The Angel In My Attic
Alternate Ending Part 1
*Frank's P.O.V.*
I woke up to white everywhere and annoying beeping behind me. I hadn't succeeded, which really sucked, but part of me was still happy to be breathing. When I tried it my thoughts were so clouded by emotion I wasn't thinking.
"Oh so you're finally awake. Good good, I'm Ray, I'm your nurse. How are you feeling?" Said Ray who had really awesome hair.
"Hungry, tired, stiff. When can I walk around?" I said, that hair doe. It bobbed around as he checked my chart.
"So we shall get you some food, then you will rest, and then tomorrow you can explore. Sound like a deal?"
"Ya I can do that. Hey Ray on a scale of 1 to 10 how's the food here?"
"Well lets see so, it's hospital food so -100 out of 10. So eat up!" With that he set down disgusting looking food.
"I'm a vegetarian, I don't eat what ever that" I ensured to the lump of meat in the middle of the plate "is."
"Eat around it sunshine. I'll see you tomorrow. Night Frank." With that he left and I was left to poke the blob of animal meat in front of me. Eventually I just eat the stupid Jello and fell asleep.
"Wakey wakey eggs and bakey. Or should I say fruit basket because you're vegetarian." Ray said smirking at me.
"Aren't you supposed to be nice to me since I'm sick and all?" I said not open in my eyes.
"Dude, I should be nice, but I don't want to. Now eat so you can go stretch your legs."
"I won't eat unless there is coffee." I said crossing my arms and refusing to open my eyes.
"Frank I'll get you the stupid coffee if you promise to eat the potatoes and the fruit that I have put before you. Can you do that?" Ray said annoyed with me.
I opened one eye and said "fine, but then I get to walk around." Ray nodded and left. I ate the fruit, which wasn't that bad. The potatoes though were a whole different story. They were greasy and just yucky, I felt like I was going to puke. Ray delivered the coffee soon after the thought of puking arose. The coffee was not much better than the food, but eh its still coffee. I left soon after finishing it to start my exploration. Overall it wasn’t very interesting. You saw sad people, you saw sad people acting happy, you saw happy people, you saw everything.
I saw a room at the end of the hall that was open. Most rooms I had saw were closed, so this peaked my curiosity. I wandered in to a guy maybe a few years older than me, lying in the bed with all these tubes coming out of him. I walked over and read his charts finding out his name was Gerard Way. He had been here for a little over six months after trying to commit suicide. I walked over to look at his face, he had long black hair, an upturned nose and the softest features. He reminded me of Gee. Then it hit me, hard. Gee, Gerard, they were the same person. I had found him, my Gee, the one that had saved me so long ago and also the day before yesterday. I had found the angel in my attic, and he was real.
Tears started to fall down my face, I could finally touch him and we could actually be friends. I reached out, tentatively, and rubbed my hand gently against his soft cheek. He was so pale, and beautiful. This was the happiest moment of my life, I finally had him. I then kissed him ever so softly on his forehead, just reveling in the moment of finally being able to. When I pulled back to study his face, his eyes had begin to flutter. I grabbed his hand and felt it tighten around mine. When his eyes opened they were more brilliant than when I had last saw them, they were real. Suddenly I was being pulled away from him by strong arms. I screamed and lashed out but the arms held me tight and dragged me back to my room. The last I saw of Gerard before his door was shut, was nurses and doctors surrounding him.
“What the fuck were you doing in there? You're not supposed to be in someone elses room!” Ray yelled at me.
“I know him, I know Gerard, he’s my friend. Is he okay now? Can I see him again? please!?” I said frantically, while pacing back and forth.
“I see, you know him. Well maybe once he’s a little more awake then you can see him. I mean he’s just woken up from a comatose state that the doctors thought he’d never wake up from. You woke him up Frank, interesting.” Ray said thinking.
“I woke him up? They thought he wouldn’t wake up? Can find out when I can see him?!”
“I mean he’s been out for over six months, and his whole family's been here and he just stayed in the same state. He only had a month, I think before they pulled plug because of all the possible brain damage he could of caused. Also there wasn’t much brain activity, his parents were really just hoping. Anyway ya I can go see, but Frank try to rest, please.” With that Ray was gone and all I could do was wait and thats what I did. I couldn’t rest though so I paced or flipped through the channels. Most of the time I spent thinking about Gee. He had woken up for me. It couldn’t be real, but I never wanted this fairy tale to end if I was only imagining it. After a few hours of rotting in my room Ray came in with this kid that was tall and lanky. He was wearing glasses and and a stony face on.
“Hey Frank this is Mikey, Gerard’s brother.” Ray said. I waved at them, but mostly disregarded them.
“So you woke my brother up then. Thanks.” the guy with the glasses, or Mikey said.
“That’s what they tell me.” I said studying the two of them.
“Frank would you like to see him? Mikey said it would be okay.” I immediately stood up and was practically bouncing on my heels at the thought of seeing him. “I’ll take that as a yes” Ray said. He then led the way to Gerard’s room. I was so nervous about seeing him, hearing him, maybe even holding his hand again. When we walked in the room there was significantly less things sticking out of him. He looked at me and seemed really confused.
“Who who are you? Do I know you?” He asked me. I felt my heart break, and all the hope I had just found to live, shatter. My face fell and I could feel the tears starting in my eyes.
“I’m I’m Frank, Frank Iero, uh ya we were friends.” I said without looking at him.
“Hey Frank, don’t worry the doctors said I might forget things, even people. I bet I will remember you. Please don’t cry. Hey look at me.” I looked up at him seeing concern in his eyes. “I heard you were the one that I woke up for. That makes you instantly my favorite person right now.”
“Hey what about me the brother that visited your stupid ass everyday” Mikey complained.
“Eh you’re okay I guess, my third favorite person.” Gerard said teasingly.
“Oh ya third favorite person, who beat me? I want to know.” Mikey said smirking.
“I’d have to say Ray, cuz of his awesome fro. Mikes, if your hair was like that you’d be tied with Frank.” Gerard said.
“I have to agree his fro is his best feature.” Mikey said earning him a punch in the shoulder from Ray.
“Hey you’re a nurse you’re supposed to be nice!” Mikey protested, while everyone laughed at him.
“I had to deal with your ass every day for over six months, I can do as I please. Plus, you’re not even my patient.”
“You make a good point Ray, Thanks for taking such good care of Gee.” Mikey said smiling very kindly at Ray. They would be cute together… Mikey checked his phone then said “Oh shit I got to go, sorry I couldn’t stay longer Gee, but I can’t be late for work again. I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye!” Mikey then ran out of the room, almost knocking a nurse down in the hallway.
“Speaking of work I have to do that so I have to leave now. I’ll come back in a little to check on you Gerard. Frank you can stay if you want.” I nodded. “Okay see you guys in a bit.” I looked over to Gerard after watching the door shut, and saw him already staring at me.
“So what are you in for?” He said smiling.
“Well kinda the same thing you were here for.” He frowned at me. He then examined me, his eyes falling on my arms.
“Oh Frank, were going to get through all of this shit together. Okay?”
“Okay”
