Without You Is How I Disappear

Mikey's POV-

I sat unable to do anything as I saw my brother walk into the kitchen grab an ice pack and hold it to his face. It sickened me. His boyfriend had started to abuse him and it made me sad to see Gerard with tear stained cheeks. My beautiful angel of a brother, he didn't deserve to be used by a jackass like Frank. He walked over and sat next to me on the couch. He knew that I was aware of his situation but he still tried to pass off his bruises as nothing more than accidents. But I knew that whatever happened to Gerard was unintentional. Sometimes I just wanted to kill Frank. The bastards' only reason for abusing Gerard was the fact that he couldn't deal with his attraction to the same sex. His girlfriend had broken up with him when she had walked in on him kissing Gerard. Talk about coming out of the closet. He had no right to treat Gerard the way he did. As I turned to face Gerard I noticed that he was transfixed with the forecast on TV. I slipped my hand into his and gave a light squeeze, he didn't even notice. By the look on his face he was probably running through all the horrible things that Frank had done to him today. I wished that I could take all his pain away. "So what was it this time?" I asked him as I slipped my hand out of his, not wanting him to realize how I felt. "I told him I didn't love him like I loved him yesterday." He whispered as tears started running down his cheeks. I gaped at him; I was shocked that he had said something like that to Frank. I collected myself after a while. "So what made you realize that?"
