Deathbed (Frerard)

(Gerard's P.O.V.~)

I sat there right next to him, with my head in my hands. I've been sitting in the hospital for the past week, sitting right beside my husband, Franks, hospital bed. But it's more of a deathbed than anything else. Frank was diagnosed with Cancer a few months back, and I honestly thought he was getting better. But last week he collapsed while we were out on a date might, and it scared the living hell out of me. After doing some tests on him, the doctors told us he won't last much longer in his condition...They've given him a few days left to live. I've never left his room, for anything. My brother and our friends would come every single day to visit him and bring me food. I wasn't gonna leave his side. Fuck that. I rubbed my face with my hands and looked up at the love of my life.

My heart sank when I took in his appearance. His body was fragile and sickly looking, his eyes were sunken and looked ghosty, and his already pale skin resembled that of a corpse. My husband was dying in front of my eyes, with every second that passed. He was hooked up to a bunch of machines, with needles stuck in his arm. He was currently sleeping right now, but I was scared he wasn't gonna wake up. I reached over and took his pale hand in mine. He groaned and his eyes slowly fluttered open. He looked over at me and smiled a little. "Hey." He said, his voice dry and hoarse. "Hey." I replied, lacing my fingers through his.

"How are you feeling?" I asked, trying not to cry at the sight of him. He shrugged and said "Not sure..Has the doctor told you anything new?" I shook my head and said "No, nothing yet." He sighed and asked "Where are the guys?" He said "They're in the cafeteria. I asked them to go, because I wanted to be here alone with you." He nodded and he said "You look tired." I nodded and said "That's because I haven't slept for four days..Sleep does nothing for me, right now.." He said "Gerard..You need to sleep. No offense baby, but you look like hell. I'm fine, I promise." "No you're not, Frank! you're not okay! I can't sleep at night because I'm watcing my husband, die in front of me! They gave you only a few days left to live!" I snapped, a tear rolling down my cheek.

He squeezed my hand tight and said "Please Gee, don't cry..I hate seeing you like this. It breaks my heart." That makes two of us. He started coughing and after he finished, he sighed. "Gerard, look at me." I looked up from the ground, and met his eyes. "I can't stay here, anymore..My life here is coming to an end, and I need to go.." Hearing that just made me cry more. "What happened to, "I'm just fine", Frank?" I asked, my eyes locked onto his. He said "I can't deny it anymore, Gee..I just can't...I don't want you to be here, alone."

I sighed and said "Well then, I'm coming with you." He shook his head and said "Gerard, don't-" I cut him off by leaning forward and pressing my lips to his, kissing him softly. He kissed me back, and I pulled away, pressing my forehead to his. "I want to, Frank..I can't live without you." "But..But what about the guys? What about Mikey?" I said "I'll write them a note saying I'm sorry..But I wanna e with you, forever baby..I love you." I kissed him again and he said "I love you, too...How are you gonna-" "I brought some sleeping pills from home..I've been taking them so I could try to sleep, while I've been here."

He drew his eyebrows together and asked "I thought..I thought you quit.." I said "i did. But I haven't taken a lot." He nodded and asked "Are you sure you wanna do this, Gee?" I nodded and said "I'm as sure about this as I was, when I agreed to marry you." He nodded and said "Okay." After writing a note and leaving it on a table by the door, I opened the bottle containg the pills, and poured almost all of them in my hand. I crawled onto the bed next to Frank and took a deep breath before taking the pills, downing them with water.

I felt the effects kick in instantly, and smiled at the thought. I laid down and scooted closer to Frank, until our noses were touching. He kissed me and said "I'll see you on the other side, babe. I love you." I smiled and said "I love you, too." He closed his eyes and sighed, a small smile on his face as his heart monitor flatlined. He was gone. My love of 10 years, was gone. My vision started to blur, and I could feel my body begin to fail. "I'm right behind you, Frankie.." I said, closing my eyes, and letting the welcoming embrace of death, consume me.

(Mikey's P.O.V.~)

"Hey guys, I'm gonna go check on Frank and Gerard." I said, getting up from the table we were sitting at. They nodded and said okay. After a while of walking, I finally reached Franks room, and knocked on the door. After getting no reply, I knocked again. Still, no reply. I figured they were both asleep, but still wanted to see if they were okay. I opened the door and asked "Gerard? Frank? You guys okay?" I walked in and heard a long beep coming from inside the room. I walked over and saw Frank's heart monitor with a flatline that continued on for what seemed like forever. "Frank?! Gerard?!" I ran over to the bed and saw Gerard was laying down next to Frank, on his bed.

I tried shaking Frank awake, but it wasn't working. I tried waking Gerard, but he didn't move a muscle. I felt for a pulse on Gerard and felt all the color drain from my body when I saw, he had no pulse. I felt tears sting my eyes and saw a bottle of pills in my brothers hand. That's when it hit me...He overdosed. I went to run out of the room and saw a piece of paper sitting on a table. I picked it up and saw it had Gerard's handwriting:

I can't live without him, Mikey. I love you and I'm sorry it had to be this way.

Forgive me.

-Gerard
