Saved by the Way (SLOW REVISIONS)

Chapter 5

I sat next to Mikey in the waiting room. I could tell he was undergoing a panic attack. He buried his head in his hands and hunched over breathing heavily.

Gerard had overdosed on sleeping pills and slit his wrists deeply. I sat in the waiting room and traced circles on Mikey's back. Suddenly, my phone buzzed.

Where are you!? It's 7:30!
-Mom

I'm  at the hospital.....
-Scarlett^ω^

What happened!?
-Mom

Mom, calm down.  I'm fine. Mikey's brother,  Gerard, attempted suicide and I'm trying to calm Mikey down.
-Scarlett^ω^

You need to get normal friends.  Then this wouldn't happen. He probably attempted suicide because you were so annoying.
-Mom

I shut off my phone and my hands started to shake. What if that was why he attempted suicide?  I was a horrible person.

Mikey sat up straight and looked at me. "Who were you texting?"

"Just my mom."

"Why are you shaking?" Mikey looked concerned.

"Just cold I guess." it wasn't completely a lie,  it was a little chilly in here.

"I'm not stupid, Scarlett."

"I'm fine Mikey. Calm down OK,." I sighed.

"Once again I'm not stupid. If you don't want to tell me what happened, fine, but you don't have lie." Mikey rolles his eyes.

"Well if you wanted honesty that's all you had to say." we kept quiet after that.

A nurse walked in about a half hour later.  "Mikey?"

Mikey stood up.

"Follow me," the nurse beckoned, "and you can come too" the nurse reffered to me.

I got up with Mikey and we followed the nurse down the white halls.

We entered a room where Gerard lay. He looked sleepy. Well duh, he overdosed on sleeping pills.

"Mikeyyyyyyy" Gerard murmured.

"What Gerard?" Mikey asked quietly.

"Who's the hot girl you brought with you?"Gerard asked with a seriously straight face.

I started snickering in the background. He must be majorly drugged up if he thought I was beautiful.

Mikey started smiling. "That's Scarlett. You wanna talk to her?"

Gerard grinned. "Yeah! She's hot!"

Mikey beckoned me over and I stood over Gerard smiling like an idiot. He was so drugged up.

He looked up at me and half closed his eyes and gave me a dazzling smile. "Hey how's it going?"

Mikey ran out of the hospital room and burst out laughing in the hallway.

I smiled. "I'm good,  how are you doing Gerard?"

"I feel a little sleepy and I'm not quite sure what's going on at the moment."

Well that's obvious. I started grinning as Gerard rambled on about how the room was too hot.

All of the sudden he just fell asleep. I immediately left and got a nurse.

She started laughing. "He'll be just fine, just needs to sleep until the drugs wear off."

I smiled and went out to Mikey. He was still laughing. His face was red and he was bent over.

"Don't die Mikey, we can't have two Ways stuck in this hospital." I said with all seriousness.

That just made him laugh harder. I don't know why.  It was getting late. Everything is funny when it's late at night.

"Mikey is time to head home." I pulled him off the chair and brought him out to his car.  He clearly wasn't in any position to drive us home,  so I took his keys and drove to my house.

"Why don't you just stay at my place for the night, you can camp out on my couch." I said.

Mikey nodded,  but was still laughing. We finally arrived at my house and Mikey came inside and collapsed on the couch, clearly exhausted. I went into my bedroom and shut the door.

As I laid in my bed,  one question was going through my brain. Was Gerard serious when he said I was hot? Was it just the drugs or was it something more?
