(This is sad and short, I'm sorry)

I walked through the empty halls of my high School, running my hands on the lockers that lined every hall. It was the last day of school and I was going to graduate next year. I was scared shitless.

Frank walked next to me, holding my hand as we walked in silence. See, I was in love with him. He didn't know that.

"Gerard?" Frank asked quietly.

"Yes?" I responded, looking at him.

"Do you ever think Lindsey would like me?" He asked, looking hopeful. You see, Lindsey was my other best friend. I wasn't in love with her.

"Uh, you like Lindsey?" I asked, masking the sound of my heart breaking. He nodded and I pulled my hand away from his.

"Yeah, she'll like you," I said sadly.

~~ (next year)

"I love you," Frank said to Lindsey. She hugged him and kissed his neck before saying it back. It was like a car crash. I couldn't look away but I didn't want to see it. There were silent tears streaming down my face so I turned around and left.

I found my family and hugged them all before running to my car and getting in. I slammed my head against the head rest and sobbed until I couldn't breathe before driving towards my house.

I was speeding and swerving slightly due to the fact that I couldn't see well from the tears and when I went to go dodge a car that was about to cut in front of me, I swerved and my car hit a tree and everything blacked out as the airbag collided with my head and sent shards of glass into my face.

~~

"...Concussion, severe blood loss, broken rib, broken right arm, broken nose, severe lacerations across face and chest from the windshield, there was no alcohol or drugs in his system so we have no idea why he crashed, he may have been emotional or distracted, we don't know. He should wake up soon," a female doctor said to the other people in the room.

The white lights of the hospital glared in my eyes as I opened them. My mom was here, she had clearly been crying, Mikey was next to her and Frank was on the other side of me.

"He's awake," Frank said quietly. He had also been crying, I could tell by the way his voice shook as he spoke and his face was slightly blotchy around his eyes.

"I'm sorry," I rasped out. I really did feel awful. I didn't want them to worry about me.

"You have nothing to be sorry for. You didn't know you'd crash, do you remember why you crashed?" Frank asked. I looked at my mom and Mikey and asked them to leave for a moment so I could talk to Frank alone. They understood and said they'd be outside if we needed anything.

"Frank, I crashed because I was upset. I was crying... I was crying because I-I couldn't stand seeing you with Lindsey. I-I'm in love with you Frank. I have been for years," I said as I began to cry. He backed up a bit and sat down. It looked like he was deep in thought. I bit my lip as I tried to muffle the sobs coming out from in between my lips.

"I'm sorry, Gerard. I-if I had known I wouldn't have shoved it in your face as much but I don't feel the same way about you, Gerard," Frank said calmly. I turned over in my bed away from him. I didn't even want to look at him, I was that upset. I sobbed louder and tried to use the hospital pillow to muffle the sounds. Frank reached out to try and console me but I yelled at him and pushed him away.

Everything seemed to morph together and the room slipped away as I was plunged into the depths of pitch black in my mind. I closed my eyes and it felt as if I had stopped breathing but the relentless pounding in my head would never cease. I faintly felt a warm body pressed against me as I was pushed into the dream world.

~~

I was in a bed, a warm body pressed against me. I opened my eyes and I was greeted with the blaring white lights of my hospital room. Frank was pressed against me with his arm wrapped around my middle. It appeared that he did not know I had woken up because he was tracing small circles on my arm and he kept saying 'I'm sorry' under his breath, against my back.

I felt a faint wetness on my back and I could tell he had been crying. I didn't want him to be distressed because of me.   I flipped over and hugged him against my chest.

"You don't need to be sorry, it's not your fault," I said before kissing the top of his head. He nodded and sobbed quietly as I sobbed against him as well. We stayed like that for a while until he fell asleep again. I sang quietly to him while he slept.

"He used to dance
He used to cry as she held my hand
Oh no we used to say
We won't ever change change change
I fell in love with my best friend
He fell in love with you instead
'cause he's a teenage heartbreak king
Oh it's me and my misery
I fell in love with my best friend
Now he is sleeping in your bed
'cause he's a teenage heartbreak queen
Now it's me and my misery." I sang to him.

"I love you, Frank," I whispered, kissing his head and crying silently.

~~

"I do," Frank said happily.

"I do," Lindsey replied.

Gerard laid nearby, underground, in a coffin. For he could not live to see the day the love of his life married someone else.

This story has no happy ending.
