Hey
guys. Sorry this has taken so long. I think I have deleted and rewritten this chapter more times than I can count but I think I’m just about happy with it now. Reviews, constructive criticism and ideas are always welcome. Enjoy!
“Welcome home Frankie.” Gerard said as he held open the door to Frank’s house. Frank’s lips curved into a smile as he looked around his home. “Do you want a coffee or something?” Gerard asked. Frank nodded but didn’t speak, just walked toward the sofa. Gerard watched him for a moment before placing his and Frank’s bags beside the door and heading to the kitchen.
Frank sunk down into the cushions, finally starting to relax. He sat up slightly, glancing around for the TV Remote. It was then that he spotted one of the bottles of tablets, empty on the table. Frank reached over and took it in his hand, bringing it closer to himself. He stared at the small bottle for a long time; he wasn’t sure exactly how long it had been until Gerard walked in the room, two steaming mugs of coffee in his hands. “Here you go Frankie.”
Gerard sighed when he saw what was in Frank’s hand. He walked over, placing the mugs down and sitting beside him. “Are you okay?” he asked softly.
“I know it was stupid.” Frankie whispered. “I just...I didn’t know where else to turn...” Gerard’s heart broke a little when he said this...He pulled Frank into a hug, feeling tears begin to slide their way down his cheeks. Frank shook against him and sobs wracked him as well. “Frank...I...”
Gerard was cut off by a piercing ring. Frank made a sharp intake of breath before pulling back from Gerard and wiping the tears from his cheeks. He glanced up at Gerard quickly before reaching over and grabbing the phone off the small table. “Hello...hey Brian...yeah...I know...I’ve just been busy okay? Things have been a bit...hectic...” Gerard gave me ‘wanna deal with this’ look and Frank nodded slightly. “Look just talk to Gee...” he placed the phone in Gerard’s outstretched hand before getting to his feet and walking up the stairs, his shoulders slumped. Gerard sighed before placing the phone to his ear. “Hey Brian...yeah I know...sorry about this but this could take a while to explain...”

Mikey sighed deeply, collapsing on the bed. Alicia came into the room a moment later. “Where have you been?! You don’t call! You’re phone switched off and even when it’s on you don’t pick it up!!” Mikey gave a deflated sigh. This caused Alicia’s expression to soften. “Mikey? What’s wrong?”
She walked slowly towards the bed, sitting down on the edge of it. “What’s going on Mike? You’ve been really distant for the past couple of days. Going out all day, hardly a word when you come in. Did you even eat yesterday?”
Mikey shook his head, keeping his eyes fixed on the ceiling. “I’m sorry. I know things have been...weird lately...”
“It’s fine, really. I just...well I guess I wanna know what’s going on with you...You’re worrying me.” Mikey looked towards her, tears glistening in his eyes. “It’s not me...it’s...it’s Frank.”
Mikey couldn’t say anymore. He burst into tears. Alicia was shocked but quickly pulled his close into her chest as he cried. “He’s got...he’s...” Mikey spoke between sobs. “...cancer...”
Alicia reaction was instantaneous. She gasped slightly, gripping Mikey’s back harder. “No...not little Frankie...no...It can’t be...”
Mikey pulled away from her, staring her in the eye. “Trust me...I really wish it wasn’t...”
“Oh god...Mikey I’m so sorry...I never would of...” Mikey cupped her face in his hands. “You had no way of knowing...”
“Yeah but I should of just...I should of...” Mikey leaned forward capturing her lips in his own. When he pulled away, he saw she two had eyes that were glistening with tears. “I’m sorry...”
“Don’t apologise...just kiss me.” Alicia forced her lips to his in a bruising, searing kiss. In that moment everything just seemed so insignificant that Mikey just wanted to make love to her...just as if it was the last time he would ever touch her again. No more wasted moments with his loved ones, not anymore.

It had been 9 days since Frank was first released from hospital. He’d had another session with w:st="on">Brandon and he had to admit, annoyingly, the guy was growing on him. He wasn’t as obnoxious and irritating as he first thought. He’d also had two more chemo sessions...Gerard had come with him every time...but Frank convinced him to let him go in on his own. Gerard would never know this it was because that was his only real chance for some alone time to think...he always had one of the band with him every step of the way. He never got 5 minutes to himself. He understood that they were just scared and worried about him but it was a little overwhelming sometimes...
Right now, Frank was staring at his own reflection. Since the treatments had begun he’d become pale, large purple bags from exhaustion were forming under his eyes and his eyebrows he could see were starting to thin out. He sighed, running a finger over them before blinking harshly to stop any tears from coming. He ran his hands into his hair, breathing a large sigh. He gripped it fiercely in anger. It was then he found it wasn’t tugging as hard as it should. He frowned, slowly bringing his hands forward and gasped at what he saw there...thick clumps of dark hair were sitting in his hands.
He’d been waiting for this moment...it was just a matter of when...
In that moment Frank felt his stomach tighten. He was going to be sick. He dropped to his knees beside the toilet, and heaved up his stomach’s contents into the bowl. When there was nothing left, which hadn’t really been much to start with, considering how little he’d eaten over the past couple of days. He’d overheard Mikey say to Gerard that he thought that he was developing an eating disorder but Gerard just calmly explained that it was typical after chemo for patients to loose their appetites.
He took a couple of steadying breaths. Pulled himself up and rinsed his mouth with cool water. It was then that a knock on the bathroom door sounded. “Frankie?” It was Mikey. Frank looked at himself in the mirror, he looked terrible. He couldn’t allow Mikey to see him like this he just couldn’t. So he didn’t reply. “Frankie? Are you in there?” Another brief silence. “Frank? Are you okay?” Mikey began knocking the door rapidly. “Frank!”
He sunk to the floor, running his hands into hair again and curling up into a ball, rocking gently as he began to cry. Mikey was knocking almost frantically now. Frank curled up tighter, trying to almost curl away from the noise, ignore it. “Frank! Please answer me! Open the door!”
“I’m fine Mikey!” He finally yelled at the door. “Just leave me alone...please!”
There was another period of silence and then Frank heard some mutterings before the voice changed. “Frank? It’s Gee. Are you okay man?”
“I’M FINE!” Frank yelled back, getting so angry, he could felt the hot, wet tears falling from under his eyelashes.
“Please Frank...we’re worried...just unlock the door yeah?” Frank gave a defeated sigh, reaching out and clicking the lock open before resuming his original position.
As Gerard and Mikey pushed open the door, they were stunned by what they saw. Frank was sitting on the floor, rocking, hair scattered in the sink and patches beginning to form on Frank’s head. “Oh my god...” Gerard’s stomach lurched as he realised what was going on...the chemo...He held it all in though. He had to be strong for Frank. “Mikey. Go downstairs.
“But Gee...I...”
“Now!” Gerard’s tone left no room for discussion. Mikey left the scene quietly. Gerard slowly approached his friend and knelt beside him. He noticed the sick in the toilet. “It started huh?”
Frank didn’t answer just leant against Gerard, and let Gerard comfort him as best he could. He wasn’t really listening to what Gee was telling him just liking the warmth of Gerard’s body next to his. “I need you to help me with something...” Frank said suddenly, out of the blue.
“Sure Frankie. Anything.” Gerard told him. Frank took a deep breath. “Help me shave it off.”
***
Frank stared at himself in the mirror as Gerard slowly began removing his hair with the razor...section by section. He could see Gerard’s face glistening in the low lights of the bathroom and knew what he was seeing was tears.
Frank glanced down into the sink, watching large clumps of his dark hair slowly falling from his head. To his surprise so far he hadn’t shed a single tear. Then the buzzing stopped and Frank glanced toward Gerard who nodded his head slightly, signalling that it was all done. Frank looked back into the mirror and stared at himself for a long moment. Then the familiar sensation in his stomach returned. He took a steadying breath before realising it wasn’t fading. He sighed before dropping his knees and promptly retching over the toilet. He hadn’t eaten so all that was coming up was bile, searing painfully at his throat and oesophagus.
He heard Gerard sigh deeply behind him and knelt down, rubbing his back gently until he was done. He turned back to Gerard a minute later and buried his head in Gerard’s shoulder. “Thank you.” Frank whispered.
“Anything for you Frankie. Anything.”
Take a breath I pull myself together Just another step till I reach the door You’ll never know the way it tears me up inside to see you I wish that I could tell you something To take it all away Sometimes I wish I could save you And there’re so many things that I want you to know I won’t give up till it’s over If it takes you forever I want you to know When I hear your voice Its drowning in a whisper It’s just skins and bones There’s nothing left to take No matter what I do I can’t make you feel better If only I could find the answer To help me understand Sometimes I wish I could save you And there’re so many things that I want you to know I wont give up till it’s over If it takes you forever I want you to know That if you fall, stumble down I’ll pick you up off the ground If you lose faith in you I’ll give you strength to pull through Tell me you won't give up cause I’ll be waiting if you fall Oh you know I’ll be there for you (Ahahaha) If only I could find the answer To take it all away Sometimes I wish I could save you And there are so many things that I want you to know I wont give up till it's over If it takes you forever I want you to know (Oh) I wish I could save you I want you to know (Ohohh) I wish I could save you (oh)

Simple Plan – Save You
Okay so I added these lyrics because I was listening to this song and it kinda reminded me of this fic and Gee’s feelings towards this whole thing with Frankie. Sorry that’s kinda random but anyway, if you guys get a chance to check this song out, do. I really love it and I’m quite addicted at the moment. Anyway, reviews make me smile. Slayya x
