You only hear the music when your heart begins to break

“Because I still love you.”..

*Gerard's POV*

I'm hearing things!.. I MUST be!
"Gee?.. Baby, did you hear me?" Frankie said gently, as he stroked my sweaty hair from my face.
"I'm dreaming.." I squeezed my eyes shut ".. This.. This is a dream.. The heat.. They.. They didn't come.. Why.. Why would they?.." I turned away from the phantom Frankie, as he tried to talk to me again, concern shining in his beautiful hazel eyes. I continued muttering quietly to myself ".. They left me.. Better off now I'm.. Want to wake up now.. Need to.. They.. Urgh.. Fuck.. My head.." I brought a shaky hand up to my forehead, but before I could touch my burning skin, a smaller, cool hand took mine ".. Just a dream, just a dream, just a dream.." I chanted, my words slurring slightly ".. Need.. Fuck.. Stop.. Please.." But the hand remained, feeling solid and sure, wrapped around my trembling fingers. I'd never had an hallucination that felt so real.. So true.
Peeling my tired eyes open, I looked at the hand that held mine.
On the backs of the fingers were simply inked letters. Near the knuckles were the letters- H A LL O, and further down the fingers that I knew SO well, B O W and R.
I would recognise those tattoos anywhere. To be honest, I'd know those hands in the dark, just by the way they feel against my skin ".. F.. Frankie?" I whimpered.
"It's me baby. It's REALLY me" His soft voice said, close to my ear.
"You.. I don't understand.. You HATE me.." I cried, my works choking me.
"NO!.. No, never!.. I could NEVER hate you baby.. I LOVE you, ya idiot.." He was crying as he pressed a kiss to my brow. I felt his tears splash against my cheek ".. Don't you EVER disappear like that again.. You hear me?"
I sobbed and tried to move closer to him. Within a second, he was climbing into my bunk and pulling me into his side, wrapping himself around me like a protective blanket.
I clung on tight to him.. STILL not 100% convinced this was real.. But for now, I'd take it.
We lay in silence for a while, just the sounds of our breaths, and the occasional sniff from both of us.
After about half an hour, Ray popped his head in the bunk "Hey guys.. We're about to set off.. We're gonna head to the hospital when we get to town.. Just to get you checked out.. Ok?"
I nodded against Frankie's warm chest, feeling too tired to talk now, and Ray vanished back down the bus.
I closed my eyes and yawned wide, hearing my jaw click slightly "Baby?.." Frankie murmured against my hair. I hummed for him to continue ".. NEVER think that I don't love you"
"Ok Frankie" And with that, I fell asleep...
