Queen of Hearts

Life's a b-

"Dude. You let him beat you up again?!" Ray asks as the trio walks home.

"I can't do anything about it."

"So youre just going to give up?! Is that how you feel about life?!"

"Well, Life's a b-" Frank slaps Gerard as soon as he says that.

"Don't talk like that, moron."

"Woah fiesty much?" Ray laughs nervously.

"Im not letting my best friend kill himself!"

"I never said I was going to kill myself-"

"Well it sure as hell sounded like you were."

"Frank I was just being... frank."

"Can we not make that joke.." Frank says, annoyed and holding his head in his hand.

"It is a good joke. Sorry man.." Ray laughs nervously.

"Oh shut up afro." At that Frank walks home, anger evident in his every move.

"Jesus Christ who pissed in his fruit loops this morning." Gerard says, watching his friend with wide eyes.

"I dunno. I think it has something to do with you."

"Me?! What did I do?!"

"I dunno, ask Frank that."

The two shrug, walking home.

Gerard walks inside to see a sticky note on the table.

'Im at the hospital, dinner is in the fridge. Dont forget to study for your test on Friday.
Love, mom'

"Your kidding." He says, running out and all the way to the hospital.

"Oh. You saw the post it note?" Donna asks.

"Yeah?! What happened?!"

"Mikey had another fit."

"Mom this has got to be more than just bronchitis."

"I know but how else can they do testing."

"X-rays?!"

"They did those-"

"Damn it mom he probably has severe asthma!"

"You- you might be right. But wouldn't that show up on the x-rays?"

"It should have. This doesnt make sense."

"Dont tire yourself on it, just go home and relax. You've probably had a long day. I'll call you if anything happens." Donna smiles.

"Mom, I cant-"

"I promise I'll call."

"Alright, but you better keep that promise." Gerard says, walking out.

'I wonder what Lindsey is up to right now..'
