All That's Left Of Yesterday
You're barely sleeping, no longer dreaming
Gerard's P.O.V.
I lie in my bed, staring at a comic but not actually paying attention to what's on the page. I want to cry but I manage to stay strong. Frank's out of order keeping my away from Mikey. Whatever's going on in his head is clearly wrong. And anyway who's he to stop us being around each other? We are brothers after all and if Mikey didn't want me here he wouldn't have text me to come home.
As I try to take my mind off things by reading the first line of my comic for fifth time, still now taking it in, a knock comes from my door. I look up to see Mikey standing in my doorway and relax at the sight of him.
"You alright Mike?" I ask, giving him a small smile. He stands there looking at me, biting his lip and after about a minute he holds out his arms and simply says "hug?"
I smile and roll over, holding open the blanket for him to climb in. He curls up next to me, sobbing quietly as I hold him close.
"Hey, don't cry," I tell him. "It's okay. Everything's fine Mikey Mouse." He smiles at the nickname before closing his eyes and nuzzling his head into my neck. I close my eyes too and although it's only 11.30 I find myself dozing off and sleeping soundly for the first time in what seems like forever.
