The innocence of our being

"Frank, if you're grades were so bad, why didn't you just drop out?" I laughed at him. "That wasn't and option. Gee MADE me go. I wasn't about ready to tell him no." He nodded his head. "So tell me about your first day back."
***Flashback***
When I woke up in the morning, the first thing I did was call Gee. He told me he was doing okay, just in a lot of pain, and I could go visit him after school. I got up and put on some blue ripped jeans and a misfits shirt. I grabbed my messenger bag then hopped in my car and drove to school. When I got in the building, I was swarmed with people asking me about Gerard. I didn't answer any of them, just followed the scent of roses and found Jaymie. She was at her locker. reading. She looked up and saw me, then brought me into a big hug. I hugged her back. I missed her so much. We hadn't been talking a lot the past couple of weeks. She decided to stay with her aunt, so she didn't have to move. When we were done hugging, she walked me to class. I went through all of my classes like a robot. I had no emotion whatsoever. I just did what I was told and replied to whoever talked to me.
When the end of the day finally came around, I literally ran to my car. I jumped in and went so far over the speed limit, race car drivers would be envious. I pulled into my normal parking spot in the hospital and ran to the front desk. I waved hi to the nurses and signed in. I grabbed my visitors pass and walked the familiar walk to Gee's room. I wasn't ready for the sight my eyes laid on. Gee was in a fetal position on his bed wincing in pain. His face was all red and scrunched up and his cheeks were wet with tears. I ran over to his side and rolled him over. I pulled him into a hug and whispered 'I love you' s into his ear. He finally got some pain medication and was a little bit better. I sat down in a chair and held his hand. I told him a little bit about my day and he told me about his chemo. He said he would start losing his hair soon, and I told him he would still be beautiful. I had stayed there for a while until the nurse came in to tell me I had to leave. I was just about to stand up when Gee started crying again. I looked up at him and asked 'What hurts, baby?' He closed his eyes and pointed to his heart.
***Flashback over***
"What do you mean?" He asked me. "He wasn't physically in pain. He was emotionally hurting... just like I am now." " What do you think caused this?" I shrugged my shoulders. "I think it was me."
