Title : our lady of sorrows - MCR
TEN YEARS LATER
Gerard's p.o.v
I can't believe it. I'm in such a state of shock I can barley move. I... I just can't. My heart is racing and I don't know what to do with myself. I feel the tears threaten to fall and I know everyone around me feels the same. None of us can really believe what we're seeing.
"I, Mikey way, promise to love and cherish you, Kristin, through sickness and through health, until the day I die."
I can't fucking believe Mikey getting married.
I look around and I see glowing happy faces of family and friend as we watch Mikey and his bride walk back down the isle, newly wed. "That was so cute."
I look down and smile at the beautiful boy beside me smiling goofily after my brother. His eyes were shining bright and I knew I was the luckiest man in the world to be able to call this man my husband as of last year. Who would've thought both the way brothers would be married and dare I say... happy.
"You're so cute." I reply cheesily. Frank looks up and grins at me before kissing me.
"Ew, you guys are gross." Bandit says, holding her hands over her eyes, we smile at her apologetically and I ruffle her hair before standing and walking to the wedding reception. Frank and I adopted a child a couple years back, and it's been one of the best decision I've made. Frank is currently playing his guitar with various bands, and one of my comic books has been turned into a tv show. Things are going well for us.
We take our seats at the table with Mikey and His new wife On it and I know it's time for me to make my speech. I brought my knife to the glass and clink them until everyone is quite.
"Hello everyone, I know I'm the only thing between you guys and food right now so I'll try and make this quick." I say, receiving a few chuckles from the crowd. "Mikey way, well.. where to begin. My brother has been one of the most influential people in my life. Deep deep... deep down under his amazingly impressive poker face, is a kind kid who was always there for his big brother, when he really shouldn't have needed to." Frank gives my hand a squeeze and I see Mikey smiling at me. "This man over here, deserves all the happiness in the world, and with Kristin, I think he has found it. So everyone, I'd like you all to show your appreciation for the newly wedded couple!" I say, my words quickly followed by cheers and claps. I know I'm shaking a bit from the anxiety of talking but frank is quick to hold my hand steadily and kiss my cheek.
"I love you." He says
"I love you too." I reply, knowing that I mean it and will mean it for the rest of my life.
Looking around at all the happy people, laughing and smiling to their family, brings me back to when Frank I weren't anything like that. When we contemplated ending it all because we lacked that happiness in our lives. All I can say is I have never been more thankful for that night we're we decided not to jump, because look at where we are now. We're happily married with a child. It was a hard battle but it was worth it. Standing up and walking away from that ledge was one of the hardest things ive ever done, but seeking help and finally reaching out to family and therapy groups, saved our lives. And of course, the man who's hand I'm holding helped more than anyone.
We really did look after each other.
