Mikey's POV

I slowly woke from my unconscious state, my head was so painful and I couldn't help a little groan of pain escape my lips. I lifted my heavy eye lids to reveal my vision was blurred. In front of me my glasses lay broken on the floor. Great. I tried to make out objects in the room and could easily see my brother laying limp on the other side of the room. That caused the tears to start up again. I let them fall silently and kept looking around the room. The monster's blurred figure was laying on the couch and, from what I could see, was asleep.

I decided to take action.

I willed myself to move and very quickly regretted it. I let out a soft whimper as all the pain hit me at once. It all pulsed through me and didn't seem to leave but I knew I had to get up. I counted to three in my head and forced myself to get up. I winced at all the pain and even more droplets slid down my cheeks. I managed to get up onto my hands and knees and stayed still in that position for a few minuets, trying to get used to it. My whole body was trembling and every now and again a weak and pathetic sound would escape my mouth. Slowly, I started to crawl forwards towards Gerard. With every single small movement I made more agony washed over me. After what like hours I reached Gee, looking over him as he laid there, skin as white as paper and black hair falling over his face.

I couldn't see any signs of life in him. Oh god, be alive was the only thing running through my head as I carefully reached out and placed my hand on his neck, franticly searching for a pulse. I let out a tiny sigh of relief when I felt movement from underneath his skin. His heart was still beating which meant my brother was still alive! I even dared to let the corners of my cut lips curl into a tiny smile but it wasn't there for to long. Gerard's pulse was so weak and I didn't know how long he could hold on. I had to get help and I had to get it fast.

I shuffled over to the small table in the middle of the room and used it to help pull me up. I put all my strength into dragging myself up but as soon as I put even the smallest amount of weight onto my left leg. It buckled and I fell back down.

A cry of pain emitted from deep in my chest and I mentally kicked myself for being so loud. I could hear a rustle and looked up to see the fuzzy shape of the monster move. Fear was mixed in with the pain and I felt completely sick, like I was going to throw up.

After taking a few minuets to get used to the feeling I decided to get out of there. I wasn't going to be cool night air was over my features. How long was I out? The sun had just stared rising the last time I was awake so it must have been a couple of hours at the least.

I crawled out and carefully shut the door behind me, making sure to make the least amount of noise possible. Looking down the street I couldn't see anyone. They must have all been cuddled up in their beds, safe from any monsters or terrors. I hope they all realise how lucky they are.

I quickly started on my way to Fate's house, stopping every so often to let my joints take a break.

The dark sky never seemed to leave my side and the wind did not once cease to chill my bones and whip my face and leave it sting. I struggled to move forwards and quickly found myself crawling but it was all worth it to save my brothers life. I kept going, pain shooting me from all angles but it wasn't enough to stop me. I let out a silent thank you to the wind when I saw Fate's house come into view and pushed myself to go even faster to get there.

I knocked on the door as loudly as I could, trying to stand as I waited for it to open. I heard shouted come from inside the house and listened carefully to figure out it was Fate and her mum. I heard one side shout that it's to early for anyone to be knocking on the door then I heard the other shout back about going to bed. I silently prayed that Fate hadn't been the one going back to sleep. I hoped that I wouldn't have to explain the whole situation to her mum.

The door started to open and Fate's head looked around the door. I let out a sigh of relief and let her help me into the house. Her face was panicked and shocked and she looked as if she hadn't slept properly. Another thing I had noticed was how skinny she had become. It was strange, I know, for me to notice a girl's weight in such a serious time, but this was different, this girl was slowly going to kill herself.

I was brought out of my head and back to reality when Fate sat me on the sofa and looked me dead on in the eye. "It's been three days, Mikey! Where in fucks name have you been?" She asked, tears starting to collect in her eyes. "Where's your brother?" Her voice came out as barley a whisper. I told her all I could remember and then broke down in her arms. I couldn't help it! I was in so much pain and my brother was so badly injured. "I shouldn't have left him but I needed to get help." I whispered as my friend held me tight.

"Look, we have to phone an ambulance and the police; this can't go on, Mikey." I shook my head. Police mean trouble, I had never seen them as anything more then dangerous and unfair. What if they separated me and Gee? I told Fate my fears about being parted but she just looked at me and told me that the police where getting involved if we wanted Gerard to get better.

I would rather have a brother that I'd never see then a dead brother.

She picked up her phone and told them about me and Gee then hung up and looked at me. "They'll go get your brother and then come to collect you." She looked me up and down, taking in all the damage I had received. "It's bad, to say the least." She told me, frowning slightly.

Fate ran out to the kitchen and returned with a damp cloth. She gently brought it up and at my forehead, making it sting. "Is it bad?" I asked in an innocent voice. She sighed and paced me a mirror, making me gasp in shock at my reflection. My eye was black and swollen, my cheek had a few grazes and on my forehead, slightly to the right I had the biggest gash. It looked deep. Very deep. I hadn't even felt it due to my whole body entering a state of numbness. I wanted to puke, it looked horrible.

"Do you feel dizzy?" She asked. I nodded. I really just wanted to go back to sleep. I was so freaking tired. Fate must have noticed this because she quickly ran out of the room and came back with a blanket, handing it to me and then passing me a cushion. I took both of them gratefully and quickly fell into the darkness of sleep.

Fate's POV

I looked at the younger way brother and could see him practically fighting to keep his eyes open. I ran to the cupboard and fetched him a blanket and cushion then watched him wrap himself up and fall into a deep sleep. I couldn't help but keep my eyes fixed on his head. Seeing him like that really hurt me. I couldn't believe anyone would want to do anything so bad to such a sweet boy. I hope that they brought back the death penalty back just so I could watch the bastard that did this hang,

The loud knock on the door brought me back from my dark thoughts of what that man deserved.

"Fate, who the hell is at the door now?" My mum yelled down to me.

"The police." I yelled back, hoping it didn't wake Mikey. I had a mental image of my mums reaction as I opened the door to a man and woman that both stood in front of me in their uniform. "Please help my friend." I begged. They nodded and walked in just as my mum came down the stairs, eyes barley open. I showed them where Mikey was and a few more men walked in, parrying Mikey out into an ambulance. "I want to go with him!" I told them, trying to chase them, but the policewoman stopped me by holding an arm out and flashing a sympathetic smile.

"We just need to ask a few questions..." She started.

"I will answer anything when I'm in the hospital." I said, keeping my eyes on her, knowing that I looked like I was about to break any second. The truth was, I was so confused and just wanted to know that the brothers where going to be all right. The police woman nodded and showed me out to the car parked. She got in the front, along with the gentleman and I climbed into the back, quickly followed by my mum, who gave me a questioning look. "What in gods name have you done now, Fate?" She asked, looking worried.

"I promise I will explain everything when we get into the hospital."

Oh no, what's going to happen? AHHHHHHH! Hehe. Hope you enjoyed it ^-^ *cough* Review please *cough*
