We're All Full Of Lies

Frank continued to blab on about everything and nothing. Eventually Gerard and I stopped pretending to be interested and our false nodding and “oh yeah’s” stopped. Frank took no notice and continued on with his one sided conversation, only when Gerard planted a very sloppy kiss on his still moving lips did he shut up. Causing him to be quiet for long enough that I suggested we head back to Mikey. Surely the doctor and nurses where finished doing whatever it is they needed to. We made it back to Mikey’s room to find the doctor standing at the end of his bed scrawling away at clipboard.

“So, uh, is everything okay?” I asked entering the room and standing next to the bed.
The doctor ignored me, not even looking up from his clipboard to recognise my presence.
“Uhm, hello? Excuse me?” I said rudely.

I felt a hand wrap around mine and squeeze lightly. I looked down to see Mikey, his eye pleading with me. He looked…scared, terrified even.
Gerard and Frank had taken up position on the other side of the bed seemingly frozen at the pure oddity of the scene before them.
Mikey was terrified. The doctor was a rude bastard. And something just wasn’t right.

“This is the last time I’m going to be polite, EXCUSE ME!” I half yelled the last part letting go of Mikey’s hand and stepping towards the doctor.

Finally the doctor lifted his head up. He smirked at me with a shit eating grin and his eyes were such a dark shade of brown they looked close to black. He had ash black hair with a small amount of grey running through it, that along with a few wrinkles indicated he had to be in his late forties early fifties, at least. And to put it very simply - he looked fucking terrifying, and I now understood why Mikey was looked so scared, I wouldn’t want to be alone in a room with this guy - ever. I avoided his eyes as best I could and focused on his name tag that red Dr. Mark Fletcher in shiny gold print.

He cleared his throat, forcing me to make eye contact with him, before he spoke, “Michael’s poor fragile body had undergone a terrible amount of stress, he’ll need to stay admitted in hospital for a few days, then we’ll do another check and consider whether it is right to discharge him, also it think its best you keep visit brief and scarce, his body shouldn’t be put under any more stress than is necessary”, he spoke in a dark tone, that was sickly sweet but laced with a unmistakeable sourness.
Gerard and Frank muttered small ‘okays’, I however wasn’t so willing to just leave Mikey alone, especially with this creeper.

“Sorry to disappoint, but I will most certainly not be keeping my visits ‘brief and scarce’, I think Mikey needs the company more than anything! Especially after everything’s that happened, he needs us here!” I quickly grabbed hold of Mikey’s hand again, trying to show that I was not leaving him.

Frank quickly came around to my side and pulled me towards the door, “Mira please, he’s the doctor just listen to him, don’t make this difficult”.

“You should listen to your friend Mira” he, Mark, said emphasising my name.

I felt sick just looking at him. I pulled away from Frank and let go of Mikey’s hand before exiting the room in the huff mumbling profanities. I ignored Franks’ calls for me to wait for him and Gerard and just continued hastily making my way down the labyrinth of hallways. My emotions were in the middle of a hurricane, one moment I was close to kissing Mikey, the next I was depressed wreck and now I was angry and pissed off. Nurses and doctors rushing around the halls soon turned into flustered moving blurs of whites and blues. Sounds of phones ringing and heart monitors beeping morphed into one big mess of piercing noise. I just wanted to go home. I needed space. I needed silence.

-X-

A shrill ringing next to my ear caused my body to jolt upright. Vertigo began to mess with my vision momentarily as I pushed my hair out of my face to take in my surroundings. My house. My bedroom to be exact. I was in my bed, still in the clothes I’d put on this morning to visit Mikey in hospital.

The continuous shrill ring of what I realised was my mobile snatched me from my thoughts, and only due to its repetitive annoyingness did I answer it.

“Hello” My voice was croaky and grogging from sleep.
“Hey Mira? It’s about time you answered, I’ve been calling for hours, Gerard even knocked on the front door and no one answered. Where are you? Are you okay? Why didn’t you answer my calls?” Frank rambled on through the phone, speaking too fast for my still half asleep mind to process.
“Whoa, Frank, hold on a minute, what time is it?”
“9:30pm”
“Holy shit, I’ve been asleep for like 6 hours”
“Asleep? So you’re at home? Not like abducted or anything?”
“No, not abducted, why would you think I was abducted?”
“Well you practically ran out of the hospital, and then disappeared, you didn’t answer your phone or front door, I was freaking out, I thought maybe Tyler or Ray came back and you know….”
“I pretty much ran home from the hospital, I must have like passed out once I got home, I don’t remember much it’s all kind of hazy from between leaving Mikey’s room until now”
“As long as you’re alright, do you want Gee and me to come over? I’m at Gee’s place now”
“No, no it’s fine, you two get some sleep or something, or do whatever it is that you two do, just be quiet, you may be across the street from me but you have quite the voice box my dear Frankie”
“Oh really Frankie?” another voice came through, Gerard’s I’m guessing, I must have been on speaker.
“uh-uhm-erm, I’m glad you’re alright Mira, we’ll talk later” Frank stammered before hanging up.
I laughed to myself just imagining the scene that was going on across the road. Frank would be cherry red and flustered trying to avoid Gerard’s suggestive smirk and sly comments. And then what happened after that was not something I wanted mental images of.

Notes

hey guys! sorry for the wait! and I know it's short and horrible but I wanted to upload something, and the new doctor..hmm what could he be up too....?? ;)
hope you enjoy the chapter and thank you so much for reading!
feel free to comment and let me know what you think!
sorry for any errors! x
Also, I have been brainstorming ideas for my next story, and I decided that I will most likely be doing a Frerard (I was thinking along the lines of a horror/mystery), before I do a sequel for this story (if there will be a sequel, I'm not sure yet).
And, I will probably take a break once this story is finished considering I have two weeks of exams starting next week, so study will be my main priority and I hope to have this finished before my exams start so I don't leave you guys without an update for a long period of time.
