A/N This is the final chapter in this fan fiction, but I'll probably write a new one some time before the end of May. Happy reading :')
Gerard's POV
I woke up at 1:00am and stared at the dimly lit lamp shade dangling from my ceiling through blurry eyes. My head was throbbing with pain, so I guessed I'd hit my head on the way down to the ground. I peered around my room, but there was no sign of Frank. I'd really fucked up this time. Great going Gee!
I noticed a folded up piece of paper at the bottom of my bed which had my name on it. I knew it was from Frank by the way he wrote the G in my name. I missed him so much, even though he could have been just upstairs. I craved him. If I could just have his arms around me, I'd be happy. I unfolded the paper and read the words that lead me to the reality of things.
Dear Gerard,
I hope you're okay after your little ordeal last night. I've gone to stay with my Aunt in New York for the weekend, just so I can clear my head. I'll be back on Sunday at 7:00pm. Hopefully you won't have left for Japan by then. My aunt's number is on the back if you need me, but I doubt that.
I love you forever and always
Frank
I scrunched the note into a ball and threw it across the room. My body curled up into a ball and I cried my heart out. I now had to decide whether to follow my dreams or keep Frank's alive. It was too much. I had to make my mind up soon, and then tell Frank when he got back.
"Gerard?" I was drained of energy, so I didn't look up, but I knew it was Mikey at once. "Are you okay?" I heard the sound of paper being unfolded. Oh god. Now Mikey had found the letter. I knew now he'd tell mum, and then it'd be an utterly chaotic night in the Way household.
Mikey's POV
As my eyes skimmed the letter, I felt them welling up with tears. I couldn't lose my big brother! He's the only good thing I have left in this fuck of a world!
"Oh" was all I could manage. I was completely destroyed by the news.
"Look, Mikey. I mi-" I cut Gerard off by running out of the room. I went straight out of the door and ran to Frank's house.
I got to the bungalow just as Frank was locking the door, and I collapsed at the end of the foot path.
"MIKEY! What the fuck are you doing here?" He picked me up and laid me down in the back seat of his car. We set off back to my house and sat in the garden until Gerard came out. He stood still in the doorway and stared from me to Frank. He came and sat down with us, and we spoke about the matter at hand.
It was now past midnight, and we'd reached the end of our conversation.
"So Gee" Frank said as they finished hugging. "What's happening with Japan?" My eyes began to fill with tears again. We stood in the silence for a good 10 minutes before anyone said anything. It was Gerard who spoke.
"They accepted me. I'm leaving for Japan in 10 days"
