‘’Mikey! Mikey, don’t die on me! You can’t leave! I’ll have nothing left!’’ I shouted to Mikey’s body that was clinging to me. The blood. It was everywhere. I couldn’t stop it. It was everywhere. ‘’Mikey!’’ I shouted again. I pressed my forehead to his, listening to his raspy, labored breathing coming from his blood filled mouth ‘’Please. Please don’t.’’ I whispered and his breathing slowed, then stopped altogether. I sat there with my forehead pressed to his, praying and hoping for him to wake up.

I looked up, and around me. I looked at the darkness around me. Figures started appearing, they were surrounding me. They were expressionless, emotionless, and they were staring down at me. A small space opened up and two more figures appeared, but these ones I recognized. It was my father and his arm was wrapped around Frank’s throat, tugging him along. Frank was struggling to escape, grunting with every jerk.

‘’Hello, Gerard.’’ my father said. The way he said my name made want to stab him. I hated him, with every fiber of my being. I looked down at the lifeless Mikey in my arms.

‘’What did you do?’’ I spat at my father. I only took my eyes off of Mikey for a second.

‘’Here.’’ he said a threw Frank at me. Frank whimpered and I saw he had his arm tightly wrapped around his stomach. It was too late. He had a slice around his stomach and was bleeding out.

‘’You bastard!’’ I yelled. He just smirked, and disappeared.

‘’Gerard! Gerard, wake up!’’ someone shouted, shaking me. I looked up and saw Ryan. It was dark in the room but with the little amount of moonlight I could see a worried expression on his face. My back ached and I realized I was on the floor.

‘’What happened?’’ I groaned

‘’You fell on the floor and it woke me up.’’ he said and helped me to my bed. He was about to walk over to his bed but I grabbed his wrist. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

‘’Can you, uh, stay with me?’’ I asked quietly ‘’Like, sleep with me? I don’t want the nightmares to come back again. Please?’’ I asked, well begged more like. He nodded and I layed down. He layed down next to me. It felt weird at first, but he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled the blanket over us. I quickly fell into a dreamless sleep.
