~Sunday~

Gerard and Lindsey are going out to dinner tonight. That means I get to watch Bandit. I love her and she's really cute, but I'm not sure if I can handle a child on my own. I was always the youngest in my family and I wasn't in the home for long. Wait a second...Jess! She's a babysitter, I think. She told me Friday after school when I went to her house. Maybe Gerard would let her come over. Oh no. That would mean should would find out who my family is. I mean she was probably gonna find out sooner or later. It's hard to keep a secret from her. I walk down stairs to see Gerard and Lindsey getting ready to leave. "Hey guys, would it be alright if I had a friend over to help me with Bandit. She's really good with kids and I promise we won't doing anything bad while your gone. Pllleeeaaassseee?" "Will it just be the two of you and Bandit?" Lindsey asks "Yeah." I nod. "When are we gonna meet this friend?" Gerard asks curiously. "Well about that... I've kinda been putting it off cause she's a huge fan of you and when I say huge I mean she knows everything about you, every inch of her walls are plastered with your face, almost every shirt she has is either a my chem shirt or a hesitant alien shirt, and she never stops talking about you!" Gerard starts laughing. "I should have know you would make friends with another fangirl." "What do you mean?" "Don't act all innocent. You can recite every Panic! At The Disco lyric and your room is full of posters. I can also heard you crying while watching Doctor Who." At least he didn't find my multi fandom/bandom pages on Instagram and Tumblr. I'm also glad he didn't see the fanfiction. There is so much Frerard. "So can I have her over or not?" I ask almost forgetting about Jess. "Only if we get to meet her." Lindsey replies. "Okay." I say taking out my phone and texting her. *Wanna help me babysit tonight?*
I quickly get a reply. *Sure, but only if the child is really cute and not the devil* then another text *jk I would help you contain the devil as well* Yay. I text back *K and I have a surprise for you when you get here* I get a text back *What is it?* *Well it wouldn't be much of a surprise if I told you.* I respond. "What time do you want her over?" I ask Lindsey and Gee. "Whenever you want is fine." Gerard replies. "Can she sleep over?" "Sure." They both agree. "K. I'll be upstairs." I quickly go upstairs and clean my room. Then I get ready and text Jess telling her to come over and giving her my address. She's gonna freak when she sees Gerard. *K. I'll be there in five.* She texts me. Then an idea pops into my head. I'll have Gee answer the door. About five minuets pass and I hear the door bell ring. I'm hiding near the bathroom, but I have a perfect view of the door. Gerard is closest to the door. "CAN SOMEONE GET THAT?! I'M IN THE BATHROOM!" I yell. As I suspected, Gerard goes for the door. Then I hear a scream. Jess is at the door barley able to talk. "Hey Lily, I think your friend is here." I'm laughing so hard. You could hear me from any part of the house. "Hi I'm Gerard. I'm Lily's dad." "UH HI I'M UM UH OH MY GOD." "Jess?" Gerard questions. "YEAH!" She screams in his face. I'm laughing so hard and there are tears of joy in my eyes. I can hear Gerard laughing too. She might hate me for this, but it's so worth it. She's still outside. "You can come in if you want." "OKAY" Why is she still yelling? I see her step inside. Oh God she's wearing a hesitant alien shirt. This makes it even better. Her voice grows really quiet. So quiet I have to almost jump out of my hiding spot to hear her. "Could I maybe...possibly...get a picture with you? I mean it's probably kinda weird to ask that cause you're my best friend's dad, but um please?" I've never heard her so quiet. "Sure. It's not weird at all." He puts his arm around her and she has the biggest flipping smile on her face. They take the picture and I flush the toilet for special effect and walk out of my hiding place. "Aww you guys are so cute." I laugh. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOUR FATHER IS GERARD BLEEPING WAY?! AND I AM CENSORING MYSELF BECAUSE THRE IS A CHILD SOMEWHERE IN THIS HOUSE!" I'm laughing so hard. "Thank you for the censors." Gerard says looking down at her. She is blushing so flipping hard. "Are you mad at me for not telling you?" I ask concerned. "KINDA! But I'll get over it." She says calming down a bit. I'm so glad she isn't that mad at me. "We gotta get going. Lindsey!" Gerard yells. She comes in with Bandit following her. Gerard picks up Bandit and blows raspberries on her exposed stomach. "Are you gonna be good for the girls?" "Yeah!" Bandit answers. "Aww small human!" Jess says. Lindsey and Jess introduce themselves. She is a little more clam, but not by much. Gerard sets down Bandit and walks over to me. "You know the rules and if you have a problem just call me." "Okay." I smile. "Have fun and be responsible." He says pulling me into a hug and kissing me on the forehead. I can see Jess' jaw hanging to the floor. This will take a lot of explaining. He lets go and so do I. They're about to walk out the door and then I hear Jess' quiet voice again. "Can I have a hug too?" is all she asks. It's rushed and barely understand able. Gerard just laughs and embraces her. Then he walks out the door. Once she sees them leave she bounces around and starts running. She runs upstairs. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" I yell to her from a distance. I grab Bandit's hand and walk up to my room. Jess already beat us there. She is screaming into my pillow and kicking her legs on my bed. "Why is the girl with the pretty hair having a fit?" Bandit questions. Jess' hair is blonde with green highlights. "She's not having a fit. She's just really happy." I say to Bandit feeding her curiosity. Bandit runs to her own room and I follow. She jumps on the bed and starts imitating Jess. "Bandit, what are you doing?" I question her. She pauses and looks at me. "I'm happy." She giggles. Then she goes back to doing the thing. Jess walks up behind me. "I didn't realize I was starting a trend." She laughs. Her face is red from the embarrassment and excitement of the recent events, but she looks much calmer. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I was afraid of how you would react and I wanted to make sure I could trust you first." "It's fine. I totally understand." she replies. I'm glad she does. She's my only friend. School is already a living hell. I can't imagine it without her. It's a little after 6 and I'm hungry. "Wanna order pizza?" I ask. "Sure." She replies. "Bandit, what kinda pizza do you want?" "Cheeeezzzzzzeeeee pleeeeeaaasssseeeee" she replies smoothly, which makes Jess and I both fall on the floor laughing. "BLACK OLIVES" Jess and I both shout at the same time. "Wait, you like black olives on your pizza too?!" She questioned. "It's the only topping besides cheese that I like!" I respond. Nobody else I know likes this topping. "Same!" She responds. We make a list of what we want and then we order online. Jess quickly types in the box 'send your cutest delivery boy' and then clicks submit. The we get a phone call. It's the pizza place. "I'm the only pizza delivery person available. Can I come?" Asks the person on the other line. It's a girl. We both laugh. "Sure." Jess replies and they hang up. When the door bell rings a couple mins later we go downstairs to answer it. We receive the pizza and pay the girl. She was pretty. Jess seemed a bit flirty. When the girl picks up the money I notice a small piece of paper. Jess winks at the girl. The girl gives a smirk and she leaves. "What was that?" I ask Jess. "Dang that girl was hot," is all she says. Wait what is her sexuality? I don't really care, but I don't wanna be a bad friend or misgender her or anything. "Did you give her your number?" "Yeah. I hope she calls cause I definitely wanna see her again." "What is your sexuality?" "I'm Bi. I probably should have told you, but I didn't really think it was important." She replies. "It's only important to me if it's important to you." I smile and place the pizza on the table. I help Bandit climb into her seat cause she is still a little short and grab the plates. After we eat, we play dress up for a little while to keep Bandit busy. Then we put her to bed and marathon Supernatural. We fall asleep before Gerard and Lindsey get home. When they do get home Gerard tries to scare us which results in Jess dumping almost an entire can of salt at him. It was one of those really huge cans. I take a couple pictures of him covered in salt and pouting. "That's what you get." I say and before I can say anything Jess whisper yells "WHEN YOU LET YOUR HEART WIN!" Then we start laughing again. We are a train wreck, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
