You're my what?! A Gerard Way Fanfiction

Bathroom Trip to the Gurney

Gerard

Jadis grabbed her hoodie, and messenger bag. She came over to me when she was ready. My wife stood on my right, happily. I gently placed my arm around her waist, surreptitiously pulling her closer. Mikey and Alicia stood close by in the entrance hall. I opened the door, and we stepped out into the miserable autumn drizzle. Lyn-Z and Alicia had decided that a nice day out would do us good. A little family bonding time, they'd called it. So we tramped our way down the street on our way to God knows where.

"Here we are!" Exclaimed Alicia, as we stopped in front of a small little café. Inside were merely a few elderly couples, who didn't pay any attention to us.

"This is Ali's favourite café." Mikey groaned in my ear.

"It's so cute, and quaint! I love this place!" Alicia clapped her hands excitedly. The eager movement triggered an eye roll from Mikey and I. We shuffled into the tiny place apprehensively; but were grateful all the same for the warmth inside. We got a few gawking stares from younger customers around us, but nobody really cared who we were. At least that's one good thing about this place I thought. We sat down at a large table and ordered some hot drinks. The beverages arrived, and I took a nice sip of coffee. Jadis sipped appreciatively on her hot chocolate. The group relaxed, and we started chatting.

After about twenty minutes of chatting, Jadis stood up abruptly.

"What's the matter, Jay?" I asked her, concerned.

"I need to go to the bathroom." She told me, wriggling. I stood up and followed her to the ladies room. I stood outside, leaning against the doorframe. I listened intently. The slightest sound of disaster, and I would be in there.

After what seemed like a reasonable amount of time to go to the toilet, Jadis still hadn't returned. I started to panic. My hands shoved the door open and I rushed into the women's bathroom. My heart leapt to my throat. Jadis was slumped against the wall, blood all over her. Her eyes were shut and the only movement was her chest moving with her deep laboured breaths. Beside her, her glasses laid, smashed. I reached for my phone, and buzzed Mikey.

"Dude what's-" Mikey stopped midsentence, as he wandered into the bathroom. His eyes fell on Jadis. Honestly, I was frozen. My eyes brimmed with tears, and I felt them run down my cheeks, but I couldn't move to her side. All I did was stand there, dumbfounded, and wishing that I was dreaming.

"Mikey?" Alicia called from the hall outside the toilets. Mikey managed to tear his eyes off Jadis, and go talk to Alicia. While he explained to Alicia the situation – and hopefully called an ambulance – I succeeded in directing myself over to Jadis' side. Kneeling down beside her, I gently grasped her bloody hand. I could just feel her weak pulse.

It wasn't until Mikey put his hand on my shoulder, did I realize he was there. As I looked up at him, I noticed that Alicia was with him, crying. Just as I stood up, a team of paramedics ran in. They gently lifted Jadis onto a stretcher and took her to an ambulance. I jumped in the back, and Lyn-Z followed. Together we rode to the hospital.

We were forced to stay in the waiting room, as they rushed Jadis into the emergency room. The entire time I was huddled up in a dull, old chair. I had my knees pulled up to my chin, and I was fighting back the tears that threatened to over flow. My wife sat next to me, comforting me throughout the wait. It was soothing having her presence, but I just wanted to curl up in a corner, and weep. During the wait, Mikey arrived with the others. Together, we sat and waited impatiently.

After what seemed like hours, a greying doctor walked out and spoke to us.

"She is in a stable condition," He told us. I thought this was good news, but the doctor didn't look happy.
