(Sorry it’s still Gerard’s POV)

Lindsey had just woken up, and she really seemed so dead.

“Hey Linds.” I greeted, smiling a sad smile.

“Hi Gee.” She coughed loudly. “I’m gonna die, huh?” She cried, looking at me for a second.

I didn’t see it coming, but I kissed her. It was the only thing I could think of that could help her in any way.

“I’m—I didn’t mean to—”

“Shut up Gerard. I’m dying, do you think I’m going to complain?”

I looked out the door, where I saw Frank waiting, watching me. Fuck.

He stomped away and I followed. “Bandit, keep your mom company!” I yelled. I chased him.

“I don’t love her.” Frank mimicked. “I only love you Frank!”

“Frank, let me explain—” He cut me off.

“Fuck you, Gerard! I don’t care if you only kissed her because she’s dying! I wouldn’t kiss my ex if she was dying! There was feeling in it!” He cried. “You still love her.”

“Frank!”

“Go home and pack your stuff!” He spat. “Move back to your house, get wasted for all I care!”

That hit me like a bullet. “Fine! Maybe I fucking will!” I ran towards my car. “You can keep my shit, burn it, even! I don’t need anything anymore!” I drove back to the house Lindsey and I bought when Bandit was only four years old, and I just sat there, waiting for my phone to ring, for my death, waiting for something.

Eventually, the hospitals number showed up across my phone, and I answered it. “Hello?”

“Hello Gerard, Lindsey is no longer in critical condition, also your daughter should be able to come home tomorrow or Wednesday.”

I was relieved, the girls were okay, we were a family again, why shouldn’t I celebrate?
I grabbed a bottle of wine from a cabinet in the basement and drank it, falling over and blacking out.

Frank’s POV

---

Cherry was in a coma and Gerard didn’t show up for anything, and I was worried as hell.
I decided to call Bert and have him check up on Gerard.

“Hello?” Bert asked.

“Hey Bert, it’s Frank!” I greeted. “Sorry to bug you, I haven’t seen Gerard in two days and I was wondering if you could go to him and Lindsey’s old house and check up on it?”

“Of course, man! Why can’t you go over though?”

“My daughter’s dying, and I might have done something, I don’t want to hurt him more than I already have.”

“Oh.” He said. “What happened to Cherry?”

“She’s in a coma, She was in a car crash with Gerard’s kid.” I choked out.

“That’s rough, man. I’ll head up to check on him.”

I hung up the phone and tried to sleep for the first time since the accident.

Gerard’s POV

---

I woke up with a wine bottle on the floor next to me and Bert at my door.

“Gerard! C’mon get up!” He yelled.

“What day is it?” I asked, my head aching and my back hunched.

“Wednesday. Gerard, stop hunching over you have scoliosis!”

“Shit, I’ve gotta pick up Bandit from the hospital! Can you drive me there?”

“Sure, but you have to explain something to me in the car.”

“Fine!” I agreed.

While we were in the car, we talked about what happened and why my family was in the hospital, and why me and Frank broke up.
We arrived at the hospital after we talked about everything, and he stayed in the car while I checked up on Lindsey and picked up Bandit. I walked into Lindsey’s room, where she sat, smiling and awake while her doctor talked to her.

“You’ll be able to go home next Thursday, from what we can see, but you’re welcome to stay until Friday if you have no one to take you home.” The doctor smiled widely at her.

“Hi Lindsey!” I greeted, smiling at her.

“Hey Gee! Did you and Frank fix everything?”

“No, I broke up with him.” I continued. “He told me to get wasted.”

“Oh, then where have you been staying?” She asked.

“I’ve been cleaning up the house you and I bought. I didn’t think you’d mind...” I smiled.

“Gerard, are we back together?” She asked.

I had to think about that, because I had always loved Lindsey and I didn’t love Frank anymore. “Yes.” Frank pushed my alcoholism in my face, Lindsey wanted me to be better. “Is that okay?”

She kissed me and ran her fingers through my hair. “Go pick up Bandit, tell her that you’re moving back in.”

“Alright, Linds.”

Notes

I was going to kill Lindsey, but I love her character too much and I couldn't do it.
