Ayyyy! Soooo, Chapter 4 technically, sorry I had to do the update thingymajigger…. WHICH FAILED. But yehhhh
Trust Me
Yeah, I was fucking scared right now, sitting up here in a tree with the same person that caused me to fall out of one and almost PARALYZE ME. Even if I love him to death, still… "Frankie? You alright" Gee asked, looking down at me after noticing how tense I was. "Baby, hey Frankie, come on talk to me" He whispered, moving so he's facing me. I turned away, looking down at the lake. WAIT. DOWN? I squealed at the thought of the branch breaking and both of us plummeting into the dark blue water below.
"Shh, Frankie it's okay" Gee whispered comfortingly and pulled me close. No, I didn't trust him. Yes, I hated me for it. Yes, I want to trust him, and I'm going to do ANYTHING to get it that way.
"Frankie" Gee whispered and gently held my jaw with his hand to make me look at him. "Look at me baby-boy" He said quietly like he was approaching a little puppy he found on the street that hasn't ever been in human contact.
"Gee, you don't have to be all new baby around me; I should be allowed to be quiet sometimes" I muttered and started to try and climb down, shielding the tear that ran down my cheek. "Frankie, wait, I'm sorry" Gee yelled from the top of the tree.
"Whatever" I sighed and started to walk away. "FRANKIE" Gee screamed and attempted to climb down too. Turning back, I saw Gee try to shimmy back onto the trunk. "Fra-AUUGH!" Gee screamed when he slipped, dangling over the deep water by his hands. "GEE" I yelled, trying to be calm and climb up to save him. "FRANKIEEEEEEEEEEEE" Gee screeched when one of his hands gave out.
Oh god… I did the same thing, and he might die, just like I almost did
Jumping back down, I started to take off my jacket and my heavy boots and got in the water, prepared to save him. One by one, his fingers caved too and he began to plummet the 30 foot fall down. His scream broke my heart a million times when he started reaching for anything that could stop him. His fear shattered any piece of solid heart I had left when he crashed into the water. A muffled gasp escaped his trembling lips as he sank, the fall knocking him unconscious.
Frankie, help
Was all I heard in my head, like he was talking to me even when he was unconscious. GOD DAMN IT FRANK, SAVE HIM. I screamed and dove down, looking for anything, and I saw his little black ring he wore all the time, but it got darker and darker.
Searching, I followed the ring grabbing his middle finger where he wore it. Pulling up, my chest burned and heaved, the need for air growing. Fucking cigarettes.
I gasped when I hit the top of the water, the cold water freezing my face in the cold wind. I dragged Gee to the surface, looking for any kind of life in him. An irregular heartbeat was all I felt, and I wasn't even sure it was his. Oh god… Was all I thought, the thought of what I would do without him filling my mind
I might never hear his voice again
I might never fall asleep to the sound of his heartbeat again
I might never hear his laugh again
I might never feel his lips on mine again
I might never
I might never
I might never
I will never love again
…
A day Later (Hospital)
"Friends and Family of Mr. Gerard Way?" The sweet nurse asked, waking me up. I lifted my head, my tear stained cheeks shining, and my dirty matted hair glistening with grease. Mrs. and Mr. Way took Mikey and went to go get food, so it was just me, Bob, and Ray. They held hands and Ray leaned heavily on Bob, who hugged him comfortingly and I heard sweet whispers like "It's all okay baby-boy". "Family" I said, eager to know what was going on, maybe he was awake? "I just wanted to tell you that Doctor Ratliff will be out shortly to tell you whats going on, I'm not permitted" She said, smiled sadly at me, probably because I was such a wreck compared to the washed pretty couple beside me, and walked back into his private room.
Mrs. And Mr. Way came back with Mikey, who handed me the only Vegetarian thing they had, a plain fucking bagel. I was pretty hungry so I ate the hard bread, staring at the closed door the entire time. I stayed home from school today, I wanted to be one of the first to know if he was okay. Bad excuse to skip some might say, but this is MY GEE.
"Frank, if you want to go an-" Mikey started to say, concerned of my wellbeing or whatever. "Nope" I interrupted, not leaving at all until I knew what was going on, and only then would I leave to shower and change.
(4 Hours Later)
"Hello" Doctor Ratliff said, holding a clipboard full of papers. Gee's parents stood up, but not before me. "What's going on with Gee?" I asked, running a hand through my greasy hair. "Can I talk to the patients parents, privately?" He asked, and I had to sit down and wait for another five minutes. Staring at Gee's parents, I watched his mom burst into tears, and I thought the worst.
They walked back after ten minutes, Gee's dad's arm supporting Gee's mom, who was still crying. "Oh Mikey" Donna sighed, collapsing onto her son, who's eyes immediately filled with pain. I heard Donna whisper into Mikey's ear, and tell him to tell me. Oh shit, please don't be dead Gee. I thought when Mikey stood up, sniffled, and whispered.
"Gerard's in a coma"
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK right? You best be worrying about him, or you suck. But yeah, I sat there late at night and I realized how shit the chapter was, so this is personally better.
