"No no no its gonna be okay. Frank's right here with me. Gerard I need you to look up!"Mikey shouted, his voice sounded distant all of a sudden. And I couldnt feel his hands on my legs. I opened my eyes to see Mikey's hands were no longer on me. In fact he wasn't even in the room. Neither was Frank's body. I was still alone and tied up, dying for the water on the table.

I took in a deep breath to try and calm myself before bursting into laughter. I couldnt stop myself from laughing even though nothing about the situation was funny.
"What the fuck are you laughing at?"Someone said behind me. The click of Chloe's heels moved in front of me and I saw her properly.

She was wearing her read scarf and her blonde hair was pulled back into a bun. She had no make up on though, leaving her face pale. Her eyes were sunken in and she looked pissed.
"I asked you a question fuck face."
"It was just a hallucination! Ha!"I giggled, throwing my head back at the sheer relief.

"What did you see?"Chloe crouched down in front of me, tilting my head to look at her.
"Cole shot Frank and then he brought Mikey in here to do the same. But it was just a hallucination! Oh my god,"I grinned at her.
"You sure about that? You sure you didnt just pass out?"She raised an eyebrow at me.

"What do you mean?"I said in a low voice.
"I'm thinking that, no, it wasnt a hallucination. It was more, you passed out from the over load of pain and emotions over seeing Frank die. Mikey's out back right now. If you listen carefully you can probably hear his screams,"She smiled.
"You're lying..."
"Why would I lie to you Gerard?"Chloe cocked her head to the left, studying me with a sinister smile.

"Because you hate me. Because you lied to me for 2 years. Its what you do,"I stared her in the eyes, trying to find some shred of evidence that she was lying. She had to be. But what I found in her eyes wasnt her mocking me. Or lies. It looked like sadness. And regret.
"I'm not lying Gerard,"She said softly and looked down.
"No no no no no you are lying tell me you're lying,"I shook my head, closing my eyes and squeezing my fists.

"Gerard I never wanted it to come to this,"She sighed even softer.
"Chloe tell me you're lying!"I shouted, jerking my head to look at her again. She was grinning.
"Yeah I'm lying. I had you going though didnt I,"She chuckled and moved away. I started panting heavily, trying to calm my heart but nothing would work.

"Hey Gerard, calm down. Here, have some water,"She sighed and shoved the bottle at my lips,"Cole said we have to sort of look after you anyway."
I gulped the water down and cleared my throat,"How long have I been here?"
"Closing in on two days now."
"Jesus..."Two days. It was Frank's birthday tomorrow. Mikey had to have figured out what I meant by now. He had to.
