Adopted By The Ways (Gerard and Mikey Way)

chp 8

We left the hospital and hopped into Gerard's car. Gerard was just pulling out of the parking lot when his phone rang.
"Hello... hey man what's up?...same... just leaving the hospital.... my little sister got hurt at school.... my mom and dad adopted her a few months ago while we were on tour, we just met her yesterday.... yea, sure that sounds great, where at?.... alright we'll see you tonight.... ok see you soon, bye." Gerard hung up his phone and said. "That was Andy, BVB is in town and they want to get together tonight. How does that sound guys?" Gerard asked us. Everyone agreed to go to dinner.
"Sounds good, where at?" Ray asked.
"We'll meet them at Chili's."Gerard replied.
Once we got home Ray carried me inside and set me down on the couch.
"Were gonna leave by 6:30, so everyone please be ready to leave by then." Gerard said to everyone before disappearing in his room.
A semi-awkward silence hung over us for a few minutes. I began to shift out of my seat decided that I should change my clothes too. I don't know what the doctor did to numb my wound, but my whole leg is completely numb.

"Umm... Mikey, do you have any crutches I can use?" I asked my brother.
"Yea, why?" Mikey asked me.
"So that you guys don't have to carry me around all the time." I answered him.
"How is your leg feeling right now?" Frank asked me.
"My entire leg is numb, I can't feel it at all." I said patting my leg showing them that I can't feel anything.
"The doctor gave you a shot when he numbed your wound, kind of like a painkiller.... it should wear off by tomorrow." Ray informed me.
"Alrighty then, that's good to kno. I'm gonna go and change my clothes." I said getting off the couch nearly falling back down.
Frank jumped up grabbing me and haul me over his shoulder being careful of my leg and walked upstairs, down the hall and to my room. Frank set me down on my bed, he strolled over to my closet picking out an outfit for me to change into. (A/n: outfit pic at beginning of the chp.) Frank smiled at me as he set out a shirt and skirt or me.
"Here you go Dolly." Frank announced.
"I could of gotten my own clothes, but thanks." I smiled at him.
He smiled back, looking around my room then back to my bed and on my guitar case
"Could I see your guitar, doll." Frank asked motioning towards my guitar case.
I nodded and he opened it up and winced like he felt my guitars pain. My acoustic guitar layed in pieces in its case.
"What are you going to do about your guitar?" Frank asked looking up at me. I shrugged.
"I'll try to piece it together and never play it again." I said to him.
"Ohh."
"I can't throw it away, my dad gave it to me on my 13th birthday. It's too sentimental." I looked down.
"It's alright doll, I'll help you." Frank grinned at me. "Ok I'll let you get dressed. If you need any help.... just give me a shout and I'll be here for you." Frank said leaving my room.

When I was finished changing my clothes I hopped, as best as I could, to my door using the walls as my leverage to get to the stairs. I swear I must have looked like a weird person or something. Like my leg I'd dead/numb as fuck and I'm trying to balance myself on one leg, but n I can't bend my 'numb' leg cuz I can't feel it... if that makes any sense... lol.

The guys waited at the foot of the stairs for me. I saw that Mike had found crutches for me to use. We left and arrived at Chili's and we were escorted to our party. BVB stood up from their seats as we approached them. Everyone greeted each other as I stood awkwardly by Frank waiting to be introduced to BVB.

"Guys this is Lexi. Gerard and Mikey's adopted sister. Lexi this is Andy, CC, Ashley, Jinxx and Jake." Frank introduced me to BVB and I shook their hands as Frank named them off to me.
"So your the one who was in the hospital earlier. What happened? If you don't mind us asking?" Andy asked me. I hesitated at first, but decided to tell a little bit of it.
"I got into a fight at school... and I got hurt." I left it at that. BVB looked down at me knowing that I didn't tell them everything.
"It sounds like there's more your not telling us." CC says.
"We'll yea, of course there's more. But I'm not gonna tell you." I rolled my eyes.
"Why not?" CC asks.
"It barley met you like 5 seconds ago." I stated the obvious.
"It's alright girly, you don't have to tell us." Jinxx said to me.
"Alrighty, let's eat." Andy announced. We all sat down at the table.
♤seating arrangements: Gerard, Andy, Ashley, Ray,Jake, Frank, me, Cc, Jinxx and Mikey.♤
We ordered our drinks when the waiter came around. Everyone talked amongst themselves while I stayed quiet.
"Lexi where are you from?" CC asks me.
I looked up at him and replied.
"I'm from Tombstone, Arizona."
"Where is that?." CC asked.
"It's a small town outside of Benson." I answered.
"What is it like there?" CC asked
"It's hot all the time, it's an old ghost boom's town. It's very much haunted, I loved it there." I replied.
"What kind of Boom town was your home?" Andy asked from across the table.
"Silver mining town, it was very active during the 1800's, people came from all over the U.S. to get their riches... alot died during that time." I said to Andy. "Cowboys were always causing trouble, they were killing and robbing. In Tombstone, we always do this week long reenactments for tourist that come to visit the old wild west. It's fun." I smiled.
"Do you do reenactments?" Jinxx asks.
"I use to. When I worked at the Crystal Palace we all would dress up as anything from the wild west, like an Indian, or a Solid Dove...." I was interrupted.
"What's a Soiled Dove?" Ashley asks.
"A Soiled Dove is another word for a prostitute." I explained.
"Wow, I learned something new today." The guys laughed. "How old are you Lexi?" CC asked me.
"I'm 16." I answered.
"Really!?! You look younger than that, munchkin." Andy said
"I'm not a munchkin or a midget.... I'm fun sized, ok." I said with sass. Everyone laughed.
"So can you tell us what you like to do for fun?" Andy asked me.
"I liked to play my guitar, I like to draw, read and write. I liked hanging out with my friends back home." I answered him.
"Liked? As in past tense? What happened to your guitar?" Andy asked me. I looked down.
"Bullies smashed it at school today." I answered Andy.
"Is that why you got into a fight?"
"That was reason of the fight. They were walking away after they smashed my guitar. I was beyond pissed off and I threw my apple at one of them hitting the 'leader' head and I ran. At him tackling him to the ground, I got to punch him a few times before his goons pulled me off and I kicked him in the nuts hard. My bully and his goons dragged me to the back of the school and.... uhh..... they held me down while my bully carved FREAK on my thigh.... that's why I was in the hospital earlier, the cuts were deep and I needed stitches.... so yea." I kinda spaced out. I didn't want to be there anymore.
Then I realized what I just said and where we are at, I may have just ruined this whole this. I facepalmed it.
"Fuck." I groaned.
"Ouch... can we see it?" CC asked me. I looked at him appalled.
"What... no." I sqeaked.
"Not here, not now CC." Andy said from across the table.
The conversation ended there and we ordered our food. A little bit later our food arrived and we talked while we ate our dinner, just mindless chatter and I just listened to the conversations. I smiled to myself, I actually generally felt happy right now at this moment, I don't know why, I haven't felt this happy in over 2 years. Like I have no worries, no problems at all. BVB and MCR are amazing, their funny and full of life. For the first time in 2 years.... I don't regret surviving the crash.
