Vampires Will Never Hurt You
I've Seen Love Die Way Too Many Times
Gerard’s POV
Ring, ring
My eyes fluttered open and I groaned, the phone’s high-pitched ringing waking me from the most peaceful sleep I’ve had in weeks. I forced myself to get up and answer it, rubbing the sleep from my eyes.
“Hello?” I spoke into the receiver.
“Hello, is this Gerard Way?” A female voice on the other end spoke.
“Yes, it is. Who is this?”
“My name is Mellissa Gilbert, I work at Belleville Hospital. You are the emergency contact for Frank Iero, is that correct?”
“Um, yes, I-I suppose so,” I stammered. Emergency. My stomach started doing flips at the mention of the word.
“I’m terribly sorry to inform you that this morning Frank was in a car accident,” she spoke slowly, her voice apologetic, “Unfortunately the doctors were unable to save him, he lost too much blood.”
No. No, there was no way. He was with me last night. I looked at the clock. 1:14 pm. How did I sleep so late? I ran to the kitchen, the phone still in my hand, and right away I noticed a note on the counter.
Gone to the store, be back soon. Love you!

I hung up the phone and fell to my knees. “This isn’t real. It can’t be real. I’m dreaming. I must be. Just wake up. Wake up, Gerard. Wake up, just wake up!”
“Gerard? What’s going on?” Mikey called from his room. He saw me curled up against the cabinets and ran to my side. “Are you alright? Gee, tell me what’s wrong.”
“It’s Frank, he… he’s dead, Mikey. Frank is dead,” I said between sobs. I buried my face in my knees, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Once I had calmed down a little Mikey got me to lie down on the couch. I just laid there sobbing until I ran out of tears. I felt so pathetic and heartbroken. Mikey made me a cup of coffee and I gladly took it, finishing it off about a minute later. Eventually I got up to go to the bathroom and decided to lie down in my bed. I lay down on Frank’s side and buried my face in his pillow, breathing in the smell of him. It was comforting in a way, but it just made me even sadder because I would never smell him again. I would never hug him, kiss him, feel his skin against mine, he would never move in and I would never wake up next to him every morning.
I must have drifted off to sleep at some point, because I woke up at 3 am to the sound of Mikey screaming. I immediately jumped up and ran to see what happened.
Mikey was on the floor, a vampire sitting on top of him biting his neck. “MIKEY!” I shouted as I tore the mysterious person away from him. Now that he was off of Mikey I could get a good look at his face. I felt sick when I locked eyes with who was attacking my brother.
“Frank?”
“Gerard,” his voice was shaky, “what’s happening to me?”
