Truth Be Told

*Frank’s P.O.V*
It was so white and bright. I didn’t know where I was. The last thing I remember was Bob crying. Why was he crying? Bob didn’t cry. Then it hit me, all the emotions and memories of Gerard, of everything. I had tried to kill myself and by the looks of it I had. I was dead. I thought it would be better, but there's nothing. I fell to my knees crying. I was dead and now I would be forever alone in this desolate place.
“Frankie it’s okay. Frankie why are you crying?” A man said behind me with his hand on my shoulder. I whipped around to look at the man, and he reminded me of someone, he wasn’t really a man, still a kid, with glasses and brown hair.
“Who, who are you?” I said trying to figure out who the kid reminded me of. He was tall, I guess, and thin really thin.
“Hey, it’s okay I didn’t mean to frighten you. I’m Mikey by the way. You probably don’t know me but, that’s okay, I know you. Also, you know my brother so don’t worry I’m not here to hurt you I’m here to help you. You see you’re not supposed to be dead, not yet at least.” This confused me even more. He knew me? I know his brother? I’m not supposed to be dead?
“Who is you brother? I’m not dead? Why am I here? What’s here? Are you dead?” Mikey laughed at him due to all his question.
“Whoa one at a time Frank. No, you aren't dead, not yet, you’re kind of in a coma. As I said before it’s not your time yet, you still have a lot to do! You have a life to live, one that will be much better than the one you have already lived. And ya, I’m dead, I wish we could have met under better circumstances, but at least I got to meet you. And what is here? Well I’m not entirely sure how to explain it to you, but it’s kinda like a place you go before you go to heaven or any other place. Oh Frank look who it is! You have to say goodbye to them before you go on living.” Frank turned around to see Bob and Ray coming towards them.
“Hey Frank! How are you? I thought we wouldn’t get to see you again!” Bob said smiling.
“Wait, you guys are dead? Why are you leaving? You can’t leave! I need you! Please don’t leave me!” I said, tears beginning to flow down my face.
“Oh Frank! Don’t cry now! Oh Frank, you don’t need us anymore, and ya we are kinda dead, been for a while now. It’s our time finally to leave, I wish we could have stayed a while longer but, then we would never get to leave.” Bob said smiling reassuringly at me.
“Hey short stack, don’t worry everything will be better now don’t worry you small head.”
“Ray! Damn you! Couldn’t you be nice for five minutes! Especially the last five minutes we will have with Frank?” Bob said scolding Ray. I laughed I was going to miss them. My only friends that I have. Or I guess now, I had. This made me cry again, I was going to be alone now.
“Oh Frankie! You aren't going to be alone, don’t worry, you have Gerard now.” Bob said.
“I don’t want Gerard! He’s a fucking dick! He broke his promise and left me! He never cared he only wanted me around to laugh at! Why couldn’t I just be dead!” I screamed at them. Didn’t they understand why I had tried to kill myself? Didn’t they see what Gerard had done to me?
“Frank listen to me” Mikey said, “Gerard is a dick, I should know, but you see when he tries to push you away, he thinks he is protecting you. He thinks you don’t need, because he is so full of anger, and he thinks he’s going to hurt you. He doesn’t understand that you need him, and that he needs you. Now believe me Frank, Gerard is a dick, a complete asshole, but he needs you as much as you need him. Now Frank, Bob, Ray, and I need to leave. When the time comes I need you to tell Gerard something for me. Also don’t tell him about this experience until then okay? Can you do that for me?” I nodded. “Okay Frank, I need you to tell him, that it’s not his fault at all, I forgive him and he needs to forgive himself because it’s not his fault. Also tell him that he’s not mental and we all should have believed him, but that I love him, and to never forget that or me. You got that Frank?” I nodded again.
“Alright Frank we have to go, but we will always be here to watch over you. We will see you again someday, but not for a long long time. Don’t do anything stupid Frank.” Bob said smiling. All three of them turned and walked away fading into a bright light, leaving me sitting and crying. That’s when I heard something, first it was faint, like a whispering, but soon it got louder. I felt something touch my hand, but as I looked there was nothing there. I close my eyes and listened to the voice.
“I love you Frankie, please forgive me for everything.” With that I tried to open my eyes, while adjusting to the light. As I finally got a good look at the person, I saw I was in a hospital room.
“I I lo love you too” I said struggling to speak. He was there, Gerard, of course I was still pissed at him, but I couldn’t deny that I loved him, and he loved me! Maybe Mikey was right, we do need each other. Who was Mikey?
“Oh god Frank, I’m so sorry, I should have thought about how my actions would have affected you! Oh god, please forgive me Frank. I’m so sorry.” Gerard said on the verge of tears. I smiled at him, I wasn’t alone and although I was glad to see him, I hadn’t totally forgiven him just yet. Friedman came in, and looked surprised to see me awake.
“Gerard you have to leave now.” Friedman said sternly.
“No no pl please no” I stumbled out, I really didn’t want to be alone in this room. Friedman's eyes looked as if she had seen a ghost.
“You can speak, huh, well Gerard has to leave he can’t stay in here.” I started to cry, this room was pretty scary, and I had no one else.
“Please Dr. Friedman let me stay. I promise to behave! I’ll make sure he eats and doesn’t do anything stupid. It would benefit him if I stayed in here, plus it’s not like I have anything to do! Please let me stay.” Gerard pleaded. I nodded furiously behind him, trying to convince her that it would be good for him to stay.
“I’ll be right back.” She turned quickly and walked out of the room. A few minutes later she returned.
“Gerard I have cleared it for you to stay, until he is cleared to leave. The minute I hear something bad happened, I’m going to transfer you to another facility, do you understand me?” Gerard nodded and Friedman left, leaving them alone in the room.
