If you say, goodbye today

Four year old Gerard woke up terrified by his surroundings and sweating like crazy. "Gerard, Gerard it's ok you're in the hospital remember?" The nurse said in an attempt to soothe him. He frequently forgot where he was even though he's been in the hospital for over a month now. Four year old Gerard was diagnosed with leukemia and it had progressively gotten worse over only the past month. Not only that, but the doctors where pretty sure the young boy was also dealing with depression. "Hey, Gerard?" The nurse started. "I have some good news" Gerard's head perked up at that sentence hoping he would hear the news that he's going back home. "You're getting a roommate! And he's your age too." She explained hoping to get Gerard in a happier mood which he didn't seem to have much of these days.


The door swung open. "Oh that's him!" The nurse said in her irritating happy voice. A young boy with a black Mohawk and adorable hazel eyes holding the hand of a blonde nurse with way too much lipstick Walked in.(a/n: the nurse on the cover of that blink-182 album) The small boy walked up to Gerard. "I'm Fwank" the boy said. "Hi Frankie, im Gerard." He said back. Maybe Gerard would have a friend here after all.


Gerard jolted awake frightened by the screaming coming from Frankie who was in the bed next to him. "Frankie?? Are you ok?" A frightened Gerard asked. The boy was scratching at himself and fidgeting around in his bed, not staying still for a second. Gerard walked over to Frankie before he was cut off by a nurse running into the room. "Gerard stay away from him right now, you need to get back in your bed." The nurse scolded at him as another nurse came in and took Frankie out of the room.. "Wh- What's wrong with Frankie?" He asked. The nurse sighed. "He has schizophrenia. A disease where you cant tell what is real and what's not. He has hallucinations that he thinks are real which cause him to be like this." "Oh" Was all he responded not quite getting what the nurse was saying.


The the next morning Frankie was back in the room and him and Gerard were chatting. "What happened last night Frankie?" He asked. "Jinx was tewwing me dat I needed to jump out dat window and I kept saying no and she wouldn't listen to me." He explained like it was the most normal thing in the world. "These must be his hallucinations" Gerard thought to himself. "Oh ok." Gerard responded acting like it was normal too so the three year old wouldn't get upset.
