Gerard woke up on the hospital bed again. 'Frank…' he whispered before losing consciousness and falling asleep.


Over a couple of days Gerard was healing and then Vivian and Mikey were able to go and see him. Gerard was too ashamed to make eye contact or speak with either when they entered the room.

'Gerard…' Mikey sighed.

Gerard just lay there in the bed hoping they would leave him alone.

'Why would you go and do this to yourself?' Mikey asked.


Frank spend most of his time walking around this place as he didn't need to sleep or eat, nothing could harm him here; well, not physically. He got bored again so he started talking to himself again.

'Gerard, how I love you,' was something Frank loved saying to himself and imagining Gerard could hear him.


Gerard closed his eyes and imagined were not there and that he had no one to answer to. But he did. He thought he heard Frank. But it could've been just another side effect of the pills he's taking.

Mikey crossed his arms. 'I'm not leaving without an answer.'


Frank started thinking about what Gerard might be doing now, trying to distract himself from the dull landscape in front of him.

'I hope Gee is enjoying himself.' Frank mumbled to himself as he zigzagged on the floor. 'Why don't they have TV's here?' Frank laughed at his own stupidity.


Gerard smiled. At nothing really. He wasn't paying attention to the outside world. He just smiled. He put it down as another side effect of the pills.

Seeing a random grin on his brother's face, Mikey turned to Vivian. 'How can he find this funny?' he asked rhetorically. She shrugged. He turned back to Gerard. 'Gee, listen here. We just wanna know if you're ok now?'


Frank closed his eyes and still zigzagged humming 'Welcome to the Black Parade' when fell on the ground by tripping over a rock.

'Oww. Stupid rock!' Frank said as he stood up and kicked the rock on to fall down again. 'Aww, shit!' Frank grinned and took the rock and threw it in a random direction; this was the most fun he had in a couple of days.


Gerard didn't know why but he spoke quietly to himself. 'I could entertain you better…' he said.

'He's not making sense...' Mikey noted, shaking his head.

'Let's leave him for now... Poor guy…' Vivian frowned.

Frank couldn't move. Had he just heard Gerard? He would never mistake Gee's voice. Was it his mind? He knew Gerard wasn't here if he was Frank would've felt it. Maybe it was his mind playing tricks? Oh well, even if it is his mind he might as well answer and pretend he may really be talking to Gee. 'And how are you planning on doing that?' he asked.

Gerard thought he was going mental. Maybe he was. As long as it'll make them go away, he will keep being crazy. 'I have lots in mind' he smiled.

'Gee, what do you mean?' Mikey asked worryingly.

Vivian felt for Gerard. He went through a lot, and she understood if he wanted to be left alone. She grabbed Mikey's hand and pulled him back. 'Come on, let's go. I don't think he wants to talk now.'

Frank grinned; this conversation was turning interesting. 'Care to share?' He was pretty happy something was happening. But he knew deep in his heart that this wasn't his mind talking but he ignored it for now.

Gerard smiled and his eyes were all sparkly. He knew he was going crazy, but he could blame it on the doctors. 'Well, hide and seek seems pretty fun. Or tag. Heheh!'

Vivian and Mikey just stared at him and slowly backed away and told the nurse that was on the shift to look after him. She watched him from a window.

Frank burst out laughing. 'And how are you planning on doing that?'

Gerard cringed a bit. How was he going to play games with his mind? 'Heehe I don't know!'

'Gee! Sometimes you have the weirdest ideas ever! And I love you for that!' Frank said then realized what he just said. What the fuck? Did he just say that to his mind?

Gerard raised his eyebrows. His mind just told him that it loved him. He laughed a little. 'Wow, I love you too! I'm really going crazy, and you're keeping me company!' he patted his own head.

'Okay, this is getting kind of freaky!' Frank thought out loud. This totally didn't make sense. It's as if he really was talking to... Gee? 'Gerard... Is it really you?' He asked before thinking.

Gerard thought he was crazier by the second. Oh well, he thought, why not kill time and have a chat with mind. 'Yeah, that's what they call me! You are?'

'Okay Gerard this is fucking freaking me out! I mean, how can I talk with you?' Frank was very confused. 'Gerard, you're alive, right?'

Was Gerard going mental? His mind seemed to have a mind of its own and speaking its own things. He shook. 'I'm alive, but not quite awake since I'm having conversations with air.'

'Gerard, you're not talking with air... It's me, Frank. I don't know how it's possible but somehow we are talking to each other... I think...'

Gerard smiled widely from ear to ear. Frankie! 'Oh, Frankie! I've been missing you!' Even if he was dreaming, this was a really nice dream to have.

Frank smiled. 'I miss you too Gee! I wish I could see you somehow! So, how have you been keeping in the real world?' Frank hoped this was real.

Gerard was glad he was talking with Frank, but he knew this wasn't real and that he'd wake up any time. The 'real world' is not where he wanted to be. 'Okay, I guess. But it's not half as nice when it's one precious person short.' his smile faded.

Frank frowned. 'Gerard, don't think like that... We will see each other again soon.' He said, hoping soon meant when it was Gerard's natural time. 'Don't think about it that way... Be happy that at least we can communicate.' Frank tried to smile but couldn't but still tried making his voice sound happy.

'Soon is still not soon enough!' Gerard pouted, and as he looked over to the window he could see the way the nurse looked at him as if he was mental. And since she was looking at him he couldn't make 'soon' happen now. 'Anyways, I'm put into special care...'

Frank felt anger rise inside of him. 'WHAT? SPECIAL CARE? WHY? WHY THE FUCK DO THEY PUT YOU IN SPECIAL CARE?' Frank felt like punching one of the stupid doctors who thought that Gerard, his Gerard, needs some special care as if he was mentally sick. 'Why the fuck do they think you need special care? Didn't Viv or Mikey stop them? Why?'

'Its cause I wished myself away two times in a row. And Viv and Mikey had no voice in this! I don't think they even care as long as I don't do something like that again. And now that I'm speaking to myself they'll make it double special care!'

'Stupid fucking idiots.' Frank heard himself say. 'Maybe you should be more discreet about talking to me... I don't want you in more special care! You don't need it!' Frank felt so bad for Gerard. 'You really don't need it...'

'Meh, I don't really mind 'cause there's nothing worse that can happen now…'

'GERARD ARTHUR WAY! DONT YOU DARE TALK LIKE THAT! YOU HAVE A LOT TO LIVE FOR AND YOU MUST MAKE THE MOST OF IT! Just be happy! Just. Don't try to harm or kill yourself! Talk to Mikey and Viv. Just live your life, okay?'

Gerard rolled his eyes. Why did Frank not understand? Without him, life shall not be lived to its fullest by order of Gerard Arthur Way the First. But then he had to ask something. Frank! Oh, Frank, you must tell me where you are! Not you, who I'm speaking to, but you-you!'

Frank looked shocked 'What? Why?'

'Well I don't know where you are and I really need to know because I need to find your body' he hoped to find the body and somehow bring Frank back to life, and even though he knew it was impossible he still held on to the tiny pieces of hope that kept him going.

'I. I don't really know.' Frank said feeling a tear or two roll down his face. He didn't like to think of the times before he died. They were bad times. He hated and regretted them. 'It's. I. I know it's somewhere in a hospital. I don't know where. I even know how I got there. I'm sorry!'

'No, no, no, no, NO! You have to remember! You have. To!' he could hear the door opening and he quickly pretended to be asleep but he knew it was a bad idea since he was being watched.

Frank knew something was wrong, so he kept quiet and hoped that Gee will tell him what was wrong later.
