The Boy In The Skeleton Pyjamas.
Desperate Hearts
*Gerard's POV*
I woke up in a sleepy haze draped across someone's legs. "What the f-
oh hey Frank"
I realised I had fallen asleep on Franks tiny legs, which was a rather awkward, compromising position. He didn't seem I mind though, he was snoring gently to himself.
I got up from the bed and slid off the end, walking back to my bed.
The girl next to me was stirring as she woke up, I realised I still didn't know her name, I'd ask Frank, but he was still asleep.
"Hi." she smiled, looking adorable in her state of awareness, like a friendly zombie. "Hey." I replied, an equally happy grin. She seemed to be almost fully awake so I decided to go talk to her, the whole ward was asleep, I glanced over to the alarm clock, six in the morning (far too early!) I leant over my bed and flopped on it, hitting my head on the headboard "Owww...Shit!" The girl chuckled lightly, before asking if I was okay and giving me a concerned look. "I'm not okay" I grinned. "My head hurts" I said in a cutesy voice, puppy dogs eyes and a quivering lower lip. "Aw, come here" she waved her arms towards my bed lopsidedly, gesturing to pull me in for a hug. I shuffled off the bed and onto hers, it wasn't awkward as it may sound, it as nice, and comforting. "Hi" I said, a cheeky grin spread across my face. "Did you sleep well?" She asked, I laughed. "Well, Frank is very comfortable!" "Yeah..I guess he is."
She giggled. We lay there for a minute, the ward was silent, apart from a few snores and snorts from the beds around us, I thought about today, was I gonna stay here, in the ward all day, or were the doctors going to try something to help me get better? I don't know, I still don't feel I'm ill enough to be here.
*Tula's POV*
Gerard felt warm in my arms, very thin though, as if he may snap. I ignored this and focused on the warmth, it was so nice, I hadn't had a hug from anyone other than my mother for months, and now, laying next to me was a gorgeous boy who I'd met yesterday. This is like one of those cheesy chic-flick films.
"Is your head okay?" I asked, hoping he wasn't in pain, he looked happy enough though, kind of sleepy too. He nodded. "Do you wanna sleep?" This time he spoke. "Nah, I wanna talk." and he smiled up at me, making me blush. "Okay, how about you quiz me?" He nodded again, I could feel his heartbeat against me, forcing me to blush again. "How old are you?" This was a fairly simple question to answer, so I went right ahead. "Fifteen, sixteen in May, I'm gonna have a little party in the hospital.. Well.. If I'm here." Gerard hugged me. Not like a hug you feebly give someone you don't know, when you are forced into it by relatives. Not like a hug you give someone when you're rampantly in love. It was like a hug you give someone when you're desperate. This time it seemed, he was desperate for me to be happy, he was desperate for me to live.

Maybe once I'm finished with Shadows You Left Behind I could re-do this story more realistically, but I hate it at the moment. xD I might do. Thank you! :D
