Frank's POV
Hours had passed with no news. All of our friends had been contacted and had rushed here without so much as a second thought. Ryan and Brendon had canceled the last three shows of their current tour to be here. William had canceled an appearance on some late night talk show and took a red eye to get here. Gabe had dropped everything in the middle of recording his new album to come. Caitlyn and Alyssa had both dropped everything as well to board red eye flights.
I lay across the small couch in the waiting area with my head in Pete's lap as he absentmindedly twirled my hair through his fingers. I sighed heavily as I took in the depressing scene before my eyes. Gerard was guzzling cupfuls of coffee while Brooklyn cried silently into his shoulder. Mikey was doing his best to console a sobbing Kyndall while salty tears streaked his own red splotched cheeks. Gabe shifted nervously in his seat while chewing his nails down to almost nothing. William slouched next to Gabe as he tried to keep sleep from claiming his obviously worn out body. Patrick and Ray focused on keeping Caitlyn and Alyssa as calm as possible. Nikki and Alyx were on either side of Jeremy as they all wept quietly. Ryan and Brendon had lost the battle to sleep a hour ago and now lay curled up on the second small couch. Bob nervously paced around the waiting area as we all awaited just a sliver of news on Secret's condition.
Luckily, Donna had agreed to keep the twins for the night so they wouldn't have to suffer through the night like the rest of us. Finally, after what felt like an eternity the doors to the waiting area swung open and a scrub clad doctor stood before us.
"Mason family?"
I immediately shot up as did everyone else around me.
"That's us." I confirmed.
"Ms. Mason is stable now. She just awoke and she is asking for a Mr. Iero."
"That is me."
"You may follow me. The rest of you may come in shortly. For now she would only like to speak with Mr. Iero."
I quickly followed after the doctor as he led me down a long, white corridor.
"Is she okay, doctor?"
"She is doing just fine now. The wounds on her arms were quite deep and required stitches. Also, she lost a fair amount of blood therefore required a blood transfusion but she is conscious and well aware of what's going on."
"So, she will be fine?"
"Yes." He nodded as he stopped outside of a room. "Go ahead. I will be around later today if you need anything else."
"Thanks, doc." He nodded before disappearing down another corridor.
I took a deep breath and entered Secret's room. She looked so small lying in that huge bed. She looked even smaller than Pete had looked. She appeared much paler than normal, most likely due to the loss of so much blood. Her eyes were closed and she looked almost peaceful. I silently pulled a chair as close to her bed as I could. I grasped her hand in mine. She was so cold. If not for the steady beeping of the heart monitor I would have thought she was dead. A stray tear leaked from my eye and trailed down my cheek as I brought my lips to her icy hand. Her eyelids fluttered open slowly and she turned her gaze on me.
"Frankie."
"S-Seek, I-I.....I thought I had l-lost you."
"Shh. I'm okay. I'm here."
Even her voice was weak. She sounded exhausted like she hadn't slept in days.
"W-Why? Why did you w-want to l-leave me?"
"I'm sorry, baby. I was so fucking stupid. It just hurt so fucking much when you told me. I just didn't want to live anymore but now I realize how fucking selfish and stupid that was of me. I have two beautiful and amazing babies at home and two more growing inside of me. Not to mention the love of my life sitting before me."
I lay my hand across her stomach and rubbed gently.
"S-So, the babies are okay?"
"Yeah."
"Oh thank god! I was so worried. Baby, I don't care anymore if these babies are mine or not. I will love and care for them no matter what happens. I will love them just as much as I do Rayne and Lyric. I swear, baby."
"R-Really?"
"Yes. I swear to you. It doesn't matter anymore. I need you, Secret."
"I love you, Frankie."
"I love you, too. You know, there are quite a lot of people waiting to see you."
"Who is all here?"
"Everyone. Even Ryan, Brendon, Gabe, William, Cailyn, and Alyssa made it."
"Really?"
"Mmhmm."
She sighed. "I think it's time they all knew the truth. They deserve to know what is really going on."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. I'll go get them."
I kissed her lips gently then started for the door.
"Frankie, wait. Send Pete in first. I think he should know what I am about to do first." I nodded my agreement and made my way back to the waiting area.As soon as I stepped through the double doors I was bombarded with questions.
"Guys? Guys!"
They all fell silent and stared at me expectantly.
"She wants to see everyone but first she needs to talk to Pete alone."
Secret's POV
I was nervous about telling my friends, no scratch that, my family the truth. I didn't want them to be disappointed or angry with me because of my stupid mistakes. But I also knew they deserved to know the truth. I waited patiently until I heard the squeaking of sneakers echoing through the hall. I glanced at the doorway to see Pete standing there with his head bowed and shoulders slumped. Had I broken Pete too? Had I hurt him as much as I had Frank?
"Pete?"
He slowly brought his eyes up to meet mine. A sob caught in my throat. His eyes were red and swollen from crying and his cheeks were splotchy and stained with dried tears. His eyes held a look of pure sadness and it broke my heart. This wasn't Pete. This wasn't my best friend. This wasn't the overly hyper and happy guy I had known and loved all of my life. This man was broken and hurting and I had done this to him.
"P-Pete, I'm sorry."
"Seek, how could you do this to me? How could you possibly think any of us could live without you?" His voice cracked on the last few words and I felt my heart shatter a little more. "And what about the babies?"
"The babies are okay, Pete. I am sorry for what I did. I realize now how selfish that was. I don't even know what I was thinking. I was just scared and upset. I didn't want to live anymore because I didn't think I had anything to live for but I was wrong. I was so wrong. I have two amazing babies who need their mother and two more who are going to be just as amazing and beautiful as their brother and sister. I have a man, who despite everything we have put each other through, still loves me and I love him. I have friends that have been more like family to me than my real family and last but most certainly not least, I have you Pete, my best friend."
"Until the end. I love you, Cupcake."
"I love you too, Panda."
Pete pulled me into a tight embrace. It sent pain shooting through my body but I didn't dare complain. I was just happy I finally had my best friend back.
"Pete, please don't be mad but I think we should tell everyone the truth. I am tired of lying and I think they deserve the truth."
He sighed. "Yeah. You are right. You want me to get them?"
"Yeah."
He hugged me one last time before heading toward the door.
"And Pete?"
"Hmm?"
"I won't let anyone blame this on you. It's not your fault and I am sorry for dragging you into the middle of mine and Frank's mess."
"Seek, it's okay. This is just as much my fault as it is yours and Frank's. I could have stopped you but I didn't."
"But-"
"Seek, stop trying to take all of the blame. You, Frank, and I are all to blame. We all fucked up, okay?"
"Okay."
Pete left and returned just a few minutes later with our many friends. I was immediately met with hugs, tears, and questions. Once everyone got at least one hug and had planted a sloppy kiss to either my cheek or forehead the room settled down somewhat though the questions remained. Frank came to my right side and perched beside me on the bed. He wrapped an arm around me and kissed my head reassuringly. I motioned for Pete to come to my other side. He did so and I took his hand in mine, giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"What's going on?" Patrick questioned.
Of course Patrick would be the first to notice something didn't feel right. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"We have something to tell all of you. Before I begin I want you to know we are all to blame for this and we will understand if you are mad or disappointed with us. We are mad and disappointed with ourselves."
I looked around the room at their confused and worried expressions. Frank gave my hand a tight squeeze and then began.
"The last night of our tour I did something incredibly stupid. I cheated on Secret. It was the worst mistake of my life and I will regret it for the rest of my life. I wish more than anything I could take it back but I can't. Secret was obviously devastated. It didn't help that I put my own selfish needs first before I decided to tell her."
"This is where I am to blame. After Frank told me I was heartbroken so I left. I went to see Pete. I was a crying mess by the time I got there so Pete did the best he could to comfort me. I was so mad at Frank I decided the best way to get back at him was to do to him what he had done to me. That night I took advantage of Pete's comforting. I-"
"Secret, stop." Pete growled. "And this is where I am at fault. I did my best to comfort Secret. Once she had calmed down enough we decided a good night's rest was in order. As we were going to bed Secret kissed me which soon turned into something more. I could have stopped her but I didn't. I was stupid and selfish."
"After that happened Secret came home and confessed to me what had happened. I was hurt and shocked so I left. Somewhere between my own house and Gerard's house that hurt and shock turned to anger. Anger that I took out on Pete. That anger almost killed Pete. Again, another ignorant and selfish act."
"Once Pete came home we were able to repair our friendships and relationships but those stupid acts of selfishness have landed us in yet another predicament. I am pregnant with twins and as of right now we are unsure of their paternity."
"There is one more issue. The girl I cheated with is also pregnant and that baby's paternity is in question as well."
