Save me ~ Mikey Way x Reader

XIV ~ Returning The Favor

"Th-thank you." Gerard sighed with a deep breath. He let go of me and wiped at his eyes.

"I'm just returning the favor." I smiled. Gerard chuckled, got up, and stretch. I stood up and brushed off my knees. My phone buzzed so I took it out of my pocket.

Mikes <3 : Y/n, where the hell are you and Gee?

Uh oh. Looks like hes up. And it's like four in the morning.

"Hey Gee, we should probably get going. Mikey's worried." I said as we began walking to the entrance.

"Shit. What am I gonna tell Mikey?" Gerard groaned.

"I think you should tell him. He's your little brother and should know what's going on with you." I suggested. Gerard sighed.

"I just don't want him to hate me." 

"He won't hate you."

"Yes he will y/n."

"No. He loves you and will want to help you. I guarantee." I assured Gerard. I should probably text Mikey back.

Y/n : Gerard and I needed to go for a walk. There's something we need to tell you when we get back.

Mikes <3 : You could have told me you were leaving

Y/n : I didn't have time to baby. I promise we'll explain everything when we get back. We're on our way.

Mikeys<3 : Fine.

The rest of the way back Gerard stayed quiet. I was mentally trying to figure out what I was going to say to Mikey to help Gee out.

Once the bus was in sight, I could see two tired boys sitting on the steps.

And a pacing Mikey. He turned around and saw us. He stood there impatiently waiting for us to get closer.

"Where the hell were you guys? I swear to god if you're doing something behind my back." Mikey yelled.

"Baby calm the fuck down. Gerard and I aren't doing anything behind you're back, Jesus." I huffed. Gerard stood there awkwardly quiet with his head down.

"Then why does he look so damn guilty?" Mikey pointed at Gerard who lifted his head. He was crying again.

"Mikey, could you calm down for a damn second to let us explain?" I said while walking back over to Gerard.

"Do you want to tell him or do you want me to?" I asked him while taking his hand. I heard Mikey huff behind me. I shot him a glare then looked back at Gerard.

"I c-can't say it." Gerard hiccuped. He looked down at the ground, suddenly becoming interested in his slippers.

I sighed and walked over to Mikey who still looked pissed.

"Mikey, sit." I said while dragging him over to the bench. He rolled his eyes at me while I motioned for the others to join. They looked at me confused until I explained.

"Gee tried to kill himself." I put it right out there. I heard Gee hiccup from behind me as the three boys faces dropped. Frank already had a tear formed in his eye as he walked over to comfort Gee. "I heard the door open to the bus so I went to investigate. When I opened the door and walked down the steps, I saw Gerard saying something to himself while pointing a gun to his head."

Mikey no longer looked pissed. He didn't look sad though. Just confused. Ray and Frank were now both holding Gee while Mikey just sat there.

"Mikey?" I whispered.

"I can't believe I was yelling at you guys for being together when my brother tried to kill himself." Mikey said while staring off into space. A single tear dropped down his cheek. I lifted his chin to look at me.

"It okay. Now go comfort you're brother." I said while walking over to the huddled up group. Mikey was soon to follow. We all just sat there around Gerard for a few minutes until the wind picked up, causing it to get colder.

"We should go inside. It looks like it's going to rain." Frank said while looking up into the sky. I nodded in agreement and stood up. The five of us walked into the tour bus and piled onto the couches. Mikey sat on the end with me leaning up against him. Gerard laid down on the same couch and rested his head on my lap. Mikey looked down at him suspiciously until I nudged his ribs. He took the hint and redirected his eyes. Ray and Frank sat on the opposite couch. We all stayed there, not saying anything. 

~~~

One by one each of us went back to bed, leaving just Gerard and I on the couch. He still had his head rested on my lap while I rubbed my hand against his arm. He wasn't moving around much so I figured he had fallen asleep. To double check, I leaned over to see if his eyes were closed, which they were. 

Careful not to wake him, I gently slid out from under him and replace my spot with a pillow. I grabbed the blanket from his bunk and tucked it over him, while also grabbing the pillow and blanket from my bunk and crashing on the opposite couch. The only reason I'm staying out here is so that I could keep an eye on Gerard over night. I was too afraid that he would pull another attempt once I was asleep, so I didn't sleep much that night. It was almost six am anyways. We had two road days ahead of us so I could sleep during the day while someone else was awake to check on Gee.

I never thought that Gerard would reach this low. He was practically at rock bottom. And cocaine? Really? That was the worst thing hes ever told me. Well, besides that he wants to kill himself. 

I know Frank will help me get Gerard back up. So will Mikey and Ray, no doubt. I just hope we can save him before it's too late.
