Summer Break
Together
GERARD’S POV
I was outside with Mikey looking at the sky. Man I love summer it’s the most perfect time. “So did you call Frank to see if he could come over?” I asked not taking my eyes off of the sky.
“Yeah I did but he wanted to stay home with his mom today.”
“Oh ok.”
About that time a police car drove by and I sat up from the ground. It was turning into Frank’s drive way. “Hey Mikey. There is a police car over at Frank’s house.” I said looking at him worriedly.
“Don’t worry Gee they’re probably there because of Frank’s dad.” Mikey said sounding perfectly calm. Yeah I told Mikey. He’s Frank’s best friend and I didn’t think that Frank would mind if his best friend knew what was going on.
I heard a scream and a door slam. About 20 seconds later the Police man walked into his car. “Hey wait, officer!!!” I said getting up from the grass. The man looked at me. “Wa-was that Frank Iero you were talking to?”
“You know the Iero’s??”
“Well yeah of course I knew them since I was seven.” I lied I just needed a way for him to tell me it was Frank.
“Oh well yes that was Frank Iero that screamed at me and slammed the door in my face now if you don’t mind I will be leaving, have a good day.” The man rolled up his window and started his car. I backed up because Hell! I don’t feel like getting hit by a car. The man then drove off.
“asshole.” I mumbled under my breath. “Hey Mikey I'm going to try and call Frank.”
“Okay bro do whatever you want. I’ll just be right here.”
I walked inside my house and went to my room to go get my phone. I dialed Frank’s number and let it ring but only to be answered with a voicemail. “Hey this is Frank. Sorry I can’t get to the phone right now but I’ll make sure to call you back!” *Beep*
“Hey Frank, its Gerard. I just wanted to check up on you and say hi. Love you.” I hung up the phone after I left my message. I was getting kind of worried because Frank always answers his phone. I decided to go for a walk to calm my nerves but I brought my phone with me on my walk just in case.
~~~TIME LAPSE~~~ Ok now I am really worried it’s been about 45 minutes now and Frank still hasn’t called back or texted me back. Right now I have sent about 5 text messages and voice mails asking if he was okay but I never got a response. I sent my one last text to him and continued my walk. I went the long way this time to see if it would calm me down but let me tell you it made me more worried than ever and the weird thing is I have been having a bad feeling that something is wrong. It all started when the police officer left. Oh god!! What if there is something wrong with Frank!! I then started running as fast as I could to Frank’s house. I knocked on the door but got no answer. Panic was all over my body now. I tried to open the door but it wouldn’t budge. I backed up and lifted my foot to the door handle and broke it. I pushed back the door and saw a note on the table. ‘Went out to get more medicine. Be back soon, Mom.’
I read the note as fast as I could and went upstairs to Frank’s room. “Frank?? Where are you?” I looked everywhere but I couldn’t find him. I then arrived in front of his room door. I tried opening it but it wouldn’t budge either. Damn what is it with these locked doors.
“Frank? Frank?! Frank!?” I never got an answer and with that I broke down the door and saw my Frank, pale and lifeless, on his bed unconscious. I ran over to him and shook his body to try and wake him up to see if he was still somewhat alive.
“Frank?? Baby wake up…. Please wake up….oh god no. Please don’t leave me I need you.” I was in tears. I pulled out my phone and immediately called 911.
After about 4 minutes later I heard the sirens and the ambulance men walked into his room carrying my Frank out with them to the truck. “Wait!! Can I come please?!”
“Are you family?”
“No sir I'm his boyfriend.”
“Okay come on hurry” I climbed into the back of the truck with Frank lying next to me unconscious. I took his hand in mine and held it close to me kissing it.
“Please Frank stay with me I need you a lot. You may not know that but I do.” Tears were running down my cheeks now. I waited until we arrived at the hospital.
After about 6 minutes we were at the hospital. I was following where they were taking Frank but someone stopped me before I could go. “Sir I'm going to need you to stay out here in the waiting room, don’t worry he is in special hands. If you like to, I can sit with you while you wait for him. I'm supposed to get off now but I don’t mind” The nurse said smiling. I didn’t argue and finally gave in of her staying and sitting with me.
“My name is Nurse Ann but you can call me Rachel.” Rachel said holding her hand and smiling. She looked about 38. She had mid length black hair with brown eyes and I couldn’t help but notice she had a tattoo on her wrist. She had it covered up but her sleeve went up when she put her hand out. I accepted her hand shake and told her my name “Gerard” I said somewhat smiling.
“Nice to meet you Gerard. Was that your brother that had to go in?” she asked looking quite interested in my answer. I laughed at the way she saw Frank has my bother.
“No no he is actually…my…..boyfriend.” I said looking at her hoping she wasn’t disgusted that I was gay.
“Oh I'm sorry and hey there is nothing wrong with being gay. A little secret between me and you, I had a girlfriend in high school and it worked out really well and we are still together, married.” She said smiling big. Wow Rachel is very open with her life for a boy she just met.
“Really?” I said sounding amazed.
“Yep and we love each other a lot.”
“I hope one day that will be me and Frank being together, married.” I said looking at the ground about to cry. She put her hand on my back to comfort me. It wasn’t a way of flirting it was just a way of saying it will be okay.
“Hey he’s going to be okay I promise.” She said giving me a small smile. I looked back up to her and smiled back.
~~~TIME LAPSE~~~ It’s been about 4 hours now and Frank is still in the hospital. I don’t even know if he’s okay. Me and Rachel have also been talking. She is a really nice person. “Mr. Way Frank has a room now. But um here is the thing. Supposedly he took nerve and pain killers which made his heart stop from having too much of it. I hate to say this but we don’t really know when Mr. Iero will wake up an-“
“Well can I see him?!”
“Yes you can but remember he won’t be awake.” I already had tears down my cheeks now from Frank not waking up and the hospital not knowing when he will wake up either.
“Okay.” I whispered
We walked down the long corridor to Frank’s room so I could see him. The nurse opened what I assumed his room door and let me in. “You will have to go when visiting hours are over. You have about four hours.”
“Thank you.” I turned around and there I saw my Frankie with more color to his skin now. I walked over and pulled a chair so I was right next to his bed. I put my hand over his forehead and moved the hair out of his face.
“Hey..Fr-Frankie.” I was getting choked up and tears were rimming around my eyes. “I ho-hope you can hear me and know that I-I l-love you s-so much.” At this time I was crying really hard and couldn’t stop. “I love you so much. Just pl-please don’t l-leave me. I wo-wont b-be able to l-live without y-you.” I kissed his head and tried to stop crying but I couldn’t. I grabbed his hand and held it in mine tightly. I kissed the top of it. ”I love you so much. I love your laugh, your personality, everything. You’re perfect. Please wake up. I love you and I miss you. I want to see your beautiful eyes open and your smile when you see I'm here. I want to wake up to that smile every day for the rest of my life. I want us to start a life someday and we can do it if you would please wake up. I love you so much. So much” I was crying a lot now and my tears were on the floor gathering up. I kissed his hand again and put my head down and stared at the floor crying uncontrollably. I then heard the bed slightly move and I shot my head up looking at Frank. He was waking up!! Oh my god!
“Frankie!! Oh my god!! Come on baby wake up! Can you hear me?” Frank opened up his eyes and started at me confused.
“Ge-Gee? Where am I?”
“Oh my god Frankie!! Your awake!” I grabbed him and gave him a big hug. “I thought I almost lost you..” I put my hands over his cheeks and stared at him and kissed his lips gently. I was crying from happiness now. I moved a piece of hair from his face and put it behind his ear. Frankie had a gentle smile on his face. I looked in his eyes and hugged him again “I love you so much Frankie.”
“I love you too Gee.”
I finally have my love back.
