"About what?! the fact that you need to borrow money to buy more drugs?! cos i aint got two beans to rub together never mind money, and i never have. Go away, your not my best friend."

"Thi isn;t about the fuckin drugs!" cried Gerard, running a hand though his hair.

Gerard stared at the floor "I'vegotcancer" he whispered "they-they don;t know how advanced it is yet."

"You what?" said mikey, not hearing him properly

Gerard kept his eye on teh floor "I've got cancer"

Mikeys face turned as white as a sheet. he shook his head slowly getting faster.

Lilly griped Mikeys hand "You're not serious"

Gerard nodded "Mom had all of us tested after Jaden came back, they're all clear" he said.

MIkey stepped back. "No. This cannot be happing. NO!" said mikey backing away. "Tell me this is some sick joke gerard. Please!"

"Ho do you think ti is for ME Mikes?! I wish I could tell you it was some sick joke, I wish I could tell you I wasn;t probably going to die" a theis point his had to bury his haead in his hands to hide ears.

Mikey sunked to the ground agai9nst a lampost, shaking his head and crying. "No..."

Lilly rubbed Mikeys shoulder.

Gerard wiped his face "Just thought you should know" he said uietly.

Mikey stoodd up and shakily walked over to gerard and pulled him into a hug. "your not leaving me bitch, we haven't managed to do half the things we said we would do together

Gerard gave a shaky laugh "Where do we start?"

"Well, since i'm in a relationship, we're skipping teh gay stuff." mikey smiled tearfully

Gerard laugh was stronger this time "Dude, thats fine by me"

Mikey smiled and wiped his eyes. "Just promise me one thing?"

"what is it?" asked Gerard warily.

"Stop with the drugs."

Gerard shrugged "Have to don't I? Chemo doesn;t work if I keep takin' them"

Mikey sighed in relief

"Not taht it always works anyway" he added darkly.

Lilly roleld ehr eyes "Wow you're a positive one"

mikey looked up and smiled lightly. He hugged Lily.

Lilly iled

gerard looked slightly pained and averted his aze.

"Whats wrong?"
