Chapter 86
Gerard groaned and opened his eyes, it nearly blinded him, it was a horrible bright light and everything was white. He tried to move but he was so weak. He couldn’t be dead could he? He was a vampire after all. He didn’t even know what he was doing here, wherever it was. He groaned, trying to get attention and he felt someone take his hand.
“Oh Gee thank god you’re ok!!” Said Frank. It should have been Mikey in here but Mikey had managed to persuade the doctor to let Frank in instead. After all Frank was Gerard’s Fiancé and he was carrying his baby. It was only fair.
“Frankie, is that you? Where am I?”
“You’re in hospital Gee. There was an accident and you were hurt and and….I thought you were dead Gee!!!!”
Gerard tried to laugh but realised it was a mistake and just moaned in pain instead.
“You can’t get rid of me that easily Frankie and anyway, I’m a vampire. We don’t die that easily either.”
“I know but I was so scared Gee there was blood and and everything!!”
Gerard squeezed Franks hand as best as he could.
“Calm down Frankie, it might harm the baby.”
“But the blood Gee, there was loads.”
“Frankie please don’t talk about blood right now. I’m hungry and I can’t exactly feed here can I? People would find out.”
Frank smiled, resting his head on the pillow next to Gerards and started to stroke his hair gently. He didn’t know what he’d do if he lost Gerard. It didn’t bear thinking about. Especially not with the baby on the way.
“So, what did the doctor say then?” Asked Gerard, trying to ignore the craving to feed right now.
“He said you’d need to stay in at least overnight, just so the can make sure everything’s ok.”
Gerard groaned again. He didn’t think he could last until tomorrow without feeding and certainly not any longer.
“Maybe you should go home and get some rest Frankie. Come back and see me tomorrow with the others or something.” He didn’t want Frank to be there if he had got to stay. He knew he could get quite nasty if he was hungry.
“But Gee, I wanna stay with you.” Pouted Frank, trying the famous puppy eyes again. They didn’t work this time.
“Please Frankie, I’m just going to sleep anyway. You’ll get bored.”
“OK, but I’m coming back as soon as they let visitors again. I love you.” Said Frank, kissing him goodbye.
