Chapter 23

He went directly to Frank’s mom; We all stand up and circle him. Mrs. Iero held hands with his husband. “We did the surgery for about four hours. There were some complications” “Yes?” Her voice was shaking. “He had an NRO“ “What?” I felt dizzy. But didn’t move a muscle. “A no resuscitation order” “Ah?” His father looked confused. I felt a cold wind behind my back, I was frozen in my spot, I even forgot to breath. “I’m really sorry.” “What do you mean?” His mother voice was too painful. The doctor started to explain what the no resuscitation order was, but I didn’t it hear it. I just started to walk away, I knew what that meant. Then I heard the scream of mother crying for his dead son. I heard the cries from Alicia; I saw her crying on Mikey chest. Bob was sitting on the floor and Ray was holding Brian. Jamie was just looking to the wall, hitting his head on the wall. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…..NOOOOOOOOOO NO..” She was on the floor crying, her arms wrapped around herself. “He’s my baby!!!” Frank’s mum was hysterical. I looked everything, “You can’t take my baby away from me!!!!!” She fight back his husband Who was trying to held her “ NOOOOOOOO” I couldn’t feel my body, I was numb. He’s gone She started to punch the floor as Mr. Iero held her. He was crying to. “Why? God!! NOO “ God? There was no God. I keep walking away. I get to the coffee machine. I held my self form it, suddenly I felt a big weight over my body. “Gee?” I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Mikey. He turned me around. He was crying and sobbing. “Gee?...” I just shook my head. I looked to the floor, my whole body started to trembling. “Gee…..He…” He doubt it for a second ”He’s dead” My brain didn’t wanted to process those words. “Don’t say that!” I pointed at him angrily “Gerard, Frank is dead” “No” My voice was lower than a whisper. He held me, but I just stood there frozen. “No.” He let me go to notice my petrified face. I held myself and inhaled his essence still on my from the morning bath I opened my mouth and started to breath thought it, heavenly. I tried to speak but no sound came out. His essence on me, never again on me. Dead. He’s dead. I tried to scream. But no sound came out. My eyes grew wide and I started to shake even worse. Mikey held me again and I held him back this time. “No” My voice was a whisper I felt the grip, Mikey was stopping that my body crash to the floor. “NO” Then I knew it. His smile. Never again His eyes shining Never again. His soft skin Never again His lips on my lips; never again. His gentle touch; never again. Frank Never again.
