Pay the price

*******Gees pov*******

i felt really uneasy about frank not responding. I knew that by him ignoring the text that they, billie and bob, did in fact have something to do with why he was so upset this weekend.

he was at the record shop working. What could've even happened in the three hours he worked that day?

i wanted to go and check on him but I still had another two or three classes and couldn't just cancel them on such short notice.

I did the only thing I could think of.
I texted Mikey.

*******Mikey's pov*******

i couldn't believe I was doing this for Gerard. I was missing hanging out with a girl during study hall to check on his precious frank.

Fuck frank man, I couldn't care less about that little shit.

i never thought frank was a bad dude in any way and he honestly was the closest friend I ever had, but finding out that your best friend is fucking people instead of talking to you about it really irked me.

he could've came to me and I could've gotten him help. My parents would've instantly taken him in, or even Gerard would've, but it was always really weird to me that frank never wanted to leave his moms home even though she was a druggie.

Frank always claimed she'd never hit him or abused him before, but wether he realized it or not her doing drugs is what led to him selling himself in the first place.

I arrived at the apartment building and began to walk up the stairs to gees place. I went straight into the room not really caring about what I could accidentally see if frank wasn't expecting me.

What shocked me was that I couldn't find frank. I looked all through the apartment, into every closet and room and still no frank.

-he's not here
I sent to Gerard who was still teaching

Gerard- what? Where could he have gone?

-idk but I'll keep looking just don't worry okay?

Gerard- okay please find him quickly

-I will
i assured gee. I walked through your the entire apartment building checking all empty rooms and all stairwells.

I saw a fire alarm in a hallway as I was walking and then it hit me. The fire escape. Knowing frank he'd probably be out there.

I quickly dashed back to gees place and climbed out of his bedroom window onto the fire escape. Sure enough there was frank huddled in a corner, crying?

"frank?" I called quietly.

he looked up at me and I could almost see his heart breaking in his eyes.

"M-mikey? W-why are you here?" He stuttered

"why are you out here crying?" I asked ignoring his question.

"I-I.....did gee send you?"

"Yea he did." I said and then I went to sit by him. "Frank why are you out here crying?" I asked again.

"Why do you care?" He asked with watery eyes.

"Frank you look dead. I can tell something's really wrong." I answered.

"P-promise you won't tell gee? I don't want t-to go b-back." He said staring into my eyes.

"Promise?" I said more like a question. Frank sighed and wiped his eyes.

"I came out here.........because I was going to jump."

"WHAT?!"

"Shh!!" He yelled. "You promised not to tell! I don't want to go back to the ward Mikey."

"frank why?- why would you want to jump what's going on?" I asked worriedly wanting to get him inside as quickly as possible now.

I may still be mad at him but he doesn't deserve to die no matter how you look at it. And he especially doesn't deserve to die by suicide.

"Its just that at the shop yesterday, I felt disgusted. I felt like I had cheated on gee...I still feel dirty and worthless so why not just end it?" He sighed shaking his head. "Then everyone's life would just go back to normal. Gee could just be a plain teacher. He wouldn't have to pay for me to live here anymore, and you can just be his brother and not have me irritating you." He said seriously.

"Frank look at me. We're going inside and waiting for Gerard to get home okay?" I said as calmly as I could

"NO! You're gonna tell him!" He shouted.

"Frank I won't tell him if you just come inside and stay inside, if you stay out here I'll call him and I'll tell him."

"I-i-I Mikey I can't! he can't know!"

"Frank he's not going to know anything. Just please come inside." I begged.

Frank began crying again and before he could argue I grabbed his arms and began dragging him toward the window back into the apartment.

He screamed and fought with me and I saw how serious he was about jumping.
I couldn't let him hurt himself like that.

I used all the strength in me and threw him back into the apartment. I climbed in and locked the window to the escape.

I locked the front door to the apartment and sat on the living room floor with him just watching him cry and making sure he didn't go anywhere or do anything stupid. I pulled out my phone and quickly texted gee for help to control him and his mental breakdown.

-gee get here fast I don't care if there's a meeting after school it can wait , just ditch it and get home. frank really needs you.
