "

Frank rolled his eyes. "Yeah, you've already given me your opinion on my sexuality so I see no reason for you to try to be nice now. "

Mrs. Iero sighed. "Frank, me and your father acted unreasonably. "

Frank sighed. "Look, Ma, I've gotta go. Love you. "

He hung up and looked at Gerard. "Should I give them another chance? "

Gerard nodded. "You only have a limited time alive. Go ahead and fix this. You'll be glad you did later. "

Frank kissed Gerard softly. "You're so fucking perfect. "

Gerard blushed and kissed Frank back.

I'm far from perfect, Frank, Gerard thought as he watched Frank type something to his mom.
