Chapter 7- I'm Trying, To Let You Know Just How Much You Mean To Me

Mikey's POV

I heard the door slam close and it caused the whole bus to vibrate. 

"Shit," I said before getting to my feet and walking into the living room. "Well, that went well," I told Frank and Ray sarcastically. Frank just gave me the 'I told you so' look before going back to his cell, probably texting Jamia to check on the twins. "I don't know what to do?" I cried out falling to the chair and placing my head in my hands. Frank put his cell down and Ray came to sit next to me. He put his arm around my shoulders. 

"How sure are you that she's your daughter?" He asked me. 

"Almost positive. I want to be there for her but I don't know if she'll let me. I want to make up for the fact that I missed 15 years of her life," I told him, and I meant it. 

"Go find her then! We'll call Gerard and then come and help you but you should go. Don't let her get a too far away," Frank called out as I ran out of the bus, I was going to be the father she needed.

I ran through the streets, not stopping. Elena wouldn't exactly stand out against the crowd but I would still know it was her if I saw her. I just kept on running until I was on the main street, the mall was there. Maybe Elena had gone somewhere crowded to try to blend in. It was worth a try. 

I put my sunglasses on and entered the mall hoping not to be recognised by any fans so it would be easier to find her. I walked through the crowds trying to catch a glimpse of her. After a while I noticed a small group gathering outside a music store, I stopped to see what was going on.

Elena. She was playing Summertime, and playing it awesomely. I don't think she knew how well she could play, then her mouth opened and a wonderful voice escaped her lips. When she got the end of the song a single tear had fallen down my face. Elena thanked the crowd and walked back into the main store area. The main body of people dissipated but some wondered into the store. They all headed over to the CD's probably trying to find the album Summertime is from.

I walked over to Elena to find her talking to two people about the guitar she was playing before. I gave a her a smile and let her finish talking to them, she smiled back. Maybe just maybe there was a chance we could be a family. Maybe she could come back with us to America. At that point I decided that I was going to do whatever it took to adopt Elena. All I had to do was to get Alicia to agree...

Elena's POV

A couple of people followed me into the shop and started asking about buying the guitar. Mikey also came over to me shooting me a warm smile of which I returned. Calling Jaimie he sorted out the people wanting the guitar and I went over to Mikey. 

"I'm so sorry for runni-" he stopped me speaking by pulling me into a heartfelt embrace, I wrapped my arms around his back and managed not to cry this time. 

"No Elena, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not being here, I'm sorry for not getting to know you better. I'm sorry for not knowing about you before today," I was shocked that he had said that last part. 

"Y-you didn't know about me?" I asked him. Mikey shook his head. 

"I lost contact with your mother not long after I left London to go back to New Jersey. She never told me she was pregnant, never told me about you," He whispered. He pulled me tighter against his chest. "Why don't we go back to the bus and talk more there. Away from people and before someone recognises me. Okay?" I nodded. We were about to walk out of the shop when I stopped and ran back to Jaimie. 

"I've got to go now, but I'll come see you at some point okay?" Jaimie hugged me.

"If he hurts you I'll kill him okay?" I nodded, Jaimie would always be there for me. He glanced over at where Mikey was standing, he had to take a second glance. "That's him?" I just nodded again. "That's Mikey Way, you've got to be shitting me Elle. You're Mikey Fuckin Way's daughter," I gave him a sly grin and walked over to Mikey. 

"Maybe, I'm sure we'll find out soon," I told him with a wink.

Ten minutes later we were sitting back in the living room of the tour bus. The others were still out looking for me and we decided against telling them that Mikey had found me. Mikey and I sat opposite each other with a cup of coffee each. Mine was milky and had so much sugar in it and his was black but also with a hell of a lot of sugar in. Seemed that we both had a bit of a sweet tooth. 

"You're gonna have to talk to your manager and Alicia y'know, you can't keep me a secret," I said with some sorrow knowing that he could just throw me back on the streets and forget about me if he wanted to.

"I wasn't planning to keep you a secret. I want to be here for you Elena. We have two more shows and a festival and then the Danger Days tour is over. Do you think you can wait until after Reading Festival?" he asked me with a smirk. 

"Reading Fest!" I almost screamed at him. Reading fest was one of the highlights of British Rock festivals, I'd heard so much about it and watched a few of the performances but I'd never actually been, I'd never had the money to be able to go. 

"I'll take that as a yes then. I could introduce you to a couple of the other bands playing to if you like. Panic! At The Disco and 30 Seconds To Mars are there, I'm sure I could get you a meeting with Brendan Urie and Jared Leto. Jared and Gerard are friends you know, and my brother loves giving his baby brother what he wants... And stealing my coffee," He said the last part with mock anger which I couldn't help but laugh at.

"So after Reading you'll call Brian and Alicia?" I asked hopefully. 

"Of course, and until then I hope you don't mind being backstage of a couple of shows and living in a tour bus with us," Mikey told me drinking the last dregs of his coffee.
