Baby I'll Be Your Frankenstine

Gerard’s POV

I look at Mikey coming into the room. Whoa, that’s odd. Usually he’s not here, unless mom is.

“Hey Gee.” He smiles weakly.

“Hey Mikes” I answer, a bit surprised.

“Frank and the girls are getting something to eat, and… well I decided to stay and keep you company, or something.” He says, sitting down in the chair next to my bed.

“Oh, thanks.” I mutter, not really sure what to say.

Why did he come? I look up at him, questioning with my eyes, but he just shrugs and remains silent. I wonder what he’s thinking. He probably thinks I’m a screw up, just like everyone else. There’s a long awkward silence.

I look at my IV, wanting to remove it again. They should really make a better way to get the medicine inside the body. I shudder.

“Gerard, don’t do that again.” I hear Mikey say barely audible. I turn to him. “You scared us all a lot, and-“ He’s interrupted by loud sounds outside.

“Timmy Timmy Timmy Timmy Timmy!!!!” We hear Sky laughing.

“Sky! Shut up already! And come back here!” Frank yells after her.

“Timmy! Come back here with that food! We’re hungry!” Cloudy half-yells half-laughs.

“Never!” Sky yells back, slamming her wheelchair into the door of my room, opening it. She wheels herself in. I see she’s got some bags of take out in her lap.

“Hey Gerard, Mikey.” Sky says while trying to close the door, but Cloudy puts her foot in before she can manage it.

“Hah! Gotcha!” Cloudy says smiling widely as she opens the door, and gets the food from Sky’s lap.

Frank and Lidia come running into the room. I notice they’re both out of breath, as is Cloudy. Sky laughs at them, and I smile.

“Gosh, Sky…don’t… Don’t do that!” Says a very winded Frankie.

Mikey gets up from the chair where he was previously sitting and mutters something about mom wanting him to be home. He walks quickly out the door.

Does he think if he stays too long I’m gonna contaminate him? A dozen different very negative thoughts pass through my mind. I’m snapped out of them by Sky.

“What’s up with him?” asks Sky, confused.

Lidia and Claudia shrug, opening the take out bags.

“What’cha wanna eat Gerard?” Asks Lidi, looking up at me. “We bought a whole bunch of different stuff, because we couldn’t make up our minds.”

“Oh, and let’s be silent about the whole take out food thing, or rather let’s be quick… because we already yelled about the food and I don’t think we’re supposed to bring this sort of stuff in here, but we guessed you’d like some decent food, because hospital food is really bad.” Said Cloudy, rambling a bit as usual. “And I’d be b-wait… I’m rambling again.” She adds, noticing it.

We all laugh at her and start eating.

*time elapse*

Claudia, Lidia and Sky leave the room laughing and whispering excitedly. Frank and I look at them confused. I wonder what they are up to.

I try to look anywhere but at Frank. I know I’m a complete fuck up, why the hell does he stay?

Frank grabs hold of my IV free hand.

“Gee, what’s up?” He asks concerned.

“Wh-Why are you still here? I’m a complete fuck up, and… I don’t deserve you. You’re too good. I don’t want pity either.” I stammer, my thoughts leaving my mouth before I have time to think about what I’m saying.

“Gerard, you’re an amazing person, even if you don’t see it yourself. You have a lot of people that care for you and I’m here because I care about you. It’s not pity what keeps me here.” Frank said.

Then I felt Frank’s arms wrapping around me.

“I’m here because… I-I love you, Gerard.” He whispered. I was overwhelmed by his last words.

“I love you too Frank.” I managed to get out. “And… I’m sorry for being so negative about everything. I just…” I couldn’t finish that phrase. “I’m sorry.” At that, Frank’s lips connected with mine in a loving kiss.

About a minute later we pulled away, as we heard noises coming from the halls. I recognized Lidia’s voice, along with Claudia’s and what I thought was Sky.

“Timmy Timmy Timmy!” They all chorused loudly.

“You’ll never catch us!” Cloudy added.

“Hey! You three, stop!” A male voice called out. Then we heard some shuffling around very near to the door. The door flew open, and Claudia, Lidia and Sky entered the room in a hurry, closing the door quickly behind them. Lidia and Claudia sat down immediately in the floor, laughing like crazy.

“What did you guys do?” Frank asked, turning away from our embrace to look at them

“Timmy!” Said Sky, being really hyper and not explaining anything.

“We…We were racing in wheel chairs!” Said Lidi, trying to hold back her laugh.

“A security nurse started chasing us, and then… when he was getting close…Lidi and I ran out of our chairs and…he crashed into them!” Cloudy managed to say between laughs.

“I hope they didn’t recognize us!” added Lidi, finally controlling her laugh.

We all sat there laughing for a while, until a nurse came to check on me. She didn’t say anything to the girls, so I guess they weren’t recognized, or the hospital decided to ignore it.
