Bring Me to Life
I Love You
Mikey's POV:
Two days after I had received the letter, Frank got home from work we went out to a small pizza parlor. We sat down at a booth and Frank went a got drinks. I hadn't stopped thinking about the letter. About the fact that my life was going to be over tomorrow. It's a strange feeling knowing exactly when you're going to die, tonight I was going to tell Frank how I felt about him. I needed him to know everything before it was too late.
Frank sat down across from me and I thanked him for getting my drink. I was nervous to tell him, what if he didn't feel the same way? Or if he thought it was all to soon. Frank looked at me with curious eyes.
“Are you alright? You seem off, are you feeling okay?”
I smiled, “I'm good Frank, however there is something I wanted to tell you.”
Just when Frank was about to respond the waiter walked up to our table and set the pizza down. He asked if there was anything else that we needed, and when we responded that there was nothing he left. We both took a piece of pizza and he began to eat. About half way through his piece he said, “Oh! You wanted to tell me something…what was it?”
“Um…well there's something that I've been wanting to tell you. I'm not sure exactly how you're going to react so I guess I should just come out and say it. I think…iloveyou.” The last part of my sentence came out really fast and I could tell Frank didn't understand what I had said.
“What was that?” He asked leaning in a little closer.
“Frank…-I love you.” I stated, Frank’s eyes grew wide in surprise. I waited for him to say something…anything.
“W-wow um….don't you think this is a little fast? I mean…I don't know exactly what to say.”
I felt heat rise in my cheeks and tears sting my eyes. Before I embarrassed myself further I shot up from my seat and walked out of the building. I could hear Frank call after me but I didn't stop, I just began to run. I wiped the few tears that fell from my eyes and slowed my pace down to a walk. I shoved my hands into my coat pockets. I didn't care about the cold or the fact that I was going to die tonight. Frank didn't love me, inside I knew that I was good for nothing. Charles was right, no one could ever love me, I am nothing. Who would ever want to love a person like me? I was broken, used goods. Hell I wasn't even comfortable with people touching me. I am a freak and I am not good enough for someone like Frank. He deserves someone intelligent, like him, not someone who didn't even finish high school. He is everything that I am not; good looking, smart, funny, and kind. I should've known better.
I began to walk in the direction of the park that I was going to meet James at. If I was going to do one last thing in this world it was going to be saving the lives of the people I loved. Even if they didn't love me back, I couldn't let anything happen to Gerard, Lindsey, or even Frank. After about forty minutes I arrived at the park, now all I had to do was wait.
Frank’s POV:
Asshole. That is exactly what I am. Mikey opened up to me and I completely shot him down. And the stupid thing is that I do love him, I’m just a coward who is afraid to admit my feelings for another person. Now I am driving around looking for Mikey, and he is nowhere to be seen. I was really worried about him, it is freezing outside and it was beginning to snow. After another thirty minutes of driving around I decided to head over to Gerard's, praying that Mikey had gone there.
I rushed up the front steps of Gerard's home and pounded on the door. Within a few seconds Gerard answered and when he saw that Mikey wasn't with me he instantly got worried. My heart stopped realizing that Mikey was not with Gerard either.
“Frank…where's Mikey?”
“I fucked up…I can't find him.” Gerard quickly ushered me inside, “He said that he loved me and I-I didn't say it back. He ran out of the restaurant and I drove around for an hour looking for him. I couldn't find him anywhere! I was hoping he came here…oh my God Gerard…what have I done?”
Gerard sat down on the couch running his hand through his hair, “We'll find him…I mean it's freezing outside he couldn't have gone very far.” I could tell he was frustrated, I couldn't blame him, his brother was missing because of me.
“I love him Gerard. That's the stupid thing. I love him so much I was just afraid to admit it.”
Mikey’s POV:
Every noise made me jump, I could hear a dog barking in the distance, also a car alarm going off. I couldn't see much of anything, fog was settling in and snow was sticking to the ground. My senses were on high alert, trying to see if he was going to show up. I was hoping he wouldn't, that tonight was not the night I was going to die, that I would see Frank and Gerard again. That I would be able to meet my niece. However I knew none of that was going to happen. I was going to die, but no one else was going to.
I was caught by surprise when I felt a cloth being shoved against my face, over both my nose and mouth. I kept breathing in the fumes, and I pulled against the hand and tried to kick the person behind me but nothing was helping and my vision was beginning to blur. Before the darkness consumed me I heard him whisper in my ear.
“You didn't honestly expect me not to have some fun with you first did you?”
