I walked into the room, changing the old, dying flowers with a brand new bouquet. I sat down next to my boyfriend, holding his hand as I looked him over.

"I went to the mall with your brother today, we almost got kicked out of Sephora," I told him with a small laugh. "We were playing around and almost knocked down and broke an entire display of nail polish. It wasn't my fault, though. You blame your brother, he's the one who started it in the first place and almost got us fucking banned.

"We got ice cream after that too. We went to that one place just off the freeway that you like. They got a new flavor and finally got rid of that shitty pistachio one. The new one is this, like, cappuccino flavor. I think you'd love it, you're like a coffee addict. As soon as you get out of here then we'll go there and eat ice cream until our stomachs burst.

"Also, they finally added the next season of The Flash to Netflix, I know you love all those superhero shows. I'm going to wait to watch it until you're back. Even though it'll take everything within me not to watch it, you know those shows always end in cliffhangers. Once you get out we're just going to get a bunch of cappuccino ice cream and binge watch shows together."

I looked at him, hoping to get a response but I got nothing. Gerard's been in a coma for a while now. He had been crossing the street to just grab the mail when a car came speeding down the road and hit him. They didn't even stop, they just left his broken body in the middle of the road until another car drove by five minutes after and found him.

I remember where I had been at the time I got the call. I was at work, which was just at some pizza shop. My phone was ringing and I almost let it go to voicemail. I threw up when I heard the news, I was just in such a panic. My boss had to drive me to the hospital where I found out he was in a coma. That was five months ago now.

Thankfully he was healed now. All his broken bones and scrapes and bruises were healed. The only problem was him and just the fact that he wouldn't wake up and nobody really knew why.

"Oh, and I got a new pair of shoes," I said. "I think they're pretty rad. I think you'd be able to fit them too, I know you're like a half a size or a full size bigger than me. These shoes do have toe space though so you might be able to squeeze it."

I smiled at him, squeezing his hand.

"And Mikey started dating this new guy," I said. "I can't remember his name. Fuck...it's like right on the tip of my tongue. Oh man, this is going to bother me now. Alex, no, that doesn't sound right...Pete! Oh yeah, his name is Pete. He seems pretty cool so far, I've talking to him once. He's in a band, I don't think I've heard the name of it though."

My fingers ran through his black hair and I kissed his forehead.

"I bought you a gift for your birthday too," I said. "You are gonna shit your pants when you see it, I swear it's literally the best present you will ever receive in your entire life."

A nurse came in and did his daily check up.

"Anything new from when I was gone?" I asked hopefully.

"I'm sorry, Frank," she said quietly before leaving and shutting the door.

I sighed, leaning back in my seat. I'm here almost all day everyday. I wish I could never leave his side but I still have to live because if I don't then I don't know how I could possibly make it out alive if Gerard passes away.

"I was thinking about getting a dog too," I said. "I want a little chihuahua, you know I love chihuahuas. There was this one at the shelter I saw that was just so damn cute and I want her. Maybe once you wake up we can go pick out a dog and it can be like our little child."

I picked his hand up, gently kissing the back of it as I sat here and watched him sleep.

A few days later I was back again, just like I was everyday. I just watched him sleep all peacefully.

"I was at the store today and I saw this one shirt and it looked like something you'd wear," I said. "I was going to buy it for you but they ran out of your size. I knew you would've loved it.

"And I cleaned up your art stuff too. I know you don't really like it when I touch that stuff but it was a fucking mess. Aren't you gonna be upset? Come on, Gee, get upset. Wake up and yell at me, please, just do something."

I broke down sobbing, resting my head on the side of his mattress as I cried.

"Please wake up," I begged. "I need you, Gee, I can't do this without you. Please wake up, I promise I'll do anything."

He didn't do anything and I took a deep breaths.

"Th-there's nothing wrong with you, the doctor's ran every test possible," I said. "Y-you should be awake, you should be by my side. We're Frank and Gee, nothing is supposed to come between us."

I looked at his peaceful face as I sighed

"I have to go now," I said quietly. "I'll see you tomorrow, baby, I love you."

I stood up, softly kissing his forehead.

I walked into the hospital, about to enter his room when his doctor stopped me.

"Frank, I think it's about time to start talking about pulling the chord," he said.

"Y-you wanna kill my boyfriend?" I whimpered.

"Frank, he's been in a coma for a year now, the chances of him waking up are slim," he said in the most sympathetic voice he could.

I shook my head, walking into Gerard's room as I shut the door behind me. I changed his flowers, putting a new bouquet into the vase.

"I got yellow this time," I said. "I know you love the color yellow."

I sighed, kissing his forehead before sitting down in my seat beside his bed. The others don't visit anymore, they don't think he's going to wake up. His brother comes every other week, I still come by every single day.

"I got the dog," I said. "Oh my god, she's such a cutie. She likes to curl up in bed with me. It's nice to have someone around, the house seems so lonely."

My fingers ran through his hair gently as I smiled.

"You'd love her," I said. "She's such a sweetheart. I'm trying to train her now, she's just a little puppy. I almost bought the entire litter, I just couldn't help myself but Jamia talked me down to only getting one. But I don't think an entire litter of chihuahuas would be a bad thing, they're so cute. I got her a little sweater too, she's so cute.

"And I also watched the new episodes of The Flash. I'm sorry, I knew we were going to binge watch it together but I just couldn't help myself. Aren't you upset with me, Gee? Please, wake up and yell at me, hit me, I don't care, just please do something."

I sniffled, wiping my eyes.

"There was a girl I saw in one of the other rooms," I said. "She was in a coma too but I don't know for how long. She was really young, probably only five or six. Imagine what her parents must be feeling, their little girl all hurt and not waking up."

I bit my lip when I remembered what I had in my bag.

"I painted you a picture," I said. "I know it's not as good as your art but it's still kinda nice."

I pulled out the small canvas and leaned it against the vase on the small table next to him.

"That's our little puppy," I said. "Her name's Peppers. It's not the most realistic. Trust me, she looks a lot cuter in real life. I think I deformed her face a little."

I held onto his hand, squeezing it softly.

"You're so pretty," I said. "I swear if you wake up I'll marry you. Please wake up, Gee, I love you. I'll marry you the second you wake up."

I looked at hopefully but his face remained the same.

"They all gave up on you," I whispered. "Th-they want me to pull the plug, they want me to let you die. I can't let you die, you're everything to me. Please wake up, baby, I don't want them to pull the plug on you."

I rested my head down on the mattress as I fell asleep.

I got to his hospital room, giving him new flowers again. I sighed as I sat down, holding onto his hand.

"I got a new job," I said. "I work at that one record shop now, it pays more than the pizza place. Plus, it takes every ounce of control to not eat the pizza. The new job is pretty cool so far, it's easier than the pizza place."

My thumb rubbed along the back of his hand gently as I smiled softly.

"Peppers is finally trained too," I said. "I think she's lonely though, we should get another puppy again. We'll have a bunch of puppy children. We have a guest room, we can just turn it into a puppy room.

"Oh, and Pete and Mikey have been dating for a while now. They seem pretty great together. It's been a year and a half now. I think Mikey is actually moving in with him. I went out for drinks with them the other day with Jamia. We had a lot of fun, it'd be even better if you were there."

I got a text from Jamia, reminding me that I promised to go to her house and help her hang some paintings.

"I'm sorry I can't stay, baby," I said. "I've gotta head out and help Jamia with something. I love you so much, I'll see you tomorrow."

I leaned down, kissing his forehead before I headed home.

I found the doctor, biting my lip.

"Gerard has been in a coma for two years now," I said quietly and he nodded. "I-I think it's time."

He reached forward, squeezing my shoulder comfortingly. We walked into the hospital room and I cried quietly as I held his hand.

"I love you, baby, more than anything else in the world," I whispered. "It's your time to go, baby, I hope I'll be able to see you again wherever you go."

I broke down sobbing, squeezing his hand.

"I'll give you a moment," the doctor said, walking out and shut the door.

I sniffled, looking up at him.

"I love you, baby, I'm so sorry all this happened to you," I said. "We were supposed to get married and get a bunch of chihuahuas and live happily ever after. I know we'll meet again someday in Heaven or Hell or wherever the fuck we'll go, but we are always going to be able to come back to each other, I know that."

I gave him a soft kiss before standing up, wiping my eyes.

"I love you," I whispered.

I let the doctor in and held onto Gerard's hand as I listened to the steady rhythm of the heart monitor. The doctor was just about to turn off the life support machine when there was a small gasp and Gerard's eyes opened.
