You only hear the music when your heart begins to break

*Mikey's POV*

"Frank?.. You seen my iPod anywhere?" I call toward the kitchen area.
Frank poked his head around the curtain that separates the bunks from the rest of the bus "No Mikes.." He said, sheepishly ".. Where.. Where'd you l..last see it?"
Fuck!.. Was he scared of me?.. I mean, I KNOW I probably went too far before, but he's never been AFRAID of me "Err.. I don't know.." I admit ".. Frank?.." He hummed at me to continue ".. I'm sorry about.." I pointed to his bruised face. His eyebrows furrowed and he looked to the floor ".. I was outta line. You didn't deserve that"
Frank looked up at me "You were protecting your brother. I GET that.." He sighed deeply, shaking his head a bit, his long hair flapping around his face ".. And I don't blame you for kicking the shit outta me.. It's my fault he's drinking again.. Right?"
I stared at Frank for a minute. He looked so totally defeated right now, and I kinda just wanted to give him a hug, and tell him that everything would be alright. But I didn't "I don't know Frank.. He's been a mess for so long, I don't think even HE knows why anymore.." I frowned, examining my chewed fingernails ".. Did he say he was going outside?"
Frank looked behind him, toward the door off the bus, then turned back to me "I think he said something about getting a signal?" He said it as a question, like he wasn't sure he was right.
I pulled my cell from it's place in my bunk. No signal "Yeah, I guess.." I thought for a minute ".. How long's he been gone?"
Without another word, we both headed outside.
As I stepped down onto the baked highway, Ray and Ronnie appeared from the back of the bus "We fixed it!.." Ray cheered, wiping greasy hands against his jeans, a huge grin spread across his face ".. Las Vagas here we come.." His smile dropped quickly though, when he saw the looks on Frank and my faces ".. What's wrong?"
Frank coughed and blinked against the harsh desert sun "Have you guys seen Gee?"
Ray shook his head "I thought he was inside" Ronnie thumped his fist against the side of the bus, making us all jump, but he said nothing.
"We think he came out to get a signal.." I said, holding up my phone to show them that I had zero bars ".. That was a while ago though"
"Fuck.." Ray muttered ".. We better look for him.. I'm not sure he knows how dangerous it is out here"
But where?.. How do you find someone in the middle of nowhere?.. Where do you even start looking?
Oh Gerard, PLEASE be ok?.. You're an idiot about 99% of the time, but you're my brother, and I love you.. Where the FUCK did you go now?...
