Frerard: I'm Not Afraid To Keep On Living

Chapter 4: Blood

Autumn's POV:

"Daddy. Why did you have to be so mean to Gee? He was just pushin me on da swing?" I try to be too cute cuz Daddy always tell the truth then, I know what really happened.

"Well, sweetie, Daddy was just really worried about you... That "Gee" did you think he was scary?" Scary? Please, dad. What am I, 2? No I'm 6 and he should treat me like that!

"No. He was very nice and I wanted to cheer him up, he was sad."

"Now, honey, you know Daddy doesn't want you running off to places with... People who you don't know..."

"But, Daddy. When you turned around I saw Gee crying. You yelled at him and made him even more sad!!!" I throw my arms out and sigh cuz he doesn't get my point.

"Well, I wouldn't of had to yell at him if he had just asked you where I was, if he did that then I would of said sorry..." He was feeling kind of guilty now, I could see it. And if it's that obvious for a 6 year old to notice it, imagine other people...

"But he did ask, I just didn't answer I wuz having too much fun, Daddy!"

"Oh. Well... Um..." He was speechless I could tell, he had nothing to say becuz he told me you can't change the past only learn from your mistakes and go on with life, even as a princess.

"I saw him fall down no the sidewalk and I wanted you to stop and help but... You were busy, talking to mommy..."

Daddy had nothing to say to this so I looked back at the tv and went to go help Dora get the Buga Buga back to its babies. But then my head hurts, "Daddy, why does my head hurt?"

^*~*^

Gerard's POV:

I woke up because I heard a loud crashing sound, when I opened my eyes I saw Mikey, my brother, and that one guy in the ambulance.

"Owww. Shit that fuckin' hurt. Oh, dude! You're awake!" Mikey punched me on the arm, and even though he's really weak, that actually hurt.

"D-Dude. Stop, that hurt." I whimper out I know how weak I sound but, right now I couldn't careless because I'm around two people, well one for sure, who don't care about if I'm "cool" or not...

"A-Are you okay? I saw you f-faint in the ambulance... And I got the medics on you right away...." He was stuttering each time he talked, which is explainable, he might be a very shy person and I'm just some random guy who was laying, passed out, on the side of the road...

"Yeah. Man, I'm fine, I just can't handle that red stuff that's inside of us..."

"You mean blood?" Mikey was laughing but, I was starting to gag. I can't help it, b-b-bloo-d I just can't deal with it...

"M-Mikey. You shouldn't be so rude to G-Gerard. He's you're brother and he's in the hospital! Isn't that bad enough?!!!? He already doesn't like people laughing at him so why do you do that NOW?!?!?" The mystery guy was up and out of his chair and looked very upset with Mike. I guess he really does care about me, that was the first time I ever saw Mike have to do a double-take, it was hilarious!

"Hahaahahaahaahaaa" I couldn't stop laughing, but the mystery guy said:

"I'm going to go get a coffee." And stormed out the door, slamming it shut.

"Well, then... Hey I brought you a comic book, you know... if they don't let you out soon." His voice trailed off and I wondered why, I just remember falling on the ground in a ball but, the tone in Mike's voice told me otherwise...

"Dude, is there something really wrong?" I couldn't tell from my point of view because of how I didn't want to move my head to look.

"Ummmm, somehow you broke you're arm when you were fa-"

"I BROKE MY ARM?!??" No. No. No. No. No. No. No, I cannot have a broken arm, especially if it's my playing arm! I'm writing songs, damnit.

"Bro, it's you're playing arm too." I finally lean forward to see the real damage, I really did break it...

I try to get my mind off of that and focus on the scene that the guy caused with Mike.

"Do you even know that guy? Like, he was in the ambulance with me but, he still hasn't told me who he is..."

"Yeah. That's Frank Iero. He goes to our school, he's kinda lame though, doesn't have many friends, except me and a couple of other guys."

So, it's Frank, I guess I should thank him later but thinking about what Mike just told me, I don't know if this friendship could work out with our different social groups, maybe I don't know now....

"Hey guys. Sorry about earlier, Mikey... I just don't like it when people make fun of another person...." He brought back two coffee's and a water bottle, handed the other coffee to Mike and he grimaced and looked at me expectantly while he took his first sip and licked his lips.

"Shut the fuck up, man" I snarl at him. I know that Frank got me the water because coffee isn't good for people normally, let alone hospital patients.

"Thanks, Frank." I say as he hands me my water, and he looks back at me with, at first, a surprised look then, a smile.

"Welcome, Gerard." And Mike bursts out laughing.

"HAHAHAAHAA. YOU DONT KNOW HOW CHEEZY THAT JUST SOUNDED!!!!it was like you two were one of those old couples XD" What the actual fuck, Mikey. I still think he's insane, but you know, no one sticks around long enough to realize that it's true...

"What the hell, Mike..." And we all started laughing at Mike because he was now snorting as he laughed... God, that really is my brother...
