I Never Knew What to Say

~Gerard~
“What” can Mikey see me? He couldn’t see me before…this makes no sense
“You’re ALIVE!” uh oh Mikey is angry
“No he isn’t because you never saw him hug you”
“Yeah exactly! When I hugged you my arms went through”
“What?”
“So you are real?” He looks at me, he seems relieved
“Well… yes, isn’t that obvious?” he smiles cutely at me
“Wow, awesome… wait that means you heard me…” his eyes sparkle then open wide.
“Sing? Yeah, you are really good” I give him a reassuring smile
“Seriously you come back to life and straight away just flirt with my best friend whom you have never met before?!”
“Mikey, I have met him before in fact I have been stuck haunting him this whole time!”
“It’s true, he follows me everywhere!”
“No you follow me!”
“DUDE!” I forgot how loud my brother can shout “Are you kidding me?”
“No Mikey, it really is me” I offer my hand and he takes it, my sense of touch returning so I can finally hug him. “Oh my god Mikey” I hug him tight and then let go. That is when we hear the dripping noise.
“Gerard?” he is looking at me weirdly that’s when I feel a tea towel being tied round my wrist.
“M-mikey?”
“No… NO!” he is screaming at me as my vision blurs “I am not losing him again call 9-”
“Already done it, get his hands above his head”
“What?”
“GET HIS HANDS UP” Mikey lifts my hands up above my head as I lean on the counter. Moments later my vision fades.

~Frank~
“No NO!” he begins to faint so I help him to the floor as we lift his arms into the air. “Mikey keep them above him, above his heart, he will lose less blood”
“How long was he bleeding for?”
“I recon the whole time”
“Why?” I look at him, with tears in my eyes
“He bled on both of us…” His eyes widen and looks at me, the blood barely showing against the black fabric unlike Mikey’s white shirt. We hear sirens outside “You want to hold him or get the door?”
“Door” as he heads off I take over holding his arms up when the paramedics come in, in a blur we are outside “He’s my brother, please tell me he is okay!”
I step over to try and join him in the ambulance but am stopped.
“Family only”
“Sorry man, I’ll call you soon!” as they drive off I realise I’m crying, we have been sort of living together for four years, the lack of his presence is unnerving.

~Gerard~
“He is waking up Mikey, don’t stress him out” I slowly open my eyes but the light hurts for a while.
“Gerard?”
“Give me a second Mikes, the lights are bright” I hear him giggle
“Four years and you still call me that baby name” I can finally open my eyes and giggle with him but suddenly stop to Mikey’s surprise “What’s up Gerard?”
“Where is Frank?” he looks down blushing
“He couldn’t come, family only”
“Well I want to leave, wait how long has it been?”
“Hours… maybe I should call him”
“You haven’t called him?!”
“I was worried”
“He will be too!” he hurries off outside while I wait, a doctor enters the ward and walks over
“Gerard Way?”
“Yes?”
“Do you know you’re officially dead?”
“Yes… I ran away, my whole family thought I was dead”
“That’s why there was no body?” there is a new voice, a police officer “Your family was distraught”
“My mother wouldn’t have been, she expected me to go to hell and that I deserved it, I was the devil child she wish she never had”
“Where were you for these years?” I see Mikey walking in behind them, a worried look on his face.
“Living with my boyfriend” Mikey’s jaw drops open and he rushes over
“C-can he go soon?”
“Sure, take the bandages off tomorrow and let them air” I am discharged and me and Mikey take a taxi to Frank’s place, he is silent the whole time. As we knock on the door he explodes.
“You can NOT ne in love with my best friend!” unfortunately he says it just as Frank opens the door…
