If only I knew he was going to visit the hanging tree.

(present)
frank and I waited in the waiting room for Mikey and his parents. I looked over at frank he was as nervous and scared as I was. He fiddled with his hands the silence of the emerge room unbearable, the clock ticked as frank and I slowly started to get impatient. “Frank are you okay?” I asked putting my hand on his shoulder. “Yeah…no” he said furrowing his eyebrows together, he looked over at me with sympathetic eyes “Are you okay?” he retorted. I hesitated and looked away “I’m not okay…” I said looking back at him. “They have been in there a while” I stated looking in the direction of the main hospital. “They are probably trying to get him back, he lost a lot of blood” frank said shaking his head. “I’m broken frank…I don’t think I can find someone to glue the pieces together this time” I sighed sadly thinking of Gerard. “I’m starting to crack” frank offered a small smile and knitted our hands together “we are going to get out of this alive” he said almost reassuring himself and I. “Gerard always said that to me” I said leaning my head agents franks shoulder. “I know” he lightly chuckled.
“Are you two in here for the way boy?” asked a male nurse “yeah” frank said looking up at him. “You won’t be able to visit him till Monday; we think its best that he gets help and is isolated from anything that might affect him” The man said jotting stuff down on a piece of paper. I shot up “what do you mean; he needs all the support he can get right now. We are practically the only thing he has left sibling wise” I sated angrily. Frank stood up grabbing my shoulders as if to calm me down “miss please calm down, the point of separating you from him is so he become independent and when he’s with his brother best friend and girlfriend he is constantly reminded of his loss. He needs major therapy” the man began jotting stuff down on his clipboard again. “Maggie I think its best we just let him get better” frank said now rubbing my back. “I can’t just leave him” I whispered tears starting to fall. The male nurse put his hand on my shoulder. “Miss Blackwood I would like you and Mr.Iero to come down to the hospital with your parents tomorrow.” He took out his paper and began writing again. “Why?’ frank and I asked “you too need therapy as much as Michael does” I looked at frank asking for his opinion “I want you to feel better” he whispered to me “yes, Maggie and I are interested in taking therapy” frank said smiling. I sighed. “You guys should go home” the man smiled “yeah I guess” I said turning and walking to the exit.

Frank trailed behind me, “Maggie, wait” he said jogging to the spot beside me. He stepped in front of me. “Look at me Mag’s” he said holding my shoulders “frank I don’t know how your keeping yourself together the way you are” I whimpered. His eyes filled with anger then sadness then concern than sadness again. He enveloped me in a warm embrace; I let my arms trail up to his back. I sniffled and completely let go of all concern I had about staying strong in front of people. I cried like I haven’t cried before. I could hear frank softly sniffling into my shoulder. His Sniffling then became whimpers as I whaled and cried into his chest. I pulled myself together a little bit “don’t leave me” he cried “I can’t let you leave too” he continued “you and him are the only things I have left” he confessed. He pulled away and looked at me “tell me everything frank” I said with sadness “are you sure?” he asked moving my raven hair behind my ear. “I’m as sure as I’ll ever be”. We sat in the field across from the hospital parking lot. “I’m slowly breaking down Maggie. I don’t know if I can even withstand the next year” he explain “sometimes I feel just so empty and I just feel lik-“ I cut him off “like ending it all because that’s the easiest way to go and you just hate life” I looked up at him. He looked down at me with these eyes. The most innocent looking eyes, I had to laugh at myself for thinking that; Frank was not an innocent boy. Frank leaned down to me, we were inches apart. I could feel his warm aura floating around me. What happened next I had to say I almost didn’t expect. Frank pressed his lips agents mine breaking the space between us. I missed this, feeling someone’s lips agents mine. It was pure Euphoria; I don’t think it mattered to me whether or not it was someone I loved or…someone I loved. I wanted to feel loved again, but it’s wrong.I can’t be with frank like this. i don’t think I can. But I’m not pulling away in fact as we speak the kiss is getting more heated. He now had me in his lap as his hands trailed up and down my back. “I need you to stay” he mumbled through the kiss. “i'll stay” I mumbled back.
