“Hey Mom.” I said, smiling sheepishly as she entered the room with her arms full of StarBucks.
“Oh Gerard, you’re awake!” She squealed, dumping the coffee’s on the plastic chair by the door and giving me a big hug.
“I’m so glad you’re awake!” She cried, tears running down her face as she pulled away.
“Um, me too? Why, wasn’t I meant to wake up or something?” I asked and everyone went quiet.
“Well?” I asked, impatient.
“There was only a ten per cent chance of you waking up, Gee. They said if you didn’t wake up in three and a half hours after surgery, they’d turn the machines off.” Frank whispered, his voice breaking as he broke down into more sobs.
“Hey, shush, I’m here and alive. I’m okay, Frank, really. Everything’s going to be fine baby, just fine.” I promised, holding him close as he cried hard, his arms wrapped tight around my neck and I kissed his hair, willing for his tears to stop as they were now un-necessary.
“I know, I know. I was just so scared. I’ve nearly lost you three times this week. I don’t know what I’d have done if you didn’t pull through.” I stayed quiet. What would he have done? Without Mikey he wouldn’t be here and alive at all. He doesn’t deserve any more unhappiness.
“I love you, never forget that. I’m not going anywhere, I promise you.” I soothed, stroking my fingers through his silky black hair as he sniffled, trying to stop crying as he breathed deeply and shakily.
“I love you too.” He whispered, “I really, really do.”
“Are you okay now?” I asked and he lifted his head up, resting it on my shoulder and sighing.
“I’ll always be okay as long as I have you.” He whispered in my ear, making shivers shoot up and down my spine as the air caught the shell of my ear.
I noticed my mother looking at the two of us happily, along with everyone else in the room.
“Um, aren’t you going to lecture me then?” I asked my mother somewhat nervously.
“What?! Why would I do that?” She asked, looking shocked and hurt.
“You know, the whole protective mother thing of; watch where you go, keep your head down, don’t draw attention to yourself. Sort of thing.” I prompted and my Mother shook her head.
“Gerard, this wasn’t your fault honey.” She assured, perching on the side the bed and rubbing my knee.
“I know.” I sighed, “But maybe if I wasn’t…” I started, only to be cut off by Frank.
“No, Gerard. This wasn’t your fault and you’re completely and utterly beautiful. Really, you are. I wouldn’t have you any other way.” He said sternly and I nodded, biting my lip and feeling kind of guilty.
“Oh God.” Mikey said, face-palming suddenly and mine and Frank’s head snapped round to his.
“In four weeks we have to go back to college. And neither of us have paid the bills for a week.” Mikey said and Frank paled.
“That means…?” I asked and Frank’s shoulders dropped defeated.
“It’s a good job that me and Mikey brought all our stuff back with us because they’ll have changed the locks back now.” Frank muttered angrily and then whacked his own forehead. “Damn, I forgot that I have to pay for the next few months of college because it’s the advanced course.” He sighed, sitting up and crossing his legs in Indian position as he buried his head in his hands.
“Frank, it’s okay. You have the job at the comic store, remember.” Mikey reminded.
“Which we’re meant to start Monday. I’m not leaving Gee alone in here.” He said sternly, rubbing his temples with his fingers. “Oh God, I’ve messed everything up, now you don’t have anywhere to stay when you go to college.”
“Um, Frank? I sort of got a job as a bass teacher and music tech at the local high school.
Actually… they have a vacancy for a guitar teacher/ music tech and an art teacher if you two want to try out.” Mikey suggested and I nodded.
“I’ll show those idiots that Gerard Way is out of the closet, and has a very hot boyfriend.” I smirked, really wanting to show all those stuck up kids and teachers what I’m made of.
“When are the interviews?” Frank asked.
“Five weeks so it happens.” Mikey smiled.
“Awesome.”
Please rate and review. I know that it's short and it sucks but I couldn't be bothered to write anything else =/
