Lindsey immediately wen to tears. Mikey comforted her in a hug even though he himself was crying.
I, too, broke down. To think I was the last person to see, and talk to him. Ray, Christa, and Frank were trying to comfort me, but I didn't want it. I brushed them off, and crossed to the other side of the room for emphasis. After that they left me alone.
Ten minutes or so went by. Lindsey and Mikey still comforting each other. The others not really sure what to do, but obviously sad.
Finally Frank spoke up. "So, where do we go from here?"
Everyone just kind of stared at him. No one had an answer though.
"It's obvious the band is done. I don't like that conclusion, but it's the truth. Without one of us, we can't go on." Frank continued.
"He's right." Mikey chimed in. "My Chemical Romance is dead. Our name will carry on though. It's what my brother would have wanted."
"How would you know?!" I snapped at Mikey. The conversation wasn't what I wanted to hear. Especially now, when more than ever, I needed My Chemical Romance.
"Calm down." Lindsey said, still dabbing away tears. " i understand that that isn't what you wanted to hear. Their band, like it did for so many others, gave you hope. You think your hope is gone now though?" I nodded. "In one sense yes, but you shouldn't focus on that. You should remember that hope, and try to preserve it. We all lost a friend today. For me he was a husband, and father of our child. For Mikey, a brother. For Ray and Frank a friend who practically should have been their brother. For you, Zane, he was a friend, an idol, and a hero. All these things, he'll be remembered for. Doesn't that give you hope?"
For the first time since she started talking, I looked Lindsey in the eyes. There were still tears in her eyes, but a small smile of hope too. "Yeah. It does. That gives me lots of hope." I answered with a little smile of my own.
She surprised me with a hug, but i hugged her back without question. "Good." she whispered into my ear. "Now," She began after releasing me. "There's a lot to be done. So, I suggest we all go home, and try to get a good nights rest."
We all agreed saying out good nights, and giving hugs. I got hugs from everyone, even Mikey.
"I'm sorry for snapping at you" I told Mikey.
"It's okay. You had your reasons." He told me.
To be continued...
The reason why I killed Gerard was that this story started with Zane being a depressed teen who had lost the only people he loved, not once, but twice. After things had got so much better for Zane, it seemed that things were too good to be true. So, I sent everything crashing back down by killing Gerard. That is my reason, I am a writer, and I will write what if fit for the story. Comments please.
