Gerard stumbled, he was walking somewhere, he had no idea where. He was shivering, the cold air snapped his skin giving him a numb feeling in his hands and arms. He turned down an alley and came to the back entrance of a bar. He pushed through the door.

The inside was full of people, full of strangers. He sat himself in a corner and kept his head down hiding his face behind his hair. A waiter came up to ask his order, he asked for their strongest drink. When Gerard got it, he stared at it. He stared at the coloured liquid as it reached the brim of the mug with a slight foam. He thought to himself, asking why he was doing any of these things. To himself.

Gerard drank, he drank so much until the tender escorted him out. Gerard walked a bit more, traveling aimlessly, not knowing where he was going. He ended up sitting down in an alley close to another bar. A few people walked by, grimaces on their faces towards him. He knew he looked bad, he knew he was looking like a wreck.

His phone was going off like crazy, but he knew it woul dbe Frank or the other band members. He ignored their calls. He ignored every one of their calls. He didn't want to talk to them, he had no reason to.

Gerard dozed off lsightly until someone nudged him to awake-ness. He looked up to see Mikey, his younger brother looking at him wiht a worried look behind his glasses. "C'mon Gee, get up." Mikey said kneeling down to grab Gerard's arm.

"No." Gerard refused, he tried to pull away, but Mikey got a strength to get Gerard on his feet.

"Bro, I'm taking you to the bus." Mikey said, he held Gerard's arm tighter and began to walk wtih him. "I've been looking for you. It's been two hours." Mikey said.

"I don't want to go back." Gerard snapped, he planted his feet firmly and Mikey was straining to pull him. "I can't do this, Michael." Gerard said. Mikey stopped tryin g and locked eyes with him.

"What are you saying?" Mikey asked.

"I can't do this! I can't go back! I'm letting you all down!" Gerard answered.

"You don't let us down, Gee. Think about all those kids who look up to you! You're their hero!" Mikey said. "Gee, you'll be fine in a couple days." Mikey whispered. Gerard sniffled and pulled Mikey in for a hug.
