*the next day* (Still Gerard's p.o.v)

I had decided to do it. I had decided to ring Quinn and tell her. I’d already tried to plan the conversation out in my head but I still didn’t know how I was going to tell her. But it was only fair that she knew and I couldn’t keep it from her any longer because that just wouldn’t be right. And I wanted her to be there. I wanted her to be at Mikey’s funeral in two days. I needed her there and she needed to say goodbye to her best friend. And I shouldn’t stop that. I picked up the phone and dialled the number on the back of the letter. The phone hummed and I shuffled nervously from foot to foot. I’d asked mum to help me tell Quinn but she just stared blankly at me like I wasn’t her child and dad still wasn’t back. Yep that’s right, packed all his sh*t up and just left me and mum in this house. It’s so quiet that it scares me. It shouldn’t be like this…It just shouldn’t be so quiet. When a voice creeped out the phone I jumped back in surprise.

¬”Um, hello…”

“Hi there. Is that Quinn?”

¬”Yeah, yeah it is. Um, who is this?”

“Oh yeah, sorry I forgot to mention. Its Gerard.”

¬”Oh, hi Gerard how are you? how’s life? How’s home? How’s Mikey? How’s everything going?”

“Well. I’m good thanks Quinn. Life is okay, I suppose, how are you? You liking the new house?”

¬”Yeah, yeah. It’s okay… I suppose. It’s weird though. It feels like I don’t belong there. I’d much rather be with you guys! Oh, by the way. When do you guys want to meet?”

“Um, yeah same. I’m mis… I-I mean, we…We are missing you lots too!”

¬“Cool, how’s my Mikey doing?”

“Mikey?”

¬“Yeah, how’s my best friend doing? I feel so bad that I didn’t get to tell him that we were moving but I’m assuming that he got the letter. How is little cobra kid! I miss him so much! I haven’t spoken to him in the past week and that feels like forever! It’s not that I don’t like you Gerard but could I speak to him now?!”

“Um……”

¬“Gerard are you okay?”

“Yeah, yeah I’m okay…”

¬“Can I speak to him then?

“Who?”

¬”Mikey!”

“Um…”

¬”Is he busy! Well that’s okay. I just wanted to talk to him about personal stuff and that…”

“What, are you okay Quinn?”

¬”Yeah. I’m fine it’s just that, well… You promise not to tell anyone Gee. I don’t want people finding out in case Mikey doesn’t feel the same way. But… this is probably going to be weird for you to hear but… well I like your brother.”

“Oh”

¬”Is that okay with you?”

“Yeah. Why wouldn’t it be?”

¬”I thought that it might be a bit strange.”

“No, no its fine that you liked my brother…”

¬”…So… Can I talk to him?”

……

¬”He’s okay isn’t he Gerard?!”

“Um, not really no…”

¬”Why what’s wrong?! He’s not in hospital again, is he?!!”

“No, No. He’s not in hospital. Not this time…”

¬”Oh. Phew! That’s good!”

“Is it?”

¬”Why? Why wouldn’t that be good?”

“Well….”

¬”If he’s not in hospital then he can’t be seriously ill, so that is good!”

“But Quinn…”

¬”What?”

“Hospitals don’t care for hearts that have stopped…”

Notes

Hiya guys. Well I said that I might start to write some more and it looks like I am back. I was going to write this as a sequal and as a new story but I am lazy so just thought that I'd continue writing on here. Pls note: I probably wont be updating quite as much as I always seem to be getting a ton of homework.
Won't be uploading anymore tonight though as I can barely see the keys in the dark and the light from the screen is now starting to attract flies and moths. Hope you;ve all had a nice day and that this was okay. :) Xxx
