I should have never been driving

I woke up in a haze, people in white coats rushing in and out of the room. The clinical smell hit my nose and I knew straight away where I was. I was in my own personal hell. I remember my whole body going stiff and it hurting to breathe. I remember Frank riding out his orgasm before my eyes went heavy and then it all went dark. There was nothing on the other side, it was was just dark and empty.
“Mr Way?” I heard a woman next to me say softly, leaning over me to adjusting the IV bag next to me. “Mmhh?” Was all I managed to get out. I looked down at my arm to see a needle and felt queasy “did you have to put me out to put that thing in?” I asked, my voice cracking. They must have done, I would have remembered someone coming towards me with a needle because I fucking hate those things. “That’s not the reason you were sedated, after your friend managed to pull you back from the brink, you managed to kick a couple of our paramedics before they had to sedate you because you were inconsolable. You were out when we put the line in though” she said, walking to the end of the bed.
”what’s the last thing you remember?” She asked. “Frank. Wait, back from the brink?” I asked confused, moving myself up the bed a little.
“You went into cardiac arrest. You stopped breathing .” She said looking up at me from her clipboard.
“strain was put on your heart, due to your injuries” she said taking a pen out of her pocket and writing something down.
“I was on the otherside. Was I.. was I dead?” I asked, still confused.
“Not quite. You’re lucky that your friend knows CPR, he was able to bring you back” she said sincerely.
My eyes darted around the room “Where is he?” I said bluntly.
“He’s right outside, I need to check you over and ask you a few questions and then you can see him” she said putting the clipboard back in the holder at the end of the bed.
I started to panic. “I need to see him” I said frantically, my breathing hitched and my chest got tighter as I sat up. I started to pull things off my body. I took the blood pressure cuff off my arm and ripped the needle out. “I GOTTA SEE HIM!” I yelled trying to get up, I was able to put my weight onto one foot before falling back. “You went into cardiac arrest because your body couldn’t handle the amount of pain you were in.” She said, trying to stop me from getting up. “You need to rest”
I tried as hard as I could go fight, to get out of bed but my body felt so weak that I fell back. “Fraank” I tried to yell hoarsely.
“Please calm down Mr Way!” She said in an assertive tone over the machines that were beeping behind me. I pulled the tube out of my nose and pushed my hair out of my face trying to calm down “I gotta see him” I choked.
My whole body ached “morphine, make it stop” I croaked.
“stop fighting and I’ll be able to help” she said softly trying to help me get comfortable “can I get some painkillers please?” She said to her colleague. He nodded before leaving the room.
She reattached the IV line and the nurse came back in with the pain meds I looked away as she put the needle in.

I felt the morphine flush through me. After awhile my body relaxed and and I drifted off.

I must have been out for awhile because it was almost dark outside. My gaze drifted over to the figure on the other side of me. It was Frank. He was alseep, slumped into his chair with his hair over his face. His eyes were red and puffy and his lips are dark pink and swollen.
“Frank” I croaked, trying to move up the bed.
His eyes fluttered open and he sat up, “h-how are you feeling?” He said tucking his hair behind his ear.
“I’m okay. Thanks to you” I say reaching out my hand.
“I thought... I thought I lost you” he said quietly, looking down at his feet.
“Well I’m not going anywhere, alright?” I say, grabbing his hand. “I’m not going anywhere. I’m sorry for ruining the trip” I said softly. “Don’t be silly Gerard, it’s not your fault. We have one day left of the trip and if the doctors say that you’re in the all clear my mom said I could borrow the car and we can go on a drive to the city” he said with a small smile.
I rang the bell to get the nurse to see if I could go. Holding on to the possibility that I’d be able to spend the rest of the time I have before going back home, back to school with Frank
”ah good, you’re awake” the nurse said walking through the door holding my belongings. “How are you feeling?” He asked walking to the other side of me. “a lot better“ I said croakily pushing hair out of my face. “That’s good. Its safe to say that you can be discharged. Your results came back fine, you just need plenty of rest, we’ll prescribe some pain medication and you can be on your way” he said with a smile, placing my things on the bed next to me.
“Thank you, for everything.” I said looking up at him before he left the room.
I shot a glance at Frank before swing my legs off the bed slowly. “Can you undo the strings on this thing I asked, looking down at the hospital gown draped over me.
He kneeled on the bed behind me and slowly undid the strings at the back of the gown. “Where’s my underwear?” I ask looking at my things “you only managed to get your jeans on. I must not have picked them up at the hotel. “Oh”

I managed to put my shirt over my head and slip my jeans in slowly, trying not to move to fast and I stood up. “I’m gonna go to the bathroom to clean myself up a bit, do you mind gathering my things?” I asked
“sure” he replied behind me.
I splashed my face with cold water and patted it dry with a paper towel.
I didn’t even recognise my reflection stairing back at me.

I closed the door behind me on the way out of the restroom to see frank sitting on the side of the hospital bed “Jamie text you.” He said looking up from my phone. “Frank.. w-why are you looking through my phone?” I asked hesitantly, walking towards him. “I dropped it and it was unlocked when I picked it up. I wanted to see what you had my number saved under and I saw it. why didn’t you say anything?” He said, fumbling to to give my phone back to me. “I didn’t want it to ruin the trip. I was trying to ignore it Frank” I breathed.
“Gerard, the paramedic said that you must have been in a substantial amount of pain.” He said putting his hands on his hips. “We we’re having sex, why didn’t you tell me you were hurting, I thought you were just breathing heavy because I was on top..?” He asked, his voice cracking. “I needed you to distract me, I didn’t wanna feel it anymore. I just wanted you” I sighed. picking up my things
“I just wanted to feel good. I wanted you to feel good.” I said pulling him in for a hug. “Frank, you saved me. Thank you” I whispered into his neck.
“let’s get out of here” he said Pulling back and looking me in the eyes. I grabbed his hand and we walked to the door to find a doctor to get my prescription and to discharge myself.
I just want to sleep. I just need Frank.
