Hell or High Water

Gerard sighed and slid the drawer shut. Yet again he had managed to push his only friend besides Mikey in the hell hole away. He opened the bottom drawer and pulled out the many stacks of notes and paper that sat there. Gerard wrote down his latest memory and looked through the others.
“He saw didn’t he?” Gerard looked up at Mikey who was standing in the doorway. Gerard nodded and put the papers back in the drawer. “Well at least he saw the gloves instead of those.” Mikey sighed. Gerard went to grab his notepad but Mikey stopped him. “Gerard, I know you can talk.”
“W-w-what?” Gerard gasped and looked up at Mikey. Mikey chuckled and sat down next to him.
“Yeah. You screamed for Frank remember. Besides I was thinking that you were hiding something anyway.”
“H-h-h-how?” Gerard asked.
“Well you aren’t the most sneakiest person.” Mikey informed and chuckled. Gerard shook his head and sighed.
“T-t-t-thanks f-f-for p-p-p-p-pointing o-out t-t-the o-o-o-o-o-o-obvious.” Gerard grumbled. Mikey laughed.
“Well it’s good to hear your voice. Anyway on a much more serious note. Why did you start choking Frank?”
“H-he w-was a-a-asking to m-many q-q-q-questions…” Gerard mumbled, clenching and unclenching his hands.
“You don’t choke someone because they ask questions Gerard. Sometimes I think you have some sadistic kink or something of the sort.” Mikey joked dryly. Gerard rolled his eyes.
“Y-you f-f-forget t-t-t-that I’ a-am in a f-f-f-fucking a-a-asylum.” Gerard grumbled and laid down.
“Yeah, yeah. Whatever.” Mikey scoffed and rolled his eyes. Gerard glared up at him and kicked him off the bed.
“G-g-goodnight M-m-m-mikes.” Gerard pulled the blanket over his head even though he wasn’t tired. He heard Mikey sigh and leave. ‘If only I could remember everything.’ Gerard mentally sighed. ‘We could help you...’ The voices whispered. ‘I don't want your help! I just want you to GO AWAY!’ ‘Sorry honey but we aren’t going anywhere, see you can’t kill what you didn’t make. Your mommy and daddy were freaks just like you! And every freaks baby is also a freak. We were born with you and we will die with you.’ ‘SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!’ Gerard internally screamed. ‘Why don’t you just kill yourself already? You’re just a stupid faggot! No one loves you! Just fucking die already! Get up, go the kitchen and grab the biggest knife and cut your wrists! No one will miss you!’ Gerard rolled over and yanked the top drawer open. He pulled the gloves back out and stared at them, a nostalgic feeling washing over him. Gerard squeezed his eyes shut as sobs wracked his body. The door creaked open and the sound of footsteps filled the room.
“G-gerard wake up.” Frank whimpered and sat down next to him. Frank gently pulled the blanket away. “I need to tell you something important…”
