Frank woke up to the normal silence of this place; he wondered how long he was asleep for as time didn't count here. He couldn't hear Gerard and wondered if he was asleep or something like that. 'Gee? You there?'

Gerard mumbled. 'Wha?' His eyes were closed so he didn't know who was in the room with him.

Frank figured Gee was asleep so he may as well keep quiet and maybe Gerard could go back to sleep.

Gerard remembered having a really nice but weird dream about Frank. He looked at the picture of him and smiled. This was his favorite picture of Frank. But then he also remembered something else – Frank was dead! He tried to hold back tears. 'I miss you, buddy!' he said to the photo.

Frank was confused. Who was Gerard talking to? He though Gee was asleep a couple of minutes ago. He thought it would be better if he stayed quiet and maybe he could figure out what's going on and who Gerard was talking to.

Gerard took the photograph into his hands at just stared at it. He could never get sick of seeing it. A second later the door opened and in came Mikey and Vivian. They strolled slowly over to him. He put the photo back in place and looked at them.

'Hey.' Mikey greeted him.

'Hey.' He replied.

'You alright?'

'I'm okay…'

'That's good. I just came to let you know that they're releasing you tomorrow, and that you'll be under my care.'

Gerard just sat there, not knowing whether smiling was a good idea since neither Mikey nor Vivian were smiling. 'You don't seem too happy about it…'

'No! I'm thrilled they're letting you out…'

'But not so thrilled you have to look after me.' Gerard finished his brother's sentence.

'No! It's not that…'

'You know, you can say you'll look after me but you can let me back to my house.'

'No, I'd rather babysit you than let you be alone…' Mikey's voice faded on the last couple of words. He felt like he was hurting Gerard's feelings.

From hearing what he heard Gerard say, he figured what the conversation was about and to who Gerard was talking to now, but he just hoped that Mikey could look after Gerard, and that he would keep him safe and happy unlike Frank did. Frank stood up and started walking around this place again still listening to the conversation going on in the real world.

'No, it's just that, you know, I have a job and I'd have to work twice as hard to keep up and that would mean I'd have no time…' Mikey tried to explain.

'As I said, it's okay. I can look after myself.' Gerard replied.

A thought passed Vivian's mind. She opened her eyes widely, like she did whenever she had something "smart" to say and she stepped forward, closer to Gerard. 'Ooooor… I could look after you!' she grinned.

'No, Viv, it's okay.' Gerard said.

'I think that would be a good idea. Mikey could go work his ass off and we could like watch movies or do something fun! Who said Gerard-sitting can't be fun?'

Mikey looked at the over-enthusiastic Vivian. She seemed to be ok with everything that was happening. Who could blame her?; she was born empathic and she wasn't lacking positivity.

Meeting Mikey's eyes, Vivian's smile faded. 'That's if it's okay with you, Mikey.'

Frank really wanted to know what the others were saying and what was going on. Why did this stupid mind thing only work on Gerard? Stupid weird mind thing he did not understand. Then he felt something cold touch his hand and then when he looked at it he realized it was snow. It was snowing everywhere around him.

'What the fuck...?' he asked before he could stop himself and he just hoped Gerard didn't hear him.

Gerard frowned. 'What..?'

'I asked if it was a good idea.' Vivian said.

'No, I thought I heard something. Must've been the other room…'

'So, if Viv's plan works for you, it works for me. Whaddya say?' Mikey asked.

'Sure, whatever.' Gerard replied. 'As long as I'm out of this crazy place.'

Frank let out a tiny sight of relief as he heard that Gerard thought it was something else and that he would finally get out of that place he was held in. He hoped that it really was a good idea they let him out. That he won't do something stupid.

'Okay, I'll let you rest for now.' Mikey said. 'If you need us, we'll be in the cafeteria down the road.' Vivian waved goodbye as she and Mikey walked out of the door, leaving Gerard all alone.

Gerard threw himself back onto the pillow. He was bored like hell. There was nothing to do. It was a special room, with nothing inside it but a really soft bed and soft walls and floor. No TV, no books, no nothing. So he started humming an old lullaby, hoping it would put him to sleep.
