Please Gerard

Gerard’s P.O.V

Walking slowly out of the hospital I stopped dead in my tracks, “What’s wrong?” Mikey asked “I forgot, my car is still at work…and I’m probably fired for just randomly disappearing during my shift” “Here we’ll stop by and pick up your car and you can explain to your boss” I just nodded trying to form my speech of what I was going to say to Mr. Castry. I jumped in to Mikey’s car and we headed down the road, Watching the turns and streets the ambulance made really good timing. At work, if I still had a job, Frank’s old coworker Jeremy would be probably working; hopefully boss was in today. I really hoped I wasn’t fired, I mean I could probably find another job but if Frank was still there, he wouldn’t have me to protect him or help him when he needs it. I look down and realize that I am still wearing my uniform. It has dirt all over it, mixed with tears. Great now people are going to think I work here.

It was really busy so the only parking spot was in the corner…next to the garbage bin. When I got out of the car I looked over to the spot where it all happened. All that was remaining was some footprints and dried blood from Frank’s head. I swallowed hard when I saw the blood and apparently Mikey saw too, he lightly pushed my shoulder guiding me into the shop. Entering the shop was the same nice coffee smell; there was a line about five waiting for coffee and it was moving pretty fast. “I’m going to get a coffee, you want one?” I nodded and he stood in line, he knew what to get me. I looked around, there was Jeremy making a coffee and at the register was I’m guessing Serena. Around the room there were a couple people on laptops and others chatting amongst each other. I took a deep breath and walked towards Mr. Castry’s office. I knocked like I always do and I heard a “Come in” from inside.

I slowly opened the door with a guilty look on my face, he looked up from his papers he was writing on “Oh Gerard, Come in.” He didn’t sound angry but you never know with some people. I walked in closing the door behind me, I just decided to blurt it out there “I know your probably really mad about me disappearing but something happened and Frank had to go to the hospital” “Gerard it’s okay, I heard” I gave a confused look, who told him, I know neither me or Frank did. I’m pretty sure Mikey didn’t tell him either. “The hospital called…Gerard that’s what’s great about working the last shift. No one comes in after you so I can close up whenever” “Oh” was all I can say. “You don’t have to come in to work tonight, I’ll close after Marla’s shift.”…”So I still have a job?” I asked “Of course Gerard, and so does Frank…Tell Frank that I hope he gets better” “Thank you so much Mr. Castry, I will. Can I go in back and get frank’s stuff” “Go right ahead” I grin and leave. Well that went better than expected.

Heading out of the office Mikey was sitting down at a table playing on his phone, I walk up to him and he looks up “How did it go?” “Great actually, we still have a job, he’s giving me the night off, and apparently the hospital called him and explained” “That’s good, here’s your coffee” he handed me a warm cup of coffee. “Thanks, Okay now I need to get Frank’s stuff from the back” he nodded and looked back down at his phone. I headed to the back when someone called me “Hey who are you?” I turn around and Jeremy was behind me “I work here at the night shift, I’m Frank’s Coworker” I responded… “Oh your Frank’s coworker?” he giggled “What’s so funny?” I asked…”Frank had like a huge crush on you the day you showed up” I couldn’t help but blush a little “Well he’s my boyfriend now, so I guess it worked out” I smiled “That’s great man, it’s good to see someone that can put a smile on his face”… “Thanks, but Frank left his stuff here yesterday so I came by to get it” “Okay, well great meeting you but I have to help the snobby teenagers who Instagram there coffee, Tell Frank I said hi” “will do” and he walked back behind the counter. I smiled even more just thinking about how Frank had a crush on me since the first time I worked here.

After grabbing his phone, wallet and gum I headed back out. Mikey was staring at his phone, trying to make a decision. “What’s wrong?” “Oh Alicia wants to meet up but I’m with you so I’m deciding a way to tell her I can’t” “Mikey you can go ahead and meet her” …”Are you sure?” “Yes, I feel so much better knowing that Frank’s alright and I’m just going to head back home, take a nap, shower then go back to the hospital.” “Okay, tell Frank I said sorry I couldn’t come by” “He’ll understand” we both headed out to the parking lot and gave a huge hug “Thanks so much Mikey” I said “Anything for you” he replied. He got in his car and me in mine. I was still a little worried for Frank but he told me to take a nap, which I could use. I drove home when the Sum 41 song Crash came on, I instantly changed knowing that song made me quite sad; and in this situation even sadder.

I walked in to my home; it sent chills down my spine how lonely it was. Even though I spent most of my time alone in this house without Frank it just seemed dull. I made my way to the bedroom placing Frank’s things on the table. Did he even want me to call his parents? I wasn’t sure so I’ll ask him at the hospital. I decided to take a quick shower, looking down I didn’t even realize that my knees were scratched up. I washed my hair and body wishing that Frank was here with me. I gave a little chuckle at the thought of him standing here right in front of me, me washing his hair and…some other things. I put on some boxers and slowly made my way into bed. Great now the sad thoughts are coming. Looking at the empty space where Frank would be laying I could smell his scent. I turned over staring at the clock 2:00 PM. I let out a big sigh, Slowly my eyes were getting droopy and I eventually fell asleep
