Hey Mr. Way
Chapter 29
''O-oh....'' Gerard stuttered into the phone, '' h-how should I...w-what s-s-should I s-say? ''
His hands were shaking like crazy and his face had gone literally white, he looked like he was about to cry.
'' Y-yes, o-of course, '' he said shakily, swallowing a lump in his throat before croaking '' bye. ''
'' Y-you might wanna, '' Gerard said but he took a gasp in some sort of faulter for some reason before getting himself together again and continuing, '' s-sit down, b-babe. ''
I sat down on the couch and Gerard sat next to me, taking my hand in his freezing ones. It was like the blood had stopped flowing inside him, he'd gone so cold and pale, he looked like he was about to throw up.
'' F-frankie babe, i-it's..it's your mother. I-I'm so, s-so sorry Frankie, '' Gerard said, obviously trying his very best to keep from bursting out into tears, '' s-she's dead. ''
I stopped. Everything just stopped, even my heart skipped at least two beats, probably more. I was on the brink of thowing up as soon as I heard the phone ring, but now I was even worse. I lept up off the couch, tears streaming down my face as I kicked the bathroom door open in the dark seeing as I didn't switch the light on, and fell to my knees beside the toilet, not even wretching like last time but properly throwing up. Gerard was sat beside me stroking my back as I was sick over and over, it felt like it was never going to end.
After what felt like hours but was probably only a few minutes I stopped, finally. Gerard picked me up and took me to our room silently.
'' I...I j-just...'' I whispered, hating the silence and wanting to break it.
'' I know Frankie, I know, '' Gerard said, laying me on the bed and undressing me.
'' It's...I wanted to...I wanna see her again, '' my voice cracked and I started crying again.
'' I know babe I know listen I know it doesn't seem like it now, but it's all gonna be okay, trust me Frankie, trust me, '' he said as he started undressing me.
'' Okay, it's all gonna be okay, is it? Is it really though Gerard? '' I asked, raising my voice, ''IT'S NOT GONNA BE 'OKAY' GERARD, MY MOTHER'S FUCKING GONE AND SHE'S NOT COMING BACK. NEVER, EVER COMING BACK GERARD! I NEVER GOT TO FUCKING SAY GOODBYE TO HER-'' my voice cracked and I went from shouting to complete silence.
I blinked, shocked and disapointed in myself for shouting at Gerard when he was only trying to comfort me.
'' I..I'm sorry I didn't mean-'' I started.
'' It's fine Frankie, '' Gerard cut me off, standing up off the bed. I thought he was gonna walk out and leave me, I thought he hated me.
'' You want some coffee babe? '' Gerard asked with a smile.
'' Yeah, '' was all I managed to choke out.
It took me 6 hours non stop reading to get through this. I loved it :-) X
life like 4 in the morning and I haven't slept in days but this made me smile. Sorry I am a really slow and bad reader that's why it took me so long. :-)
