Maddie Way

Before the Adoption

"Damnit Madison!" My dad yelled at me for accidentally messing up his coke line, "You fucked up my line, you little son of a bitch. Get the fuck to your room before I beat the shit out of you!" He yelled in my face and I didn't scramble upstairs like I used to, I just flipped him off and walked up the stairs. Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. Hi, I'm Madison Gellar, but you can call me Maddie for short. I'm 14 and my parents are drug addicts and they abuse me. I'm very into bands and I hate my parents. For the past 6 years, I've been ignoring my parents and trying to get My Chemical Romance to notice me because I'm literally their biggest fan. I-"Madison, get down here! We have news!" My mother yelled up the stairs. I walked down the stairs to see what was happening and what they wanted to tell me because I heard 3 voices and not just 2. "Sweetheart, we're putting you up for adoption. Your father and I cannot take care of you anymore. Baby girl, we're so sorry." My mother said in the fakest voice she could possibly smother up. "It's cause you spend way too much money on your drugs and you hit me." I murmured under my breath and my parents gave me a glare but the social worker asked what I had said. "Oh, I just said it's okay. I understand." "I'm glad you do sweetie, but you're leaving tonight. You need to have your things packed and ready to go by 8pm. I'm so sorry, sweetheart. We never wanted this to end up that way." My father said and both of my parents had fake tears welling up in their eyes like they meant it. Bullshit.

"My things are all ready to go." I told the social worker. I was excited to see who I was being adopted by, seeming as my parents made the choice to make the adoption way before my notice. I was already being adopted! My social worker is pretty cool too, she likes the same things I do. We're definitely keeping in touch for sure. We pulled up to the agency and I saw this huge freaking car like no joke. My parents must be here then. "Are you ready to go, sweetie?" Kirstie asked me. Kirstie is 22 and she became a social worker because she knows what it feels like to be adopted and everything and when she talked to my parents about me, she would help me immediately. Kirstie said she had a surprise for me as for who my new parents were but she said parent. Not parents. Uh oh.

We walked into the agency and as soon as I saw him I squealed because hey, my new 'parent' was Gerard Way. Yes, Gerard Way, lead singer of My Chemical Romance. "You-you're Gerard Way! Holy shit, Kirstie wasn't kidding when she said she had a surprise for me!" I almost screamed and he giggled at my fangirling. "Madison, it's very nice to meet you. Kirstie has told us so much about you." The dark haired man in front of my very eyes said to me after his giggling which I found awfully cute. "You can call me Maddie, Gerard. But wait, 'us'?" I asked Kirstie and Gerard. "Yeah, your Uncle Mikey, Frank, Ray, Bob and I." He said calmly waiting for fangirling to happen again. Okay, so I was close to it but I just smiled like an idiot. "No fucking way." I said still smiling with enthusiasm.
