Safe?.... Never! (Re-edited for easier reading)

NOTE~ Words between ** ** are Franks thoughts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~*beep beep beep*

**Gee?.. Gee, where are you?.. Where the FUCK am I?.. Why's everything so dark?.. Is this what Gee sees?.. Just dark?...GEEEEE...**

~~~~*beep beep beep*

"Frank?.. Come on Frankie-boy, time to wake up.."

A man's voice. Familiar. Close.

~~~~*beep beep beep*

**Gee?.. Gee, is that you?.. Urgh.. Why can't I see?.. Why can't I move?.. Gee, I'm scared.. **

~~~~*beep beep beep*

"Can you hear me Frank?.. It's me.. It's Bob.. Come on pal, wakey-wakey.."

~~~~*beep beep beep*

**Bob?.. What?.. No!.. I don't want Bob.. I WANT GEE!..**

~~~~*beep beep beep*

"Doc?.."

Another voice, Frank thought it might be Rays.

".. Why isn't he waking up?"

~~~~*beep beep beep*

**Yeah.. I'd like to know that too**

~~~~*beep beep beep*

There was movement nearby, then Frank could feel something brush against his hand, and a woman's voice that he didn't recognise spoke to his left.

"The injury he sustained was quite severe, and he lost a lot of blood. While we had him in surgery, he suffered two Myocardial Infarctions, which lead to his brain being deprived of oxygen for some time.."

"Myo-what?.. What is that?"

Ray demanded.

~~~~*beep beep beep*

**That's what I was wondering..**

~~~~*beep beep beep*

"I'm sorry.."

The woman, presumably the doctor, said softly before clarifying.

".. Heart attacks!.. Mr. Iero had two heart attacks.."

~~~~*beep beep beep*

**WHAT?.. Nonononono.. That can't be right.. I'm too young for fuckin' heart attacks..**

~~~~*beep beep beep*

The doctor continued.

".. The oxygen deprivation has caused Mr. Iero to slip into a coma..."

She paused to let this information sink in.

".. I'm sorry, but I can't tell you when, or even if he'll wake up.. All we can do for him now, is make sure he keeps breathing, and his heart remains stable"

~~~~*beep beep beep*

**Well THAT sucks!..**

~~~~*beep beep beep*

"Thank you doctor.."

Ray murmured. Everyone stayed quiet for a moment, then Ray apparently thought of something else to ask.

".. Oh.. Doc?.."

"Yes?"

It sounded like she'd moved away.

"Is there anything we can do?.. I mean.. in movies and stuff.. doctors always say that talking to someone in a coma can help them wake up.. Like they can hear it or something.. Is that true?.."

The doctor didn't answer for a moment, like she was trying to find the words, and Frank, mentally, held his breath.

"There is Some evidence of this being effective, but it's not entirely conclusive.. But in my opinion, I'd say- Go for it. It can't hurt, and it just might help."

"Thanks Doc.."

Ray said softly. Frank could hear the smile in his voice, then sharp heels clicking away.

".. I guess we keep talking to him then?"

~~~~*beep beep beep*

**Yes.. Please, PLEASE..**

But everything went quiet.

~~~~*beep beep beep*

"What do we say?"

Mikey's quiet voice disturbed the silence after a while.

"I don't know.."

Ray replied.

".. It's not like we can tell him about Gerard."

~~~~*beep beep beep*

**WHAT?.. WHAT ABOUT GERARD?.. WHAT'S WRONG WITH GEE?**

~~~~*beep beep beep*

"Shhh.."

Bob's voice hissed.

".. He might be able to hear you."

"Oh yeah.."

Frank could imagine Ray hanging his head.

".. Sorry"

~~~~*beep beep beep*

**No no. PLEASE TELL ME.. PLEASE**

If Frank had been conscious, he was pretty sure he'd be crying right about now.

**Please**

~~~~*beep beep beep*

Everything went quiet again, just the occasional cough or shuffling noise, and that damn ~~~~*beep beep, FUCKING beep*

Notes

Hi there my chipmunks.. Sorry it's been a while, but I keep getting distracted reading everyone else's EXCELENT work. ;)
i just wrote this while in hospital, hence my use of a little medical jargon, so I HOPE it's ok.
please comment, I'd love some more input, and NEXT chapter, we'll see how poor Gee is getting on.
peace out for now
