We're Just Two Men As God Had Made Us
Chapter Twenty Two
Still Mikey's POV
"Mr Way, I have some bad news about your brother." Oh god, no... I looked up at the doctor, only to see 2 empty faces looking at me. They were empty, with nothing in them at all.
"He's in a coma, and we're unsure when he will awake."
The world went fuzzy, like a television screen, and I shook my head to clear my vision. No time for fainting now.
"Can...Can I see him? They nodded.
"This way, Mr Way." I heard a nurse snicker at the apparent play of words and I turned to fix her with a death glare, and her laugh died in her throat. Bitch.
I approached a room and hesitated, staring at the number in front of my nose. What was I waiting for? Maybe I didn't want to see my lover, my brother, and my best friend, in the worst state that he could ever be in. So close to death, but not granted the blessed release that would take all the pain away from him. I reached out and grasped the cool metal knob, and turned it. I looked in, and despite all my preparation, my stomach still dropped when I saw the light of my life, hooked up to monstrous machines that beeped, trapping him in his own life. I wanted to take him away right there and then, to make him feel better, but instead, I walked up to him and sat numbly in the plastic chair beside the bed, stroking his hand. I looked at the machines. They looked threatening, looming, as if watching over Gerard, to find a moment when he was truly weak, and take him away. But without those machines, Gerard would not be able to live. The irony of it all.
I slumped there and turned on the radio, desperate for something to break the continuous bleeping of the life-giving-terrors. I heard a piano plinking out the first notes to the song as the DJ announced the playing of "When You Tell Me That You Love Me by Dolly Parton."
I wanna feel this way
Longer than time
I wanna know your dreams
And make them mine
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do
I wanna hold you close under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel your pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
Here in a world of lies
You are the truth
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you
Anything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see
Just what i was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you
Anything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you
I would always hunger
All i need is your love to make me stronger
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And bring you
Anything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
And that was all it took. I let it all go. I just unleashed all my pent up pain and emotions. Sobs racked my body as I sobbed uncontrollably with grief, and pain, and so much hurt. Tears poured down my face, each carrying the pain and sadness of everything bad that ever happened to me. My chest grew tight and I hated the feeling that gripped my heart, pulling it so bad. My heart ached and I cried ever so hard, screaming out loud, my words punctured by sobs so filled with hurt that even a person with a heart of stone would be brought to tears. "No... No... NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
