Blood

Blood.

Chapter 24.

I take a look at my surroundings and my blood turns cold,my knees feel uneasy and I can hardly stay up. My bloodshot eyes are focused on the lifeless body laying in a pool of blood not very far away from me. I feel my heart beating fast as I try to decode to whom this dead body belongs to. The moment I do so however I immediately regret it. No,it can't be can it? I thing to myself and feel more tears run down my cheeks than before. It can't be him, I refuse to believe that it is my Gee laying there lifeless on the ground. His color is more white than normal and once my shaky hand touches his body to see if there is any pulse I can feel his skin as cold as ice against mine. I freak out and jerk away from him. I try to breath but oxygen is no longer welcomed in my lungs,i open my mouth to scream but nothing comes out. No! I have to find a way to get help, I have to get help, I can't let him die. No,my Gerard cannot leave me,i need him. I panic,everything is moving from lack of air in my system and I can feel blackness overtake me. I try one last time to scream for help but the only thing I manage to choke out is a weak cry. You can detect the amount of pain in my voice that shows the state of complete devastation I am in. I slowly and with whatever strength I have left,crawl next to the person that I loved the most. I lay beside him and link my shaking fingers with his cold ones. Not long after that everything goes black!
“FRANKIE”i heard a worried familiar voice shout as I woke up from the worst nightmare I have ever seen in my entire life. Cold sweat was running down my face as I searched around with panicked eyes for the person I cared about the most and the source of the worried voice that awoke me, Gerard.
“Frankie what's going on are you okay?”he asked making it easier for me to detect his angelic form in the darkness sitting beside me on the comfy mattress staring at me with his piercing ,beautiful green eyes. I couldn't help but attack him with a hug while sobbing hard. I tried to calm myself down and take him in to make sure he truly was alive only to fail at the first one.
“Oh God,you are alive.”i said between tears and sobs.
Gerard embraced me tightly and let me break down in his warm hands.
“Of course I am Frankie why wouldn't I be? Come on spill it out,was it a bad dream?”he asked and tightened his grip around me as I nodded while letting out another sob.
“It was terrible Gee,you were there laying cold and lifeless on the ground with me and I was suffocating. It felt like I was deprived from breathing, I also tried my best to scream for help but nothing would come out. Due to lack of oxygen I felt uneasy and like I was going to pass out so I crawled next to your dead body,linked out hands together and felt darkness swallow me whole. Oh Gerard you can't imagine how heartbreaking it felt to see you surrounded by a pool of your own blood,not able to hear your heartbeat anymore. God please never take him away from me because I will die without him.”i said to Gerard,narrating my nightmare to him but also pleading God for something like this to never happen to any of us.
“Shh baby,it was just a dream, a very bad dream but a dream nonetheless. I am never going to die on you Frank. I promise I will never leave you.”Gerard reassured me.
“You cannot promise me such a thing Gerard. You don't exactly know what the future holds for us.”i argued. Surely he couldn't actually promise me something like that.
“I don't care if it's impossible to keep that promise but I will no matter what cause seeing you like this is what kills me Frankie. All these tears running down your beautiful doll-like face are like bullets making there way from one side of my heart to the other killing it.”
After that we didn't say anything for a while and just sat there letting reality overtake us and not let us believe in that terrifying dream. Soon,his soft but dried lips found my tear-stained ones in a soothing kiss that made everything but him and I disappear.
“Lets get back to sleep. I promise you I won't let them get to us this time.”he said referring to those dreams of mine. We snuggled close on the bed and tried to fall asleep again. After something so scary for me,it was difficult to let sleep overtake me once more but I was so exhausted that I found my eyes closing in not time.
My eyes opened again a few hours later due to the sun hitting my face making it warm and impossible for me to stay asleep any longer. I turned my head slightly and was met with Gerard's peaceful sleeping figure next to me. I couldn't help but smile and sigh with relief that he was okay. Seriously I should stop nightmares from getting to me. After I gave him a soft kiss on his parted lips, I slowly and carefully got up from the bed without waking him up. I trudged my way to the kitchen while rubbing my sleepy eyes only to fall on Bob on my way there.
“Hey buddy look where you are going.”he said holding his head like it was about to explode.
“Felling hangover-is aren't we?”i giggle my usual high pitched female laughter.
“Oh shut up,you look like death yourself. How come you are up already? You usually sleep until noon.”Bob said as we walked together into the kitchen where I made us coffee which was needed for both of us.
“I just had a bad dream last night and the couldn't sleep very well but enough said about me. Tell me about you and why you seem like a wreck and don't bother to tell me it's just the hangover cause I can see past that you son of a bitch.”i said the last statement as accurate as hell.
“You are a dick! I don't know dude. I feel like something important happened last night but the only thing I can remember is getting drunk. Can you help me out over here? Is there something that you remember about last night?”he asked hopelessly.
I frowned as I looked into his confused eyes. I couldn't tell him about Mikey,he would kill me and accuse me of lying but then again I hated not telling him the truth.
“I am sorry man. I wish I could help but it's all a blur to me too. If I do remember anything though you will be the first to know.” I settled with the lie hopping that he would remember on his own or that Mikey would finally grow some balls to tell him he was into him and that they had kissed the night before.
Bob was about to say something when Gerard and Mikey appeared in the kitchen door.
“Oh hey guys.”said Bob and waved at them. Mikey was as white as a sheet of paper and it was it only time I had actually seen him looking scared. Was he gonna talk to Bob? Did he even remember anything? Gerard walked over to me and gave me a kiss on the cheek before purring some coffee for him as well. Mikey on the other hand walked up to Bob and with a terrified expression on his face opened his mouth to speak.
“Bob can I talk to you for a second?”he asked,his voice giving away his fear.
“Yeah what is it?Bob asked.
“I think it is better if we talk in private”Mikey said and led Bob into the living room.
Well this will either lead to disaster or a happy fairy tail ending. Who knows?
