Me, MCR and the fire..., chapter 9
"What's Frankie? Gee what is it?"
"He collapsed on stage, the doctors dunno what it is. Sam can you come to the hospital? Please?" Gerard prctically begged.
"This can't be happening," I said quietly, tears were welling up in my eyes. First the fire, then Drew and now Frank.
"Sam, please come."
"Ok Gee, I'll be there within the hour," I promised.
"Thanks Sam," Gerard sighed a sigh of relief.
"Cya soon."
"Bye."
I jumped out of bed, pulled my Liverpool fc shirt (I get a lot of stick wearing that seen as I live in Manchester) and black jeans out of my drawers.
I ran a brush through my hair, pulled my black converses on then applied a tiny bit of make-up so i didn't look dead.
I quickly scribbled a note, telling the others where I'd be, grabbed my car keys and jacket then ran out of the apartement.
When I got into my car and started up the engine I turned the heat up, as it was November it was freezing cold.
I drove as fast as my crappy car would go and arrived at the hospital in half an hour.
As it was the middle of the night I quicklt found a parking space then rushed towards the hospital reception to find Gerard waiting outside.
"Gee, what happened?" I asked after hugging him.
"He was fine one minute and then lying on the floor the next," Gerard explained in disbelief.
"How is he now?"
"He's in theatre. Doctors say he broke his ankle in the fall so they're pinning it. They still dunno why he collapsed."
We were both silent as we walked to where Ray, Bob, Mikey and Sienna were sitting waiting.
"Hey," I said quietly.
"Sam, you came!" Mikey hugged me. Ray and Bob sent me worried smiles and Sienna..well..didn't even look at me. She had her arm rested lazily across her stomach, I assumed she wasn't feeling too good.
Another half an hour later Frank came out of surgery.
I was sitting between Mikey and Gerard with my head on Gerard's right shoulder and Mikeys head on MY right shoulder. We were all asleep.
"Gerard? You can go and see him now," I heard Sienna say. My eyes snapped open. Sienna looked as though she'd beem crying, she sent us all one last look then hurried off.
"Coming?" Gerard asked as he stood up.
"You lot can go, I'll be in in a minute," I smiled.
* Gerard's point of view *
We were fianlly(sp) allowed to see Frank. Sienna had left pretty quickly, I wondered what had happened.
"How're you mate?" I asked once I got over the shock of seeing Frank look so ill and white.
"Fine," he whispered putting on a brave smile.
"Sam's with us," Mikey informed him.
"Really?" Frank answered his face lighting up and his smile less brave and more truly(sp) happy. "Where is she?"
"She's just paying Drew a quick visit," I told him.
He looked so different, so ill. His skin was pure white, his hair flat against his head and his make-up gone. He just didn't look like Frank.
* Sam's POV *
I had to sneak past nearly every doctor and nurse in the whole hospital to see Drew. He was kinda surprised to see me in the middle of the night and was even morse surprised when I told him about Frank.
I managed to dodge past the doctors and nurses once again and was soon back outside Frank's room.
Gerard, Mikey, Ray and Bob came out five minutes later.
"Ok?" Bob asked, I silently nodded then walked slowly into Frank's room.
"Hey," He said really quietly.
"Hi," I answered then sat on the chair next to his bed.
"You ok?"
"I'm good. How're you?"
"Well..y'know..in hospital," Frank smiled.
I laughed through the tears silently falling down my cheeks.
"Hey don't cry! Whatcha crying fpr? I'm alive aren't I?" Frank said finding my hand and squeezing it gently "Don't worry 'bout me."
* Mikey's POV *
We stayed in the hospital all night. Sleeping on the hard plastic blue chairs in the waiting area.
Finally at 6am Frank's doctor said they'd found out why he'd collapsed.
We followed into Frank's room to see Sam sitting on the grey chair with her head on Frank's shoulder and his head resting on hers. They were both fast asleep, Sam had her hand in Frankie's. To be honest this made me smile and as I looked around to the other guys I noticed that it had made them smile also. Even though Frank was with Sienna he had never stopped liking Sam.
"Is that his girlfriend?" The doctor asked.
"Actually no," Ray answered. The doctor (who was called Dr Davies) looked confused.
"They're just really good mates," I informed him.
"Oh, hi guys," Frank smiled sleepily.
"We've found the cause to your collapse," Dr Davies announced.
"You have?" Frank asked. Sam suddenly sat up.
"Yes. Frank did you know you have diabeties?" Dr Davies asked. Frank shook his head. I couldn't help thinking it was a stupid question. "When you were onstage your blood sugar levels got dangerously low. We're going to keep you in for one more night to explain to you what you need to do with the insulin we're going to give you."
"Ok," Frankie nodded as though he was in shock.
"I'm gunna go ring Claire, Ceri and Becki to let them know whats going onok?" Sam asked. Frank nodded then she kissed on his forehead "Cya soon."
* Sam's POV *
I made my way outside so I could ring Claire, Cez and Bex. Knowing them they would have heard me leave and they'd be beside themselves with worry. My note was only brief.
"Hello?" Came Claire's voice after just 3 rings.
"Hey Claire," I smiled.
"Omg Sam! How is he?" Claire asked. I heard her shout Bex and Cez then pressing a button obviously putting me on loud speaker.
"He's fine. He collapsed onstage and broke his ankle, his doctor has just told us that he has diabeties. His blood sugar levels went dangerously low which caused his collapse," I told them.
"Poor Frankie," I heard Ceri and Becki say.
"We'll come down," Claire told me "We'll be there soon."
"Ok I'll get Gerard or one of the guys to meet you outside reception."
"Ok. Cya soon."
"Bye," I said before ending the call then switching my moblie off.
"You ok?" Gerard asked me when I got back into the little waiting area.
"Ye, I'm fine," I smiled back. "Claire, Ceri and Becki are coming down will one of you go meet them?" I asked.
"I will," Gerard voulenteered. "I need a cigarette anyway."
They arrived 45 minutes later. When they came into Frankie's room I was holding his hand once again and we were talking about random stuff.
"Hey Frank!" I heard Becki say.
"Oh hi you three!" Frank replied.
Claire found three other chairs and pulled them next to mine.
"How you doing?" She then asked.
"O y'know I'm doing ok," Frank answered "I'd rather not talk about me though, lets move on from that. How're you guys?"
An hour later Claire and Becki dragged me away (not litrelly lol) while Cez went to visit Drew do I could eat and so I could get a shower.
"And to think you wouldn't even see the guy the other day!" Claire smiled as we got into the car.
"Guys I'm gunna be serious for a few minutes," I announced.
"Oh my god!" Becki gasped sarcastically.
"I...er...think I'm falling in love with Frank."
When we got back to the apartement I ate a sandwich, then deciced to skip the shower and go to bed.
That was 12 hours ago. When I finally woke up it was 3pm the next day.
"Hey! Sleeping Beauty's finally decided to join us," Someone said sarcastically when I walked into the kitchen.
"Shut up Gerard," I replied sleepily "Gerard? What're you doing here?"
"Nice to know I'm loved! The other guys are out getting sushi," Gerard replied.
"Mikey's turn to pick the resturant?"
"Uh-huh. I have nothing against my brother but I'm SICK of sushi!! I met Ceri at the hospital and she invited me over."
"Cool," I nodded as I bit into the piece of toast I had made while he was talking. "Er hows Frank?" I dunno why but I felt sort of embarassed after Gerard and the guys seeing me get kinda close to Frank in the hospital.
"Hillarious!" Gerard laughed.
"Wha?" I asked confused.
"You should see him getting confused over his insulin, its sooo finny!2
"And you're sooo mean!!" I laughed shaking my head.
"Yup!" Gerard said kinda proudly "His mom's there with him now."
"When are you going back?"
"Er now I think," Gerard replied looking at his watch.
"Could you wait like 10 minutes while I get changed?" I asked, I had taken a shower before going in the kitchen.
"Sure," Gerard shrugged.
"Thanks Gee!" I smiled, hugged him then ran into my room.
"He collapsed on stage, the doctors dunno what it is. Sam can you come to the hospital? Please?" Gerard prctically begged.
"This can't be happening," I said quietly, tears were welling up in my eyes. First the fire, then Drew and now Frank.
