Frank heard Gerard humming. Gerard always had the best voice someone could ever hear. He sang like a God or even better and hearing Gerard hum made Frankie laugh quietly to himself hoping Gerard won't hear him. For Frank, Gerard was the perfect human being and hearing him hum again brought back a lot of happy memories of Gee.

'I love you' Frank heard himself say before he even realized and he quickly put his hand on his mouth regretting he just said something.


Gerard stopped halfway through a note and frowned. He looked around the room. He was sure he heard someone. It might've been someone from another room. But his room was soundproof, and no sound could get in. He decided o ignore it and carried on humming.


Frank sighted again from relief. He needs to be careful and not try to say anything no matter how hard it seemed, he somehow knew it was for the greater good. He tried concentrating on Gerard's voice again not the memories it brought back...


Gerard got quickly bored of lying in bed so he got up and started walking around. The room was really small. He couldn't get out because there was no door handle on this side. People could only come in. He walked up to the window and knocked on it. A nurse turned.

'I want to get out. This room feels stuffy.' He demanded.

'Sorry,' the nurse replied, 'the doctor said I can't let you out.'

'You don't know how bored I am, do you?'

'I can only imagine…'


Frank tried to stop himself from laughing his head off as tiny sniggers escaped his mouth. Sure it wasn't that funny, but for Frank it was, but he still felt sympathy for Gerard. Being stuck somewhere and not being able to get out. It must be pretty boring there.

Gerard frowned at the nurse. 'This really isn't funny.' He said, about the laughing he heard.

'Huh? I wasn't laughing.' She replied, confused.

Gerard turned all around to check if there was anyone else in the room. There was no one. 'Oh, sorry then.'


Frank couldn't stop himself now and burst into fits of laughter with tears running down his eyes. Gee thought the nurse was laughing, yeah right! Frank slowly stopped laughing.


Gerard realized that it couldn't be the nurse laughing. She was a woman, and the laugh was of a man. He spun around once again, but again there was no one else in the room. He squinted at the window, but apart from the nurse there was no one there. He walked over to his bed.

'Who's laughing?' he whispered to himself.

Frank stopped laughing immediately when he heard Gerard. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! Not this again. 'Uhh... Your biggest nightmare?' Frank said grinning. He needed some fun and he was sure Gerard won't mind.

Shocked at the reply, Gerard looked at the nurse, who was half sleeping at the window. No, it couldn't have been her. 'I've already lived my worst nightmare' he whispered. What was going on with him?

'That was just a joke Gee!' Frank chuckled. 'You didn't actually think I was serious, right?'

Gerard's eyes widened in shock. What the hell was going on? 'Wha-what?' he asked. He had no idea what answer he was going to get from a stupid question like that but he daren't say more.

This was getting a bit funny for Frank. Sure Gerard was confused and he will find out the truth. Later. 'I'll take that as a yes, shall I?'

Gerard was getting really freaked out by now. But at least he would kill time with this conversation. Then tomorrow he'd get back home and have a proper life. 'Take it as you want it.' he whispered quickly into the thin air.

Frank rolled his eyes. 'God, can't you even try to be funny?'

'I could try' he whispered. He seemed really shy, even to himself.

'Sure you can!' Frank laughed. 'And why are you so quiet?'

Gerard really didn't know what to reply. He was, after all, speaking to himself, but something told him he wasn't. 'I. I don't. Know.' he whispered again.

'Gee, be honest with me. Are you scared?' Frank wasn't sure if he wanted to know the answer to that, he really didn't.

'What? No! I'm not scared of anything!' he knew he sounded really childish right now. Oh well, he thought.

'Sure you're not!' Frank said in a very sarcastic tone 'Because I swear that the last time someone put a needle next to you, you started screaming like a four year old girl!'

Gerard frowned. Seriously, who was he talking to? Himself? Because if it really was him, he would've seen this line coming, but he was surprised when he heard it.

'Who are you? Are you a ghost of a mentalist's past?' he laughed at his own lame joke. Mentalist's past. There was no way anyone could've died here. But what if? Gerard shivered.

'Ghost of mentalist's past?' Frank burst out laughing. 'How awesome would that be? But seriously ghost of a mentalist past? That's the lamest joke you made up this year and you made a lot of lame jokes!'

Gerard felt really stupid and wanted to sink. He was being laughed at. By himself. Great. 'It. It wasn't supposed to be funny!' he whispered, still behaving like a child.

'It wasn't? Oh, stupid me.' Frank said in a joking manner. 'That really wasn't funny.' He said trying to mock with Gerard.

'Humph! If you're going to be like this then I'm not speaking to you!' he couldn't believe he just told himself that. How crazy!

'Aww! I totally didn't mean anything I said then! I'm sorry Gee! Don't ignore me! Pwease!' Frank said trying to sound as innocent as possible.

Gerard was getting a bit annoyed now. Why was the voice in his head so... Mean? 'Who are you? I just want to know...' he whispered, to himself but he also wanted the voice to hear him.

'As I told you, I am your biggest nightmare!' the voice replied, trying to sound as casually as possible. Then, he added 'But you can call me Frank'
