Mikey's POV

I park my car a few feet away and walk over to the bridge. And before you jump to conclusions, no, I am not going to jump. I come here when I need to clear my head.

What the hell have I done? I thought to myself as I sat on the railing with my back facing the water. I looked out at the city and sighed. A few cars drove by and after about half an hour on of them stopped in front of me. "You alright?" the old man asked as he rolled down his window. "Yeah, I just came out here to clear my head. I hurt someone that I really care about." I mutter. "Well if I've learned anything in my 70 years it's that if they care about you then as long as you apologise everything will be fine." he said as he drove away. I nodded and jumped a little when I saw Gerard walking towards me. I felt my weight be pulled back as I lost my balance and fell off the bridge and into the water.

Gerard's POV

"Mikey!!" I screamed as I ran towards the place that Mikey had fallen from. I looked down into the water and panicked when I didn't see him. I called an ambulance. When they got here they searched the river for Mikey and after a minute they pulled him out. The paramedic started chest compressions and eventually he started breathing again but he didn't wake up. They put him on a strecher and allowed me to ride to the hospital with them. When we got there they rushed him in and made me sit in the waiting room. I sat down and called Frank. "Hey Gee, where are you?" he asked. "The hospital. You guys need to get over here." I respond. "Why? What happened?" he questioned. "I'll explain when you get here." I sigh. "Alright. We'll be there in a minute." he says. I pull the phone from my face and hang up.

Quinn's POV

I wake up when I hear footsteps rush up the stairs. Frank opens the door and I can see the worry on his face. "You need to get your shoes on." he tells me. I nod and walk to my closet. I grab my white convers and pull them on. "What's going on?" I ask as I walk down the stairs with Frank. "Gerard called and said that we need to get to the hospital." he tells me as we head out to the car. I slide into the back seat with Kai and pull my seat belt on. "Where's Mikey?" I ask as panic slowly sets in. "We have no clue." Ray tells me as we drive off. When we get to the hospital I rush out of the car and into the waiting room. I look around for a moment and my heart sinks when I see Gerard sitting alone. "Where's Mikey? Is he ok?!" I ask as I run over to him. "They took him back there." he says as he points to the double doors that were set into the wall. "What happened?" Frank asks as he, Ray, and Kai walk over. "He was sitting on the railing of the bridge. I was going to talk to him a-and he fell back. I don't know if it was o-on purpose or not." Gerard explains. Anger boils in the pit of my stomach and I walk out into the parking lot. "God damnit!" I yell as I run my hand through my hair. "This is all my fault." I mumble. "No it's not." I hear a familiar voice say. I turn and see Kellin walking towards me. "Gerard called and told me what happened. Even if Mikey did jump it's not your fault." he tells me. Tears streamed down my face as I looked down. "You want a hug?" Kellin asks. I nod and he wraps his arms around me. "He'll be ok." Kellin sighs. "Hey guys. Mikey just got out of surgery we can go see him now." Kai says as he walks over to us. I pull away from Kellin and we walk into the hospital. "Come on kid." Frank mumbles as he wraps an arm around my shoulder and lead us to the elevator. He pressed the button for the 6th floor and the elevator jerked. I clung to Frank's side as we started to move. The doors opened on the 6th floor and we all stepped out. "Which room is he in?" Kellin asked. "666." Frank laughed. I chuckled weakly as we walked down the hall. When we I got to Mikey's room Kai pushed open the door. I took in a sharp breath when I saw all of the machines that Mikey had been hooked up to. Mikey turned his head to look at us and I saw tears well in his eyes when his gaze landed on me. "So what actually happened?" Kai asks. "I lost my balance and fell off the railing." Mikey sighs. I let out a breath I hadn't noticed I was holding and relaxed a little.

We spend a few hours in the hospital before Frank took Kai and I home. We get out of the car and I walk into the house. "I'm gonna go up to the studio if that's ok." I tell Frank. He nods and I walk up the stairs. I walk through the hall and up to the studio. I pick up the guitar that Mikey had been using earlier and slowly start playing. "Here's to the ones that we got." I sing. "Cheers to the wish you were here but you're not. Cause the drinks bring back all the memories of everything we've been through." I hum. "Toast to the ones here today.

Toast to the ones that we lost on the way. 'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories." I hear Kai continue. I turn and see him and Frank standing by the door. "And the memories bring back, memories bring back you." we all sing. "There's a time that I remember, when I did not know no pain. When I believed in forever, and everything would stay the same. Now my heart feel like December when somebody say your name.'Cause I can't reach out to call you, but I know I will one day, yeah." I hum as I continue playing. Frank and Kai pull over two desk chairs and sit down. "Everybody hurts sometimes. Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy. But everything gon' be alright. Go and raise a glass and say, ayy." Frank sings. "Here's to the ones that we got. Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not. 'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories of everything we've been through." Kai continues. I smile as I look at Kai. I look into his eyes and see something I haven't seen in years; hope. "Toast to the ones here today. Toast to the ones that we lost on the way. 'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories. And the memories bring back, memories bring back you." I sing. "Doo doo, doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo. Memories bring back, memories bring back you." we all sing. I look over and smile when I see Ray walk in. "There's a time that I remember when I never felt so lost. When I felt all of the hatred was too powerful to stop. Now my heart feel like an ember and it's lighting up the dark. I'll carry these torches for ya that you know I'll never drop, yeah." I continue as Ray pulls out his phone and starts recording. "Everybody hurts sometimes. Everybody hurts someday, ayy ayy. But everything gon' be alright. Go and raise a glass and say, ayy." Kai sings. "Here's to the ones that we got. Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not." Frank hums. "Cause the drinks bring back all the memories of everything we've been through." I continue as I smile at Frank. "Toast to the ones here today. Toast to the ones that we lost on the way." Kai hums. "Cause the drinks bring back all the memories and the memories bring back, memories bring back you. Doo doo, doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo. Memories bring back, memories bring back you. Doo doo, doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo. Memories bring back, memories bring back you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, doh, doh. Memories bring back, memories bring back you." we finish. I set the guitar down and Ray stops recording. I laugh as I look around. "Well that was fun." Kai chuckles. I nod and Frank laugh. "Come on you two. It's time for bed." Frank tells us as he stands up. We follow him down the stairs and we all head into our rooms. I take my shoes off and put them back in my closet. I walk over to my deal when I see a box sitting on it. I open it and see a black iPhone. "Holy shit." I mumble. I turn it on and see that it already has Frank, Ray Mikey, Gerard, and Kai's numbers in it. I decide to change their names.

Gerard: Geesus

Frank: hobbit

Ray: fro fro

Mikey: Miokey💙

Kai: dumb ass

I smile and decide to text Mikey.

(Quinn's name in Mikey's phone is Quinn💚)

Quinn💚: hey

Miokey💙: hey are you ok?

Quinn💚: yeah I'm sorry if I freaked you out earlier

Miokey💙: you didn't freak me out I was just worried now got to bed it's 3am

Quinn💚: fine mom

I shut my phone off and grabbed the charger out of the box. I plugged it in next to my bed and laid down. After a few minutes I finally fall asleep.
