Obsession

23. In The End

~Two Years~

I sit in the living room, the news playing on the tv as background noise. I haven't really been paying much attention to it, that is until G/N jumps up from the floor, dropping her toys in the process and jumping up and down, pointing at the tv. "Daddy!" She shouts excitedly and I look up, dropping my phone to the couch beside me and staring at the tv screen. His hair had grown out and was obviously no longer that vibrant red-orange, but it was definitely him.

I feel a single tear roll down my cheek as she plops down in front of the tv, confused as to what was going on. The only words my brain could comprehend were the two I knew were coming "Lethal Injection," I feel my heart drop at the thought.

A few minutes later, G/N returns to her toys, tv forgotten as I find myself staring off into space. My phone rings, pulling me back to earth and I quickly pick it up "hello?" I ask, "may I speak to a miss Y/N L/N, please?" A professional female voice asks from the other end "this is she," I respond quietly, "miss L/N, Mr. Way has requested to see you a last time." She says seriously, I gulp and nod even though she can't see me "o-okay," "just come when you're ready miss L/N,"

(I'm aware this ain't how it works, but its fanfiction sooooooo-)

~Skip To The Visit~

I carefully pull G/N from her car seat, Amy was busy and I dont really trust anyone else to babysit... I walk into the building, my three year old daughter holding onto my hand tightly at my side. "Mama, up?" She asks, stretching her arms toward me as I wait for the man at the desk to sort everything out. I carefully pick her up and hold her on my hip, she lays her head on my shoulder, wrapping her arms around me.

Eventually he gets everything sorted out and an officer comes to escort me to see him. I quietly follow them into a room where Gerard sits in an uncomfortable looking chair, head leaned back against the wall, arguing with a security guard across the room, I carefully set G/N down and she hides herself behind me. "You act like I'm gonna hurt her, she's the only thing that kept me alive long enough for you to-" he cuts himself off, lifting his head as the door clicks shut behind me "hey Sugar!" His face lights up immediately and he stands. He rushes to me and stops, looking down, "I'd hug you if I could doll..." he trails off and I turn to one of the officers "theres four of you in here, could you at least uncuff him?"

The officers glance at each other, shrugging and one steps forward, unlocking the cuffs. He gently rubs his wrists and steps toward me, pulling me into his arms, before noticing the little girl hiding behind me. He gasps lightly and let's go of me, crouching down to her level, smiling "hey there!" He says gently, "daddy!" She says excitedly and jumps into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. He hugs her back and looks up at me with tears in his eyes "she looks just like you Y/N," he says quietly.

I hadn't noticed, but she looked almost like a complete copy of me at her age, H/C hair, and all, except for her eyes... her beautiful hazel eyes that matched his...

I smile gently, looking towards the floor. "She has your eyes Gee..." I say gently and she pulls out of his arms, smiling "I see that," his smile widens "you're so pretty," he says to her, ruffling her hair and she smiles, "thank you, I get it from my mama!" She says, smile widening, eyes closed. "You sure do," he chuckles, standing and stepping back over to me. An officer clears his throat, signaling to hurry. Gerard rolls his eyes, gently pushing some of my hair back and resting a hand on my cheek "can I get one last kiss sugar?" He asks quietly, a slight pink tinting his cheeks.

"Of course," I smile, he leans forward, carefully pressing his lips to mine, holding my hands gently as if I might shatter. He pulls away soon, resting his forehead against mine, "I'll see you in another life Y/N..." he says quietly, "never let them take the light behind your eyes..." he sings gently, voice breaking a little toward the end. I wrap my arms around his neck, burying my face in his shoulder. Before I can fight it, tears begin to fall, soaking his shirt, he runs a hand through my hair, shushing me quietly and whispering small promises of a brighter future.

~An Hour Later~

I pull back up to the apartment complex, parking the car and getting G/N out of her car seat, dropping her off with Amy and her son Chase who was only a year younger than G/N.

Amy had offered to watch G/N for a bit of time so I could properly grieve... I dont deserve her...

Soon I finally make it inside, plopping down in bed, and thinking about everything that had happened in the past few years.

So much, that had influenced the person I am today...

And it all started with an Obsession...
