Gerard and Mikey walked together, the two had stopped and gotten Starbucks together. They were just taking their time, taking a break from everything.
"We have to be back, Mikey." Gerard mumbled, Mikey wrapped a lanky arm around Gerard's shoulder.
"Gee, we're taking our time. Who gives a hell about the bus right now. You're in a bad mind set, you can sober up, then we'll go back." Mikey told him. Gerard leaned his head on Mikey's shoulder.
"Why is this so hard again?" Gerard asked hoping for a good answer.
"It's life. It has to its ups and downs. You're just in a down part of it." Mikey answered, Gerard sighed, he hated the answer, yet he knew Mikey was right.
"I've had a lot of life downward, though, Mikey." Gerard muttered, Mikey stopped and stood in front of Gerard, their eyes locked.
"But you stuck through it! Gerard, you're in a band! your dream came true because you haven't given up!" Mikey said. "We're all proud of you, Gee. You've made it so far."
"Mikey!" Gerard said in a harsh tone. "I can't do this anymore! I can't do it!" Gerard shouted.
"You're giving up?" Mikey asked, Gerard shook his head.
"you know I cant give up, Mikes'!" Gerard said with a small smile. "It's just so fucking hard." Gerard mumbled.
"I believe in you, Gerard. You're strong, Gee, I Dont think you always realize it though." Mikey said hugging Gerard. "Wanna head back to the bus?" Mikey asked, Gerard nodded. The two of them began walking back.
____________________________________
Gerard and Mikey got in the bus around midnight, Bob, Quinn, and ray were all playing cards together in the main part of the bus. Jeph and frank were talking to Brian. Mikey went to watch Ray kick ass after sharing a look with Gerard.
Gerard squeezed around the cluttered guys back to the bunks and changed into some black and grey plaid PJ pants, and a worn Batman shirt. He went and sprawled on the couch. Bert walked in, drunk and giggling, he went and sat on Quinn and kept whispering into his ear like a little girl telling secrets to her crush.
Gerard laid there and Frank jumped over the couch landing lightly on Gerard. "Gee!" Frank squeaked clinging to Gerard tightly. "god I missed you! Are you alright?" He asked.
"I'm fine now, Frankie." Gerard said wrapping his arms around Frank, he hummed lightly into his shoulder. "Everything will be alright." Gerard murmured. He wished it would be true, but he had a feeling it wouldn't be. He knew there would be more nights like this, where he runs out because he's too drunk or high to think straight. He knew more stuff would go down with Bert and the little white powder line.
"Brian said we could take a day off tomorrow if we wanted." Frank said.
"We have a show tomorrow, we can't miss it. I don't wanna let people down." Gerard said, Frank Nuzzled against him. Gerard noticed Bert looked over at him, a expression of mischievousness along his face. The two of them locked eyes and Bert winked and blew a kiss at him.
Gerard lifted Frank off of him and walked with him to the bunks, they both got up into Gerard's bunk cuddling together. Gerard fell asleep instantly.

a/N: sorry for any mistakes, I decided to be an idiot and type all this on the watt app so it doesn't correct things all the time.
anyway, the dedication goes to my brother who got the lyric challenge correct. congradulations, MikeyWikey.
Lyric Challenge:
" Yeah, you, you miserable father
The one who ignored me for half of my life
Now I, I can't even look at you
Why? Why? Why?
Don't abandon me now
I don't want to die!
You can lead him to the ambulance
But you cannot make him live
No, you cannot make me live!
You can lead him to the ambulance
Lead me home!
But you cannot make him live"
