Gerard

"Drive me to the hospital please?!" I pleaded with my mother.

"Just let me do it now." She argued back. I had asked her to drive me to the hospital so the doctors could take off my bandages in front of Frank, but she denied, so I have been running around the house trying to avoid her.

"Please?"

"No Gerard. Let me do it now."

"What's going on in here?" Perfect timing Michael.

"Mikey! Take me to the hospital so Frank can take my bandages off!" I yelled.

"Sure why not." Yes! I could tell my mom was scowling at him.

"You're welcome." He whispered to me.

"You heard?!"

"Well, you tripped a lot, and mom was yelling. Yeah, I heard."

"Thanks Mikey. You're a good brother."

"The best brother?"

"You're pushing it." I informed him.

"What ever, we are here."

"Gerard? Wait!" The receptionist called.

"Yeah? What's up?" I asked her.

"Frank's not here." She informed me.

"Where is he?" My voice shook.

"He was sent home. He's gonna die, Gerard. The doctors want him to be comfortable."

"Where is his house."

"I can't tell you that." How! I just, I wanted to see him! But my jaw wouldn't move. I couldn't speak.

"Gerard? Come with me please." Melanie said. I followed her voice and she let me grab her hand. I could easily take off the bandages, but I wanted Frank to be there.

"Where are we going." I asked her.

"I'm taking you to Frank." She said cheerily.

"But he's not here?" I was confused. So very confused.

"He's in critical condition. He had a seizure today, but he's doing better. Here we are, go on in." She pushed me in the room.

"Gerard?" Frank said, his voice raspy, like he just woke up from a nap.

"Hey Frankie. I came so you could take my bandages off. Will you?"

"Of course." I followed his frail voice and sat on his bed.

"What happened?" I asked him while he took of my bandages gingerly.

"I had a seizure, I'm gonna die Gee." He started crying.

"You're not gonna die, until you live well past your eighties." I informed him.

"Open your eyes." I did as he told, and saw him crying.

"Stop crying Frank! I'm not gonna let you die! You're not dying. I'm taking you home tomorrow. You're going to live with me, and my mom, and Mikey. Because I love you. And I'll never stop." He didn't respond, and I just held him.

Hello. And welcome to the drama that I write. I hope you enjoy.

So long
