I'll be here

I walked out onto the stage, wheeling the oxygen tank behind me. I heard a few people gasp from the audience. Normally I didn't mind when people looked at me when I was on stage, but now I hated it. They were looking at me because I was sick. I sighed and walked over to the amps. I looked up at the audience and everyone was looking at me and whispering. Gee walked over and looked at me.
"You okay?" He asked softly. I shook my head and looked down at the ground.
"They're staring at me and I hate it" I whispered. He pulled me into a hug and held me tightly.
"Ignore them, focus on your guitar and pretend they're not here, okay?" I nodded and he pulled away. He smiled and walked away to the microphone. Ray walked over and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
"I told you to stop smoking" He smiled and ruffled my hair.
"I'll miss you.."
"Don't say that. You still have a little while before... that and we're with you all the way"
I sniffed and rested my head on his shoulder.

After the show, Gee helped me get over to the signing table.
"They're going to ask questions" I said.
"You don't have to answer them Frankie" He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and smiled.
"You know you're going to have to find a new guitarist soon"
"No I don't. Without you there is no My Chemical Romance" He sat down and pulled me down next to him.
"If they ask you anything, ignore it and sign their stuff" I nodded and adjusted the cannula. I looked down the line and saw I was close to the end, I was glad about that. I looked at Gee and smiled. He always made me feel better when I was sad, I have a crush on him, but I know he will never like me back.

A girl walked up to me and smiled.
"Hey Frank" I looked away from Gee and smiled.
"Hey" She looked at the cannula and her smile faded.
"Are you okay?" She asked, as she looked down at the oxygen tank.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll be better in a few weeks, I don't really even need this" I took the cannula out and set it in my lap. Gee looked at me, worriedly.
"Frank, put it back in" He said. I looked at him and smiled.
"I'm fine" I looked back at the girl. "Do you want anything signed?" She nodded and put a MCR poster on the table. I signed next to my head and handed it back to her. She walked away and I looked back at Gee. He sighed and picked up the cannula and put it back in.
"Don't do that again" I leaned into him and sniffed.
"I hate my life" I whispered. He wrapped his arms around me.
"Do you want to go back to the bus?" I nodded and he stood up.
"Sorry guys. Signing is over" A lot of people started complaining.
"Get better Frankie!" Someone yelled from the audience. I smiled slightly and stood up. Gee wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked back to the bus.
"What are you doing tomorrow Frankie?" He asked.
"Watch movies, I guess"
"Can I join you?" I nodded and got onto the bus. I walked over to my bunk and climbed in.
"Goodnight Frank"
"Night Gee" I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
