Secondhand Smoke

Frank and I say staring at one another for a few minutes before he began to speak again.
"Gerard, I think.. I think I tried to kill you."
I felt like my heart was going to explode.
"What do you mean, Frank?" I urged him to explain more.
"I keep getting these.. flashbacks. One second we're driving, and the next I'm grabbing the wheel and pulling it, and the car is rolling. I think I did this, Gee. I think I killed myself. I dont think it was my fault. I hear these voices-"
"Frankie, I know about them. I've been reading your journal, and it's okay, I understand. I know you thought I would leave you if you told me, but I understand."
He threw his arms around my neck and pulled me in for a hug. "Gee, I'm so sorry I didnt tell you."
"It's okay, it's okay. But please, tell me why you pulled the wheel while I was driving."
Tears spilled onto Frank's cheeks and he quickly wiped them with his sleeve.
"The voices told me that the only way for us to die together was to pull the wheel. They said if I don't end both of our lives together, then you will die before me and I would be left alone and I just couldn't live with that. I can't be alone. So, I did it so we would be together, always."
I couldn't believe what my ears were hearing.
"You did this so that we would die together?" He nodded his head and looked down at his hands.
"Yeah, but obviously it didn't work." His eyes met mine and a small smile played on his lips. "But I'm glad it didn't work, Gee. I see now that you need to live. You have people to live for. You have your mom, and Mikey. I didn't have anyone but you. You need to live for the both of us now, and that's just how it has to be."
"Frank, I could have a million people to live for, but if they aren't you, then it doesn't matter."
