Hell or High Water
Fire
Frank groaned lowly as he rolled his shoulder. The nurse smiled down at him and handed him a bottle of xanax and painkillers.
“Thanks.” Frank mumbled, walking out of the hospital. He walked down the street and crossed the small stream into the woods. Frank sighed and walked straight to Gerard’s window. He scaled the wall and opened up Gerard’s window. Frank climbed inside and walked around. “Gerard? Where are you man?” Frank called, searching the house. After searching the whole house Frank gave up. He walked back up to Gerard’s room and waited.
After waiting several hours Frank let out a sigh and left Gerard’s house. He walked back to his only to have his day worsen. “Oh my god. MOM!” Frank screamed, running toward the burning house. Firemen grabbed Frank by the waist and pulled him back. “MOM!” Frank cried. He kicked and screamed, trying to get out of the man’s grasp. Frank soon stopped and broke down. He watched as the firemen sprayed the house down with water, putting the fire out. The rest ran inside, taking the charred bodies out. Frank freaked out, seeing all the dead bodies of his family. “No! NO! WHY WERE THEY HERE!?” Frank screamed as loud as he could. Heavy rain started pouring out of the sky, clashes of thunder and lightning coming with it.
“Kid. Who was in the house?” A police officer asked.
“MY WHOLE FUCKING FAMILY!” Frank wailed. The officer gave him a look filled with pity. Frank in an burst of strength pushed the fireman off of him and ran. He sprinted back to Gerard’s house and climbed back inside. Gerard shot out of his bed in panic but soon calmed seeing Frank.
“Hey- Frankie? Frankie what’s wrong?” Gerard asked, getting out of his bed. He walked over to Frank and placed a hand on his shoulder. Frank let out a choked sob and collapsed. Gerard went down with him and rubbed his back.
“They’re dead Gerard!” Frank sobbed into Gerard’s chest. Gerard frowned.
“Who Frankie?” Gerard whispered.
“My whole family.” Frank whimpered. Gerard picked Frank up and laid him down. He climbed in next to him and wrapped his arms around Frank’s waist.
“Everything’s okay. Everything is going to be fine.” Gerard cooed, stroking Frank’s hair. Frank sniffled and buried his head in Gerard’s chest. He let out ragged sobs and strangled breaths. Frank shook his head and tightened his grip on Gerard’s shirt. “I’m so sorry Frank.” Gerard mumbled. He reached down and entwined their fingers. “Happy birthday.”
