Who am I to you?
Chapter 28
It took a lot of consoling before Gerard could finally get me to even look at him. Even then all I did was whimper. He held me close, taking me back inside and laying me down on my hospital bed. I heard him say something about anesthesia, and I watched him as the doctors put the mask over my face until everything faded to black. (Yes I realize they wouldn't use anesthesia for something like this but whatever)
************************************************
When I came to Gerard was exactly where I'd left him, except now he was snoring. I sighed quietly, which apparently was enough to wale him up. He smiled softly when he saw my face.
"Hey Frankie..." He whispered, taking my hand in his. "How're you feeling?"
I simply stared at him, unresponsive. He bit his lip but didn't comment on my silence.
"I have some news for you."
My gaze narrowed slightly to indicate I was listening.
"You remember what happened, right? Mikey being hit by a car?"
I closed my eyes tightly, nodding.
"So when he was hit the impact caused one of his ribs to break and puncture his lung, filling it with blood."
My grip on his hand tightened immensely as the image of his blood-soaked shirt plagued my conscience. He didn't complain, instead rubbing his thumb over my knuckles soothingly.
"It took a while to get him out of your arms to be taken inside."
No movement from me.
"But they did it, and Frank..." I felt him squeeze my hand gently.
"Mikey's gonna be okay."
My eyes flew open and I shot up, staring wide-eyed at him. He nodded, smiling happily. "He's gonna be okay."
I felt myself tear up, a smile broadening across my face. It felt like only a moment later I was in Gerard's arms, hugging him and crying with relief.
Gerard let out a rather strangled "Frankie!", reminding me of how tightly I was holding onto him. I blushed and sat back, clutching his hand.
He smiled, moving closer to embrace me. I let my head rest on his chest, allowing my tears of joy to flow freely. Gerard kissed my head lightly before pulling back.
Everything's going to be okay now.
Everything's going to be okay.
Notes
Guys, did you really think Mikey was dead? Haven't I proven I can't bear to kill the characters off? x3 (except maybe that chick from way long ago but beside the point) He's going to be fine, this was just needed to get him to the right place in the plot. Love you guys <3
