Frank P.O.V.

The doctor only allows two people at a time.
Gerard and me got stuck as partners, luckily.
I look at him, and notice his eyes are wide and it looks like.... he's about to cry.
I reach my hand out to caress his back but quickly pause and jerk my hand back.
Bad idea. He might assume stuff and I don't want to ruin our friendship.
"Mr. Way and... Ero" He pronounces my name wrong. Everyone does.
"It's pronounced Eero." I pat him on the shoulder, "Long e sound."
I keep walking towards Ray's room.
Looking over, I notice Gee's clenched jaw.
I open my mouth and I'm about to say something but I stop myself again.
Just don't say anything. If he wants to talk to you, he'll talk to you.
***
We soon arrive at the entrance.
I lightly place my right hand on the handle and push the door open.
I twist in the room, my back against the door, allowing a space for Gee to squeeze through.
"Thanks." He mutters.
I nod in reply.
I let the door handle go, closing the door, and revealing the pale, too-still, Ray.
Gee walks to the right side of him and looks down.
"Hey." He says softly.
Ray blinks weakly and replies with a slight nod.
"How's it?" Gee asks.
A few seconds lapse then out of the blue Ray goes completely still and his eyes dialate.
"What's going on?" I ask in a panicky voice.
"Ray? Ray?" Gee whispers. He violently starts shaking his shoulders.
"Shit." I whisper.
I open the door, stick my head out, and scream, "Hurry! Something's wrong with him! It looks like he stopped breathing!" And did those medics come running.
