Okay
I was feeling nice and seeing as that chapter for Was It Worth It? class=GramE>wasn’t particularly long I decided to post this too. On with the show...
Brian was led into the front room by Gerard, where all the others were waiting for him. As he passed him Brian gave Frank’s shoulder a reassuring squeeze and then took up a seat opposite Bob. “So, I’ve arranged the press conference like you all wanted and a couple of interviews, one with TRL and one with Fuse. Hopefully that way you can let the fans know...I guess...”
“It’s okay Brian.” Frank told him with a small smile. “We’ve all decided that this is the right course of action...for everyone involved.”
“And what about the tour? Are you cancelling it?”
“Yes.”
“No.”
Gerard and Frank looked at each other for a long moment, Ray looked from one friend to the other before turning back to Brian. “That...we’re still a little sketchy on...”
“Well...the press conference is in a week’s time, if I were you I’d get it straight by then because that’s the first thing they’re going to ask you.”
“Fine we vote on it.” Gerard said, sticking his hand in the air, like a child. “I say we cancel.”
“I vote we cancel too.” Mikey said, avoiding Frank’s eye as if he were committing some vile betrayal by siding with his brother.
“Well I vote you go. I don’t want you to all lose out because of me.” Frank said, defiantly.
“I’m going to side with Frank.” Bob said next, causing Gerard to look at him, shock written over his features. “Only because, I think that it’ll show the fans that were not just leaving them in the lurch.” Gerard’s features softened slightly but he held his resolve. “But we have a good reason for leaving it like this...Ray? You have the deciding vote...”
Ray hung his head, his long hair, covering his face. “I say...” He let out a deep sigh. “I...abstain...”
“WHAT?” Gerard and Frank’s blood looked like it was about to boil as they both leapt to their feet. The other four stared at them wide eyed for a moment or two before Ray spoke again. “I’m sorry guys...I just don’t know if I can call this one...”
Both men then turned on Brian, who looked quite petrified from the pressure the two men were putting on him. “I...speaking as your manager...I’d say no. If only for the fact that if you do you’re all gonna be distracted and it might actually annoy some fans more if you went that if you didn’t...” Frank’s features softened at this, he hadn’t thought of it that way. After a moment Frank exited the room and headed upstairs without another word, he needed some time to think.

Gerard opened the door to Frank’s house. A couple of shopping bags in his other hand. “I’m back!”
“Hey Gee! I’m in here!” Mikey called from the kitchen. Gerard followed the sound of his brother’s voice and as soon as he entered the kitchen, the gorgeous aroma of pancakes hit his nostrils. “Blimey Mikers! Those smell great!” he said, putting the bags on the side.
“Yeah, thought I could tempt Frankie with some?”
Gerard smiled at him before going round and putting an arm round his shoulders. “I’m sure he’ll love it...Where is Frank anyway?”
“In bed I think. He wasn’t feeling great earlier. Hey, can you call him, while I finish up here?”
“‘Course.” Gerard smiled and walked toward the stairs.
***
*Gerard’s POV*
“Frank!” I called. After a moment he appeared at the top of the stairs. “Yeah?”
“Mikey wants to talk to you.”
“Oh right.” Frank ran down the stairs. He seemed pretty lively. “You feel okay today?”
“Actually yeah. Not felt this good in a few days.” Gerard clapped him on the back. “That’s great news!”
Then Frankie stopped dead. He’d caught sight of the three plates at the table, stacks of pancakes piled on each. “Oh my...Mikey! You didn’t have to...”
“Hey, I figured it might help you get your appetite back a bit cause you said you weren’t hungry...” Frank practically ran to Mikey and hugged him tightly. “Mikey...you’re the best.”
Mikey shrugged him off smiling. “Never mind all that. Let’s eat.”
*** “Man. That was fantastic.” Gerard gave a satisfied sigh and a small burp.
“Wow Frank. I think that’s the first full meal you’ve eaten in days!” Mikey said with a goofy grin at the small boy, who smiled back. “Yup and it was gooood.” All three men laughed.
“Hey Mikey, I’ll clear up if you want to go and watch a movie together?” Mikey looked hopefully to Frank who nodded his approval of the idea. “I’d love to.” Gerard winked at Mikey who was now grinning from ear to ear.
***
“Okay Mikes, you pick something. I’ll be right back.” Mikey acknowledged before walking over to the extensive DVD collection.
Frank walked up the stairs quite slowly and when he got round the corner to his room, he had to put a hand out to steady himself on the wall. He felt really lightheaded but he knew it would pass, it always did. He didn’t want to worry the Way brothers anyway, not when there was no need. He went to his room and sat on the bed, popping open 2 bottles on his bedside table and taking out the correct tablets. When he stood up to get a drink of water the dizziness came back tenfold. He felt his knees buckle and he smacked his head on the corner of the dresser as he went down. He was unconscious before he hit the floor, the pills flying from his hand to rest on the carpet.

Gerard whistled a light tune as he finished putting away the last of the dishes and wiped his hands dry on his jeans. Then he headed for the front room. Mikey was sitting there, watching the menu to ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’, one of Frank’s faves, who appeared to be missing...
“Mikey? What’s going on? Where’s Frank?”
Mikey shrugged, turning to look at his brother. “Dunno. He went upstairs, said he’d only be a minute.”
“How long ago was that?” Mikey glanced down at his watch.
“Umm...10? 15 minutes?” Gerard frowned when he heard this. He headed up the stairs, Mikey watching him go with rapt interest.
“Frank?” There was no reply at Frank’s door. Very unlike him. Gerard tried the door and, to his relief, found it unlocked. “Frankie?” Gerard gasped at the scene laid out before him. “MIKEY!!”
Okay now don’t kill me because the next chapter is already in the process of being written so all will be explained. However, I regret to inform you that this story is on it’s last legs and will probably be ending in the next couple of chapters unless I come up with some fantasmagorical ideas...which I doubt...it will soon be over...Sorry about that. Tell me what you think. Slayya
