Saved By Mikey Way

Chapter 18: Bleed it Out.

I choked on something that was in my throat. I was only able to catch small cold sharp breaths of air as I stared up at a ceiling. The room was dark and I was covered by something, only up to my waist through; I felt the weight. My heart was racing from what ever I had just come out of. I felt the sweat seap down my back and forehead. The room became bitterly cold like it had last time. I was finally able to breath again normally. I sat up in the bed. I wasn't alone. I saw a body mass lying beside me. I don't care who it is. I do want to know if that wasn't just a dream. I looked around the dark room, only shards of the moon light shining through the peeks in the curtains lit the room dimly. I jerked slightly when I saw some one sitting in the chair at the foot of the bed. I couldn't make any thing out but there was some one there. I stayed silent and motionless as we watched each other.

"I hope you're happy, you've fixed things." A femal voice said slowly and quietly. I didn't move a muscle. I sat perfectly still as Joey's voice pierced the bitter air.

"Your two worlds colided and your two halves, or may I say. Your two wrongs made one right." She said softly but firmly. What does she mean by that? Does that mean I have a whole new life? Does that mean things are back to normal? I blinked and she was gone. I didn't know what she meant by any of that so I had to find out myself. I uncovered myself and my feet met the cold floor. I made my way down stairs before having to unlock a door. I noted that we were on a second floor. I moved silently through the house. We were in New Jersey, I know that for fact. From where I stood I turned right and headed down a dark hall way.  I peered into a room and sighed. There lay a small boy. Bobby. I was back finally. But she said the two worlds coilded that means that I have a son with cancer and a daughter named Cherry. And a bunch of nieces and nephews. And a grand daughter. I felt my heart race as I sped through the house loudly.

"Matt!" I called for him with tears streaming down my face. I heard doors opening and people stirring. I saw small masses peek out of rooms and over the safety railing. I didn't know where he is. Where is my baby?! I ran through the house calling for him, cheeking everyroom I know. My heart raced as I stood by the front door and looked out.

"Matthew!" I shouted. I saw some one race down the stairs, Frank. Thank god, he'll know where Matt is. His expression was worried and delighted. I felt his arms wrap around me after he gazed deep into my eyes. I hugged him back tightly.

"He's fine, everyone's fine. Don't worry." Frank whispered in my ear reassuringly. I sighed a breath of relif. I think if he left me hanging without information for a minute longer I would've given myself a heart attack. I pulled away from Frank and gazed into his eyes. I noticed lights were on and people were watching me with strange expressions.

"Where is he?" I asked intently. A disappointed expression drew Frank's beautiful face down and it became ghostly pail. His eyes went from lively to empty and sad.

"Mom." Matt's mature voice said. I peered around Frank to see the topless boy standing there. His skin reddened. It looked like a nasty sun burn. No! I felt my heart ache.

"What happened?" I asked softly, my eyes became watery and blurred. Matt looked from me to his dad. I was so glad Matt still has my eyes. Matt looked at his red skin and laughed.

"Mom, I just got back from Mexico from being on holidays. I got sun burnt." He explained. I closed my eyes and let the breath I didn't realize I holding go. It was just a sun burn. I smiled at him and laughed at my stupidity. I saw Abby come running up to me with a huge smile on her face. She looked to be almost nine maybe. I couldn't take it, this was too much. Everything I've ever wanted was here. My daughter was alive, my son didn't have cancer and I know who I am. I looked at Mikey and smiled.

"Michael James Way, you saved my life." I said slowly so he could hear me. I'm sure he doesn't have a god given clue about what I'm talking about. A smile crocked on his face and he blushed slightly.

"I know, if it wasn't for me I wouldn't have told Frank you were staying at that hotel and he wouldn't have practically stalked you for three days." Mikey told me something I didn't know but I don't care. I had everything that I could've asked for and more. A beautiful husband, seven wonderful children and a family that has been sent from god. I felt my heart swell as I looked at all the people who cared about me. I felt tears run down my cold face. My hands shook and my lower lip trembled.

"I love all of you guys." I said to everyone. It was true. I loved every single one of them.
