I stand still as Gerard’s face turns pale.

His mouth gapes open and shut, and he manages to stutter, “M-Mikey?”

I nod my head, smiling a little, “Hey, Gee.”

He suddenly frowns and shakes his head. Rubbing his fingers over his eyes, he mutters, “N-No…No fucking way…I’m imagining this.”

“No, you’re not, Gerard,” I tell him, “It’s really me. I’m here. I had to see you.”

“No,” Gerard says, shaking his head, “I’m just over-tired, and fucking wierd. There is no way this is real, right now.”

“Gerard,” I say, rolling my eyes, and pulling his hands from his face, “Look at me, okay? It’s real. I’m here.”

He stares at me, wide eyed and blinks a few times before speaking once more, “Mikes…It’s really you?”

“Yeah, dude, it’s me,” I smile at him.

He stares at me a few more moments before pulling me in for a hug I wasn’t even expecting. I hug him back as tightly as I can.

“I-I…I can’t believe it’s really you!” Gerard breathes, still holding onto me.

I can’t think of anything to say back. I’m just happy to be with my brother again. After another few moments, he pulls away from me, grabbing my shoulders.

“Mikey, what the fuck is going on?!” He whispers to me, obviously freaked out and confused, “Why are you here? H-How did you even get here?! What the fuck is going on?!”

“Dude, just calm down,” I begin, not knowing how I‘m going to explain, “It’s quite a story, you know? Uh, you’re not going to believe me, but I kind of need you to, okay? Just let me explain, prove my story, and the you can react, alright?”

Gerard just stares at me like I’m retarded and slowly nods his head.

“Okay, good,” I reply, “And no telling mum or dad about this. Now, obviously, this is a pretty fucked up situation.”

“Yeah,” He agrees.

“And, I have no fucking idea where the hell I’m supposed to start, but I’ll try…” I say slowly, glancing out the window to see if Frank is still there. He’s hidden himself in the tree, but I see his eyes watching me carefully. I can already tell he’s freaking out. He looks angry and scared. That’s going to be fun to deal with.

“Mikes?” Gerard asks me, making me turn back at him, “What are you looking at?”

“Uh…” I mumble, “You know what, to get most of the shock out of the way, I’ll show what I’m looking at.”

“What?” He asks, frowning with confusion.

“Just, hold on a second. I’ll be back in a minute,” I say, climbing back out the window before he can ask me again. I jump over to Frank in a flash, “Frankie?…Please don’t get pissed off. Not now. Please?”

He launches at me without warning and grabs my shoulders roughly, “Mikey, what the fuck where you thinking? Huh?! Do you have any idea what the hell you’ve just done?!”

“Frank, let go of me,” I say firmly, “Yeah, I know, I’m stupid, alright? But I calmed Gerard down, and I know I won’t be able to tell him everything without you there too.”

“What?!” Frank hisses at me, “Tell him everything?! What the fuck, Mikey! He’s going to think we’re both completely nuts!”

“Not if we make him listen.”

“As if he’s going to! Mikey, we shouldn’t do this. I’m not gonna just stand there and watch him hurt you again. Remember? He thought you completely lost it. This is just making everything worse!”

“Please, Frankie,” I say quietly, staring at my feet, “He’s gonna give me a chance…I just have to tell him you’re here too.”

“He doesn’t know I’m out here?!” Frank hisses again.

“Well, what was I supposed to do? Burst in, unexpected, after escaping a mental hospital and say ‘Hey, Gee. Don’t think this is crazy or anything, but I busted out of the nut house with my new boyfriend, Frank, here. He’s a vampire and just so happened to turn me into one too. So, now we’re living in the forest so no one finds us. Ta-da!’?”

Frank stares at me for a long moment before sighing at the pleading eyes I’m making, “Okay, fine, but the second things look bad, I’m leaving and taking you with me, deal?”

“Deal!” I say, with a grin, “Thank you, Frankie. I love you.”

“Yeah, whatever,” He mumbles, “…I love you too.”

I take his hand and lead him back towards the window. I quickly climb back in, landing swiftly on the floor. Gerard looks at me, confused again. I just give him a small smile and reach my hand out for Frank to grab. He gives me a reluctant look before taking gently and jumping into Gerard’s room.

“Gerard,” I say, looking at his slightly dropped jaw and wide eyes, “This is Frank…”

Frank forces a smile onto his face and gives my brother a small wave. I can tell he’s trying hard, and I give his hand a gentle squeeze to let him know I appreciate it.

“W-Wha…This…This is Frank?” Gerard stutters in a hoarse voice.

I nod my head slowly, “Yeah. He’s gonna help me explain everything because he’s been playing a huge part in my life, lately.” I say before giving Frank a small smile which he returns quickly.

“Uh…O-Okay,” Gerard says, “S-Start explaining, because I’m only just keeping it together, right now.”

“Yeah, okay,” I say, “Ah…Geeze, okay. So, when I first got put in the clinic, I was really miserable. The only time I felt better was when you came and saw me. And when you came that day, I kinda lied.”

“L-Lied?” Gerard croaks, “About what?”

“Uh, when I told you that I stopped doing that, er, stuff. I hadn’t even tried. Didn’t for a while, to be honest.”

Gerard only sighs and buries his face in his hands, “I knew it…You looked fucking terrible.”

“Uh, thanks?” I squeak.

“J-Just keep explaining, please. Make it quick because I just need to know what the fuck is happening, right now.”

“Yeah, yeah,” I say, “So, at first, I thought Frank was completely nuts. Well, duh, I told you about it. And-”

“You told him about it?!” Frank whines.

“Well, yeah, but that was before I knew. Just chill, okay?” I say to him, squeezing his arm in reassurance. This seems to please him and he drops it.

“Anyway,” I continue, slightly nervous because Gerard is staring at me like I’m crazy, “I-I actually…I mean, before Frank and I were friends, I kinda tried to, uh, k-kill myself.”

“Mikey!” Gerard gasps, “What?!”

“Look, you never came around and I know that wasn’t your fault, but I still felt shitty! But, I didn’t even do it, okay! The point is, Frank’s the one who saved me.”

“H-He…really?” He breathes, still wide-eyed and looking at Frank, who sheepishly nods in return.

“He stopped me. After that, we just got really…close,” I emphasize, blushing in Frank’s direction.

“O-Okay.” Gerard breathes, gulping audibly, “K-Keep going…”

“Anyway,” I continue, “That happened, but stuff happened before that too…Uh, this is the part you’re really not going to believe.”

“I-Is it what I think it is?” Gerard asks.

I sigh, nodding my head, “But, please listen before you say anything more.”

“Mikey…” Gerard whines, looking almost pained.

“Don’t do that!” I hiss and rush the rest out in one breath, “Just shut up and listen! Frank is a vampire, and it’s how we got out of that fucking hellhole. Look, it’s crazy, I know. It’s not supposed to exist, I know, but it does. The dead body guard? We got past him because Frank killed him.”

“WHAT?!” Gerard yells, his face going paler than before.

“Shut up!” I urge him, “I wasn’t exactly over the fucking moon about it either! But it had to be done. Neither of us were getting out anytime soon, and it was our only fucking chance, okay?! Frank didn’t want to do it, and I didn’t want him to do it, but he had to if we were going to get out. And we did, clearly.”

Gerard stares holes in my face and sits there, trembling.

You need to prove it to him... I hear Frank’s voice in my head.

“What the fuck?!” I shriek.

“Huh?!” Gerard jumps.

“N-Nothing,” I tell him, “Just give me a sec…”

Don’t freak out or anything, you dickhead. Don’t ask me how, but I think I can read your thoughts.

Holy shit, that’s so awesome…Can I read yours? I ask back, through my mind.

How do you think you’re hearing me, Mikes?

“Oh,” I giggle, out loud, earning a ridiculous stare from Gerard.

Show him, and show him now before he runs off to get your parents.

I nod in Frank’s direction, and turn to Gerard “You said yourself that things need proof to be believed, so, here goes nothing…”

“W-W-What are you doing?” Gerard whispers.

“Just watch…” I tell him.

Opening my mouth, so he can see, I make sure he’s watching. Then without a moment’s hesitation, I allow my fangs to whip out of hiding…

Thump.

Gerard loses it completely and passes out, falling from his bed to the floor.

“Shit!” I breathe, kneeling at his side and pushing my fangs back in, “Gerard! Yo, come on, wake up!”

“Wow. At least you stayed conscious when I told you.” Frank comments.

“Shut up, Frank! Just help me get him on the bed, at least.”

As I take his arms, and Frank takes his legs, we pick him up and lay him safely on his bed where he lies still, apart from the rise and fall of his chest that tells me he’s still alive.

“Don’t be so dramatic, Mikes. He won’t die from passing out.” Frank says.

“Grr…” I mutter. This whole ‘reading minds’ thing could have it’s downsides.

“You’ll get used to it.”

“Argh! Not now, Frank!” I yell, covering my mouth right after, but it’s too late.

“Gerard?” I hear my dad call, “Who are you talking to?! Get the fuck down here and clean the house already!”

“Fuck!” I whisper, “What do we do?!”

“Leave, now!” Frank says, pulling me towards the window.

“I can’t just leave Gerard! He’s unconscious!”

“We’ll come back soon, now let’s go!”

We both hear my father’s footsteps coming closer, and with a final, worried looking towards my brother’s knocked out figure, I let Frank pull me out of the window just before my father bursts in the door.
